A Nightmare on Elm Street super-fan Diandra Lazor is back with a brand new episode of her YouTube show “Snacks N’ Screams,” a hilarious movie review series that takes a look at horror classics through a highly unique lens. Diandra doesn’t just review a movie in each episode, she also chows down on a movie-themed snack – or, in this particular case, a television series!
“Snacks N’ Screams” Episode 5 is a special one because Diandra is covering the 80s anthology series “Freddy’s Nightmares” this time, which is now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX streaming service. The horror anthology series had been impossible to watch (officially) for decades, and we’ve been thrilled to bring it back into the world.
Based on one of horror’s most storied franchises, “Freddy’s Nightmares” is an anthology series starring the original Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund. Airing from 1988 to 1990, each episode tells a different story of a dark rooted and grim nature that takes place in this fictitious town on Elm Street; the same setting as the A Nightmare on Elm Street films.
The series picks up where the Elm Street films left off, with Krueger terrorizing the citizens of his hometown and taking his revenge out through their dreams.
Of particular note, the pilot episode of the series, titled “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, acts as an official prequel to Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and was directed by the late Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist)!
Diandra reviews both the pilot episode and its sequel episode, titled “Sister’s Keeper,” on “Snacks N’ Screams” this week, and you can check out her hilarious review in the video below!
