When Wes Craven passed away in August, horror lost one of its most beloved directors. Craven himself was a real class act as a human being, and one of the friendliest guys you could get to meet in a genre that is populated with marvelous people. Craven of course directed at least two horror masterpieces in Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street, and he’s responsible for both discovering Johnny Depp and for having directed the first truly weak Eddie Murphy comedy.

Over the course of his career, Craven mostly stuck to horror, but he didn’t just repeat the same things over and over again. He made movies about voodoo, vampires, witchcraft, terrorists, the Amish, mutants, swamp monsters, werewolves, and of course resurrected girls enhanced with artifical intelligence. He cast singer Gloria Estefan in one of his movies, he directed both Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis in TV episodes, he directed Meryl Streep in an Academy Award nominated performance, and he of course directed a hardcore porn. Whatever you might think about Craven’s filmography, and it does include more misfires than hits, but it certainly isn’t boring.

As a loving tribute, we at CHUD chose to review everything Craven had ever directed in his lifetime. Get yourself something to drink and snacks, get your significant other, then Netflix and chill the fuck out of this:
