Re: Wes Craven dead at 76
American horror film director Wes Craven, creator of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, has died aged 76.
US media reported that Craven died at his Los Angeles home on Sunday from brain cancer.
Craven wrote and directed A Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984. His Scream franchise was reported to have grossed more than $100m (£65m) in the US.
He wrote, directed and edited his first film, The Last House on the Left, in 1972.
A tweet from his Twitter account featured a picture of him with the dates 1939-2015.
Craven was credited with reinventing the teen horror genre when the first film featuring Freddy Krueger was released in 1984 starring a then-unknown Johnny Depp.

There were reports that he didn't want to go public with his condition before his untimely death. RIP. A true legend to the craft. 
Re: Wes Craven dead at 76
That first Elm Street was amazing when it came out. Such a mistake to turn Freddy into a stand up comedian. I am one of the few horror fans that believe this never should have been turned into a franchise.
I need to watch The Hills Have Eyes. Haven't watched it in eons.
RIP
