In 1978, Michael Myers slashed the way for countless icons of horror. Jason would soon follow and in 1984, Freddy Kruger snuck onto the scene by infecting the nightmares of teens in Springwood, Ohio in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street. After a successful first hit and a critical failure of a second, Freddy returned in 1987 in what is arguably the best film of the Elm Street franchise: Dream Warriors. When teens at Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital are plagued by Freddy, they find an ally in Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp returning from the 1984 film). Battling a bitchy no-nonsense nurse, Nancy and Dr. Neil Gordon must figure out how to help the teens harness their dream powers before Freddy puts them to sleep for good! Rocking a kick-ass soundtrack by Dokken, Dream Warriors launched Freddy from low budget horror villain to pop culture icon. Can the kids win the day? Why are the women in this movie so bitchy? What the hell is a Malaysian dream doll? Join Cordell and Lucas in this week's review!
