Matt and Zac are back at it with Season 01 Episode 04 talking all about the Guro of Gore, the Master of Horror, the Sultan of Shock and … Professor Emeritus from Clarkson University? In this episode we’ll dive into the connection between horror film icon Wes Craven and the little college town of Potsdam, New York. If you grew up watching gory horror flicks like A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes or Scream then you are already well aware and familiar with one Wesley Earl Craven. Wes, as we locals like to call him, kicked off his directorial career with 1972’s The Last House on the Left. Despite hoping to dodge the spotlight and keep his filmmaking a hobby, second to his career as a professor, the jarring film quickly became a hit amongst the country's edgier college crowd and grossed $3 million despite its modest $90k budget. The film, now a venerated cult classic, was billed with the tagline “Can a movie go too far?” and the posters gave content warnings and tips on how not to faint while viewing the scenes of intense gore, sexual violence and morbid humiliation. This film garnered additional criticism due to the intersecting scenes of janky comedy. This crossroads of graphic, in-your-face horror, social commentary and slapstick comedy went on to be a trademark of the Craven style of filmmaking.
