Spotlight On: Anders Eriksen of Nightmare Gloves
Have you ever watched A Nightmare On Elm Street and thought “I would love to have a Freddy Glove of my own!!”. I came across Anders and his site a few years ago before I started Cinema Deviant. As soon as I started this site I knew that I wanted to let others know (that may not know) of Anders great work and beautifully crafted gloves. I reached out to Anders and he was kind enough to answer a few questions for Cinema Deviant
The Many Kills of Freddy Krueger
We all fear something and we all have nightmares. Growing up there was only one person I feared. Freddy Krueger. He stalked my dreams and my imagination almost daily. As I got much older I started to appreciate A Nightmare on Elm Street a bit more (especially the first one) and see the way he killed his victims in a different way. Yes it was gruesome but there was a twisted yet sense-of-humor filled way of doing it. Whether it was Freddy pulling someone into a bed, pulling them around like a puppet or morphing out of the TV and using the most memorable line “Welcome to Prime-time bitch!” it always ended with some sort of punchline. When a new Nightmare movie came out I always wondered “How is Freddy going to kill these people this time?”. As the franchise went on it became more comedic until 1994 when Wes Craven came back to the series he started and made Freddy scary again. Nine years later Freddy made his way back on to the screen in the fanboy battle film Freddy vs Jason. After that it was apparent that Mr. Krueger had made a comeback in 2010 a remake of the original Nightmare on Elm Street was released although without the involvement of longtime Freddy actor Robert Englund. As long as people have nightmares it’s be safe to say that Freddy will always be right around the corner.
Below is a pretty cool video I came across that complies pretty much every kill in the Nightmare series.
Movie Maniacs: Series 4
In 2001, the fourth series in Todd McFarlane’s highly succesful movie themed action figure line made its debut. By this time the line had reached its standard and was producing great, quality figures. The sculpt and detail on these were no different.
