  • Wes Craven’s Nightmare On Elm Street

  • Dead Man: On the Horizon or In your Head
    They would like you to believe in a world that is ‘flat’. No, it is not even such a wondrous idea as that of an immense intergalactic road-roller flattening our planet into a double-spread.

I am sure I’m gonna have lots of fun! I was about 10 when I saw “Edward Scissorhands”...
