Cinema Fearité Presents ‘There’s Nothing Out There’ – The Original Meta Horror Comedy

June 2, 2016 by James Jay Edwards

In 1996, the late, great Wes Craven re-energized the fledgling horror genre with his smart, self-referential classic Scream.  Craven found his inspiration two years earlier when, in 1994, he pulled back the curtain on filmmaking with the A Nightmare on Elm Street sequel/reboot Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.  Both of these movies recognized and reflected upon […]
