168: One, Two, Freddy's Coming for You + Robert Englund

We're sneaking one in under the wire before next week's mid-season premiere! And after having a great talk at Walker Stalker Con with horror icon Robert Englund, how could we not? Join me and special guest Merri as we talk about A Nightmare on Elm Street, one of my favorite classic 80's horror flicks. Then listen in as Mr. Englund goes in-depth about:

• Behind-the-scenes info on the making of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
• How he developed Freddy’s movements.
• What he would’ve liked to see in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
• Under what circumstances he’d play Freddy again.
• What he’s been working on lately.
• A lot more!

We also have a meaty news section with the latest on The Walking Dead, and of course your great emails and calls.

Don't get your wrists torn open by a homicidal maniac who gleefully haunts your dreams!
