Episode 266 - A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (40th Anniversary)
Thursday, 27 November, 2025
Get ready for a deep dive into the making of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge as it marks its 40th year. We explore the film’s production, legacy, and how director Jack Sholder and writer David Chaskin shaped a chapter of the Elm Street saga that became a cult classic due in large part to its homoerotic themes and subject material. We reflect on how the film may have been misunderstood 40 years ago but has garnered a larger reassessment as it stands for something bigger within the horror genre. Joining in for this discussion is JC of mercwiththemovies who offers up considerable insight about this divisive second entry of the franchise. With performances from Mark Patton, Kim Myers, and Robert Rusler, plus Robert Englund’s chilling presence as Freddy Krueger, discover why A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge is a worthy entry of the franchise.Links For Guests: MercWithTheMoviesWhere To Watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge
