Freddy Krueger

But you don't want

to get stuck in a nightmare, you know, like with Freddy Krueger, you know, like the kids have to find a way out.

Right.

You know, they want to beat the sleep, but you can't beat the sleep.

With, I guess, like a bunch of I-don't-know-who, maybe they're Gen Zers talking about how, you know, Freddie should not be... around, I guess, because he's a child molester and that's bad, which obviously it is.

But, you know, when I wrote this book, I knew I would spend the rest of my life insisting to people that Freddy Krueger was the villain of the Nightmare on Elm Street series.

But now I realize I'm going to have to spend the rest of my life telling them that he is a fictional character, you know, like Ben Affleck and Jay and Silent Bob, fictional characters.

I mean, and I know stupid.

I know this is like an argument like straight out of the 80s.

And I know people had it a little bit in the 80s because of the merchandising and all that.

And like, maybe we can have a conversation about like not having kid costumes for Freddy Krueger.

I guess that makes sense.

But you know what, Jamie? I bet you he's so fun to talk to because he's one of those actors that will just talk to you about, like, his career.

Like, he reminds me of Robert Englund, who plays Freddy, Freddy Krueger.

Robert Englund is the type of actor I see him in these interviews and like at conventions all the time where he will just start talking about his career and what was like working with this actor or on this film set or whatever.

I feel like James Marsters is the same exact way.

Dustin, I think, suggests that, like...

he kind of that you might have actually been inside vecna's mind yes because it didn't seem to it seemed max was like it seems as though he didn't want me to be seeing it like it was he was surprised that i was there um the other thing that i wrote down in this scene that i was like oh dan's gonna like this is that they call him freddy krueger i know i

was like

i was right

So I was like, oh my gosh, yes.

And then I just happened to see a picture because I've never seen those movies.

But I just happened to like see a picture of Freddy Krueger somewhere.

And I was like, oh, he looks exactly the same.

Discman, my man.

Anyway, these Gen Zers currently, the dumbest people on the planet, currently have just now found out the origin of Freddy Krueger and they're trying to cancel him.

Have you heard

about this? I have.

I heard

about it last week or this week, yeah.

Yeah, so they're trying to cancel Freddy Krueger because of his origin.

He is a, was he a high school janitor? No, no, elementary school

want to

cancel Freddy Krueger

who is a fictional character I have seen that and I have feelings about it let me talk about my feelings for a second Freddy Krueger.

So the backstory of Freddy Krueger, the reason why he's Freddy Krueger is he essayed a kid

and the

parents went and burned him alive.

And so all their little girlfriends would come over and we'd have popcorn and do movies or whatever.

And one time we watched all the Friday the 13th movies.

2019, he was on Eli Roth's podcast and he said about Stephen King, he said, quote, the book It, the book It is Stephen King's ripoff of Nightmare on Elm Street.

He just replaces Freddy Krueger with Pennywise.

It's just exactly like he sees Nightmare on Elm Street.

Oh, well, that's good.

Unless she produced this movie.

How is this? What's Freddy Krueger? A++++? I

don't know.

But, you know, it is difficult because obviously there's uh, three different people seeing different movies.

Like, there was a...

Freddy Krueger was in there, I think, but...

There was just some weird looking stuff, you know, they almost look like Cenobites and stuff, you know, Cenobites from Hellraiser.

They had that kind of thing, you know, Cenobites and Nightbreed.
