Freddy's Nightmares

I am a huge fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street movie series Freddy Keuger has given me nightmares from a young age but I honestly never had another Freddy nightmare after I watched Episode 2 (It's a Miserable Life) of Freddys Nightmares when just five minutes into the episode Freddy emerged out of a deep fat fryer with a one liner about fast food and a cheesy laugh it was difficult to ever find Freddy Keuger scary again after seeing that.

Freddys Nightmares was made in the late 80s for TV and there isn't a whole lot of Freddy himself in the episodes he's more like the Crypt Keeper from the TV show (Tales from the Crypt) he introduces the episode and ends them but that's pretty much it the show itself is more like Nightmare on Elm Street meets the Twilight Zone each episode focuses on different characters who end up in their own personal nightmares some are a bit disturbing such as one character waking up in the middle of surgery and the surgeon is sawing the top of their head off or walking into a hospital morgue and seeing limbs being chopped up by a mad doctor but for the most part the show is more a campy parody of the Nightmare series there are some good episodes that are genuinely creepy and a few that just leave you scratching your head wondering what you have been watching for the last 40 minutes but if your a Freddy fan or just enjoy campy 80s TV shows then you will enjoy Freddys Nightmares just don't expect it to be full of Robert England as Freddy because you will be disappointed.
