In 1985 my dad bought the family a VCR for Christmas, and one of the first movies we rented was A Nightmare on Elm Street. We watched it Christmas Eve night, and I remember being terrified and afraid to go to sleep that night because I was sure Freddy was …

Set to a moody and awesome song by Tuesday Knight, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master begins with the words: “When deep sleep falleth on men, fear came upon me. And trembling which made all my bones to shake -Job IV, 13-14.” That’s really about as deep as …
