Best known for his hugely successful horror franchises A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, Wes Craven has passed away, losing a battle with brain cancer.

Horror fans will know Craven from his earlier work, the polarizing The Last House on the Left and the road trip from hell The Hills Have Eyes, before he hit box office gold with the creation of Freddy Kruger and the Nightmare films.

His impact on the horror genre was huge and his loss will be felt by many.

RIP Wes Craven. You will be missed.
