Wes Craven: The Man And His Nightmares
New From Wiley: Wes Craven: The Man and his Nightmares by John Wooley. Wes Craven is one of the most successful and iconic horror movie directors in Hollywood. His masterful examination of the nightmarish nexus of dreams and reality helped spark a career that has spanned close to forty years. Then, with their mix of horror, sex, and humor, Craven's Scream movies helped revitalize the slasher film genre.
WES CRAVEN: The Man and His Nightmares (Wiley; ISBN: 978-0-470-49750-0; March 2011; $16.95 / Paperback) is a fascinating and insightful biography filled with new revelations from author John Wooley's most recent interviews with Craven and never-before-published material. Inside, readers will discover:
- The source of the nightmares that haunted Craven's childhood and how he coped with them later in life
- Craven's surprising scholarly roots
- The real-life events that sparked the creation of the infernal Freddy Krueger
- Why the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise didn't make him rich
- The real story that inspired The Hills Have Eyes
- The background dish on the Scream movies
If you've ever had nightmares about Freddy Krueger or psychopaths wearing Halloween scream masks, or if you want to know the real story of the director of the new Scream 4, WES CRAVEN is both revealing and entertaining.
