Wes Craven: The Lost Years
Manage episode 412917097 series 2796325
Devin & James are back in the Den with the third in their series on the career of writer/director Wes Craven. This time they turn their focus to the period between Freddy and Ghostface (1985-1995). We discuss all of his theatrical films during this era but put a spotlight on THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW, SHOCKER, and THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. Not so much "lost" as underappreciated, Craven shows that in many ways he was at a certain creative peak during this time, and being unfairly held up to what Freddy Krueger had become as the 1980's wore on.
