Richard Roeper's Intagram response to the news of Wes Craven's death:

man that sucks... I love Wes Craven
Didn't see that coming.
Being the horror fan that I am, there is not that many movies that actually give me nightmares. The Exorcist is one and A Nightmare on Elm Street is another.
It's said that Alfred Hitchcock scared people out of taking showers. Wes Craven scared people out of falling asleep, a feat that will never be outdone.
Rest in peace sir and thank you for the countless nightmares.

These deaths are hurting me man. Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper, Wes Craven, and now Dean "Motherfucking" Jones aka Jim Douglas.
RIP Dean.

Coming soon, November 10th is the 40th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. It was built where my Dad was born and raised. Every Mitten kid from back then knows the lyrics by heart. R.I.P. I think nobody but Great Lakes residents (all cities surrounding, in U.S. and Canada) truly understand their power and force, often much more powerful than any ocean.

She was one of the best actresses of all time. Well, at least to me.
Look three posts up
Oh wow, and I even looked through the thread to make sure nobody else had posted about it. Maybe I need to stop browsing the net before I've woken up entirely...
Wow.
RIP Scott Weiland
