Houston! Join Me For NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: THE DREAM WARRIORS Tonight!
Tonight! Alamo Drafthouse Houston Vintage Park, 7:45. Join me for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. If you think it's amazingly random that I'm hosting Dream Warriors, you haven't been paying attention. (I forgive you.) Every Wednesday in April, we're hosting a new Nightmare at Vintage Park, and I'm excited about every... last... one of them.
By the time his third film rolled around, Freddy was already the toast of Hollywood. Fancy cars, beautiful women, wild parties…the works. But rather than rest on his horror-laurels, the celebrated slashmaster unleashed the masterpiece of his career. DREAM WARRIORS’ artistic and financial success catapulted high school homicide to the top of the sub-studio heap, creating a template for countless imitators and paving the way for decreasingly entertaining sequels and a recent, steaming brown remake. But none of those depressors can tarnish this powerblast of ‘80s mayhem, featuring the Bastard Son of a Thousand Maniacs taking on a bevy of mentally ill teenagers who nocturnally transform into wizards, marionettes and punk rock knifewielders. Genre superhuman John Saxon co-stars in the most action-packed rampager of the series. Dear Freddy Krueger – Before your shitty, pathetic decline, you inpired a nation of 12-year-old boys to idolize a horribly burned child-rapist. Tonight, we honor you once more.
So meet me for some sleepy fun (am I the only one who gets tired watching all of those teenagers flight sleep for 100 minutes?), and on the 30th I'll be hosting New Nightmare, because I know what you want, baby.
