A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

All month long is HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and that means a horror movie discussion every weekday for October. Each weekday represents its own horror sub-category and every Friday is “FRIDAY NIGHT FIENDS”. The creatures, the creeps, the monsters and the fiends get the spotlight at the end of every workweek and today we got an infamous monster that bucked the slow, quiet trend of slashers to get inside our heads and have a little fun. You know him. You love him until you’re reminded that he’s a a pedophile then you have mixed feelings but goddamn if he’s not entertaining. Michael Jackson and Freddy Krueger got a lot in common. Yes, we are discussing the 1984 classic by Wes Craven, “A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET” starring Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon and a baby Johnny Depp. Why is a child serial murderer with knife fingers invading the dreams of the adolescents on Elm street and what do the parents know about it? All killer and no filler in one of the most creative slashers of all time. Always worth a revisit.
