A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Greetings, humans. I am your evil Dream Master, Chad. And this week, to celebrate what your society used to refer to as \u201cHalloween\u201d, 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\u2019s \u201cA Nightmare on Elm Street\u201d on an endless loop. Why do this, you ask? Well\u2026perhaps my circuits are malfunctioning? Or\u2026maybe 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\u2026

\nWhy not?
\n
\n
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\u2019s vocabulary; and finally, Johnny Depp\u2019s younger self laughs at his co-stars as they suffer through the embarrassing effects of puberty onscreen.
