New Nightmare (1994)

Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris get meta to talk about Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which celebrated its 30th anniversary.

Existing in the "real world," Heather Langenkamp plays herself, an actress in Los Angeles who has terrible nightmares about a darker and more sinister version of Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). Wes Craven is writing a new movie in the series, but it seems like his script is becoming a reality, and Freddy is threatening Heather and her son Dylan (Miko Hughes) to try and enter the real world. The guys discuss why Wes doesn't tell anyone something horrible will happen to them since he has prophetic dreams, Freddy's new look, the constant earthquakes, the crazy ending Freddy Temple, and more.

You can rent New Nightmare on services like Apple TV+. Next week, we're celebrating the 40th anniversary of one of our all-time favorite movies, The Terminator.
