This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Ryan Etherington and Simon Keet venture into the dreamlike terror of Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. A trailblazer of the slasher genre, this 1984 classic introduced audiences to Freddy Krueger, the razor-gloved boogeyman haunting the nightmares of Elm Street’s unlucky teens.
Ryan and Simon peel back the layers of Craven’s masterpiece, delving into its surreal visuals, psychological horror, and the cultural phenomenon that made Freddy a horror icon. From the inventive death scenes to the deeper themes of guilt and repression, this episode promises sharp analysis and plenty of fiery debate.
Complementing the discussion is the always-brilliant Jimmy Murphy, whose original music and sketches bring a fresh and spooky charm to the show.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Freddy’s dreamscape or dipping into horror for the first time, this episode is a perfect place to start. Just make sure you stay awake long enough to listen!
