![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wooley's writing is detailed but concise, often taking direct quotes from the interview and letting Craven tell the story for himself. ![]() But a majority of the book has horror fans in mind and focuses on Craven's work as a filmmaker, a career spanning nearly forty years and almost thirty titles. Much of the book has been written around a single interview between Wooley and Craven (early attention is given to Craven's overly religious childhood and, at one point, Craven compares Baptists to vacuum salesmen). In his biography, Wes Craven: The Man and His Nightmares, writer and frequent Fangoria contributor John Wooley explores the roots of Craven's career condemnation. Wes Craven once said, "All of us have our individual curses, something that we are uncomfortable with and something that we have to deal with-like me making horror films, perhaps." It's a dead-on quote from a man who, despite everything you may have heard, never pursued a career directing scary movies, but embraced-or at the very least, accepted-the idea as an affliction.
