Horror auteur Wes Craven has announced his return to making his original horror films, and is currently writing his first writing-directing project since 1994's "New Nightmare."

Craven's new flick will be made with Rogue Pictures, who also joined with him to form a new horror-centric production arm, Midnight Pictures. Midnight already has a project in the works -- the recently announced remake of Craven's 1972 slasher, "The Last House on the Left."

Other flicks being considered for Midnight's slate include remakes of such horror classics as the electric serial killer film, "Shocker" and the heartwarming family tale, "The People under The Stairs" -- both, naturally, originally written and directed by Craven himself.

Craven recently collaborated with his son, Jonathan Craven, in co-writing the script for a new "The Hills Have Eyes II." The sequel to last year's remake of Craven's 1977 original "HHE" (to which Craven previously wrote and directed an original sequel in 1985) is currently being filmed and slated for a March 2007 release.

But back to this new project. According to Variety, Craven's return to writing after twelve years of directing other people's scripts (among them "Vampire In Brooklyn," "Music of the Heart," and "Scream 3") will be a "Sixth Sense"-like supernatural story with a teenage protagonist.

The fright-flick filmmaker did write the script for his short installment in the multi-director anthology, "Paris Je'Taime," but has apparently been itching to return to directing his own works: "It's appalling to me that you have to go back to 1994 to find an original that I wrote and directed, so this is very important to me."
