16- Cabin Fever
This one's about a corporate weasel guy freaking out and hallucinating on an airplane about terrorists, his dad, his company, sex in the lavatory, you name it. This episode throws everything against the wall but none of it sticks.
The second half at least builds some tension. It's about his fiancee (well, ex-fiancee- the guy dies) being tormented and terrorized by some backwoods folks out in the country. You ever notice there are no normal rural people in horror movies?
Freddy has a scene where he's making wisecracks while sitting on the wing of the plane like the demon in the classic TWILIGHT ZONE episode "Terror at 20,000 Feet." This episode isn't worthy to lick that episode's pinky toe.
It's worth noting for ELM STREET buffs (who else would be reading this?) that the leading lady in this episode was Tracy, the tough female lead, in FREDDY'S DEAD. Also, Freddy himself (Robert Englund) directed this episode. And, except for parts of the second half, he does nothing special here.
