Description

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca continue their exploration of A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise with their discussion of the 1991 horror-comedy film Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. 
Episode Highlights: While we still maintain that a bad Nightmare film is still better than a lot of horror out there, we also think that this film misses out on a lot of opportunities and fails to deliver in key ways. We argue that one of the primary issues with this film is that it introduces us to a literal John Doe character, which makes it difficult for audiences to feel fully invested in the life-and-death stakes of this narrative. We also talk about the challenges this film faces as the sixth in a franchise in terms of audience expectations, originality of concepts, and continuation of the Freddy Krueger world.
