House of Craven - 230 - Nightmare on Elm Street
from Houselights: A Film Director Podcast · host The Nerd Party
There’s no denying Nightmare’s place in horror history. It birthed a legend, introduced a terrifying concept, and proved that low-budget horror could be wildly imaginative. But as a film, it’s best appreciated with caveats. It’s not airtight. It’s not consistently scary. But it is audacious, and sometimes that’s enough to earn a nightmare or two.
