Ep280: A Nightmare on Elm Street Original & Remake

Posted on by

This week we continue our special look at classic horror films and their modern remakes by taking a look at one of the most beloved horror franchises of all time: A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The Wes Craven original had an entire generation of kids wetting themselves at the thought of taking a quick nap. The 2009 remake is one of the most universally disliked remakes in horror history. Does the original still hold up? Is the remake “really not that bad”? Do we laugh way too hard at our own stupid ass jokes? Tune in and find out, ya stupid goof! (Review starts at 46:46)
