Beyond The Mask: The Third Act
Season 1
Who is REPLACING Robert Englund as Freddy?
The Rise & Fall of the Slasher Genre
by Beyond The Mask
A Nightmare on Elm Street is set to return to the big screen after many years of remaining a dormant property. Today, I break down the history of the franchise & discuss the latest leaks regarding the film and who should replace Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
The slasher genre of the 1980's looks very different from what it does today in 2026. In the first episode of the series, I deep dive into the long history of the genre and discuss how it shaped Hollywood, how it was revived time and time again, and how an element of it is lost forever.
I know this isn't something I do. But I just wanted to talk about Hayden Panettiere and how devastating her passing has been. Her legacy. Her career and all the joy she brought to her performances. Come and chat with me?
