One, two, Freddy’s coming for you... Welcome back to Once Upon a Nightmare! Host Lorraine takes a deep dive into Wes Craven’s groundbreaking 1984 classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street.

In this episode, we explore how Craven reinvented the slasher genre by bringing horror into the one place we're supposed to be safe, our dreams. We break down the chilling real-world news articles about medical mysteries that inspired the plot, the childhood terrors behind Freddy Krueger's iconic look, and how a low-budget indie film built New Line Cinema into "The House That Freddy Built", before reviewing the movie.
