About this Event
Fear keeps you awake in A Nightmare on Elm Street, an ingenious, jauntily outrageous shocker that turns sleep itself into the danger. Wes Craven upends the familiar, dragging horror into the bedroom, where you’re safe only so long as you don’t fall asleep.
Join James Lugosi (@livelovelugosi) and Alice Boyd-Leslie (@drunkenhorrorpodcast) for Hungover & Haunted, a screening series dedicated to the strange and the sublime in horror cinema.

The night begins with A Nightmare on Elm Street, in which a group of teenagers are haunted in their dreams by Freddy Krueger, a burned killer who was hunted down and killed, only to return in sleep. Stay awake and you’re safe. Fall asleep and you’re his. As exhaustion takes hold, the boundary between nightmare and reality begins to break down.
A cheerfully crass, black-comic horror with a streak of outrageous invention, where surreal dream logic, sudden violence and a killer in a hat and clawed glove turn fear into something as entertaining as it is unsettling.
