Wes Craven horror films RANKED
In my opinion, Wes Craven is the greatest Horror director of all time. He is one of the few horror filmmakers to have an iconic hit in each decade. His films adapted with the times and each remain as perfect representation of that era. He writes many of his own movies as well. RIP Wes, we miss you.
