Today here on Halloween Love, we continue our ongoing celebration of the 30th anniversary of Freddy Krueger’s birth by stepping a tad bit outside of the box, to look back on a short-lived television series that can in many ways be considered a spin-off of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. A spin-off in spirit, …
The year we currently find ourselves in is of course 2014, which means that 30 years have passed since the calendar read 1984. That is, if I’m doing the math correctly. I never was very good with numbers… 1984 was one of the greatest years in the history of the horror genre, giving birth to …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images that I’ve stumbled across on social media this past week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! This week started off with the incredibly sad …
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Freddy Krueger’s arrival on the scene, and you better believe that we’re going to be celebrating his birth here on Halloween Love, throughout the year.

One day during 2007 I casually walked into my local branch of WHSmith (a UK based newsagents) and instantly saw something truly wonderful sitting on a top shelf … NO, not porn! … It was a magazine sealed in a plastic bag, and attached to the cover was a small lead figurine of Mr Freddy …
When it comes to horror fans, you’re either a Freddy guy or you’re a Jason guy, and I’ve always been more of a Freddy guy. My love affair with Freddy began in my early formative years, and I have many fond memories of renting, watching, returning and then quickly re-renting and re-watching A Nightmare on …
As I mentioned in the recent past, one of my goals here on Halloween Love is to continue some of the more popular recurring features from my blog Freddy In Space, and one thing I absolutely loved to talk about on there was custom-made toys; the kinds of toys that companies like McFarlane, NECA and …
Freddy Krueger (from A Nightmare on Elm Street) is coming as a DLC (Downloadable Content) playable character for the latest Mortal Kombat video game.
