80's Movie Weekend



Back in 1984 a movie came out that scared the bejesus out of me and made me not want to ever fall asleep again... that's right, gruesome, burnt up Freddy Krueger came and visited the sleeping kids of Elm Street with his razor blade fingers and perverted sense of humor... as we close in on Halloween, let's revisit the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street"...
