About this listen
Content warning: discussions of child sexual abuse, violence towards minors, alcoholism, child neglect
One, two, don’t let your nightmares come true! Returning to classic 80’s slashers, Laney and Carson discuss the infamous Freddy Krueger and the introduction of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. While going back to Wes Craven and his Scream rules, we critique the classic teen slasher genre and its focus on the horrors of teen sexuality, and question how slight variations in narrative change the way an audience reacts to a villain. Carson brings insights from his favorite queer horror essay anthology (It Came From The Closet, essay “The Trail of His Flames” by Tucker Lieberman), and Laney asks some important question about the film’s hole-riddled plot. So pull out your hidden second coffee pot and set all your alarm clocks, and conquer the nightmare with us, or never never sleep again!
