Fright maven Wes Craven to direct again

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Horror icon Wes Craven will reportedly take the director's chair again for an unnamed chiller for Rogue Pictures.

Daily Variety reported that the film will be more of a supernatural ghost movie rather than a film of the "slasher" genre that Craven helped launch with "Nightmare on Elm Street."

Craven said he had actually not directed an original film since 1994, a fact he found "appalling to me."

The Web site IGN Filmforce said Craven would work for Rogue Pictures through a newly formed production company called Midnight Pictures, which will develop horror films with a budget of less than $15 million.
