1972 - PRESENT
From 1972's The Last House on the Left through the works of present day, learn more about Wes Craven's films.

Cunningham (who went on to direct Friday The 13th) got the opportunity to make a drive-in movie on the cheap, Craven responded with 1972’s The Last House On The Left, a crude but hugely resonant horror landmark that brought a new level of unvarnished realism to the genre.
Learn more about one of Wes' passions and the organization for which he sits among the board of directors.
