He may not have appeared as a very nice person on screen but David Hess was loved by the people he worked with throughout his career. Most notable to the world of film as Krug, the sadistic villain of Wes Craven’s 1972 film THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, David Hess died yesterday at the age of 69.
What may surprise many is that the horror legend left a legacy that also featured writing hits for the likes Elvis Presley and Pat Boone through the 1950’s and 60’s, while himself having a successful music career in folk.
His last starring role was as a demented film director in last years SMASH CUT opposite Sasha Grey.
