Thanks to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Freddy Krueger became as popular as ever. The Springwood Slasher was suddenly a household name, leading to an increased focus on his macabre sense of humor. The result is the entry often known as the “MTV Nightmare.”

Kevin the Critic returns to the show to discuss director Renny Harlin’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. We’ll discuss which lessons it learns from its predecessor, how it shifts focus to a new final girl and why one particular sequence is undeniably the Kill of the Week.

Join us as we dissect A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master’s legacy as — for better or worse — a turning point. The highest-grossing entry until Freddy vs Jason, this one isn’t as discussed as others. But let’s tumble into a nightmarish wonderland with our own Alice (Lisa Wilcox).
