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.

Devin & James are back in the Den for the second episode in their series on WES CRAVEN, and this time we are taking on one of the most influential villains of all time... Freddy Krueger from A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. We are focusing on the series installments that Craven participated in, covering the story arc of his ultimate Final Girl, Nancy (played by Heather Langenkamp). We'll dive into the original NIGHTMARE from 1984, as well as 1987's NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS, and 1994's NEW NIGHTMARE, and discuss the ways Craven turned the slasher genre on its head, then twisted it again, and then gave it the ultimate meta twist to finish it off.

Devin and James are back in the Den with a new topic! This time we'll explore the career of horror pioneer WES CRAVEN! And, of course, we are starting at the beginning with Craven's roughest films, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and THE HILLS HAVE EYES. (TRIGGER WARNING: These films are very graphic.) Then we follow the course of his career into writing/directing one of the first comic book adaptations of the post-Donner's Superman era, DC's SWAMP THING! And this is just the beginning, as we'll have three more Wes Craven-centered episodes following in the weeks ahead!
