Freddy’s Nightmares!

Gonna run an episode of Freddy’s Nightmares tonight. It’s just so perfect for Dino Drac After Dark’s vibe — especially on a weekend!

The syndicated series typically aired late on Saturday nights, on whatever you considered the next-to-worst channel on your hand-me-down bedroom television. It was neither conventionally good nor objectively popular, but that’s become part of its charm.

It almost seemed to exist as a lark, as if it were some living scratchpad for writers, directors and actors to do weird shit without worrying much about the consequences.

The episode in question: Freddy’s Tricks and Treats, which doubled as the show’s Halloween special.

I sooo love the image of you landing here as a last resort after you’ve bled your other online haunts dry, and actually watching Freddy’s Nightmares as it was intended: Late on a Saturday night, alone, and probably while eating cereal straight from the box.

Enjoy!
