Road To Nowhere: Episode 1 - The Life and Times of Wes Craven

This episode focuses on writer/director Wes Craven before his status as horror maestro. Though the film plays like a nasty, loose-cannon experiment, The Last House On The Left was an incredibly personal script. To gain insight into the state of mind guiding the project, we hear from the man himself through various interviews about this film and horror in general.Mick Garris’s Post Mortem is featured heavily throughout the recording.
