Freddy's Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street - Die Serie

Very similar to other series of similar nature like Tales from the Crypt and Hitchcock earlier. Roles within relationships and the familiy within a capitalist culture are common themes the scripts revolve around. Vanity and power struggle often central, ultimately leading to the premature deaht of the characters. From this perspective theyre is a moral values, christian in nature, twist to the series. Freddy take on justice for a social Faux pas is a comically grotesque death served up with one of his infamous cheesey one liners.. I only saw a few episodes when I was young and am now really enjoying the full series I recently got hold of. They are fairly well written but its really a nostalgic journey for me back to the 80s. What can you say, the 80s was a strange time, when even grisley fictional charaters like Freddy Kruger could become a cultural icons.Its part of being an 80s baby lol. Its hard to find a series as emblematic of the 80s as this, from the culture struggle of social identity, to the hair cuts, music and sets. Having a morbid sense of humour was also an essential social must.
