i really thought he had more life in him

it's so sad to see such a great director go

Oh no :(

Oh god. I'm gutted.

omg )))): just wow...RIP

I can't believe this
RIP Wes
Freddy scared me till i was 16

I didn't even know he was sick? What the fuck.

same, wow :(

me neither :(

ditto! I thought I misread the headline at first. I'm shocked :(

yeah same =(

I had no idea either :(

You couldn't get any hint from his twitter.

Not everyone uses twitter, i certainly don't .

Same this was a complete shock.

It seems it was kept quiet by media. Hopefully he had the people important to him there.

Yeah I had no idea :(

Same! And I was just in the Tarantino wanted to direct Scream post. Always breaks my heart when directors die from brain-related illness.

My grandfather was diagnosed and died within 2 months from brain cancer. There are often no symptoms until it is too late.

fuck me thats unexpected. rest in peace craven.

RIP

Whaaaaaaattt? I didnt' even know he was sick :( RIP

Same! :(

I legit gasped and then wailed "noooooooo"

I'm SO SAD. He always seemed like such a genuinely sweet guy.

I noticed that he's been pretty missing form social media lately, but I didn't think anything of it.

Rest in peace :(

I was just watching the still screaming doc this weekend and he seemed so loved by the crew and such a nice man. This is very sad.

RIP Wes. His movies were iconic.

Literally crying right now, this is so unexpected. RIP.

If you like horror movies at all, this really sucks. Wes Craven's impact on the horror genre can't be overstated.

Seriously? Is empathy a rare thing to you?

Go try (and prob fail again) to be edgy somewhere else.

Whoa, he was a whole decade older than John Carpenter? I always thought it was the opposite for some reason.

RIP to Wes. Besides making great horror films, he also seemed like a chill/nice guy.

probably cause Carpenter looks like a skinny santa claus tbh
