This time the terror doesn’t stop at the screen.
The second film in our Sunday Scaries lineup for August is Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, presented by Play It By Fear!
Partially a sequel and partially a satire, New Nightmare follows Heather Langenkamp as a fictionalized version of herself as she discovers that Freddy Krueger has escaped the world of movies and entered our own. What unfolds is one of the smartest and most ambitious horror films of the 1990s about the monsters we create for ourselves.
Only two years after the release of this movie, Craven would make Scream, which is where Hollywood really became obsessed with meta-horror. But New Nightmare is a much more unsettling beast that deserves to be re-discovered on the big screen!
