“I’ve been guarding my gate for a long time, bitch!” This is one of many wholesome one liners Freddy Krueger drops in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. And when we’re here talking about the 35th anniversary of the fourth film of the franchise? He’s right.
And The Dream Master only gets better with age.
An inexperienced but hungry young director in Renny Harlin facing a rushed production, a producer (Robert Shaye) understandably skeptical of Harlin’s abilities, and a (very apropos for the 35th anniversary) writer’s strike causing the entire production to basically “run and gun” the whole shoot. Not exactly the perfect breeding ground for the biggest box office return of the franchise to that point and one of the most rewatchable films of the franchise. Yet, it happened.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves and pretend The Dream Master was without blemishes.

FredHeads, a documentary about the fan following of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise (sort of like the Evil Dead fanbase documentary Hail to the Deadites), has been a long time coming. We previously wrote about it back in January of 2018! But now it’s finally ready to make its way out into the world, having premiered at the HorrorHound Weekend convention in Cincinnati, Ohio this past September. The documentary has been acquired for distribution by BayView Entertainment, and they are planning to release it internationally for purchase on February 14, 2023.
Along with the release date announcement, BayView Entertainment has provided a trailer for FredHeads, and you can watch that in the embed above.

Sleep can literally kill you. That's what makes "A Nightmare on Elm Street" so downright spooky. Upon reading a mind-blowing story about a young Cambodian child, who was terrified to sleep and then died while apparently dreaming, filmmaker Wes Craven conjured up a sleep demon for a screenplay. Freddy Krueger was born out of a real-life wave of similar incidents that swept across America in the 1980s. The 1984 slasher film, produced by New Line's Robert Shaye, saved the company from disaster and put it immovably on the map. It reinvented the slasher genre at a time when the horror subgenre was on its way out. By leaning into the universal human experience of sleep, it brought genuine fear to the surface again.
In the coming years, Freddy Krueger has haunted our dreams across six sequels, a vs. movie with Jason Voorhees, and a 2010 remake, starring Rooney Mara and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy himself.

‘Never give up’ is a mantra we often apply to most facets of life, and rightly so. (The exception should always be watching the Witchcraft films; and one should pull that parachute early.) Jeremy Kasten’s The Attic Expeditions (2001) is a film that chased that dubious Hollywood rainbow and actually found the gold: a completed movie. Not a coherent one—by design—but completed. And it’s kind of a pip. Now Severin Films has put out this aughts curiosity with some fun extras and a solid transfer to boot. Let’s get crazy, shall we?

One of the most frustrating aspects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is the obstinate refusal of many people to follow the very simple guidelines put forward, as they whine about their civil liberties being curtailed by a few minor inconveniences put in place in the interest of preventing countless unnecessary deaths.
In response, and following horror legend Robert Englund’s “Wear your glove” PSA, various actors from throughout the Nightmare On Elm Street saga have come together to create a sinister yet effective public information video to remind people of the basic information imparted that will help stop the spread of infection.
It features an eerie chant by the series’ two most prominent stars, Heather Langenkamp and Lisa Wilcox (Alice from The Dream Master and The Dream Child), riffing on the infamous “One, two, Freddy’s coming for you…” skipping rhyme that’s repeated throughout the films and has wormed...

A commenter on IMDb describes Little Witches as being like an R-rated version of Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time” music video but with a horror twist. That’s not entirely inaccurate. Pretty young girls in Catholic schoolgirl uniforms dabble in the dark arts, causing all manner of death, demonic horror, and wanton sluttiness.
It would be very easy to dismiss Little Witches as a direct-to-video knock-off of The Craft because, well, it kind of was. But The Craft didn’t have naked Catholic schoolgirls summoning Satan or A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors’ bad girl Jennifer Rubin and Poltergeist mad munchkin Zelda Rubinstein as devout nuns or David Lynch regular Jack Nance as a doomed priest or a young Clea DuVall getting skewered by the horns of absolute evil.

Derek North Up and coming actor Derek North, through his classic looks, comes across as a cross between legendary actor Montgomery Clift (A Place in the Sun) and JFK Jr. The young actor got his start in comedy with College Debts co-starring Celeste Holm, but it's his work in the horror entertainment field, for B-movie master David DeCoteau (The Brotherhood), in such efforts as 1313: Giant Killer Bees! & 1313: Haunted Palace that is sure to get him noticed. Will he be able to prove his uniqueness, talent and distinctiveness in future films? Only time will tell on that, but part of me suspects he might just have the drive to make it in the business after taking on an ambitious effort of having already directed and produced his first short film, a bio on none other then Monty himself, simply entitled Monty.

Love him or hate him, one thing is for sure: Director David DeCoteau is a legend in the horror entertainment field. That can't be denied. He's the man responsible for 80's camp classics such as Nightmare Sisters and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama. Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama gathered a once in a lifetime B movie cast including Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead), Brinke Stevens (Grandma's House), Michelle Bauer (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers), Robin Stille (The Slumber Party Massacre), Hal Havins (Night of the Demons), and George 'Buck' Flower (They Live). While Sorority Babes was one of the most downright fun horror films of the 80's, another element stood out about the film, one that would go on to shape and define David DeCoteau's career. See, David DeCoteau cast this complete unknown named Andras Jones in the lead role. Right off the bat, you could...

The Pacific Northwest was once again invaded by Crypticon, and if you missed it, you missed a devil of a good time. Held the weekend of June 18th-20th, the big change this year for this growing event was the switch of venue from downtown Seattle to the Holiday Inn in Everett, Wa. A transition that caused more than a few to scratch their heads.
Why the change from the heart of the Emerald City to a location some thirty minutes north? "In order to keep ticket prices affordable for the fans, we had to make the change," says Mickie Bunnage, one of the event's organizers. "The Seattle Center was just too expensive, and if we wanted to keep costs down for the fans, we had to move."
And if the reaction from those in attendance is any indication, the move made little difference and gets a big thumbs up.

With the remake slinking out of the boiler room and into theaters soon, I became intoxicated with revisiting A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master – the most financially successful Nightmare sequel before it was dethroned by Freddy vs. Jason in 2003. The Dream Master took in $49.3 million domestic gross at the box office in ’88, and inspired the production of more Freddy games, toys, dolls, surfboards, pogo sticks, race cars, planes and railway systems than anyone could’ve predicted.
Indeed, America had completely flipped its shit for Freddy, and the majority of the horror community had no idea how to cope with it.
The psychosexual A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge aggravated audiences by breaking most of the rules set by Wes Craven’s original, and the third film, Dream Warriors, turned some fans off with its enhanced Krueger-the-Clown bits. Yet it was The Dream Master that really set some folks aflame.

I have to tell you that this installment of Scenes We Love was a close one, because the more I searched for the scene in question from A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4: The Dream Master, the more I realized that it was a pretty terrible movie. The fourth installment of the horror franchise saw Freddy looking for some fresh meat after he had worked his way through the original "Elm Street brats". But like I said, this is about the song as well as the movie, so Dream Master (despite it's failings) lived to earn its very own Songs We Love thanks to "Anything, Anything", by Dramarama.
Now, no one would blame you if the name isn't ringing a bell, but Dramarama was an La-based power pop band that made some inroads to fame before fading into obscurity in the early 90's -- with the exception of an...
