One of the greatest horror movie maestros has passed away last Sunday. Wes Craven, the man behind The Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream franchises, had been battling brain cancer and took his last breaths at his home in Los Angeles on August 30. He was 76.
Craven.
Nobody can deny the huge impact Craven had in the horror genre. His movies have scared audiences since 1972 and spawned sequels, prequels, and even a MTV television series. In an effort to celebrate his genius, Fanboys Anonymous has compiled a list of his greatest movies.
The Last House on the Left (1972)
"To avoid fainting, keep repeating: 'It's only a movie, only a movie, only a movie...'"
The original 1972 poster.
Talk about a brutal movie. Craven's 1972 debut tells the story of two teenage girls who are taken into the woods and tortured by a gang of lunatics. As if the amount of violence the girls endure was not intense enough, things escalate further when the psychopaths end up seeking refuge in one of the girl's family home. Once her parents realize what has happened to their daughter, they decide to get revenge on the thugs, even if that means they will become murderers themselves.
Upon its theatrical release, The Last House On The Left was met with extreme censorship due to the sadistic violence and rape scenes. According to IMDB, the movie was banned for 28 years in England and for 32 years in Australia. The uncut version was so filled with disturbing scenes that a distribution company tried to market it as a real snuff film.
There was a 1980 sequel and a 2009 remake, but go with the original.
The Hills Have Eyes (1977) & The Hills Have Eyes 2 (1985)
"A nice American family. They didn't want to kill. But they didn't want to die."
The original The Hills Have Eyes poster.
Both movies center around a simple idea: a family gets stranded in a remote part of the Nevada desert and is hunted down by mutated savages. Fun times.
Not running short on disturbing scenes, both movies have become cult favorites. According to IMDB,
"when originally submitted to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the film was given an X-rating which would have relegated it to the porno circuit and severely hurt the box-office returns. Wes Craven cut the film enough to secure an R rating, and the original director's cut is thought to be no longer in existence."
Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab a crucifix.
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again...
The original movie poster.
One of the most successful slasher movies to date, Nightmare on Elm Street introduced the audiences to a very frightening idea: what if dreams could kill?
In the movie, teens are hunted by a cruel serial killer who murders his victims in their dreams. The only chance they have to survive is to stop him before it is too late and not fall asleep in the meantime.
Nightmare on Elm Street was not only Johnny Depp's first movie, but also Freddy Krueger's. Even though Freddy only has about seven minutes of screen time in the first movie, the success was so massive that it saved New Line Cinema from bankruptcy. In fact, it granted the studio the nickname "The house that Freddy built."
Freddy Krueger.
The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise also spawned nine movies, a 1988 television series, novels, and comic books. On August 7th, 2015, it was reported that New Line Cinema is developing a new remake, which is being written by Orphan's David Leslie Johnson.
If all of this awesomeness has not convinced you to watch (or re-watch) Nightmare, picture this: young Johnny Depp, gallons of blood, bed.
Depp in Nightmare On Elm Street.
Go watch it.
The Serpent and The Rainbow (1988)
In the legends of voodoo the Serpent is a symbol of Earth.
The Rainbow is a symbol of Heaven.
Between the two, all creatures must live and die.
But because he has a soul, man can be trapped in a terrible place where death is only the beginning.
Seriously underrated, this movie is based on a nonfiction book by Wade Davis and it tells the story of an anthropologist who goes to Haiti to investigate a drug used by voodoo practitioners to turn people into zombies.
A voodoo priest in The Serpent and the Rainbow.
Not only this is probably one of the best horror movies out there about voodoo, but it also gives us a peek at the political unrest that plagued a pre-revolution Haiti. In fact, "due to political strife and civil turmoil (...) during the production, the local government informed the film crew that they could not guarantee their safety for the remainder of the shoot," which caused them to relocated to Dominican Republic in order to finish it.
The Serpent and the Rainbow is also Craven's first film to get a R rating without any problems by the MPAA.
The People Under The Stairs (1991)
"In every neighborhood there is one house that adults whisper about and children cross the street to avoid. Now Wes Craven, creator of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" takes you inside..."
Original movie poster.
One of Craven's comedy/horror movies, The People Under the Stairs tells the story of a young boy from the ghetto, who while accompanying two older boys in an attempted burglary of the "home of his family's evil landlords, becomes trapped inside their large suburban house and discovers the secret of the children that the insane brother and sister have been 'rearing' under the stairs."
Brandon Adams as "Fool."
The movie was number one at the box office during its opening week and stayed in the Top 10 for a month after. Earlier this year, Craven confirmed he would be adapting it into a television series for Syfy, so hopefully we will get to see a new take on this classic soon.
Everett McGill as "Daddy."
Scream (1996)
"Someone has taken their love of scary movies one step too far. Solving this mystery is going to be murder."
The original poster.
While attempting to cope with her mother's murder, Sydney and her horror movie-obsessed friends are stalked by a crazed killer known as Ghostface.
You will not survive if you say, "I'll be right back."
You will not survive if you ask, "Who's there?"
You will not survive if you go investigate a strange noise.
Everyone is a suspect.
Dead on, right? Skip the sequels and indulge in the original.
Wes Craven will truly be missed. Although not all his movies were described in this article, they should be must-sees in every horror fan's list and will continue to be considered classic no matter what happens in the film industry.
As a horror-obsessed fan, I say thank you Mr. Craven for all the scares, thrills, and laughs.

Before we get into this, yes, I'm an Android guy. I've never owned an Apple product for a couple of different reasons—mostly money—but I've never been opposed to the idea of owning Apple products, either. So far, there just hasn't been anything that was so much more interesting and better than the non-Apple alternatives that I could afford and justify the price difference. There are plenty of other people here at Fanboys Anonymous who are more knowledgeable not only about Apple products, but about phones in general. However, that's one of the reasons why I decided to write this article from this perspective: as an Android user, is the iPhone 7 something that appeals to me enough to make me want to make the jump over and switch my phone?
Many people are salivating at the idea of the latest edition of the iPhone series without knowing any information about it whatsoever, just because they're loyalists and fond of the brand. As an outsider, it's going to take more than just the word "new" to get me in line. Since rumors are flying around now about this latest release, I started looking at the details to see if anything stood out to me. Here's some of the information I've come across so far.
Note: Remember that this is speculation on a lot of websites' parts, so don't take this information as 100% fact.
Name = iPhone 7 or iPhone 6s Plus or...
Let's start off with something very basic: the name. Right now, it isn't even confirmed that the name will be the iPhone 7, although most people are referring to it as such. An alternative name rumor is that it will be the iPhone 6s Plus, but there are also reports saying it could be named anything from the iPhone Air to something totally new.
What's in a name? Marketing can go a long way based on a name, but I'm not buying a product based on its name alone. I'd be hesitant to purchase a phone called "The Piece of Shit That Never Works", but you could name it "Totally the Most Awesome Phone Ever" and it wouldn't make me pull out my wallet. More people would be willing to buy the iPhone 7 than the iPhone 6s Plus, though, I'd assume, because it would seem like a bigger upgrade and worth the price difference.
Size = probably 4.7 or 5.5 inches
I'm someone who doesn't like phones that are too huge, but not super small, either. I currently have an LG G3, which is 5.7 inches and sometimes can be a little cumbersome. All in all, if the new iPhone is around this size, I'm okay with that.
As far as the thickness goes, one can assume that it would be slimmer than previous models, but that's not a guarantee. Even if it is, I can't seem to find a straight answer for how much it would be. At a certain point, if phones get too thin while being too wide, they become awkward to hold. As long as they keep that in mind and don't make it super thick, that's a plus.
Standard Improvements
It would be odd to hear that the new iPhone would be worse in any way such as camera resolution, display, battery life, and so forth. Then again, how much of an improvement can you really tell between cameras that are already good or displays that are comparable to one another?
When it comes to battery life, that might even end up being worse than before! Sometimes, stronger processors and such just suck up the juice more by default and these companies would rather not call attention to it. If you start seeing advertisements that basically equate to "Oh, uh, battery life? Well, uh, before I answer that question, let me show you all these cool new features. Woaaaah, totally awesome, eh? So cool! Bells and whistles! Who cares about that battery, am I right? Apple! WOO!" then we'll get our answer that it's a downgrade.
Capacity Expectations
Supposedly, there will be three versions: 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB. This is one of the biggest reasons why I've never gotten an iPhone in the past. I like the idea of being able to put a memory card in and expand my phone's space and it kind of bugs me even just in theory that Apple ignores that idea. That just feels like a means to grab as much money as possible and beat down the consumer with the idea that they should avoid buying products (memory cards, in this case) from other companies in any case.
Pricing
That leads us to the biggest reason why I'm an Android guy, which is the cost. Estimates for the iPhone 7 place it at the $900 mark. Hell no! I'm still trying to pay off my $600 LG G3, which I wrestled with the price of for quite a while. Particularly if you have an iPhone 6 or some other kind of phone, Android or not, that isn't outdated or broken, I just can't see spending a thousand dollars on an upgrade unless that upgrade is massively significant. If money is nothing to you, then my opinion on that matter means even less, so you'll go ahead and get it anyway, but if you're someone like myself who has to watch what he spends, $900 is hard to justify no matter how you cut it.
BOTTOM LINE: Nope, I won't be converted to the Apple side of things.
When you don't have the money to upgrade your phone constantly, you need to be conservative of which upgrades you do. The main reason why I switched to the LG G3 was because my previous phone (LG Optimus L9) was rather outdated and wasn't functioning as well anymore. Since receiving the last Lollipop "upgrade" to my phone, it's had a bunch of problems that it never had before, which are irking the crap out of me, but those problems combined with what's being spoken about for the iPhone 7 aren't enough to convince me to make such a drastic switch.
To an extent, some of this is just the Apple brand's methodology itself. As someone who doesn't own any of their products, it feels like a commitment I'm not willing to make. Most people I know treat Apple loyalty as a lifestyle choice where they get sucked into buying all types of their products down the line. Some of those people, naturally, just do it because they prefer those specs, which is the right reason for purchasing them. Others, though, buy them just because they recognize the name better and like being able to say that they own that product. I've never seen the reason to spend $50 on a plain white t-shirt from a more expensive store if the quality is the same at Old Navy for $5, so if you took an iPhone 7's label off, called it the jPhone 7 and decreased the price to $600, I'd be more open to the idea.
Another reason why I can't see myself changing is the lack of flexibility. 16GB has been more than enough for me so far with my LG G3, but if I found myself needing more storage, I'd be screwed if I had an iPhone. With mine, I can just put in that memory card I purchased for $5 and be all set. I also like being able to use cables and other accessories from a wide variety of vendors rather than needing to have Apple-brand everything, for the most part.
Really, if nothing is screaming out to me to upgrade to the LG G4 at this time, then I'm really seeing even less of a reason to go over to the iPhone 7 for even more money. It may be newer and fancier in some ways, but until it starts pulling out some Minority Report holograms and Iron Man-style J.A.R.V.I.S. artificial intelligence, it's just a big check for some minor improvements in my mind.
The iPhone 7 is set to be released sometime around September with an official launch day not currently announced. Until then, speculation and rumors will run wild and people will be asking whether the iPhone 7 will be a success or a failure.
More importantly than what I think, though, what do YOU think? Are you an iPhone user who is excited about this new release or are you sticking with what you currently have? Are you an Android user who will be making the switch come September?

Richelle Mead's intricate writing has always captivated me. She has this uncanny ability to mix mythical creatures with a believable plot and a modern-day romance.When her newest adult series, Age of X, hit stores a few years ago, I decided to wait a while before diving in. I'm always distraught over cliffhanger endings, and being able to read a few back to back is just what I need to cure a good book hangover. After finishing both books in the series, I can't believe I waited two years!
Gameboard of the Gods is a dystopian world–driven story that is so well developed, so detailed, that I actually felt as though I were part of its culture. Given that Mead has a Master's degree in comparative religions, I wasn't surprised to find that the story had a lot to do with the gods of different cultures.
The story follows Mae, an enhanced military soldier, and Justin, a drug-addicted and sometimes too snippy religious group investigator. Without giving too much away, the book is exactly as the title says. The entire world is a gameboard of the gods. Deities finding followers, performing miracles, and demanding a lifetime of servitude are just a few of the plots that unravel throughout.
Although Mae and Justin have a relationship not unlike the star-crossed versions of other series, Mead writes with such mature diversity that their relationship cannot be compared to that of the infamous young-adult Vampire Academy series. In fact, if you begin this series expecting it to be anything like her bestselling series, you may not enjoy it. It's told in a third-person limited point of view by three different characters.
At 160,000 words, this epic novel really gets inside the heads of the characters and explores all the twists and turns as each scene unfolds. The sequel, The Immortal Crown, furthers the story as we learn more about the controlling deities who have decided to make Mae and Justin their puppets.
If you are a fan of complex adult novels such as A Game of Thrones, this may be just the book for you. If you want something lighthearted and flimsy, you may want to pass. The third installment in the series is due out early next year. Either way, this book is a must read and is going on my list of top series of all time. Have you read or are planning to read this series? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

If you enjoy watching Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story, so far you have
"Lived at the Murder House (...) escaped the Asylum (...) protected the Coven [and] attended the Freak Show."
Now, prepare to check into Hotel!
With the premier for the fifth season fast approaching, October 7th to be exact, many juicy details (and rumors) have been going around about American Horror Story: Hotel. Here are some things that have been confirmed so far.
The Inspiration
According to Murphy, the biggest inspiration for this season came to him after he watched the infamous Elisa Lam footage, a surveillance video recorded at the Cecil Hotel.
Now rebranded as Stay on Main Hotel, The Cecil Hotel was built in Los Angeles in 1924 and seems to have been a magnet for creepiness and violence from the get-go. Located a short distance from skid row, it has been the site of at least three confirmed murders and several suicides. The Cecil was also reportedly the residence for serial killers Richard Ramirez (the Night Stalker) in 1985 and Jack Unterweger in 1991.
The Cecil Hotel before its name change.
If that weren't eerie enough, there are rumors it was one of the last places Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia, was seen before her murder in 1947.
But who is Elisa Lam?
Elisa Lam.
Elisa Lam was a 21-year-old Canadian student who was visiting Los Angeles by herself for the first time. She checked into the Cecil in February 2013, and after five days of sightseeing, she disappeared.
Her parents contacted the police after not hearing from their daughter, and a search ensued. However, weeks of investigation, including the use of scent-tracking dogs around the hotel and the distribution of flyers, produced nothing. Elisa was gone.
In an attempt to get help from the public, detectives released surveillance footage that had been recorded inside one of elevators. In it, Elisa seems to be acting rather strange. She is shown entering and exiting the elevator, which remains open, talking to someone we can't see and moving her arms in a particular manner, and when she is in the elevator, she stands near the buttons and seems to push several of them repeatedly. The elevator remains open throughout the video.
You be the judge.
The strangeness of the video caught many people's attention. Some speculated on Elisa's mental health, whereas others believed she must have been under the influence of some pretty intense drugs. Yet no one could tell what had happened to her.
Around the same time this footage was made public, guests staying at the Cecil started calling management. The water had begun to taste odd and had strange color. In an attempt to locate the problem, hotel employees went to the roof to check the water tanks. Inside one of the tightly closed tanks, they found Elisa's lifeless naked body.
Firefighters attempting to remove the body from the water tank.
To this day, nobody really knows what happened. The official report ruled the death as accidental, but many questions still remain. Did someone put her there? The reports claimed there were no visual signs of trauma. Had Elisa been high on something and decided to go for a swim? The toxicology reports claimed only a small amount of painkillers were in her system. Could it be possible a small-framed girl managed to climb inside an eight-foot-tall water tank and lock the heavy lid from the inside by herself?
The peculiarity of this case does not stop there.
Around the same time of Elisa's disappearance, a new strand of drug-resistant tuberculosis was identified on skid row, which, as mentioned before, was mere blocks away from the Cecil. The CDC named the test used to diagnose this illness as the LAM ELISA test. Coincidence?
It is not yet clear how much of this story will be part of AHS's new season, but no one can deny it is one hell of a inspiration for the horror-based series.
Characters
A moment of silence for Jessica Lange. Yes, it is true she is not coming back this season, and she will be dearly missed. Some of the series regulars are coming back, however, and they will be sharing the screen with some interesting newbies. Here is what Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have revealed about the characters so far:
AHS: Hotel cast.
Lady Gaga: Elizabeth is a wealthy, bisexual hotel owner, who, according to Murphy, is obsessed with art, fashion, and people. She has "relationships with Angela Bassett, Bomer, Wittrock, and Cheyenne Jackson’s characters." Murphy also added that Elizabeth has a "nefarious plan" and viewers will find out about it in the premiere.
Sarah Paulson: "Hypodermic" Sally, a drug addict who lives in the hotel, is Paulson's first villainous character on the series. According to Murphy, she is "the baddest girl of them all." According to Paulson, Sally "hates Iris in a rather ancient way for reasons that are revealed quickly."
Paulson.
Kathy Bates: Iris is the hotel manager.
Finn Wittrock: "I play a male model named Tristan Duffy who is always looking for the next high," Wittrock revealed. "And I think he sort of finds the biggest high in Lady Gaga (Elizabeth). And we have a lot to do together. She sees all of me." Naked scenes, anyone?
Matt Bomer: Donovan is a resident of the hotel and is Iris' son. He will be entangled in a love triangle with Elisabeth and Tristan.
Denis O’Hare: Liz Taylor, a movie icon who works at the hotel's bar. "I'm not actually playing Elizabeth Taylor," he explained, "but I'm playing a person who is inspired by the awesomeness of Butterfield 8 and Cleopatra (...) I [also] shaved my head for the part, and other body parts."
Angela Bassett: Ramona Royale is a sexy, powerful actress who often visits the hotel.
Chloe Sevigny: Alex is a doctor and wife of Detective John Lowell (Bentley). She’s also a mother and will be dealing with a substantial loss in her family.
Is there a reason why the Hotel men all look so similar?
Wes Bentley: "[Detective John Lowell is] investigating some grisly murders, which somehow leads [him] to checking into the hotel." Lowell is a married man also suffering from a great family loss.
Max Greenfield: An addict like Sally. "I think he's lost 30 pounds [for his role]," Murphy said of Greenfield. "Yesterday I talked to him [and] his waist is down to a 27, so he's really committed to it and he looks amazing." Murphy also added Greenfield's character is the center of "the most disturbing scene" they have done this season.
Lily Rabe: "She's playing Aileen Wuornos, which is really fun and bizarre," Murphy revealed. Wuornos was a real-life serial killer who killed seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Charlize Theron, under a lot of makeup, played Wuornos in the 2003 movie Monster, so it will be very interesting to watch Rabe's take on the character. Wuornos will be the centerpiece of the two-part Halloween special.
Rabe (left) will play Wuornos (right) on AHS: Hotel.
Evan Peters: Murphy hasn't revealed anything about Peters' character, except that he "will be waiting in room 64." I would be happy not to leave this room ever again.
Emma Roberts: No details on her character, but she’s expected to appear in the final episodes.
Cheyenne Jackson: Will Drake, a fashion icon and father who lives in the hotel. "He's coming in and he's definitely kind of taking control of things, moving people out of their rooms and making room for his own fashion empire."
Murphy promises this season "harkens back to the first season (Murder House) and is much more rooted in the honest, primal fears that the first season was." Falchuk adds "while (...) the first season trapped you in that house, the second season (Asylum) was very oppressive in the asylum; [in season five] the horror is sneaking out of the hotel."
Fans will also find out on episode six or seven how Hotel is connected to past seasons of the series.
