There are only a few things in this world that I love more than Halloween. The seminal holiday is a time filled with atmosphere, costuming, partying and the non-stop marathon of horror film watching. All of us horrorphiles watch genre cinema year round regardless but during the daily countdown to All Hallows Eve it just seems more appropriate to re-watch classics, introduce yourself to unseen gems and it’s probably the only time people won’t shake their head at you for annually subjecting yourself to dreck like Halloween: Resurrection because it’s part of the franchise. Well, maybe. Another favorite ritual of mine is to scour TV shows for the inevitable macabre themed episode, which leads us to this weeks episode of Freddy’s Nightmares appropriately titled “Freddy’s Tricks and Treats”!

Airing on October 29th, 1988 (did anyone catch this during it’s original prime-time run?), it’s Halloween night »

Welcome back to another edition of Freddy’s Nightmares or: How I Learned to Write Weekly Reviews and Love The Show. Yes, this is first time in my writing career that I’ve dedicated to writing a recurring weekly review on a single program. Please hold your applause. In this case, the horror anthology that is Freddy’s Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street The Series. I’m sort of like an ancient, crusty old TV Guide reminding people of this slightly obscured syndicated show based on one of the most memorable horror icons of all time, that they kinda remember but not really because earth shattering sitcoms such as Roseanne and tear jerking nostalgia fare like The Wonder Years premiered the same year. Boy I should have been around in the 80s. As much as I adore both of those shows (I’m not kidding), I’ve finally come »
