Show Notes

Let's face it, the entire podcast is a nightmare for Nicole. But this one in particular, is all about nightmares. One of the most iconic horror characters of all time, is finally featured on the podcast. Of course, after seeing the intro, I had to drag Nicole out of the garage, stalling her progress on the creation of her own clawed glove. I haven't seen a hat or a red and green striped sweater, so I may be safe. But those Elm Street kids? Not so much. Freddy Krueger and his seven minutes of screen time may just prove to be more than they can handle, in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

And then from there, a little bonus coverage from the same year in cinema. A movie that is seemingly unrelated, but manages to share a few elements. Coincidence? Well, a young Dennis Quaid is conned into using his psychic abilities in a dream-manipulation study, rather than gambling at the track. But you know that as soon as the government gets involved, they're immediately going to want to harness these powers as a weapon, in Dreamscape (1984).
