Horror 101 – Episode 46: The Wes Craven Tribute – Sept 15th, 2015
With a heavy heart we give tribute to another horror icon that we’ve lost this year. This time the man that revolutionized modern horror and gave us Freddy Krueger sadly passed away and this is our crew’s opportunity to reflect on his works and say goodbye to Wes Craven. This 54 minute show has over 8 contributors. Many people wanted to join us in celebrating Mr. Craven’s career. His hits and his misses are all touched upon. We accepted call ins from friends and colleagues who added to the nostalgia. Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to one of the genre’s most cherished heroes.
