  • Cutting Deep into Horror | A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) — Wes Craven’s Slasher Masterpiece with Freddy Krueger
    Oct 10 2025
    Halloween watchlist essential! We sink our claws into one of the most iconic horror films ever made: Wes Craven’s 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi revisit Freddy Krueger’s terrifying debut, exploring how this razor-fingered dream stalker redefined the slasher genre and haunted a generation of horror fans.

    Inside this episode, Henrique and Rachael share their first encounters with the film—late-night VHS terrors and the exhilaration of discovering horror’s most surreal monster. They break down:
    • The legacy of Wes Craven — how his unique vision fused nightmares and reality.
    • Freddy Krueger’s origins — a vengeful ghost, a product of parental sins, and an enduring cultural boogeyman.
    • Themes of fear and adolescence — how suburban safety hides lurking generational trauma.
    • Dream sequences & surreal imagery — why they still feel terrifying decades later.
    • The franchise’s evolution — from Freddy’s pure horror roots to his shift into dark comedy across sequels.
    Whether you first saw it huddled at a sleepover or discovered it on late-night TV, A Nightmare on Elm Street still cuts to the bone. Join Henrique and Rachael for a spirited, insightful discussion that blends nostalgia, cultural analysis, and a few laughs along the way.

  • Feed Drop: Urban Legends — The Satanic Panic (True Crime History)
    Oct 9 2025
    True Halloween Horrors for your Spooky Season!

    In this chapter, let's delve into the urban legends that brought forward what is now known as 'The Satanic Panic‘, from the first sensational cases and flawed investigations to the media frenzy and courtrooms that followed. We’ll look at how fear, politics, and culture combined to create a moral wildfire, one that still echoes in today’s conspiracy movements.

Absolutely disgusting that this podcast would spread an Urban Legend from the AIDS epidemic that stigmatized people with the disease. This perpetuates harmful stereotypes and marginalizes an already vulnerable population. Followed this podcast for a long time, not anymore. Grow up. Do better.
