Art in Horror - Pt 2 of 3

In Part Two of our series about how fine art and great horror movies go together, Horror.com's Staci Layne Wilson talked to directors Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the upcoming 25/8) and Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and the upcoming rerelease of Eggshells) about the subject. Their reflections on how art has influenced their own films offers a rare glimpse into their deeper processes.

These exclusive interviews took place at a special screening for William Malone's Parasomnia -- the charity event was held in part to benefit the American Cinetheque and to raise awareness for the late Polish surrealist painter, Zdzislaw Beksinski. A short clip from the Masters of Horror Panel discussion follows.
