Wes Craven was selected as the Portal of Horror Horror-related biography of the month for October 2007.

The latest addition to this article seems to be a copyvio: http://www.geocities.com/lasthouseuk/craven.html

I have marked and submitted it accordingly via this information. TheMonkofDestiny 03:44, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Article reverted to pre-copyvio version, per instructions on WP:CP

[edit] =

according to the Movie Encyclopedia, Craven studied philosophy and literature at Wheaton College and Johns Hopkins, was a professor of literature when he got into the horror movie biz. Are we sure it was psychology and writing, as our article says? jackbrown 19:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

"Wes Craven was born with two nostrils, and they are still functioning well, as of last report." Is this really needed in the article? I mean, I can't stop laughing, but somehow, it doesn't seem needed.

Any reason "Bonnie Chapin" links to "Tom Chapin"? thx1138 06:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early Career

In the documentary "Inside Deep Throat"[1], Wes Craven talks about how he (and most of his peers) started their film careers doing porn. I'm not sure how to put this in such a sparse article though, without giving it undue weight. AKAF (talk) 11:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
