His movies still scare the bejesus out of me.. Rest in Peace film maker

Very sad. He made some absolutely iconic horror films. I was much too young to see "Nightmare on Elm Street" in the theater (though it terrified many a sleepover!), but the first "Scream" was one of the most fun thrill rides I've ever had at the movies.

Nice piece on him:

Totally forgot he did The Serpent and the Rainbow, with the scene guaranteed to make every male in a theater hunch over in terror. You know the one I mean.
