Show Notes
We tackle Freddy head on, but not in our dreams, on a podcast.
What's up with the trend of 80s horror being set in the suburbs? What darkness lies beneath perfectly trimmed lawns? We talk Wes Craven and how he parodied himself into another franchise with scream and got parodied by the Wayans brothers into yet another franchise. Is he the franchise king?
And we wonder how the suburbs is the perfect place to stage horror. The false sense of safety is the perfect backdrop and how these horror psychopathic characters are metaphors for the very human depravities that happen in those communities.
