‘Wes Craven’s New Nightmare’ Freddy Toy Coming This Summer
The 1994 meta slasher Wes Craven’s New Nightmare is actually the very first film in the Nightmare franchise that I saw. Kinda backwards, to put it mildly, but that film really blew me away and to this day I think it’s incredibly smart and pretty damn scary! I knew going in that the Freddy Krueger I was going to see wasn’t the same Freddy that started off the series but I still can’t help but wish that this Freddy was the one that’d been throughout the franchise. He was dark and mean, his one-liners and jokes more vicious and mean spirited, and he simply looked fucking terrifying. God, I love that movie!
NECA today announced that it is bringing us that Freddy, the one that got me hooked, this summer and they’ve got pictures of the iconic slasher in action!
NECA explains:
The seventh film in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise took the iconic character in a more menacing direction – closer to Craven’s original intentions for Freddy. This 7″ scale figure features a completely new and improved sculpt with over 25 points of articulation. It comes with an alternate head and removable hat.
Which Freddy do you prefer, the original or the one from New Nightmare?

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
