MONSTER PARTY REVISITS THE ERA OF ROLLERBLADING, BEANIE BABIES, THE MACARENA… AND TERROR!!!! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD honor the last part of a decade that brought us so many seminal films. If you thought our previous '90s HORROR episode was “da bomb,” you're guaranteed to go nuclear when you hear… '90s HORROR VOL. 2!!! The 1990s were an exciting and innovative time for horror films, with the latter half of the decade boasting some downright game-changers. With THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, we saw the explosion of the found footage genre that is still popular to this day, and the Japanese showed us the dangers of sitting too close to the TV with RINGU! If that didn't change your horror movie game enough, David Fincher gave us the ultimate worst-case mystery box scenario in SEVEN, Wes Craven made horror meta with SCREAM, and M. Night Shyamalan peaked early with THE SIXTH SENSE. But we're not even close to this episode's EVENT HORIZON! We'll also look at a creepy ice cream vendor (aren't they all?), a castle freak, some self-improvement cannibals, a Rubik's Cube of death, an evil genie, Chucky's better half, a Hardrock Cafe for vampires, and so much more! Too bad all of it was lost in the devastation caused by Y2K. Joining us for this second dose of '90s chills is an award-winning friend of the show, and really, the only guest for this subject. He was the editor in chief of the legendary FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine, the genius behind the blog, IT CAME FROM..., the writer/director/producer of the IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS longform documentary series, as well as the '80s sci-fi documentary IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW. His latest project is the shockingly episode appropriate mega doc, IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS: 1995-1999! Honestly, what were the odds?! Please welcome back the always scintillating… DAVID WEINER!! '90 HORROR LIVES! AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TALK TO THE SEVERED HAND!

Join us for an in-depth conversation with actor Michael Bailey Smith, a versatile performer whose career spans decades of unforgettable roles across horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. From playing Super Freddy in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child to terrifying audiences as Pluto in The Hills Have Eyes remake, Michael has built a legacy of bringing larger-than-life characters to the screen. In this interview, Michael shares behind-the-scenes stories from his most iconic roles, his experiences working with directors like Wes Craven, and how he transitioned from football to film. We also talk about his time on Charmed, his role in the cult-favorite Fantastic Four (1994), and what continues to drive his passion for acting today. If you love horror history, creature performances, or hearing from the legends who helped shape the genre, this conversation is for you.

On Day 11 of our 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo with Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). This is the only one in the whole series that I find even halfway scary—until the infamous ending, when the inflatable mom gets yanked through the front door window and all the terror goes right out with her. Still, there's no denying that Freddy Krueger's debut remains one of horror's most iconic nightmares, blending surreal dream logic with slasher dread to unforgettable effect.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Halloween watchlist essential! We sink our claws into one of the most iconic horror films ever made: Wes Craven's 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi revisit Freddy Krueger's terrifying debut, exploring how this razor-fingered dream stalker redefined the slasher genre and haunted a generation of horror fans.Inside this episode, Henrique and Rachael share their first encounters with the film—late-night VHS terrors and the exhilaration of discovering horror's most surreal monster. They break down:The legacy of Wes Craven — how his unique vision fused nightmares and reality.Freddy Krueger's origins — a vengeful ghost, a product of parental sins, and an enduring cultural boogeyman.Themes of fear and adolescence — how suburban safety hides lurking generational trauma.Dream sequences & surreal imagery — why they still feel terrifying decades later.The franchise's evolution — from Freddy's pure horror roots to his shift into dark comedy across sequels.Whether you first saw it huddled at a sleepover or discovered it on late-night TV, A Nightmare on Elm Street still cuts to the bone. Join Henrique and Rachael for a spirited, insightful discussion that blends nostalgia, cultural analysis, and a few laughs along the way.Where to Watch (U.S., as of this writing):Shudder — https://www.shudder.com/movies/watch/a-nightmare-on-elm-street/79f1011764acf6f1Apple TV — https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/a-nightmare-on-elm-street/umc.cmc.2gxjjzta1kb4a1ysonxlo5twiAmazon / Prime Video — https://www.amazon.com/Nightmare-Elm-Street-John-Saxon/dp/B002R1UTAQFandango at Home (Vudu) — https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/details/A-Nightmare-on-Elm-Street/14155Stay tuned to the end as the hosts tease next week's dive into Candyman—because in the world of horror, the cycle always continues.

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!

That's right, we're inaugurating the Halloween season here in this quiet little spot, and no one's gonna hear you scream for mercy. Jeeze, gotta get out of this voice - uh, hey! This is a fun episode! We swear. It won't be too disturbing at all. And only tastefully exploitative as we get into the semiotics of early slasher/revenge movies. Topics include: Tarot the Musical, whether Last House even counts as a horror film, and if early Swedish is similar to modern Swedish (spoiler: we didn't actually look it up so we still don't know).

Hey! Our Halloween Series kicks off with a hit horror flick from the 90s--Wes Craven's Scream. This one has everything, from teen movie icons to self-deprecating satire. It's a fine line between fun and obnoxious, but Craven and writer Kevin Williamson straddle it pretty well. For our first two episodes, we'll enjoy some bold red wines. This is a bloody epic, so it just seems to fit. Enjoy!

This week we're digging into the brutal 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes. Does Alexandre Aja's take stand up to Wes Craven's 1977 original?

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!

This week we discuss the 1996 horror classic - SCREAM!Wes Craven re-invented and revitalised the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts - but the victims aren't always the ones you'd expect.HEAR our take on the film and on the critique of SISKEL AND EBERT.SUBSCRIBE TODAY!Visit thecultworthy.comVisit https://www.themoviewire.comVideo: https://www.youtube.com/@back2thebalcony

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?

Spoilers ahead homies! Movie breakdown starts at 23:23. It's time to put this franchise to bed and what better way than with the man who started it all? We're doing one last dance with Freddy in Wes Craven's New Nightmare! Also, Erika gets lost in Heather's eyes while Roshane is sick of these earthquakes. 

Freddy Krueger haunts the dreams of a teen boy and attempts to possess him to continue his murderous ways in reality.A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge is the sequel to one of the most popular slasher movies of its time, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and brings the deceased child killer, Freddy Krueger, back into focus. While Freddy is in control, his method of killing is a bit different in this movie moving towards possession instead of him performing the evil himself. After watching this movie, it's evident that there were a lot of deviations from the first movie in the method of killing as well as changing up some of the horror tropes we've come to expect. How will these changes play out? Watch the movie and catch our review. YouTube | The Final PodcastDiscord | Spooky PiratesFacebook | The Final PodcastInstagram | thefinalpodcastMusic Credit: Karl Casey @ White Bat Audiohttps://www.youtube.com/whitebataudioWhat should we review next?

We've received a LOT of requests to cover this one over the years.  Directed by F/X mogul Robert Kurtzman and produced by Wes Craven, this late 90s gem features a TON of 80s Horror Icons.  Anyone who wanted an 'Expendables" version of Horror actors need look no further.  This is what you want.  Very few movies from this era had so many great practical effects.  The Gore is superb.  The Djinn was a fantastic new villain for the time, played by a deliciously charismatic Andrew Divoff.  We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Wishmaster.  Show Highlights:01:00 Prelude to Terror...05:30  Remembering Wishmaster from the 90s...11:20  "Show me Wonders!"15:00  Shipyard Disaster...16:50  The Fire Opal...21:00  Djinn on the Loose...22:45  Buck Flower and Reggie...27:12  Visiting Beaumont...30:40  Taking a Face...34:00  "Everybody's a Witness..."35:20  Going 'Through' Kane Hodder38:45  Djinn Revealed...44:00  Two Wishes Down...45:10  Johnny Valentine...48:00  "I'd Love to Host a Party Like That..."52:15  The Final Wish...57:10  Scoring the Film...62:30  Conclusion...Thanks for Listening!!

Synopsis When a family takes a road trip looking for a fun and exciting vacation in sunny California, they find themselves off the beaten path and searching for a main road. Things spiral out of control when military jets fly overhead, startling the family and causing the vehicle and the trailer it pulls to crash in the middle of nowhere. As the sun sets, the family splits up to find a way to call for help, but danger may be lurking just around the hills.  Review of The Hills Have Eyes (1977) This was my first time watching the original The Hills Have Eyes. I had already seen the 2006 remake, which surprisingly stays true to the story and content of the original very well. However, it's hard to beat the charm and originality of the 1977 version directed by Wes Craven. This movie is dark, gritty, and tugs at your nerves from almost every conceivable angle. As a father of a one-year-old, the terror felt by the young couple caring for their baby was palpable to me, and it genuinely made me feel ill at times. But you may be saying, “Max, I'm not a young parent to a baby, will this movie still apply to me?” Well, that depends. Do you care about dogs? Cause if the answer is yes, you will probably still feel on the edge of your seat with worry the whole time. This movie pulls no punches, attacking the family dynamic from all sides. No one is safe, and all shots are below the belt.  Score 8/10
