Welcome to Elm Street Revisited, a new Dread Central podcast interviewing the Dream Masters responsible for directing sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street.

In our first episode, host Josh Korngut sits down with A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors director Chuck Russell, the visionary filmmaker who redefined Freddy Krueger for a generation. Together, they revisit the making of one of horror’s most beloved sequels — from Freddy’s evolution into a pop-culture icon, to the film’s groundbreaking practical effects, and the creative tension that fueled its surreal dreamscapes.

Russell opens up about working with a young Patricia Arquette, collaborating with Wes Craven on the script, and how Dream Warriors became the template for a decade of supernatural slashers to follow.

This episode marks the beginning of Elm Street Revisited — a special Development Hell event series interviewing the living directors behind the Nightmare on Elm Street saga.
