But i think now he's mostly become a joke with horrible movies such as Cursed, My Soul To Take and with all his movies being remade. Also Scream 4 was a huge disappointment at least to me.

i don't think having your movies remade makes you a joke; if anything, having your movies remade is a further testimony to ones influence and longevity in the field.
i love wes craven, but like you villain, i have been unimpressed with the last ten years of wes' career. but that's ok; for my money, from the beginning of the 70's through the late 90's/early whatever you call 'ems, wes was making important, meaningful movies. thirty years is a long time to contribute.
two of the things i enjoy most about wes' movies are his explorations of fractured families, and their failure to support and properly care for one another. i also appreciate wes' persistent presentation of strong, resourceful female characters.
