1987 TV Broadcast of Elm Street!

The Purple Stuff Podcast is back, and we’ve brought the big man with us. Fred Krueger, Mom, FRED KRUEGER.

Grab a ratty blanket and find a spot on the berber carpet, because we’re about to march you through a 1987 network television broadcast of A Nightmare on Elm Street!

From an era when movies running on “plain” TV were still big events, we’re celebrating an all-time great horror classic with observations, trivia and a closer look at Freddy himself. We’re also diving into many of the TV commercials that aired during this broadcast, covering everything from Pizza Hut to Sesame Street dolls!
