Are you serious?! Talk about a major blow to the film world. I'm crushed. I've always loved his movies, and they were part of the reason I got into the horror genre to begin with. RIP Wes. You will surely be missed.

Damn it. RIP, Mr. Craven

Sad stuff man. Sucks. I'm sure he had a lot of great films left in him too. At least he's no longer in pain.

*THGhost* · 08-30-2015, 10:33 PM

I had no idea he had brain cancer, I just assumed he'd retired from filmmaking.

He played a major part in me getting into horror. I love the Scream and Elm Street series, as well as his cult hits like The People Under the Stairs.

I guess this makes Scream 4 his final film then. Currently watching the Scream TV series, it's okay. But it's not Craven. He worked as an executive producer on the show. I wonder if the first season's finale will be dedicated to him.

His work will always be legendary and he shall be forever missed.

Oh man, that...that's terrible on so many fronts.

*Vicky82* · 08-31-2015, 03:56 AM

I didn't know he was ill. RIP Wes Craven

Interestingly, I just saw Last House on the Left and the Hills have Eyes for the first time a few weeks ago.

R.I.P. Wes.

Wes Craven and Oliver Sacks died on the same day. The world is going to be significantly less interesting...

*Wesley* · 08-31-2015, 12:13 PM

RIP Wes Craven. I liked the Scream films.

*Krutch* · 08-31-2015, 12:19 PM

Strangely enough, yesterday morning I threw on Scream while I cleaned the apartment. Then got caught up on the last 5 episodes of Scream the Series I missed. Then I head to a buddy's place and find this out

Brutal loss.

Sad news, indeed. Wes Craven was one of the innovators of horror, and probably one of the reasons I got into the older grind house films of the 70s and 80s. R.I.P to the man that left me utterly disturbed after watching the original Last House On The Left.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-31-2015, 05:09 PM

I'm not a fan of horror, so I never watched his movies, but I know a lot of people who loved his stuff. He was definitely good at what he did and will be missed. R.I.P., Wes.

Wow, didn't even know about the cancer..
R.i.p.
