Episode 9 - Heather Langenkamp "Freddy Haunts My Dreams" Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

Episode 9’s guest is Heather Langenkamp - actor, writer, producer, director, who famously defeated Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare On Elm Street.

More recently, Heather was seen in Star Trek Into Darkness, American Horror Story and Mike Flanagan’s The Midnight Club.

Show hosts are Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier, Return to Nuke 'Em High), James A Janisse (Kill Count, Dead Meat Podcast) and Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Suitable Flesh). Heather Langenkamp has some strong, surprising views on horror films that you won’t want to miss. Heather reveals a nightmare about Freddy’s tongue, and talks about how sexual content in horror scenes can affect the participants subconsciously. Catherine concurs about hyper sexualised roles and how you don’t realise what you carry with you. Heather finds watching horror movies very hard, and speculates that some taboos in horror films can actually break the bonds that hold society together. She asks how James can process having to watch so many horror films. We find out why Heather can never take a relaxing bath, and how focusing on small things such as helps her block out the horrors of the real world. And we touch on Heather’s upcoming movies, including Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck. For this week’s Side Barb, Barbara is conjured by a very special song, and we play a game where Heather has to escape a nightmare of the hosts’ imagining.

It's New Year, and Nick Antosca has some change-your-life tips we should probably all follow! Watch and find out. Nick comes in hot and enthused by his wild, intense nightmares. He talks about how we should all be grateful for the free entertainment of our bad dreams! Or maybe even monetize them, like he does! How journaling his dreams gives him a much better understanding of his own subconscious. Connections of dreams with meditation and ketamine therapy, plus child demons and mothers. Nick’s most horrific nightmare about being brutally executed, and how his family was behind it. We discover Nick’s healthy mental morning routines for creative work, and dealing with phone and email distractions. Plus why a state of hyper-vigilance is really bad for you, and the horror of the infinite scroll. Catherine is horrified by the iconic disgusting Tooth Child from Channel Zero. James talks about star gazing. Oh, and Nick’s cat is a French philosopher (naturellement!).

Tracie’s nightmares include terrifying encounters with dead relatives (prompting James to actually remember a nightmare he had!). We discuss weird animatronic Halloween decorations, and Tracie’s very specific routine for getting to sleep. In this week’s Side Barb, Barbara talks about her LA-based social ‘girl group’, which Tracie and Catherine are both part of. Skelly Sam gets a mini work-out in our Nightmare Story Game!
