Freddy Krueger haunts your dreams — and this October, he's haunting our podcast. We're kicking off a full month of A Nightmare on Elm Street movies with Wes Craven's 1984 original.
This week on So Many Sequels: Garrett's Blockbuster-kid origin story with slashers, David's first-ever watch, a $1 million budget that turned into $57 million worldwide, Tulsa's own Heather Langenkamp as the final girl who fights back, the "old man writing what teenagers say" dialogue, David's modest proposal that Freddy get two claw hands, the ending nobody can agree was a dream, Letterboxd reviews, and a score game Josh wins by a tenth of a point.
