OMG! Whatever ya'll did to Gilberto in this episode you should keep doing! LOL! You were very passionate about the difference between the ideas of "freddy's ghost" vs. a demonic haunting that was brought on by this horrific chain of events. I like the idea of this being like a scar on the town! Wow! I never looked at it this way! I guess that's the good part about being a kid, we just didn't need so much EXPOSITION! GDAMN! There sure is a lot of exposition these days, sort of like this is some sort of short cut to good storytelling, like, lets get this story business out of the way so we don't have to worry about it!  Think of movies like, Idk, say, Die Hard, from the 80s, for example... How much time did we spend going over their divorce? Not a whole lot... Today, that would be the first half of the movie! Hey! It's getting close to XMas, Ill be dusting these off soon! Anyway, fun episode....but I REALLY think you should break the Freddy's Nightmares series down one episode at a time. I think your fan base demands this TVAMD. Lets get a real TVAMD in Freddy Vision! What do you say!?! <333 |

I think the secret to that Gilberto is vodka. You can almost smell it on this episode.
Andrew summed up the exposition thing pretty well in the first Drunk 'n' Dead: "You think this and I think that and that's what we're saying 'cause we're saying everything..." That's a really funny reductive way of saying it.
I'm pretty pleased with the ideas we discuss on this show, but I never imagined we'd say the word "molest" quite as much as did in this one. "He molested their brains out" is not a phrase I'm particularly proud of.
I think we've done all we can for the Nightmare series. One last episode to talk about Freddy's Nightmares is more than most people ever asked for or wanted.
