#WesCraven wanted to do meta horror since writing for Dream Warriors and finally got there with #NewNightmare before starting the meta franchise Scream. But there are several examples of meta horror that we’ve already discussed & plenty more out there that point the cameras back on the genre. 📺
Before meta horror was a buzzword, #WesCraven reimagined #FreddyKrueger in his most sinister form yet, escaping the screen to haunt the real world. Not just another sequel, #NewNightmare is a bold, self-aware, dark reflection on horror, storytelling, and the cost of playing with monsters. 📺
Heather Langenkamp has always put up a fight against her demons in the Nightmare franchise. But sometimes art imitates life, like when she took a break from acting due to a stalker, which was a plot point in New Nightmare. So as Wes put it, “Thanks for having the guts to play Nancy one last time.” 📺
