Not ashamed to admit I shed a tear today for a great man. I've watched a few of Craven's movies today and I made it through fine…until the end credits for Scream came up and the song, Whisper to A Scream started. I couldn't help it. The guy has made art that has been a huge part of my life for decades, and will stay a part of my life for as long as I walk the Earth. Tears were inevitable, and for me, very appropriate.

Thanks for the appreciation, Repo. Respect & understand your feelings. As a Master Horror filmmaker, he indeed gave us so much that never can be forgettable in this lifetime. Every time now I see his warm, kind & gentle face in any site or fb page & the knowing that this legend is no longer with us anymore, it just saddens me more & more. If I'm not wrong I think he's the only Horror mastero with highest number of (4) franchises...ANOES, SCREAM, HILLS HAVE EYES & WISHMASTER!!

I need my marathon now but fucking hell I can't escape work. I'll likely start mine if and when I ever get a day off again.
Least this gives me time to make a proper list. Although I know it'll mostly be Hills Have Eyes, Cursed, and Scream.

I love the man's music but I can't help but fall of the bed in laughter in complete agreement of this.

I feel for you, Roi. Ideally today would have been a national day of mourning for horror fans, and no one would have worked.

I feel really fortunate that I only had to work a few hours this morning, so I've been home, talking to some friends and watching some of my favorite Wes Craven films. It's also been nice to visit this forum and check in with my HDC family. We're definitely all of the same heart today.

For the record, I've watched ANOES, Last House on the Left, Hills Have Eyes and Scream. I think Cursed is next and tonight, I've got plans to watch Scream 4 with the one I love.

I saw somewhere a meme with Wes's face and the words " Please tell me there's a plot twist ". Yeah, please?

Despite our recent loss, I have to say that you finding comfort here to be quite warming to my heart.

The only Wes Craven flick I actually own. Go figure
On the far right in my signature I included the werewolf from Cursed. I mostly threw it in there for the nostalgia as it was the first werewolf movie I think I bought for myself and I watched it so many times there after. Despite how the public viewed it, I was in love. I'm not big on CGI, in fact compared to traditional mediums like suits and props, I despise CGI. For that reason I considered taking the image out of my signature and replacing it with something more iconic to me, but I can't even think about doing such a thing now.

Oh if only... That's about my reaction every time I hear one of my favorite actors/directors/etc passes. I'm still in denial over Robin Williams to this day, and it doesn't help he was a comedian so it's like waiting a very very very long time for a punchline.

Bravo, Bloody Disgusting!! Nice share, Roi.

Thanks to a kidney stone I ended up in the emergency room last night. That means I'm confined to bed, pumped full of painkiller and watching the three Scream sequels back to back to back. Not feeling well has never felt so good.

Oh damn, I've heard they're very painful. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Hammer, that's thoughtful of you. The pain? I would describe it as unbearable. I am feeling much better, I appreciate you asking.

Thank ya!

Shit I've never had kidney stones, but sister did when she was very little, so I know from seeing firsthand how much they suck. Glad you're feeling better. I have the next two days off (FINALLY!!), so I can finally have my marathon! I'm going with Hills Have Eyes and Cursed. And maybe Scream since I have yet to check out my VHS copy. 8)
