Ep 67: "A Nightmare on Elm Street" Revisited

“One, two, Freddy’s coming for you,” begins one of the more frightening jingles of the 1980s.<br />“A Nightmare on Elm Street” was a sleeper hit in 1984. Made for under 2 millions dollars, the<br />horror movie scared up over 50 million thanks to its novel concept: a literal dream killer.<br />America’s scary intro to Freddy Krueger also features a drunk mom, gallons of fake blood, and a<br />supporting turn from Johnny Depp. Years later, can the original still spook our cynical<br />sensibilities? Is Nancy the world’s fastest boobytrap builder? And why did Freddy put his name<br />in his hat? The Old Roommates pop some Vivarin and discuss.
