CNN recently released a nice piece on how horror's elder statesmen are making a return. The piece provides two brief pages each on Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, John Landis and George Romero, as well as a short video in which each speaks about the genre. In a day where generally poor remakes stilfe any sense of creativity and cheapie direct-to-dvd releases offer low-budget, derivative drivel, it's nice to see a news organization as large as CNN give props to the men who paved the way.
Read the full article here, and check out the video of Romero, courtesy CNN, below.
