Could there be a more perfect name for a horror movie director?
I remember "Nightmare On Elm Street" freaked me the fuck out. I actually remember getting the novelization of it and...man, they didn't pull any punches. The mind that Craven had to conjure up something like this was...well, personally I think you could've closed the book on that genre. And you're talking about Jason Vorhees and Michael Meyers being outdone.
The other thing was that he was an Ohio guy. And as a teenager gave me hope to leave town and do something with my life. And he left with a cultural stamp on American culture. Pretty amazing.
