Midwest Monsters Episode 286 - Generational Horrors : A Nightmare on Elm Street

So tonight's topic is the nightmare on Elm Street.

I believe Venomous One chose this to be the one to kick off this series for us.

We'll come up with a clever name for this topic.

We've got the Monster Mash.

Which

is clever.

Yeah, clever.

No one's ever heard that before.

I still

vote we call it the Monster Mush from here on.

Give it our own brand.

Give it our own brand.

So, yeah, we'll keep workshopping what we'll call this series.

But until then, it's originals and remakes revisited.

So, we're talking about Nightmare on Elm Street.

You're damn right.

Nightmare on Elm Street came out in 1984, written and directed by Wes Craven, starring Robert England, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Ronnie Blakely, with smaller roles, a young Johnny Depp.

You have Charles Flesher, who has one of the more uncomfortable convention meets that I've ever been present for with Hot Toddy.

Lynn Shea also in a small role there, and we have a score from Charles Bernstein.

How old were you guys when you first saw this?

I was probably 10 or older.

I probably didn't see this until the 90s.

I caught a little bit of one of the sequels before that when I knew I wasn't supposed to be watching it because it had the naked girl under the waterbed.

I remember being like, oh, I'm going to be in deep shit.

I shouldn't be seeing this.
