In honor of David Hess’ recent passing we are re-posting Geo’s write-up on the 1972 trash classic – Last House On The Left. We’ve added Streebo’s recent video tribute to Mr. Hess at the bottom.
David Hess 1942 - 2011 R.I.P.
On this week’s Classics Corner, we’re going to feature Wes Craven’s “Last House on the Left.” This film was released in 1972 and stars Sandra Peabody, Lucy Grantham, David Hess, Fred J. Lincoln, Jeramie Rain, Marc Sheffler, Richard Towers and Cynthia Carr. The official synopsis is “A pair of teenage girls are headed to a rock concert for one’s birthday. While trying to score marijuana in the city, the girls are kidnapped by a gang of psychotic convicts.” See kids…that’s what happens when you try to get drugs!
(Get more than you bargained for after the leap!)

Wes Craven on being a filmmaker
An extra from the Nightmare on Elm Street boxset from about 7 or 8 years ago. Just a quick blurb from Wes Craven on being a filmmaker, and an artist.
Streebo recently made the trip to the historic Carolina Theatre in Durham to see Wes Craven’s Last House On The Left in 35mm. In this video he shares his thoughts on David Hess and on the rape/revenge sub-genre in particular.
