More of a haunted house and possession movie, Freddy's Revenge was rushed into production after the success of the first film in the series. While its merits as a slasher movie and an entry in the Nightmare series are debatable, the not-so-subtle subtext about the main character has become what the movie is best known for. Listen as we discuss all of this and more as we look at A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's revenge in the second part of a ten-episode franchise retrospective for the Nightmare on Elm Street series!
