The Mass Misunderstanding of "My Soul to Take"
WARNING: This op-ed contains spoilers. I've never had a hard time naming a favorite horror director. Through a decade and a half of expanding my palate and knowledge of horror cinema, it’s the only question that stands unchanged in my indecisive mind. I can’t tell you my favorite Final Girl, favorite special effects artist, or even my all-time favorite subgenre, but I've always been able to answer “so, who's your favorite director?” with a triumphant exclamation of the late, great Wes Craven. Unfortunately for almost everyone who’s asked me this icebreaker, the conversation always seems to sever when we arrive at the dreaded ranking of his films and a completely guiltless guilty pleasure of mine is always put dead last.
