Andrew and Jason review A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) A supernatural slasher written and directed by Wes Craven!  Springwood teenagers who are targeted by Freddy Krueger, an undead child killer who murders teenagers through their dreams, as retribution against their parents who burned him alive. This Film Has Every Thing! It has a guy that is the Illegitimate Love Child Of Lenny and Squiggy. It has Tina in a bag. It has a hat stealing, teenage shut in that doesn't sleep well. A baby Johnny Depp. Glenn's uptight parents. Everything!  

Eu e o Adriano sentamos de novo naquele estúdio que ainda cheira a carpete novo para falar sobre uma coisa que, se você parar para pensar, é meio doentia: filmes onde pessoas morrem de formas criativas.O Adriano trouxe uma lista com dez filmes slasher. Eu percebi, enquanto ele falava, que o que me atrai nesses filmes não é a perfeição técnica. Na verdade, é quase o contrário. São as falhas, o baixo orçamento e aquela sensação de que o diretor estava tentando dizer algo muito sério com muito pouco dinheiro.Falamos sobre John Carpenter e Wes Craven, que são os nomes óbvios, mas também sobre Michael Haneke, que fez um filme que eu não sei se quero ver de novo, mas fico feliz que exista.No final, a gente ainda gastou um tempo considerável discutindo se Stanley Kubrick estava tentando nos avisar de algo em seu último filme antes de partir. E tem uma série polonesa sobre mandamentos bíblicos que o Adriano indicou e que parece ser a coisa mais triste e bonita que você vai ver este ano.Enfim. É só uma conversa. Se você tiver um tempo livre e quiser ouvir dois caras falando sobre o que faz um filme resistir ao tempo, o vídeo está aí. Se não tiver, eu entendo perfeitamente. A vida anda bem ocupada para todo mundo.

We wrap up our IT'S VOODOO, BABY triple feature with Wes Craven's voodoo-doomed descent into near-death delirium. Zombies are real, the dead still feel, and we're traveling to Haiti at the height of the regime-ending anti-Duvalier protests to meet the soul-snatching bokor Captain Peytraud in THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW.

Physical media has some upgraded gems this week so Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski get into some appreciative conversation. They include a James Garner detective tale that may have been the precursor to The Rockford Files. The final film of Wes Craven's career gets relitigated over its decade-long reevaluation. Christopher Walken delivers maybe the nuttiest performance of his career. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant close out ‘90s rom-coms in style. Joe Dante and Tom Hanks take a skewer to suburban placation that may be even more relevant today. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are one of the great comic pairings ever in an all-timer Hollywood satire. Finally, on the eve of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg gets an 8-film box set.

The lease says one year. The nightmare is forever.This week Matty & Andrew dive into one of the most universally relatable horrors imaginable — your landlord. From Matty's own front-row seat to the Dublin housing crisis to the very real terror of LGBTQ+ people losing their homes during the AIDS epidemic, we cover the full spectrum of landlord horror: the passive-aggressive newsletter, the unannounced inspection, the company town where your boss owned literally everything... and the eviction notice that changes your life with a single sheet of paper.And then we watched some movies.

This week, Andy, Dave and producer Dane take a trip into The Twilight Zone as they explore the lost art of the TV anthology series.Andy finally confronts the black-and-white original Twilight Zone and watches the legendary "Time Enough at Last" – discovering that maybe, just maybe, old television isn't quite as rubbish as he thought. Along the way, the team discuss nuclear anxiety, thick-rimmed spectacles, Fallout's possible Twilight Zone influences, and whether the show's famous twists still work today.Dane jumps forward to the 1980s revival with the unsettling "Wordplay", a story in which language itself begins to break down. The conversation turns to communication, isolation, dementia, and why some of the scariest stories contain no monsters at all.Meanwhile, Dave heads into the darker corners of Black Mirror with the Christmas classic "White Christmas", starring Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall. The team discuss digital isolation, AI consciousness, social blocking made real, and why Charlie Brooker's vision of the future feels more relevant than ever.Three anthology classics. Three very different nightmares. And one question: are the most frightening stories really the ones about being completely alone?Featuring:• The Twilight Zone – "Time Enough at Last" (1959)• The Twilight Zone – "Wordplay" (1986)• Black Mirror – "White Christmas" (2014)Plus: Rod Serling, Wes Craven, nuclear war, Christmas existential dread, and why Dane has somehow become the lightning rod for listener complaints.To join Scarred Club and get fortnightly bonus episodes, ad-free listening and access to the members forum - sign-up here - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://scarredforlife.supportingcast.fm/⁠⁠Send us a voice note on WhatsApp - 07457 404 279Follow us on socials:Scarred For Life - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Company - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lock It In Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andy Bush - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Todo empieza con una llamada de teléfono. Al principio parece una equivocación. Una voz amable pregunta por una película de terror. Habla de cine. Bromea. Coquetea incluso. Pero algo no encaja. Las preguntas se vuelven demasiado personales. El tono cambia. Y poco a poco una conversación aparentemente inocente se transforma en una pesadilla. Una que marcaría la historia del cine para siempre convirtiéndose en la franquicia más exitosa de la historia del cine. Nos vamos a 1996, para muchos el mejor año de la historia del cine, aunque por aquel entonces el género de terror ya estaba agotado y muerto. John Carpenter escribió las reglas del juego con Halloween en 1978 y esa fórmula se repitió hasta ahogarla en un sinsentido. Los Slashers se habáin convertido en una terrible broma, con infinidad de secuelas y de imitaciones y de copias de las copias. Y luego estaba “Leprechaun” de 1994 con el debut de otra chica de Friends en pantalla, en este caso Jennifer Aniston con un asesino en forma de enano de la suerte irlandés en un palo saltarín. El único horror era más elevado, más inteligente y más cuidado. Pensad más en “El Silencio de los corderos” y menos en “Pesadilla en Elm Street”. La violencia salvaje del horror por el horror había muerto y entonces llega un guión que provoca una guerra entre compañías, uno de un novato llamado Kevin Williamson con una cinta titulada “Scary Movie”, en el que hace algo mucho más inteligente: asumir que todos hemos visto ya demasiados slashers. Más tarde el estudio cambiaría el título a Scream, un título por cierto con el que casi todos los implicados estaban en contra. Subtitulado en España como “Vigila quien llama” es la película con la que vamos a pasar el próximo ratito en compañía de amigos con Héctor de los tres Amigos y LA Frans de Frecuencia Global Películas del mes: Hokum, Obsession, La plaga, El hotel del terror, Princesa lesbiana Dollhouse (Las malditas) en Movistar+, Lesbian Space Princess en Movistar+, Hokum, Brain Damage (Filmin), Más allá de los dos minutos infinitos (Filmin), Turno de noche, Te van a matar, Shelby Oaks Recomendaciones de Héctor “Las tres caras del miedo” (Black Sabbath), “6 mujeres para el asesino” de Mario Bava Películas de terror meta “Detrás de la máscara el encumbramiento de Leslie Vernon” en Prime Video, “La cabaña en el bosque”, “La nueva pesadilla”, “Las últimas supervivientes” y “Tucker y Dale contra el mal”

Jackie and Danielle are closing out Joshua Jackson May-hem with a howl-worthy deep dive into Cursed, the 2005 werewolf thriller that somehow combines Hollywood satire, suspicious CGI, and one very confused plot. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, this horror-comedy had all the ingredients for a cult classic. Instead, it became one of the most fascinating studio messes of the Y2K era.In this episode of the No More Late Fees podcast, Jackie and Danielle break down everything from the movie's troubled production history to the unintentionally hilarious werewolf transformations. They discuss the stacked cast featuring Christina Ricci, Joshua Jackson, Jesse Eisenberg, Judy Greer, and Mýa while debating whether this movie should have leaned harder into horror or full camp.The episode also dives into:Behind-the-scenes drama involving rewrites, reshoots, and deleted footageThe original practical effects that were replaced with CGIJesse Eisenberg's early movie roles and unexpected “glow-up”Judy Greer's standout performance and wild final revealThe strange world of mid-2000s horror trendsFunny commentary about werewolf logic, terrible decisions, and random celebrity cameosFandom hot takes about Joshua Jackson's villain era and the movie's cult potentialJackie and Danielle also share box office trivia, critic reactions, and their present-day Ratings Rewind scores while revisiting one of the weirdest horror movies of the 2000s.

This week King Prince,Killah Keel,& Wes Craven discuss songs that should have had videos,the new horror flick ''Obsession'',and of course everything current in the culture.Tune in for unfiltered Hip Hop discussion.

Returning guest Don Campbell joins us as we meet Charles Lee Ray in episode 156, tackling Tom Holland's 1988 classic Child's Play as the second entry in the "It's Voodoo Baby" triple feature. We break down all eight of Chucky's major reveals, from the voodoo soul transfer that opens the film to the battery scene confrontation between Karen Barclay and the Good Guy doll, to the fiery finale in the apartment. Along the way we explore Don Mancini's original "Blood Buddy" script, the Cabbage Patch doll craze that inspired the film, the raised soundstage set and practical puppet work that brought Chucky to life, and why Catherine Hicks' performance makes Child's Play as much a story about a struggling single mother as it is a slasher. The episode closes with our favorite reveals ranking, real monsters, and a round of "would you survive Chucky?"  Next up: Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow closes out the triple feature.

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."

Wes Craven did a horror flick? Oh, we had to check this out. It also gave Chris a chance to flex his comic knowledge and drop some Swamp Thing lore on me. This is also part two of what I am dubbing "The Swamp Trilogy." What is that? Well we did Man-Thing a while back, now this and well, you'll see the conclusion next episode...

#WillDodson #Comebacks #Gloria Monti #MitchHamptonInside this episode with your host, Mitch Hampton:I enjoyed the discussion with Will Dodson so much that I had to have him back for a second episode. I think this might be one of the few podcast episodes wherein we mention figures as varied as Jimmy Stewart, Woody Strode, John Ford, Chuck Vincent, Gloria Swanson, Fred Olen Ray, Wes Craven and Pam Grier, but that is the kind of thing that can happen when Will and I come into contact. Not only was I happy that Gloria Monti brought the wonderful book that is Comebacks: The Return of the Aging Film Star (Wayne State UP, 2025) into our world that she co-edited with Martin Shinglerand. They bring the story of artists like Woody Strode to future generations but I can't help but feel that, speaking philosophically, the subject or concept of the comeback itself might be one that is most integral to all of the arts in any age. I hope you share in our enthusiasm on this one.Will's Bio and Links:Will Dodson is a writer and editor; film, rhetoric, and literature professor; audio commentary and visual essay producer .He is a Lecturer of Media Studies and co-editor of The Anthem Series on Exploitation and Industry in World Cinema, Foundations of Horror Studies (Manchester UP), and American Twilight: The Cinema of Tobe Hooper (University of Texas Press). His most recent essays are “One Thing About Time:' Woody Strode's Late Films,” included in Comebacks: The Return of the Aging Film Star (Wayne State UP, 2025)Links to Will's Social Media and works:LinkTree: @linktr.ee/willdodsonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wdodson52/Amazon Author Page ( link embedded)Additional links:Series Co-editor, The Anthem Series on Exploitation and Industry in World CinemaSeries Co-editor, Foundations of Horror StudiesCo-editor, American Twilight: The Cinema of Tobe Hooper#cinema #television #johnford #western #spaghettiwestern #expolitationmovie #blackploitation #pamgreir #jimmystewart #willaimholden #gloriaswanson #sunsetboulevard #billywider #silentmovie #1920s #1930s #1940s #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #1990s #directtovideo  #vhs #compactdisc #computer #bodymodification #lifeextension #genetics #race #civilrights #nativeamerican #indigenous #italy #horror #gothic #erotica #screamqueen #jimwynorski #jewelshepard #juliestrain #shannontweed #genesimmons #howardberger #bluray #restoration #jade #williamfriedkin #davidcaruso #lindafiorentino #eroticthriller #blackpanther #blackpanthers #fredwilliamson #jimbrown #jimkelly #larrycohen #joedante #jonathandemme #jonathankaplan #rogercorman #theater #thirdplace #jackiebrown #quentintarantino #robertforster #johntravolta #jackhill #claudiajennings #gatorbait #francisfordcoppola #stanleykubrick #spartacus #gorevidal #howardfast #plutarch #daltontrumbo #kirkdouglas #laurenceolivier #tonycurtis #jeansimmons #lisakudrow #hbomax #stream #sports #football #integration

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.

On paper, the pairing of superstar comedian Eddie Murphy and horror auteur Wes Craven for a comedic, black-centric vampire movie seems like a great idea; add the gorgeous and talented Angela Bassett to the mix as the Caribbean bloodsucker's love interest and you have the makings of a hit. Unfortunately, Vampire in Brooklyn missed the rich vein of critical and audience approval, though it has become something of a cult hit in recent years, thanks in no small part to Sinners star Michael B Jordan's love of the film. Join hosts Sebastian and Richard as they bust out the coffin, put on the bad wigs and bat wings and thrust a stake through the heart of this uneven but enjoyable mid-90s flick.

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.

We like Sophie Thatcher and have enjoyed the works of Jennifer Kent. The idea of the two of them teaming up has us excited. Especially when it is set in a dystopian world. And it is based on a short story written for the pulp magazines of yesteryear. By a woman posing as a man. Good Boy was one of our favorite movies from last year. There is no arguing the hype surrounding it was based on its gimmick, however. Director Ben Leonberg's next movie is also very gimmicky. (No Indy, unfortunately.) We also talk about the next installment of the Blair Witch franchise and some of our concerns. Our first movie from South Africa may sound familiar. It is about a killer who preys on people's fears and wears black gloves with razor blades. But there is a reason that no one says Wes Craven stole the idea for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Quite simply, there is nothing like 1979's The Demon. This is probably for the best since the movie makes absolutely no sense. There is a soldier with ESP, a love story, an unresolved kidnapping, lots of quiet nudity, and no ending. Naturally, one of us was not impressed. So why did one of us give it the highest recommendation? Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Morbidly Beautiful is your one stop shop for all your horror needs.

Let us know your thoughtsLock the doors, avoid the basement, and whatever you hear behind the walls… don't go looking.In this episode of The Horror Cut, we descend into the twisted suburban nightmare of The People Under the Stairs, hand-picked by Horror author Sam Tonnell. The wild and darkly satirical horror from Wes Craven blends social commentary, fairy-tale terror, and pure chaos. We dig into the film's strange tonal balancing, its critique of greed and abuse, and the unforgettable performances from Everett McGill and Wendy Robie as the terrifying “Mommy” and “Daddy.” From hidden passageways and cannibalistic secrets to shotgun-wielding landlords, we explore why The People Under the Stairs remains one of Craven's most unique and underrated films.Mandatory Lobotomy: A Horror Anthologyhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Mandatory-Lobotomy-Anthology-Sam-Tonnell/dp/B0D64NM7G4Support the showIG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_PerformerFB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

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.

IX En este episodio de LLDLL, nos adentramos en uno de los territorios más inquietantes y desconocidos de la mente humana: los sueños. La Frontera con lo Imposible. Este programa reúne experiencias reales que desafían la lógica, relatos que se mueven entre la psicología, el misterio y lo paranormal, y una pregunta constante que nos acompaña durante todo el viaje: ¿son los sueños simples construcciones del cerebro o pueden ser una puerta hacia algo más? A lo largo del episodio, escuchamos testimonios impactantes enviados por oyentes que han vivido experiencias oníricas difíciles de explicar. Historias como la de Beltrán, quien desde niño sufrió pesadillas recurrentes hasta que un día decidió enfrentarse a ellas dentro del propio sueño, descubriendo así el fenómeno del sueño lúcido y el control consciente del mundo onírico. O el caso de Antonio, que vuelve a compartir una vivencia profundamente personal donde el sueño se convierte en un espacio de conexión con lo inexplicable. También conocemos el relato de María, quien asegura haber recibido visitas de familiares fallecidos en sueños, aportando datos concretos, mensajes y detalles imposibles de atribuir al azar. El programa se enriquece además con colaboraciones y referencias dentro del mundo del misterio, como el podcast La Gata Cristy de Lola Velasco. Pero este viaje no se limita a experiencias personales. También exploramos algunos de los sueños más influyentes de la historia, aquellos que cambiaron la ciencia, la literatura y la música. Desde Dmitri Mendeléyev, quien soñó la estructura de la tabla periódica, hasta Elias Howe, cuya pesadilla le dio la clave para inventar la máquina de coser. Pasamos por James Watson y Francis Crick, vinculados a la visualización de la doble hélice del ADN, y por August Kekulé, quien descubrió la estructura del benceno tras soñar con una serpiente que se mordía la cola. La literatura también nace del mundo onírico con Robert Louis Stevenson, que concibió El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y Mr Hyde tras una pesadilla, y Mary Shelley, quien imaginó Frankenstein en un sueño que la aterrorizó profundamente. En la música, encontramos el caso de Giuseppe Tartini y su Trino del Diablo, inspirado por un sueño en el que el propio demonio tocaba el violín, y el de Paul McCartney, quien soñó la melodía de Yesterday en 1963 y más tarde la frase que daría origen a Let It Be, vinculada a la aparición de su madre fallecida, Mary. Sin embargo, uno de los bloques más perturbadores del episodio nos traslada a un caso real que dejó desconcertada a la ciencia en los años 80: el fenómeno vivido por la etnia Hmong. Tras huir de Laos durante la Guerra de Vietnam, especialmente tras la retirada de Estados Unidos en 1975, muchos refugiados comenzaron a morir de forma inexplicable mientras dormían en países como Estados Unidos, en lugares como Minnesota, Wisconsin o California. Este fenómeno, conocido médicamente como SUNDS (Síndrome de Muerte Súbita Nocturna Inexplicable), fue interpretado por los Hmong como el ataque de una entidad llamada Dab Tsog, un espíritu que se posa sobre el pecho durante el sueño, provocando parálisis, terror extremo y, en algunos casos, la muerte. Estos sucesos no solo marcaron a la comunidad, sino que también inspiraron a Wes Craven tras leer casos reales en el Los Angeles Times, dando origen a uno de los iconos del terror moderno: Freddy Krueger y la saga Pesadilla en Elm Street. Un ejemplo más de cómo el miedo que habita en los sueños puede trascender hasta la cultura popular. A lo largo de este episodio, se plantea un equilibrio constante entre la explicación científica, que interpreta los sueños como procesos neurológicos relacionados con la memoria, el trauma o el deseo y la experiencia subjetiva de quienes aseguran haber vivido algo mucho más profundo. ¿Puede una creencia provocar una reacción física capaz de detener el corazón? ¿Son los sueños una vía de comunicación con lo que ya no está? ¿O simplemente una forma en la que el cerebro procesa la realidad? Sueños de los Oyentes es un programa sobre sueños lúcidos, sueños premonitorios, parálisis del sueño, experiencias paranormales, mensajes del más allá y relatos reales que exploran los límites entre la mente y lo desconocido. Un episodio pensado para quienes buscan historias de misterio, casos reales, fenómenos inexplicables y ese punto en el que la ciencia ya no tiene todas las respuestas.

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.

Tonight we catch up and we rate our favorite scream moives 1-7! 

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.

Wes Craven didn't invent the idea of dying in your sleep during a nightmare — he read about it in the newspaper. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, dozens of young Hmong refugees in America went to sleep and never woke up, and nobody could explain why. The CDC investigated. Doctors were baffled. And the victims themselves had seen it coming — they were afraid to sleep. The real nightmare came first. Freddy Krueger came second.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. (The Terrifying True Syndrome That Inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street) *** We're used to seeing someone on television or in movies die from a gunshot or stabbing, knowing they were just pretending – that the gun was using blanks, or the knife was using a retractable blade. But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments.

We talk about the Scream meta-slasher film franchise, from the original Wes Craven /Kevin Williamson 1996 debut starring Neve Campbell, and Courtney Cox to the new one (#7), still with three out of four of those participants (Wes Craven being dead). Is the self-reflection about the horror genre in these films actually elevating, or just a permission structure to enjoy the base pleasure of seeing people murdered? Are these actually films that people who normally hate slasher movies still might enjoy? Get more at prettymuchpop.com.

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:
