CRAVEN

Wes Craven is an American film director and producer best known for his horror creations such as A Nightmare on Elm Street. He has been particularly noted for the theory's that he uses in creating his horrors which we have discussed below. 
Picture
Wes Craven believes that horrors are more effective and less obvious if they take place in a stereotypical safe place therefore he chooses to set his horrors in places such as family homes, hospitals and schools - though they are usually secluded. 

He also uses the theory that there is usually an absence of parents in the characters life and most certainly within the film. This is because the parents represent an added dimension of safety.
