For fans of Wes Craven: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Wes Craven fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

These picks share what draws fans to Wes Craven's corner of horror: fear that starts somewhere ordinary — a family road trip, a school dance, a childhood bedroom — then refuses to let go. Films, series, games, and books all qualify. The threat is sometimes supernatural, sometimes human, often both. It, Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, Summer of Night — the format and decade change; the dread accumulating in familiar places doesn't.

Frequently asked

What should I watch if I like Wes Craven?

Start with the TV miniseries It (1990) for long-form supernatural dread, or Slasher for a modern small-town slasher series. On film, The Howling and The Hills Have Eyes (2006) share the same trapped-and-hunted intensity.

Are there books for Wes Craven fans?

Summer of Night pits children against small-town evil in a 1960 Illinois setting, while What Moves the Dead delivers Gothic body-horror atmosphere and Ghost Night puts a slasher on a remote film set.

Are there horror games for Wes Craven fans?

Fatal Frame III: The Tormented and Song of Horror both centre on nightmare visions bleeding into waking life — exactly the dream-logic dread this selection was built around. Five Nights at Freddy's 4 brings that dread home, literally, with monsters lurking just outside a child's bedroom door.
