In late-70's and early-80's America, Laotian men began suddenly dying from their dreams. Newspaper coverage of the medical mystery would inspire one of the richest and most enduring classics of horror cinema.
We begin with the true story of that tragedy, and how it challenges our assumptions about the distinction between dreams and reality, before connecting it to the seminal 1984 film.
Scott Crompton, a professor of English and film - and a Nightmare super-fan - joins Dylan, Sheldon, and Will, to discuss, in detail, how the first Freddy Krueger film was made, how it works, and what it means.
This is the first installment in a special 4-part series about the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
