The Tumbleweed Memories Hall of Shame Entry Number 3

My third addition into the Hall of Shame can thank Alice Cooper, for if I had not drop kicked Cooper into the Hall I would not have recalled my disappointment in you Mr Wes Craven, yes we all know you created Freddy Krueger (and I'm sure Robert Englund thanks you) and that you shocked flea pit cinema goers with your grubby Last House On the Left, but what I will remember you for is selling out like a two dollar whore to become a company bitch for The Weinsteins. Your Scream films are woeful studio examples of horror films (cool TV hip cast, generic teen friendly soundtrack, trendy post modern references) and Cursed (you know, the Scott Baio Werewolf movie) actually made me salt my popcorn with tears of disgust, oh and the little matter of "Presenting" movies such as Wishmaster and Dracula 2000 (If your still waiting for those classics to get admitted into the AFI's list of important pieces of art, I'd probably get a sandwich, it may be some time).
