I've seen and own the Never Sleep Again documentary and they do indeed talk about Freddy's Nightmares in one segment. Wow. I sure hate that I don't remember them talking about the show. It's been a while since I had seen the documentary. |

Always like the intro. Pure late 80’s early 90’s I LOVE the intro. |

It's a shame Robert Englund was never a guest star on TFTC. He would've been perfect, and how awesome it would've been for him in his Freddy garb to have shared a segment with the Crypt Keeper. That would've been all kinds of AWESOME!!! |

Yes, a lot of the same crew who worked on Freddy's Nightmares moved onto TFTC. Kevin Yagher who designed the Crypt Keeper also did Freddy's make-ups in Nightmares 2-4. He definitely did the best Freddy make-ups IMO, they were always very gruesome-looking and realistic. I absolutely agree. Kevin Yagher is criminally underrated when it comes to make up effects and creature design. |

He's also quite a good director, having directed Strung Along and Lower Berth for TFTC. Shame he hasn't much directed but it's understandable if his rather difficult experience making Hellraiser: Bloodline soured him on further directing ventures.

Yeah I’ve noticed there are a lot of really good directors who only actually directed limited movies/tv shows for whatever reason

He also directed the Crypt Keeper segments in the first five seasons of TFTC.

I miss the syndicated shows.shows like Hercules and Renegade. Lately I have been watching old episodes of Renegade which was an action/vigilante show which there were a lot of in the 90’s but this one had a western feel to it

I remember Renegade. I didn't really watch it back then but remember it was fairly popular back in the day. I remember Hercules and Xena were both very popular back then.

Yeah Renegade was very popular with audiences but not with critics. My wife and I have been watching it(her for the first time) and me for the First time since 97 and it took her a few episodes to realize that the main character Played by Lorenzo Lamas played the jock in Grease her favorite movie

I can't remember if it aired on either the USA or UPN network back ten. USA I watched a fair amount back in the day, largely because of Up All Night. Such fun memories of that.

USA Network had a lot of good programming back then, even with some of their cheesy original movies.

Yeah the USA network I think had Swamp Thing which I watched as a kid. Looking back it was a pretty awful but back then I loved it

I remember both the live-action and animated Swamp Thing shows and remember back in the early 90s Swamp Thing was pretty popular. I had much of the toyline but unfortunately lost many of the toys and parts.
