Being such a horror buff,

I always find it interesting when I see my favorite horror directors come out and tell the world their favorite scary stories and what motivated them while they were breaking into the industry. In a recent interview with DAILBEAST.COM, Wes Craven released his list of favorite hair-raising movies from when he started watching spin-tingling films and first fell in love with cinema. So, in light of Halloween, as the sun sets and the kiddies are all done with trick-or-treating, turn off all the lights, close the blinds and don’t be spooked by the dark figures nestling in the shadows of your home. They’re merely trying to enjoy the marathon of scary movies you are about to embark on. From Psycho to Frankenstein, allow your eyes to wonder and your mind to tease you all through the night, and just remember the fearsome, eerie tingling you feel on the back of your neck is just the undead frightened and leaning on you for comfort.
