Show Notes

In 1984, Wes Craven introduced a new kind of horror movie to audiences. In a world where silent, masked killers were falling out of favor with mainstream audiences, Freddy Krueger slipped into everyone's dreams with nightmarish charisma and creepiness. Though it was a movie that spawned a franchise of increasingly silly sequels, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street is a beautiful and terrifying work of art. Listen as chris and Joey discuss the first Nightmare movie in episode one of a ten part retrospective covering every single movie in the series!

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.
