  • 🐐 In celebration of Wes Craven's birthday, we are revisiting his seminal horror classic! In this episode we will discuss the director's lasting legacy, Freddy Krueger as the ultimate boogeyman, talk about why Nancy Thompson is one of the most influential final girls there is, Eddie will regale us with the time he randomly met two of the film's stars, and of course, we'll also choose which character we think was most deserving to die.

    Krueger's weapon is actually the most tactical of any slasher. It's a part of his body basically. He has perfect control unlike a knife or other weapon that can be knocked out of your hand or wielded wrong.

      I loves Eddie's story about meeting some of the cast of nightmare on elm Street! Personally I would have been too embarrassed to bother them. I don't knkw why but I just instantly think they've probably had to meet thousands of fans down the years in so many different places asking rhe same questions ect it must drive them mad so stay quiet 🤣

    I can actually see the David Warner, Freddy being creepier because he would be more restrained. Imagine that cutting off the fingers scene more restrained. There's something creepy about it. I mean Englund is Freddy don't get me wrong but it's a chilling image.

  • @philgood8089

    i'm def on board with a revamping of the NOES story, EXCEPT including the later sequels as canonical. i'd actually spoken with an editor of DC comics a decade ago with a pitch for a series of comics that coincided with the first film, filling in the blanks and backstories with what i'd learned from deleted scenes and interviews i'd read and watched in the last 40 years of my love of the first film.
    I WASN'T TOLD NO!!! lol
    however, the editor, Bob Wayne (yes, really), wasn't able to greelight anything, personally, but gave me a handful of names which ultimately led nowhere... but, i still have my scripts, concept art/storyboards, and will FOREVER have the vision of fleshing out the lore in THE most faithful way possible.
    as a kid, i enjoyed the evolution of Krueger into a cartoon character (save for the traumatic moment of Nancy's death in Dream Warriors), but i ALWAYS wanted to return him to the absolute monster given free reign in the dream realm.

    About the movie's ending - I am still confused how to to interpret it.
    But I am leaning more into theory Freddy's still there, Nancy fall a sleep, and Freddy was killed only in a real world, not in general...
    As Zack mentioned, Cravne blured the lines between reality and dreams very well, but the very ending has to be dream!
    Of course sequles f*ck such interpreation up (possibility of bad ending, and Nancy getting killed off screen once they drove that Freddy car) :)

    I saw this one when it was first released on video at the far too early age of 11. These were the days before Freddy had become an endless parody of himself, and I'm not lying when I say that it was THE most terrifying thing that I had ever seen at that point. I've seen it countless times since and never tire of it. RIP, Wes.❤❤❤❤❤

    john saxon was good in this, i'd still say bruce lee enter the dragon was a more refined character meant for him, he suited that one perfectly. Being a cop dad was kind of like undercutting his true ability to me. I have real history with the freddy movies, they have affected me like no other movie except for blair witch and a couple of others. If you ever want another guest i'm down just let me know. i think it'd be really fun.

    The information about David Warner is not true. Both David Warner and Wes Craven denied that there was ever an offer or interest in David playing Freddy. The photo that is supposed to be David Warner in the Freddy makeup is actually a rejected makeup concept for Robert Englund. David Miller said these things in the "Never sleep again" documentary and clearly he was confused about what project he was working on. They corrected this information in the Never sleep again book that came out after the documentary.

    Probably should do a poll to determine whether the video will gain views.
