Crack open the furnace with the Development Hell podcast as they unearth the never-made A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET prequel movie KRUEGER: THE FIRST KILLS. This was reportedly the Freddy Krueger origins film nearly created by John McNaughton (dir. HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER).

Also, learn about the other Freddy Krueger origin story directed by Tobe Hooper (dir. THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE) and even discover which Adam Sandler comedy was the ultimate reason KRUEGER: THE FIRST KILLS was never made.

With special guest Patrick O'Donnell.
