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.

Indianapolis man wore ‘Scream’ mask during robberies

Boo!

Meridian, Miss. police have charged 33-year-old Indianapolis man Jerry Jones with two counts of armed robbery.

During the stickup, Jones (not the owner of the Dallas Cowboys) donned the mask made famous in Wes Craven‘s 90s slasher flick Scream.

How awesome and stupid can one person be? A. If someone came into my store wearing that mask, I’d start shooting — no questions asked. And B. I think horror fans have been expecting something like this for a long time.

Watch out for copycats though… What’s next? Freddy Krueger knocking over 7-11s?

Although I’m sure there were plenty of screams,  no one was slashed in either heist.

David Arquette and Courtney Cox were unavailable for comment at the time of this article.
