Horror Expo Featured Guests

WES CRAVEN GUEST OF HONOUR A Nightmare On Elm Street Scream The Hills Have Eyes SATURDAY ONLY!

Wes Craven has clearly established himself as an intellectual artist and pioneer of the modern horror film. He entered filmmaking as an editor on low-budget comedies with Sean Cunningham - creator of the Jason character for the FRIDAY THE 13TH movies. Wes then graduated to the position of writer-director with a grimly potent shocker in 1972 called LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. His infamy grew with the extraordinary thriller THE HILLS HAVE EYES, which has become a horror genre classic of the 70's, and spawned a Hollywood remake and subsequent sequel. By the end of the 70's, Craven was firmly branded as a serious horror filmmaker, and gained worldwide recognition in the 80’s with A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, and five popular and increasingly camp sequels followed the strikingly surreal original. His status and success was then re-enforced with the hugely popular SCREAM films in the ‘90s. Additional Wes Craven classics include THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, DEADLY FRIEND, THE SWAMP THING, SHOCKER, RED EYE, and many more. Rue Morgue is proud to present Wes Craven as ‘Guest of Honour’ of the 2008 Festival of Fear.
