Nightmare on Elm street
"A highly imaginative horror film that provides the requisite shocks to keep fans of the genre happy"
About the film:
In the dreams of his victims, a spectral child murderer stalks the children of the members of the lynch mob that killed him.
About the cast:
Johnny Depp was another unknown when he was cast; and initially went to accompany a friend so he could audition, yet eventually got the part of Glen. Before Johnny Depp got the role and before Jackie Earle Haley failed to win the role, other actors such as Charlie Sheen, John Cusack, Brad Pitt, Kiefer Sutherland, Nicolas Cage and C. Thomas Howell were considered.
About the story:
Wes Craven began writing A Nightmare on Elm Street's screenplay around 1981. He pitched it to several studios, but each one of them rejected it for different reasons. The first studio to show interest was Walt Disney Pictures, although they wanted Craven to tone down the content to make it suitable for children and pre-teens. Finally, the fledgling and independent New Line Cinema corporation—which had up to that point only distributed films, rather than making its own—gave the project the go-ahead.
Sinister
"An undeniably scary movie.Deeply frightening horror film that takes its obligation to alarm very seriously"
About the film:
A true-crime writer finds a cache of 8mm home movies films that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose career dates back to the 1960s.

About the story:
Writer C. Robert Cargill says that his inspiration for the movie came from a nightmare he experienced after seeing The Ring, in which he discovered a film in his attic depicting the hanging of an entire family. This scenario became the setup for the plot of Sinister.

Scream
"Deftly mixes irony, self-reference and wry social commentary with chills and blood spills"
About the film:
A masked killer begins murdering teenagers in a small town, and as the body count rises, one girl and her friends contemplate the "rules" of horror films as they find themselves living in a real-life one.
The film is created by Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven.
About the cast:
Craven initially intended to hire talented but relatively unknown actors who had not yet had a "big break" in the film industry, as he had done with A Nightmare on Elm Street's Johnny Depp and Shocker's Peter Berg.However, the decision was made to cast actors who already had a notable body of work, marking a change from many previous horror films where casting current, popular actors was unheard of. Drew Barrymore initially approached the production herself after reading the script and was signed to play Sidney Prescott. However as time progressed, her schedule commitments meant she would be unable to remain in the leading role, so she volunteered to play the smaller role of Casey Becker.
