Odds are, you have watched the first half of “Stranger Things” season 4. Many fans have now picked up on the similarities between this season and the Nightmare on Elm franchise. Should we call it “Stranger Things On Elm Street?” Let’s break it down. First, all of the kids targeted by Vecna (this season’s big bad) are plagued by terrifying dreams. Sound familiar? Next, and the most obvious connection, is that Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, makes several appearances this season. Englund plays Victor Creel in the series, a man accused of murdering his family and children. Of course, we all know that Krueger was a child killer, but there’s more. Freddy is scarred when he was lit on fire, and Creel’s face is heavily scarred in the act of self-mutilation. In Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy started as a man and was sent into the dream world when he died. In “Stranger Things,” Vecna started as a man raised

From director Sean King O’Grady (Dinner In America) comes the horror film We Need To Do Something, headed to Blu-ray this June. In the film, a dysfunctional family retreats to a bathroom during a storm, not knowing the hell that awaits them when they find themselves trapped with the walls closing in. Sierra McCormick stars as Melissa, a teen with a history of mental illness and a girlfriend who is a witch. John James Cronin plays the role of Melissa’s sheltered, babied little brother. Vinessa Shaw plays the role of a loving mother who puts up with too much shit from their severely alcoholic, verbally abusive father, played by Pat Healy. Being locked in a room with him is enough to drive anyone crazy. As the film unfolds, we see real-life horrors, supernatural ones, and a monster, voiced by Ozzy Osbourne.
