If you haven't listened to Part One, STOP. Go listen and we'll be here when you get back. Dawn and Jen continue the tale of The Dream Master and The Dream Child. Budget shortfalls, crazy script issues and strangely progressive social stances combine in one great movie and one... well, they tried. They tried really hard. Freddy's middle years are a mixed bag of great kills, nonsensical plots, the wonderful Alice and a live-action Garbage Pail kid and the Women In Caskets are going to drag you through all of it.

Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25. Our heroines, Kristen and Alice, were also part of our look at Final Girls in Episode 2.
