About this episode
“More often than not, I’m fighting for my life!” - Eric, on his recurring nightmares
On this week’s episode, our Halloween Spooktacular kicks off and, in the spirit of this year’s FOUR-OR MOVIE theme, we’re chatting about Renny Harlin’s English language debut, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master! How great is this Freddy-assisting dog that pees fire? Did we really need to start the movie with a Bible quote, when a scroll about the lore of the Dream Master would’ve been much more helpful? How cool is the big Freddy soul escape sequence at the end? And should Joey’s parents have bought him that water bed? PLUS: Did Wishbone the Literature Dog flirt with human women on that show?
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master stars Robert Englund, Lisa Wilcox, Tuesday Knight, Brooke Theiss, Toy Newkirk, Andras Jones, Danny Hassel, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, and Jake as Jason the Dog; directed by Renny Harlin.

And don’t miss our worldwide digital event on October 23 where we’re talking Scream 4! Can’t make it the night of? The show has a 14-day replay window after the broadcast! And for our Patreon subscribers at the $8 & up, the After Party Q&A bundle comes free with purchase of a ticket to the show!
