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? We break down the differences and debate: Is this a pointless cash-grab, or a horror remake that actually brings new terror to the table?https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-hills-have-eyes-2006--67998699#spookyseason #horror #scary #film #movie #desert #mutant #fallout #nuclear #testing #baby #breakfast #time #Jupiter #mars #Pluto #ruby #wescraven #Alexanderaja #hightension
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?

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?

Et voila, nous y sommes enfin. Le centième épisode de Jumpscare. Il y a à peine deux ans et demi, on sortait de nulle part avec notre épisode pilote sur EVIL DEAD RISE, encore timides et un peu gênés. Depuis, le podcast a trouvé son ton, n'a cessé de grandir et a toujours mis un point d'honneur à recevoir des personnalités du monde horrifique : réalisateurs, réalisatrices, comédiens, SFX artist... Et aujourd'hui pour fêter cet épisode clé comme il se doit, nous sommes fiers de recevoir une légende absolue. Impossible de parler de cinéma d'horreur sans évoquer son visage... Il s'agit évidemment du très grand Robert Englund. Acteur prolifique depuis les années 1970, qui a collaboré avec des cinéastes aussi emblématiques que Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper ou John Landis... Mais c'est surtout sous le maquillage brûlé et le chapeau de Freddy Krueger qu'il a marqué à jamais l'imaginaire collectif, incarnant l'un des monstres les plus effrayants et inoubliables de l'histoire du cinéma. Nous sommes fiers d'avoir pu nous entretenir avec Robert, et de revenir sur l'ensemble de sa carrière, de ses débuts, à son apparition récente dans Stranger Things en passant par ses premiers pas dans l'horreur avec Tobe Hooper. L'épisode est aussi dispo sur notre chaine youtube (@jumpscarecast) en VOST dans un format documentaire, n'hésitez pas à aller y jeter un oeil :) Un grand merci à Robert Englund, Nancy Englund, Thibaut et Jack Sholder.

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.

Get out of the water... so you can listen to this episode! Summer isn't over yet, so Mark celebrates 50 years of the first summer blockbuster: Jaws! Joining him for a chat at sea is longtime friend, screenwriter, and film lover C.C. Webster, who also was with him in Martha's Vineyard earlier this summer for the Spielberg movie's big anniversary weekend. They discuss how their visit to the island was, show off their swag, and share what weird thing Richard Dreyfuss said on the mic at the screening. Plus, Mark puts C.C. to the test with a trivia game! And the great Wes Craven, who also has a Martha's Vineyard connection, gets a shout-out 10 years after his passing.
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.

Written by entertainment journalist Clark Collis (author of You've Got Red on You: How Shaun of the Dead Was Brought to Life), this exhaustively researched book is the first in-depth examination of a remarkably fertile and influential time for big screen horror. Wes Craven's Scream was followed by a flood of classic terror tales such as The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, Final Destination, The Others, Pan's Labyrinth, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Saw, Hostel, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious. This comprehensive history covers the often difficult and tortuous making of all these films (and many more), giving readers the exclusive lowdown on productions which were often as intense as the horrifying sights that ended up on screen. Screaming and Conjuring features recollections from a host of genre icons, including actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Neve Campbell, directors Eli Roth and Sam Raimi, and legendary makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero. The book also includes 200 production stills, film posters, and rarely seen images. Blood. Sweat. Tears. More blood. Clark Collis takes you behind the scenes, and the scares, with this fascinating history of the modern horror movie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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
