If you run and hide in the closet whenever 80s supernatural horror films are mentioned, then you’ll want to listen to the A Nightmare on Elm Street episode of RUINED! Each installment, horror aficionado & host Halle Kiefer unpacks a different spooky film for her horror leery, but twist-inclined friend and co-host, Alison Leiby. The pick is perfectly suited to the month’s theme of “being a teen sucks” AND, in addition to getting the play by play on the movie, you will hear the hosts’ own embarrassing teen stories. If it’s not evident upon listen, the episode comes to you from a time before the podcast was formerly launched, so no complaining about it sounding different! Hey, your hosts have come a long way, baby!
Just when you thought there couldn’t be more news. You can look forward to a juicy ANNOUNCEMENT from the podcasters about something in the future. What is this? Christmas? Not quite. OK, now back to the scary. Halle hadn’t seen the movie before doing this episode, which is a shock in and of itself. As for Alison, seeing as the movie is still a cultural juggernaut, the co-host was able to quickly describe the main character in all his “Wolverine finger” and “chemical peel” face glory, right off the bat. Find out what else the duo has to say about this Wes Craven gem by clicking and listening below. Enjoy!
