The bloodied body of Harding Lovejoy is found in the woods at the Candleberry County Club in upstate New York. Due to a fluke in the property line, Connecticut State Trooper Eli Trucks finds himself in charge of the case.

Writer, producer, and director Wes Craven has successfully tapped into the horror vein for over forty years, serving up scary, funny, cutting-edge thrillers that have become classics in the genre. His films have been both critical and commercial successes, most notably Nightmare on Elm Street, which spawned a series of sequels and made Craven (and his creation, Freddy Kruger) an international sensation. He then created a second indelible series in the horror movie trope with Scream. In Screams & Nightmares, Brian J.
