The Last Theater

Taking the series to goofy extremes, Freddy's Dead dove deeper into the titular character's history than any of the previous Nightmare movies. But is it any good?

Show Notes

It was the sixth entry in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, and it was promised to show us the actual, final death of Freddy Krueger. Is Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare a worthy exit for an iconic slasher, or is it a step too far away from Wes Craven's original idea for it to feel like any sort of satisfying closure for the series? Find out in the sixth episode of The Last Theater's complete Nightmare on Elm Street franchise retrospective!

What is The Last Theater?

Join chris and Joey as they explore the dark, forgotten side of film. From horror and exploitation, to b-movies, cult, trash cinema, and everything in-between, The Last Theater shows how even the movies mainstream audiences might find worthless have value. With reviews and discussions covering films and topics within the realm of the more extreme and often dismissed side of cinema, chris and Joey illuminate the vital role these types of films play in the larger pantheon of movie history.

Every movie has its audience, and every movie has value. One person's trash cinema is another person's treasure.
