Well #MutantFam, we stayed up until 2 A.M. on a weeknight watching Joe Bob talking about Freddy vs. Jason.

Our middle school selves would be proud of the adults we become.

Just out of curiosity, has anybody checked to see if Kane Hodder is doing OK tonight

Man, hearing Joe Bob talk about Korn in the year 2025 is just the craziest thing

One of the many #FreddyvsJason scripts that never got made would've been a PROCEDURAL COURTROOM DRAMA and I literally lament that every single day of my life

Literally everybody in my age group has a great story about seeing Freddy vs. Jason in theaters back in the day. Alright, #MutantFam, I'll tell you my lore if you tell me yours ...

Like, even if you love Elm Street you've got to admit that is one of the WORST endings for anything ever

Yo, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Home Alone really *are* the same movie.

Not only is "Dream Warriors" the best Elm Street movie, as far as I'm concerned it's the ONLY Elm Street movie.

Like, I know this wasn't the intent, but rewatching this movie kinda makes me miss talking on landline phones.

Not enough time for the Drive-In Totals.

Plenty of time for a three-minute discussion about the Balinese lucid dreaming technique.

Gee mom, thanks for letting me watch A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was just five years old like you we're preparing me to cover murder trials for a living 30 years later

Fun fact: the wacky doctor in Elm Street 1 is also the voice of Roger Rabbit.

Honestly, they should just replace AMC with nonstop Monstervision reruns at this point
