This October, I’m going to be doing something a little bit different with my contribution to 4 Shots From 4 Films. I’m going to be taking a little chronological tour of the history of horror cinema, moving from decade to decade.
Today, we continue the 90s!
4 Shots From 4 Horror Films
Dellamorte Dellamore (1994, dir by Michele Soavi)
In the Mouth of Madness (1994, dir by John Carpenter)
Scream (1996, dir by Wes Craven)
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996. dir by Robert Rodriguez)
Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to actress Neve Campbell!
This horror scene that I love comes from 1996’s Scream. In this scene, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) explains to Ghostface why she doesn’t like horror movies. Unfortunately, when you’re trapped in the middle of one, it really doesn’t matter whether you enjoy the genre or not.
4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
86 years ago today, Wes Craven was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Craven started his career as an academic, teaching high school English. However, realizing that there was more money to be made in the film industry, Craven changed careers. By his own admission, he started his career directing “hardcore, X-rated films” under a pseudonym and it has been rumored that he was a member of the crew of the first “porno chic” film, Deep Throat. Eventually, Craven broke into the mainstream with some of the most influential and often controversial horror films ever made. From being denounced for the original Last House On The Left to changing the face of horror with A Nightmare on Elm Street to becoming something of a revered statesman and a beloved pop cultural institution with the Scream franchise, Wes Craven had a truly fascinating career.
In honor his films and legacy, it’s time for….

Today would have been Wes Craven’s 82nd birthday. I have to admit that I was shocked to be reminded that Craven was 76 years old when he tragically passed away in 2015. I always assumed that he was much younger, perhaps in his late 50s. Perhaps that’s because Craven himself always seemed so energetic and enthusiastic about both horror and cinema. He was one of the best ambassadors that the horror genre could have asked for.
Today, in honor of Wes Craven, we present to you….

Thank you for the cinematic memories, Wes Craven.
