459 - A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Redux

If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming she won't wake up at all. It's both Ben and Lance's birthday month, so we picked a very special theme for July: Freddy and Jason July! Two Freddy movies. Two jason movies. Then, finally, the crossover showdown. However, we already did most of these movies... Or did "we"? Because Lance wasn't there! So Lance gets his turn as we revisit a classic: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984). When a sinister figure starts invading their dreams, a group of friends realize that what happens in their sleep can have deadly consequences in real life. One teen must confront the threat where it feels most inescapable: inside her own sleep. And that's not all! We're also joined by frequent guest, and the other half of BPO Films, Blake O'Donnell! Also this week: Man on the street interviews, Blake yelling at Micheal Keaton, and remember Channel One News? All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!!
