"We've got the podcast, and you've got the ears." This week our hosts continue digging into the slasher genre with 1985's A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, the black sheep of the Nightmare franchise. Originally dismissed for not following the format established by fan-favorite part 3, it has since been looked at with new eyes for its... less than subtle... subtext exploring teenage homosexuality. But does that mean it holds up as a film?
Be sure to check out Mark Patton's documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street as well as the segment in Crystal Lake Memories for lots of crazy details in the making of this film.
Midnight Murderama
Welcome to the eighth circle of podcast hell. This is Midnight Murderama, the weekly podcast where I, Jamie, resident undead expert, and my two friends, JT and Russell, take a deep, lonely dive into the dark recesses of Hollywood.
Join us as we meticulously research, argue over, and finally rate and review the most horrific and terrifying films ever made — with the ultimate goal to hilariously examine exactly what it is about ourselves that makes us love the horror movies that define us, and to determine which of these legendaries films deserve a place in the pantheon of horror, blasted onto the twisted face of Mount Murdermore.
