In this episode, I watch Rob Zombie’s follow-up to his 2007 remake. This is the first, last, and only time I will ever watch this terrible movie.

In 1984, writer and director Wes Craven unleashed a new kind of horror on the world. A new kind of killer. One where the only way you can truly be safe - is by staying awake. Little did we know then - but that one film would spawn a franchise that consisted of nine feature films, including a 6-movie series, a reimagining, a reboot, and crossover with another famous killer. There were television shows, video games, and even record albums! This franchise also created an iconic superstar in one Freddy Krueger. For season two of SLASH, I will be watching all nine of the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movies, and who knows - maybe there will be a surprise or two along the way. Please subscribe. Please listen. And for god’s sake please, whatever you do -don’t fall asleep…
