For Halloween night this year, Triskel Arts Centre presents a tribute to director Wes Craven by screening three of his most pivotal films: THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977), A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) and SCREAM (1996).

To coincide with this event, we present a special one off podcast episode with Triskel’s Head of Cinema Chris O’Neill chatting with Supporting Characters podcast host, film historian and fellow Wes Craven enthusiast Bill Ackerman about the director’s filmography, with a particular focus on the three movies being screened at Triskel.
