Episode 25: The Nightmare Begins Part Two

If you haven't listened to Part One, STOP. Go listen and we'll be here when you get back.

Dawn and Jen pick up where they left off, finishing their discussion of A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors. The Obi-Wan Kenobi arc of Nancy Thompson, a few crazy effects that didn't make the final cut and a recent scientific discovery that puts the "bastard son of a hundred maniacs" in a whole new light. 

This episode is the second part of a two-parter that covers A Nightmare on Elm Street and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.  

Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11.

Our heroines, Nancy and Kristen, were also part of our look at Final Girls in Episode 2.

Episode 23: Love Hurts?

It's Valentine's Day and love is in the air. Or is that the putrid stench of decay? Honestly, we can't tell. Join Jen and Dawn as they look at four of horror's greatest romantic tropes: Love Will Save Us, The Family that Slays Together Stays Together, Love Will Drive You Crazy and Sex Kills.

We've got a lot of love for love, so join us as we show the more romantic side of horror.
