Modern horror wouldn’t be what it is today without Wes Craven. He has made some of the best slasher horror movies of all time, and that helped push the boundaries of the genre. Little did I know, the director from Cleveland, Ohio, created quite a network of stars across these iconic films. For example, Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund used to babysit Drew Barrymore, who would go on to play "Scream’s" doomed Casey Becker, and the story the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" actor told us about this is incredible.
Two of the stars of the 1984 classic, Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund, appeared on CinemaBlend’s podcast, "ReelBlend," to talk about everything Craven-related -- from how he was as a director, theories, sequels, and even other Craven hits, like "Scream." During the conversation, Englund recounted witnessing a meeting between Craven and Barrymore while out to dinner.
