Writer, producer, and director Wes Craven has successfully tapped into the horror vein for over 40 years, serving up scary, funny, cutting-edge thrillers that have become classics in the genre. His films have been both critical and commercial successes, most notably 'Nightmare on Elm Street,' which spawned a series of sequels and made Craven (and his creation, Freddy Kruger) an international sensation. He then created a second indelible series in the horror movie trope with 'Scream.' In 'Screams & Nightmares,' Brian J. Robb examines Craven's entire career, from his low-budget beginnings to his most recent box office hits, from the banned thriller 'The Last House on the Left' and the cult classic 'The Hills Have Eyes' to the outrageous 'Shocker' and 'The People Under the Stairs.'
