Wes Craven: Show Me the Money!

Horror fans have to face the music, Wes Craven is becoming the George Lucas of the horror genre. I’m not necessarily saying he doesn’t deserve a decent payday if he does a Scream 4, but the remakes are starting to get a little out of hand. Seriously Shocker and People Under the Stairs? He is really running out of material, and wait until all of you are suckered into buying the NEW Special Edition A Nightmare on Elm Street DVDs they release next year. Where you can listen to an audio commentary of Craven telling you the same story about his “inspiration” for the film one more time. Because we really need that!

Ehh fuck it this is what Shocktilyoudrop had to say, “There’s nothing solid but what you should probably know is that the remakes of The People Under the Stairs and Shocker are very much alive and well. Both are with Universal, but there’s no telling right which film will come first. It doesn’t sound like The Hills Have Eyes 3 is a priority right now, so that may be a long way off.”

    Wes Craven jumped the shark/went downhill shortly after People Under the Stairs. So we are nearing 20 years of overrated shit or just shit. No surprise at all that he is at a point in his career where he is just cashing checks.

    I love Wes for what he’s done…just not what he’s done lately. The Scream movies were pretty sweet, in my opinion, but somewhere around Cursed he lost touch with, well, horror in general. I’m still a huge fan and I will always love his work, but he needs to snap out of it.
