Welcome back to the series where I post the behind-the-scenes details of our Just Scare Me Horror Shorts.

Mother’s Milk was an all-out success for Erica and me. We had many goals to meet under our criteria: To shoot a shorter and much cheaper short, but I also wanted to use it to further strengthen my writing skills. Mission Accomplished. Except, the Just Scare Me “Machine” keeps on moving and with this next short, I wanted to make something that had never been made before. And I found the perfect inspiration for our next short: my old roommate, Alex.

35- “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” #52PickUp

It’s that time again; Halloween Season! And since I’m a few weeks behind (and I have more than four Halloween-themed movies to watch) I’ve decided to begin early.

When I decided that I would watch classic films from my childhood, I knew that a film from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series had to be included.

What I didn’t realize was how difficult it would be to choose. See, I love all of them, as Freddy Krueger is my favorite horror villain (yes, even over Jason), and each film has its own personality. One of my favorites was the sixth film in the series: Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, but I didn’t think it represented what I enjoyed about the series, even though the dreams are awesome, and the kills are unique (first comics, and now video games, yo!).

Then it hit me. What better way to fully represent not only the film’s history, but my love of fourth-wall breaking and the idea of creating film and the mythos involved, but to talk about the seventh film:
