Plots(1)
After the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984, many a movie that moulded together slasher thrills and supernatural chills was rushed into production - from Slaughterhouse Rock to The Horror Show and Wes Craven's own Shocker. None, however, were quite as notable nor as notorious as the bombastic blood-spiller Bad Dreams from 1987, which roped in its own Freddy Krueger alumni with sexy Scream Queen starlet Jennifer Rubin. Also starring the late, great B-thespian Richard Lynch as a Jim Jones-style reverend who begins to avenge his creepy cult of followers from beyond-the-grave, Bad Dreams features some frantic and ferocious special effects, plenty of tormented teens and some of the finest frights of its decade!
