33- Dreams That Kill

This is a fairly cool episode, even though it's hammier than Porky Pig diving into a swimming pool of pepperoni.

It's about Freddy demanding a talk show host cancel a segment on dream deaths and then turning him into a catatonic vegetable when he refuses. Lotsa brutal torture going on after that since Freddy's pissed and the guy can't wake up. The second half has some half-baked science fiction action with the talk show host's brain cells (and nightmares about Freddy) being transfered into a crash victim's brain.

It's got some entertaining moments, though there's too much Freddy. This is one of the rare episodes where he has too much to do (he's usually only present for a few painful seconds to make some lame wisecracks) and it probably would have been more intense and creepy if he were in the shadows.
