Max CoughlanHOST
Right.
Dwight H. LittleGUEST
Well, that was because Halloween Forge has come out, and they needed somebody right away to go in.
SydneyHOST

It's called Freddy's Nightmares.

Directed by Mick Garris, who had done "The Stand" and "Sleepwalkers," so had done at least a couple King minis, um, and directed a couple episodes of "Freddy's Nightmares." Um, on the cast side of things, we have Steven Weber, Rebecca De Mornay, Courtland Mead right there behind you as little Danny.
BaileyHOST
Uh-huh.
LoganHOST
Uh, Melvin Van Peebles as Dick Hallorann, Pat Hingle, and Elliott Gould.

He, along with Al Katz, was the creator behind Freddy's Nightmares.

David DenoyerGUEST
You've got three big brains that are very familiar with what the audience is possibly clamoring for, or they could have their wires crossed.
David DenoyerGUEST
But you also have three names that are no strangers to horror.
Mike AshquieHOST
Yeah, like specifically the Gil Adler, like as you mentioned off the top there, you'd spoken with them about their work on Freddy's Nightmares and then subsequently they would do work with Tales from the Crypt.
