A Nightmare On Elm Street - a podcast by Ryan & Bev Ellis

Whatever you do, don’t…fall…asleep. Well, at least stay awake until you've heard the Next 167 Project. Then sleep all you want. We continue our 4th Annual Scary Movie Month and jump to the excellent year of 1984 when Wes Craven wrote & directed one of the landmark horror flicks. Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger is probably the best-known slasher in history and the actor is dynamite in his minimal screen time. Unfortunately, the young actors—including John C. Depp and his leading lady Heather Langenkamp—don’t *ahem* kill it as effectively as their on-screen boogeyman does. Much like Leatherface’s initial foray into teen murder last week, this first in a long-running series isn’t even close to perfect. Still, what a creative idea for how to kill people! So avoid those finger-knives and play our ‘cast about the vicious doings of Fred K.

For The Record: Ryan has seen all of the Nightmare sequels, so peeking at so many of them lately is a re-watch, not a first-time experience. Also, Freddy’s mother was a nun, not a nurse. Also also, the parents might look old, but the actor playing Depp’s father was only in his mid-30s and Ronee Blakley wasn’t quite 40. Also also also, according to The Movies That Made Us on Netflix, Amanda Wyss' last name rhymes with "hiss" not with "peace".

Off for Thanksgiving next week. On October 21st, get your necks clean because we'll be talking about Interview With The Vampire
