Oh, Hello now playing listeners and happy Halloween

but since it was Halloween that we might give you a treat of a fun-sized

podcast today. Not a very long show, but this was a request made on Twitter or I guess it's now called X.

If you've been following us on Twitter or on the Facebook now playing group, you may know that this October I've been going

through a bit of a nightmare on Elm Street phase our Alamo draft house

cinemas have opened back up down here, I'm really happy to say, and they showed three of the Nightmare on Elm Street films.

They showed the original, which I had seen in theaters before, but decided to go back and see it again.

They showed Dream Warriors which I'd never seen in theaters before and then they showed

West Craven's New Nightmare, which I hadn't seen since we reviewed that film back in 2010.

Thought I'd give it a re-evaluation, see it with fresh eyes.

spoiler alert, I thought the same about it now as I did in 2010 and you can hear that

review in the now-playing podcast archives. But in addition to seeing these

films on the big screen it's really reinvigorated my Freddie

fandom that you can hear me talk about on the podcasts. No I didn't wear

cosplay to any of the screenings but I've been listening to the soundtracks.

I've been watching interviews because the 40th anniversary 4K Nightmare on Elm Street disc just came out so Robert England and Heather Lengen

camp have been all around on social media promoting that release and I just

found myself going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole

of researching things that I started to wonder about these movies and strangely enough I started

to hyper fixate on the modulation they did to Freddie's voice in the various films.

If you've ever heard Robert England speak, it is not with a Freddie voice even when he does the Freddie

character here you can hear him talking as Freddie it doesn't sound like Freddie. Robert England, Bobby England, what do I think of that wimp, that loser, that screen actors guild peanut?
