Podcasts about new nightmare

In this month's audio commentary, Ryan watches and analyzes "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." This heralded 1994 project is widely viewed as Craven's prologue to his signature exploration of meta, the film industry, and art vs. reality in the "Scream" trilogy in the latter part of the decade. Join Ryan for a discussion about one of Wes Craven's smartest, most high-brow, and incredibly personal films of his career, either while watching the film along or listening like any other episode. To open the podcast, Jen joins Ryan to introduce the topic and reflect on the entire "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise and the connections between "New Nightmare" and the Hollywood-set "Scream 3."

In this episode, the central conversation analyzes the directing of SCREAM 7 by Kevin Williamson between Ryan and podcast superstar, Cory Wilson. We take a look at Kevin's point of view, the influence of 1970s slashers, and how he innovates the SCREAM franchise with the seventh movie as the filmmaker. In addition, Amar Karim joins Ryan to reflect on Wes Craven and "New Nightmare" and for Amar's take on the fallout of Melissa Barrera's Variety interview where she spread conspiracy theories. Also, Ryan discusses the '30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions' Interview for Patreon members that was announced last week.  '30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions' Interview Remembering Wes Craven and 'New Nightmare' Amar's Disappointment with Melissa Barrera  Cory's Take on Scream 7 Kevin Williamson's Directing Follow us @ScreamWithRCS at Facebook, X, and Instagram.

This week, we're talking about some meta monsters. First up, we take a trip back to Elm Street, sort of, in WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE. Then, Willam Dafoe gets ultra creepy as real-life vampire Max Shrek in SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE.

Closing out the mainline franchise in style…but is it as good as we remember?

As soon as I arrived at Crypticon Seattle, I made a beeline to the celebrity meet and greet room, knowing that Nathan Baesel was going to be in attendance. This event is the flagship horror community gathering in the Pacific Northwest. I didn’t know whether I’d get the chance to interview the actor who played one of my all-time favorite slasher villains, Leslie Vernon. The lines for these meet-and-greets can get long, and I might not have enough time for an interview. This day, luck was on my side. It’s the twenty-year anniversary of the cult classic meta-slasher film Behind the Mask: The Legend of Leslie Vernon. Not only did I get the opportunity, but I also discovered that The Scariest Things could do our part to help evangelize by getting the word out about the just-announced sequel, Behind The Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon. For those of you unfamiliar with the movie, it is one of the great meta-horror movies in the slasher genre. It stands side by side with Scream, The Final Girls, and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare as a gold standard of meta-horror. Like those peer films, it uses wit and familiarity with slasher film tropes. It winks and nudges, and then gets SERIOUS. The movie also emerged at the dawn of the found-footage horror film. It uses the verisimilitude of the documentary crew following the actions of a serial killer, convinced that by playing to Leslie’s ego, the film crew was immune from his depradations. They couldn’t have been more wrong. And yet, he let them in on all his secrets. It’s an absolute must-watch for fans of knife-wielding maniac movies. For more insight on Leslie Vernon, The Scariest Things previously discussed this film in podcast Episodes 199: Mockumentaries and 130: Masked Killers. The Big Announcement: Time has been kind to Nathan, as he has kept up with his cardio… an important factor for a hard-working serial killer. He is all set to put the mask back on. Now it’s time to get the band back together. Scott Glosserman returns to direct the film, and David Stieve is back to write the screenplay. Nathan will be joined by our final girl, Angela Goethals (Taylor Gentry), returning to do battle with Leslie. The legendary Robert Englund (Doc Halloran) is back to train her. The closing moments of the first movie suggested that a good serial killer is hard to kill. It just took 20 years to get him back on screen! Click here for the movie’s Kickstarter Campaign. It is being scheduled for release in 2027. There are some awesome exclusive add-ons, including a replica Leslie Vernon Mask, a trip to the shoot, a scythe prop, advance cast and crew screenings (That means if you wanted to meet Robert Englund… here’s your chance!), and all the way up to getting a chance to be killed on screen by Leslie in the movie! I mean, come on… how cool is that? They’ve already unlocked a couple of the stretch goals. The next big one ($300,000) is for a new horror icon cameo. Such is the joy of Kickstarter! From my perspective, I’m really hoping they hit the “More Shooting Time” Stretch goal ($500,000). That can mean the world to production quality. Do it! Contribute! The power of the Scariest Things compels you! C’mon, you know you want a T-shirt. It’s for a good horror cause. The Interview with Nathan Baesel: As noted before, I got lucky. Nathan had a free moment, and he was very generous with his time. Needless to say, I got a huge kick out of this chat. Check out my interview with him in this player link: A Message Straight from Nathan: In addition to the interview, he was eager to make a Kickstarter pitch.

Freddy is back, but this isn't any old regular (degular) Freddy! We rank root beers, talk morgue rules, and Freddy's leather pants as we stay up for "Wes Craven's New Nightmare"!

Det var ungefär sex år sedan vi körde det senaste avsnittet i vårt långt gångna Elm Street-tema och nu är det dags igen! Ja, ni hörde faktiskt rätt! Jag vet att alla våra lyssnare har väntat och väntat och vi har hört era böner. Så därför kör vi den här veckan den kanske allra mest originella filmen i hela följetången, nämligen meta-skräckisen "New Nightmare", vilket även är Wes Craven's återkomst till karaktären han en gång skapade.   Vi ber om ursäkt att det har dröjt och hoppas det inte skall leda till några mardrömmar!   Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994): "Det är snart 10-årsjubileum för filmen "Terror på Elm Street" och en av stjärnorna, Heather Langenkamp, blir skrämd av en röst i telefonen som låter väldigt lik filmens skurk, Freddy Krueger. När Heathers man dödas i en bilolycka börjar Heather fundera. Speciellt när hon upptäcker att Wes Craven håller på att skriva en ny film. Snart inser hon att Freddy nu har tagit sig in i den verkliga världen, och att det enda sättet att besegra honom är att bli Nancy Thompson igen."   Superlänk till våra plattformar: http://linktr.ee/filmsmakarna   #WesCravensNewNightmare #WesCraven #RobertEnglund #HeatherLangenkamp #FreddyKrueger

In this episode Don, John, and guest Elyse descend into the twisted reality of Wes Craven's New Nightmare—where the line between movie and nightmare disappears completely. What happens when Freddy isn't just a character… but something far more ancient, far more real? The crew unpacks the film's chilling meta concept, Heather Langenkamp playing herself, and Freddy's darker, more sinister evolution. From the emotional core of Dylan and Nancy to the idea that storytelling itself can contain evil, this episode dives deep into what makes New Nightmare one of the most unique—and unsettling—entries in horror history. Expect behind-the-scenes secrets, franchise rankings, fierce debates, and a few laughs… before the terror sets in. Because this time… you're not just watching the nightmare...You're in it.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we are hitting the "lucky number seven" of two of the greatest slasher sagas in history! We are comparing two of the most daring entries in their respective franchises: the telekinetic showdown Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) and the groundbreaking meta-masterpiece Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994). It's a clash between the ultimate supernatural slasher and the movie that dared to break the fourth wall before "meta" was a household word. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) Directed by John Carl Buechler, The New Blood is often cited by fans as the "Jason vs. Carrie" installment. This is the monumental debut of Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees, bringing a newfound physical intensity and rage to the role that defined the character for the next decade. The story follows Tina Shepard, a girl with telekinetic powers who accidentally resurrects Jason from the bottom of Crystal Lake while trying to bring back her deceased father. With a massive psychic showdown and some of the franchise's most brutal practical kills—including the iconic sleeping bag moment—this entry turned Jason into a force of nature that literally required a supernatural match-up to stop. Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) Directed by Wes Craven himself, New Nightmare took the franchise to an entirely new dimension. Abandoning the continuity of the previous films, this entry takes place in the "real world," where actress Heather Langenkamp (playing herself) is stalked by a darker, more terrifying entity that has taken the form of Freddy Krueger. As Freddy begins to bleed into reality, terrorizing the cast and crew of the Nightmare films, the movie deconstructs the entire slasher genre. It's a brilliant, psychological horror film that explores the burden of fame, the danger of archetypes, and what happens when the monster you created decides to come for its creator. Join us as we analyze how these seventh installments reinvented their monsters. We'll discuss the visceral, heavy-metal spectacle of Kane Hodder's first outing as Jason versus the high-concept, cerebral terror of Wes Craven's meta-commentary. Spoilers start around 7:21.

De elfde aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. Elf is het zotte getal, dus dit belooft een zotte aflevering te worden. We zaten ook al even en hebben ook al een fles op. We kijken nog even terug op onze 1 april grap op YouTube. We hebben daar ook al bijna 1000 abonnees mede dankzij onze best lopende aflevering over ‘Hard Hunted'. Uiteraard is ook Marino weer met een sonnet en toeval bestaat niet volgens JP, maar dit was wel heel toevallig. William bespreekt de film ‘Manhunter' uit 1986, die hij nog niet eerder heeft gezien. JP bespreekt de film ‘Cold Storage' die misschien wel onterecht onder de radar bleef. We doen iets zot met onze rubriek ‘Uit De Kast' en William haalt iets ‘Uit De Tas' namelijk een VHS-band die JP heeft gewonnen tijdens ons Minipraatje over de Oscars. In onze Special sluiten we de ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street' franchise af en bespreken we het zevende deel ‘Wes Craven's New Nightmare' en geven we ook nog onze ranking voor de gehele franchise en uiteraard beantwoorden we ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. films over podcasts, Tweede Wereldoorlogfilms, de Wilhelm Scream, favoriete films van Koning Willem-Alexander en onze eerste onscreen crashes.

From Nightmare to Fan Fame: Heather Langenkamp's Hollywood Journey In this captivating episode of Reza Rifts, Keith sits down with one of horror cinema's most beloved and enduring icons Heather Langenkamp, the actress who gave the world Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Far more than a trip down horror memory lane, this conversation is a genuine, wide-ranging exploration of what it means to build a life in Hollywood  from the grueling audition grind to the unexpected emotional weight of fame. Heather opens up about being cast by Wes Craven while still a student at Stanford University, what it was like to work alongside legends like Robert Englund, and how the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise became something far bigger and more meaningful than anyone could have predicted in 1984.  The conversation digs deep into the evolution of horror fandom how audiences have transformed from passive moviegoers into passionate, lifelong communities  and why Freddy Krueger resonates so deeply as a metaphor for the personal demons we all carry.  Heather also reflects on her I Am Nancy documentary, navigating career challenges as a woman in Hollywood, the surprising world of practical special effects through her company AFX Studio, and what she wishes she could tell her younger self.  Warm, funny, and full of genuine wisdom, this is the kind of conversation that reminds you why you fell in love with movies in the first place. Guest Bio Heather Langenkamp (born July 17, 1964, Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American actress, filmmaker, businesswoman, and radio personality whose career has spanned more than four decades. A Stanford University student when she first auditioned for Wes Craven, Heather beat out over 200 actresses to land the role of Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)  a performance that would make her one of the most recognizable faces in horror history. Notable Works: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) — Nancy Thompson A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) — Nancy Thompson Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) — Herself Just the Ten of Us (1988–1990) — TV Sitcom American Horror Story: Freak Show (2014) The Midnight Club (2022) — Mike Flanagan's Netflix series I Am Nancy (2011) — Executive Producer & Star The Life of Chuck (2025) Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010) Co-Founder, AFX Studio (practical special effects) Follow Heather:

Episode 308: Scream 7. Setting a franchise record for biggest opening weekend and featuring the return of not only Neve Campbell as Sidney but also of writer/director Kevin Williamson, Scream 7 arrives with great expectation only two years after the controversial abandonment of the Scream reboot trilogy, begun in 2022. Can the reunion of Campbell and Williamson kickstart this franchise once again or is it time to give up the ghost? Plus, Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) and In the Mouth of Madness (1994). 

Este fue un podcast doloroso pero feliz. Doloroso porque es una despedida al gran narrador que fue Rob Reiner, que nos dejó de manera trágica y repentina. Y feliz porque hablamos de una de las rachas más impresionantes de la historia de Hollywood: This is Spinal Tap (1984), Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally (1989), Misery (1990) y A Few Good Men (1992). Para ello Hermes initó a la antropóloga y académica María Paz Peirano (tal vez la recuerde de podcasts como el KruegerCast de Wes Craven's New Nightmare) y nos dedicamos a celebrar todas estas películas que tienen al menos dos cosas en común. Uno, son todas de Rob Reiner y dos, son todas más buenas que el pan. Y recuerde que en www.patreon.com/hermeselsabio puede escuchar podcasts exclusivos, pre-estrenos, taller de cine y más.

Today on Too Opinionated we visit with actor W. Earl Brown.  Wes Craven was an early supporter, casting Earl in New Nightmare, A Vampire in Brooklyn and the role of "Kenny" in the classic, Scream. Two years after the success of Scream, Earl played "Warren", Cameron Diaz's mentally challenged brother, in There's Something About Mary. Among his many other film credits are the highly regarded films: Being John Malkovich, The Master, The Sessions , Wild , Black Mass, and the Netflix hits - The Highwaymen and The Unforgivable. On television, Earl has guest starred in many series, including: The Mandalorian, Luck, Seinfeld, Hacks, Yellowstone, American Horror Story, Justified, X-Files, Six Feet Under, and NYPD Blue. Among the TV movies he has been involved with, was the starring role in VH1's Meatloaf: To Hell and Back. He played "Tom Carlin" in ABC's highly acclaimed anthology series American Crime (2015) and "Teague Dixon" in HBO's True Detective. He is probably best known as "Dan Dority" in HBO's Deadwood. During that series' second season, the show's creator, David Milch, invited him to join the writing staff. In 2007, Earl earned a WGA nomination for writing on a drama series and a SAG nomination for best drama ensemble acting. Establishing himself on a show as critically lauded as Deadwood opened doors for other writing projects, including the Sony release, Bloodworth, which Earl wrote and produced. Earl can currently be seen as Wes Fox on Sheriff Country. In addition to his television and film work, Earl co-starred in Sony's The Last Of Us, 2013 Video Game Of The Year. He also writes music and records with Sacred Cowboys, an LA based Americana band. In 2018, he combined his love of music and film by co-creating the short film, Dad Band, which racked up 1.3 million views on YouTube.

Este capítulo le clava sus garras a la séptima película de la saga Krueger: Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), que es cuando Wes Craven volvió para resucitar a la creación que no tocaba desde la original. Como es de esperarse, Craven viene sin muchas ganas de repetirse, por lo que empieza a jugar a otra cosa. Fascinante. Mi invitada para este capítulo es la antropóloga/investigadora/académica María Paz Peirano que se lanzó con todo al kruegerismo.

BT and Sal go scorched-earth on the Knicks' rough start, debating whether the biggest problem is new head coach "Mike Clown" or perceived soft superstar Karl-Anthony Towns. Sal blasts coach Mike Brown for being a "clown" who's too focused on being loved and not a true taskmaster, leading to a disorganized offense. BT argues the real issue is Towns, calling him a "little puppy" lacking the competitive fire of a true superstar, incapable of leading the team to a championship with his sloppy, soft, and inconsistent play. The hosts agree that the Knicks' title hopes are already dead if Towns remains their second star.

This week we return to Elm Street to do battle with Freddy Krueger once more but this time in the real world with the real actors of the film in New Nightmare. Journey with us as we discuss this wild slasher revival that brings Wes Craven back into the fold as writer/director and a story that blurs the lines with film and reality. Is this the jumpstart the franchise needs or is this meta idea too ridiculous for its own good? So pour some rye, get your T-Rex stuffed animal, and don't forget to read the script. Cheers!

All these years later, we know FREDDY'S DEAD was far from the “final nightmare”. Freddy went on to fight Jason Voorhees, be meta in New Nightmare, and get a grim makeover in 2010. But word on the street is Rachel Talalay's Elm Street entry was meant to be the end of Freddy at the time. Does that context make it a better or worse movie? And can we ever come to terms with the darkness and campiness fighting to co-exist in this franchise?TIMELINE00:01:26 NES00:02:10 Feedback!00:09:20 Real Talk00:56:20 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

Before Scream made meta-horror mainstream, Wes Craven created something truly unique: a horror film where the actors played themselves, filmed in the real New Line Cinema offices, exploring what happens when fictional evil breaks into reality.Freddy Krueger had officially died in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare in 1991, and from 1984 his character had evolved from terrifying villain to quipping and comedic, and New Line Cinema had already started merchandising the character. Realizing that maybe they had killed Freddy too soon, New Line wanted a way to resurrect him without actually resurrecting him. There was always something deeply unnerving about putting Krueger on a pedestal, and no-one thought it more than his original creator, Wes Craven… Wes Craven's New Nightmare cleverly blurs the line between fiction and reality, creating a unique meta-narrative, starring original final girl Heather Langenkamp as herself, focusing on her journey from horror star to mother and how that reflects the personal impact of the franchise on her fictional life. Craven specifically wanted to focus on how horror movies affect children, showcasing the blurred boundaries between protection and temptation. Despite its initial box office struggles, New Nightmare has gained a cult following, mostly in the wake of Wes Craven's next project, Scream, which took what New Nightmare had attempted and refined it. Wes Craven said that Scream was a movie for people who watch horror movies, and New Nightmare was a movie for people who make horror movies. Scream is credited for refreshing the slasher, but we all know New Nightmare is Wes Craven's real life meta masterpiece.I would love to hear your thoughts on Wes Craven's New Nightmare !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Subscribe to Does It Fly? Pod: https://www.youtube.com/@doesitflypod?sub_confirmation=1On DOES IT FLY?, we explore the science and story logic behind your favorite pop culture topics. Today, we're asking: if you die in your dreams, will you die in real life, like we see in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies?“Welcome to prime time…”Freddy Krueger“One, two, Freddy's coming for you…three, four, better lock the door…five, six, grab your crucifix…seven, eight, better stay up late.” For some of us, horribly scarred by R-rated horror movies in heavy rotation on HBO as kids, this little nursery rhyme first heard in A Nightmare on Elm Street was about as well known as the Pledge of Allegiance. It's a simple, memorable admonition to not fall asleep lest serial killer Freddy Krueger visit you in your dreams to make sure you won't wake up that held considerable power over our imaginations. But it's also so much more.A Nightmare on Elm Street, as well as its parade of sequels (of…varying quality, but we'll get to that) taps into a certain primal fear of the unknown. Sleep is one of the little deaths in our life. We surrender ourselves to forces we don't truly understand, where we then are bombarded with symbolic narratives as our brains keep firing while our bodies rest. The simple question of “if I go to sleep, what if I don't wake up?” is one that every child has asked their parents. And there's that long standing urban legend that if you die in your dream, well, your real life body will follow.Is there any truth to that? If you die in your dreams, will you ACTUALLY die in real life? And what about the actual science of dreams and sleep? And how the heck did Wes Craven and friends weave it all together to create one of the most compelling horror stories of all time?Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? to find out! And…let's hope we don't put you to sleep. Put some coffee on or something, geez!https://youtu.be/h0A0QX0nH0cFURTHER VIEWINGVirtually everything we cover in terms of the dream logic of Freddy Krueger and this franchise can be found in Wes Craven's original A Nightmare on Elm Street, a true classic of ‘80s horror and one of the most influential films of its kind of all time!And yes, the rest of the franchise is kind of hit and miss, but they're all entertaining as hell. If you ONLY watch one of the sequels, check out A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, which is generally beloved and the best of the bunch. But for you Scream fans (another Wes Craven masterpiece), you might also want to give Wes Craven's New Nightmare a look, as it's almost the prototype for Scream!And if all that is old (and ratty) hat to you, maybe it's time to check out the brilliant Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy documentary.FURTHER READINGDo you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! A Quick Overview of SleepNot just the different stages of sleep, but a breakdown of what can go wrong during them, can be found here!Night TerrorsWhile that sounds like it could be a movie title, it's an actual scientific term, and these ain't your average nightmare! But those can lead to…Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death SyndromeAnd while this one sounds like a really awful band name, it is one of the cruxes of the fear of dying in your dreams.Lucid DreamingIf you want to actual kick Freddy's ass while you sleep, then you'd better master the art of lucid dreaming! Here's how.Men, Women, and ChainsawsTamara cites this important work on the role of gender in the horror genre and you should check it out, too!Freddy Lives!Want more behind the scenes details on the franchise?

Forgotten Horror 7 kicks off with "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" (1994), the meta slasher that dared to blur the lines between fiction and reality.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field appreciate some of the ideas here—bringing Freddy Krueger into the “real” world, playing with Heather Langenkamp as herself, and giving Wes Craven and Robert Englund roles in their own nightmare. But as the Mikes discuss, the film doesn't quite go far enough with its meta concept. Instead, it feels like wasted potential: not enough scares, not enough exploration of Craven himself, and too few moments where the horror fully delivers.The Mikes also take a detour into the world of slashers at large, debating who their favorite killers are and where Freddy stands in the pantheon of horror icons.So sharpen your claws, flip the script, and join Forgotten Cinema as Forgotten Horror 7 gets underway!Who's your favorite classic horror film slasher?
