Rue Morgue and Queer Fear screen ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street 2’ to celebrate Pride and recognize the film’s cultural significance

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Rue Morgue Queer Fear Movie Poster

With the immediate success of the ground-breaking 1984 horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street, it was not long before parent company New Line Cinema immediately began plans for a sequel. While they may have been the parent company, the father of Freddy-fright himself, the late legendary writer/director Wes Craven, chose not to participate in the production after reading the script by David Chaskin. The directing reins fell to Jack Sholder (Alone in the Dark, Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies) who brought about an ambiguous approach to the narrative. Rushed into production and opening on November 1, 1985, on an estimated budget of only $3 million, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge was met with mixed to negative reviews despite the mass blitz of hype going into it, including the famous FANGORIA Magazine 50th Issue cover.

What if the ‘Elm Street’ Kids Had Facebook?

October 9, 2016 by Brandon Gentry 14 Comments
What if the Nightmare on Elm Street Kids Had Been on Facebook?

I often think about how things might have been different if we had the internet and social media back in the day. But what if the teenagers in one of the most iconic horror movies of all time had social media?” What if the Nightmare on Elm Street kids had Facebook? What would that be like for Freddy Krueger’s Elm Street children? Here’s a look at the Elm Street Kids’ Facebook timeline — a modernization — taking place in 2016 Springwood, Ohio as their nightmares about the Springwood Slasher unfold.

Episode #51 – Horrorhound Recap & James’ Drunken Send-off

September 19, 2013 by Chad Butrum No Comments
Chad and James with Robert Englund

Well it’s that time of year again. That’s right, we got totally wrecked, bent, blitzed, blinded and trashed with all our old (and some new) friends at Horrorhound Weekend Indianapolis! We’ve got the recap in this episode.

Also we are celebrating the sendoff of my co-host, cohort, James Dunn, as he is fulfilling a lifelong dream of making movie monsters. If you listened last episode, we announced that James has been accepted to the Tom Savini Special FX Makeup Program — of course we’re getting drunk in his honor.

We wish James the best, but this doesn’t mean the end of 40oz. Of Horror… oh no! James will just be on remote from Pittsburgh while learning from the master. This can only mean bigger and better for the 40oz. Nation.

So raise your glass, bottle or can because James, we salute you. Drink up!

The Legendary Robert Englund Will Star in SyFy Original Lake Placid: The Final Chapter

August 27, 2012 by Brandon Gentry No Comments

NEW YORK – August 27, 2012 – Horror legend Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger/Nightmare on Elm Street) will star as the latest member of the “Bickerman Family” in the Original Movie Lake Placid: The Final Chapter, premiering Saturday, September 29 at 9PM (ET/PT) on “The Most Dangerous Night on Television.”

Following Betty White, Cloris Leachman, and Colin Ferguson — who were all part of the Bickerman clan in previous Lake Placid movies — Englund will play Jim Bickerman, a poacher looking to score a big break on hides and eggs from those rare crocs in Black Lake.

In Lake Placid: The Final Chapter, which will co-star Elisabeth Rohm (Law and Order) and Yancy Butler (Kick-Ass), attempts to contain the giant crocs fail and now it’s up to the new Sheriff (Rohm) to stop the latest rampage.

On Saturday, September 15 at 7PM, Syfy will present a fantasy double feature beginning with Aladdin and the Death Lamp, starring Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica) battling an evil genie trying to take over the world. Following at 9PM will be Pegasus vs Chimera, a tale of good versus evil featuring Sebastian Roche (Fringe).
