Topic Challenge: Wes Craven and his films [completed]

Question

Last sunday saw the death of Wes Craven, who looked back upon more than 4 decades of contributing to the shape of the horror and thriller genres, from creating iconic figures like Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger to spearheading the 90s revival of teen slashers with the Scream series. So to honor him and due to popular demand we decided to start a topic challenge from 2015-09-01 00:00 UTC to 2015-09-11 23:00 UTC asking for any kind of question about Wes Craven and the films written or directed by him.¹

Once the challenge is over, we'll tally the results and winners (by question votes) here. Also don't forget to suggest and vote for new topics for our next possible challenge.
