  • Summary

  • "We open on an old wooden bench. There's fire and tools in the background, and what looks like a pair of hands building what is revealed to be a set of shiny claws. The claws are moving now, as if awakening from a long, and unwanted sleep. Slowly, the man places a trembling hand onto the bench. Behind the lights; people watch in silence, ready to laugh, or scream out in terror..." Before Scream revolutionised horror for a new generation, maester of the macabre Wes Craven directed two movies earlier in the 1990s that covered two facets of his directorial vision - 1991's social satire The People Under the Stairs and 1994's New Nightmare, reviving his most iconic creation Freddy Krueger. In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by Joseph Maddrey, author of book The Soul of Wes Craven, to discuss these two very different films, horror in the 90s, and Craven's broader career. Plus, Joe discusses his favourite 90s movies... Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Joseph Maddrey Find A.
