A MAD LOOK AT NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)
dir: Wes Craven
MAD #274, October 1987
w & a: Sergio Aragones
More horror parodies for Halloween. You don't need to have seen the movies for this, a franchise with sequels and remakes. All you really need to know is Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) haunts people in their dreams
This German cover copies the American cover they did for their Planet of the Apes parody.
Here were a couple covers for Cracked Monster Party. In the lower right hand corner is Morton Downey Jr. because he was popular and pro-wrestling conservatism was still considered a joke.
A friend of mine made this video about how Freddy Krueger's lost his bite since the eighties.
Cracked did one of the Elm Street movies, Freddy's Dead, in Cracked Monster Party. It was the cover story in #15, and was reprinted in #22 and #33.
