I would like to bring up one my personal favorites of his; Scream. Everything about that movie; the writing, the acting, the characters, and the reveal... it's just amazing. The way it dissects and makes fun of slasher movie tropes (the same he himself popularized) was superb. It made me appreciate horror movies even more.
It saddens me to know that the creator of that movie has passed.
I never knew the man (although I've heard he was a nice guy), so I can't comment on him as a person, but as an artist... Well, I'll try my best. This man was a talented filmmaker, willing to poke fun at himself, and others. His films showed that even in a horror movie, you can have a sense of humor. Not many others tried to do that. His films have become pop culture icons, and for good reason. He's has left a mark on pop culture that will surely be there for years to come. Whether it be Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, or even The Hills Have Eyes, his movies will be ingrained in movie history.
Rest in Peace, Wes Craven.
You'll be sorely missed.
