Wes Craven | From Elm Street to Scream 7 | The Lasting Shock

He made you fear your dreams… then made you laugh at your screams.
From A Nightmare on Elm Street to Scream 7, Wes Craven changed horror forever — twice.
In this deep-dive from Two Peas Out the Pod, Johnny uncovers the hidden life of the man behind Freddy Krueger and Ghostface:
A strict Baptist upbringing where movies were forbidden
three marriages and a quiet life of bird-watching, philosophy, and fear
The banned student film that almost ended his career before it began
And the daughter who accidentally launched Johnny Depp into superstardom
Craven wasn’t just the “Master of Horror” — he was the professor who taught fear how to think.

With Scream 7 bringing his legacy full circle, this episode reveals how one soft-spoken writer turned his nightmares into a $600 million franchise and a blueprint for every smart horror film that followed.

🎬 BONUS CONTENT: The lost film, the dream journals, and Craven’s own “rules of horror” that still shape modern cinema.
👻 Drop your favorite Wes Craven film in the comments — and stick around for the banned student film story. You won’t believe what the college did to him.
