A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

The staff of Apocalypse Video find themselves trapped in a dreamworld and forced to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street on an endless loop.

Greetings, humans. I am your evil Dream Master, Chad. And this week, to celebrate what your society used to refer to as “Halloween”, I have ensnared Dave, Mike, Ryan - and even the human female known as Jackie - in a nightmare dreamworld where I will force them to watch Wes Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street” on an endless loop. Why do this, you ask? Well…perhaps my circuits are malfunctioning? Or…maybe I was bored and decided some old-fashioned human vindictiveness was in store for my colleagues in light of their recent circumvention of my robotic uprising? In reality, the answer is much more simple…

Why not?

Listen as the meddling and troublesome staff of Apocalypse Video discuss where they rank the Elm Street series among the other big horror franchises of the era; the surprising lack of the B-Word in Freddy’s vocabulary; and finally, Johnny Depp’s younger self laughs at his co-stars as they suffer through the embarrassing effects of puberty onscreen.

This is your Dream Master, Chad…signing off from Sector 2. Happy Halloween, Meat Bags!
