The many screams of Wes Craven’s films

Wes Craven reinvented horror at least three times across three different decades. First, with the shocking assault on the senses of The Last House On The Left in the ’70s. Next in the ’80s with the supernatural slasher of A Nightmare On Elm Street. And lastly with the metatextual deconstruction of Scream in the ’90s. People are still mourning the horror master’s death at age 76 and recognizing his legacy as an innovator and social commentator in the genre. One tribute to the director is a compilation of all the screams that originated in his films, and probably led to more than a few in the audience as well.
