Even More A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) w/ J Blake Fichera

We continue our breakdown of Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street with a chat on how the standout practical effects of this movie influenced a generation of effect artists, Bob Shaye's role in bringing the film to life, how Nancy used the psychological tactic of lucid dreaming to fight back against a monster, and the influence a great score has on influencing the tone of a horror movie. Jerry had to sit this one out, but Mike is joined with J. Blake Fichera, author of SCORED TO DEATH: Conversations with Some of Horrors Greatest Composers (Amazon Link) and cohost of the Saturday Night Movie Sleepover podcast.    Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/podandthependulum Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/podandpendulum Join our Facebook Group: Pod & the Pendulum Facebook Group Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
