March 09, 2022 / Christopher Schrader

The Dream Master is sort of the dividing line between the first six films in the Elm Street franchise, but the question is: which side does it fall on? Is this the last good entry or the first bad one? Let’s find out!

Topics include: Wes Craven’s original pitch for the film, how a writer’s strike forced them to make a lot of this up as they went along, director Renny Harlin’s incredible persistence when it came to landing this gig and the methods he employed to separate this one from past installments, the apex of Freddy Krueger’s popularity and his expansion into other media, and much more!
