   Night Killer (1990) + Kane Head High

   For Episode 2 of Nightmares on Tap, we dive headfirst into Night Killer—a baffling, chaotic gem from Troll 2 director Claudio Fragasso (aka Clyde Anderson). It’s part slasher, part psychodrama, and completely unhinged, featuring rubber claws, confused identities, and TWO PHONE LINES in the house.

   A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) + Dead Guy Ale

   Welcome to the very first episode of Nightmares on Tap! We’re starting strong—with Freddy Krueger, Johnny Depp’s cheekbones, and a Dead Guy Ale from Rogue Brewing (Newport, Oregon) in hand. This week, we revisit A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)—the slasher classic that built New Line Cinema—and dive into dream logic, dad toupees, and the questionable ethics of ignoring your screaming girlfriend. We also unpack Freddy’s odd running style, Glenn’s dinosaur poster, and whether Nancy’s gray streak was lifted from the X-Men’s Rogue.
