Bad Dreams (1988): A Nightmare on Elm Street's Twin?

Is "Bad Dreams" (1988) the long-lost sibling of "A Nightmare on Elm Street"? We couldn’t help but notice the eerie similarities while diving into this hidden gem during this week’s horror movie review podcast. Packed with cult vibes, trippy flashbacks, and some seriously gruesome kills, this flick offers a unique twist on the late-'80s horror scene. Plus, with Harris Yulin and Jennifer Rubin at the helm, it’s got some star power to back up the chills.

We explore everything from the film’s nightmare-fueled visuals to its unexpected twists and turns. Is it a rip-off or a clever homage to Freddy Krueger's reign of terror? Tune in as we unravel "Bad Dreams" and the mysterious role of its cult leader, played by the unforgettable Richard Lynch.
