Welcome to the third instalment of our Halloween series! This week we review A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), a total horror classic. This movie is the perfect combination of cheesy 80s horror and genuinely scary moments. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore! Plus, the outfits in this film (especially Johnny Depp’s characters’) are iconic. Enjoy!
Talking points: humans doing catnip, a mini Titane (2021) review, horror movie sequels/remakes, Olivia thinking this movie was a Christmas movie, our childhood fears, Letterboxd Corner, emojis, slasher movies, final girls being smart, Freddy Krueger being stupid, the outfits, and what makes this movie so darn good.
