A representative for legendary filmmaker Wes Craven, creator of dozens of films including “Scream” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, has confirmed that he passed away following a battle with brain cancer. He was 76, reported Comicbook.com.
Born in Ohio, Craven earned an undergraduate degree in English and Psychology from Wheaton College in Illinois and a master’s degree in Philosophy and Writing from Johns Hopkins University. He became one of the most prominent voices in horror, with a public persona to rival even his own professional accomplishments, and was sometimes compared to the similarly-charismatic Stan Lee.
Some of his other films include The Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on the Left, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The People Under the Stairs, Vampire in Brooklyn, Cursed, Red Eye and My Soul to Take. From a comic book perspective, he helmed 1982’s Swamp Thing with Adrienne Barbeau and Ray Wise.
Craven’s official website has been crashed since news of his death started to ripple through social media, but his passing was confirmed by his official Twitter account:
