HEATHER LANGENKAMP: Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Saved by Wes Craven & Pushing Horror Boundaries

Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Dream Warriors) joins us this week to share her experience as one of the most iconic scream queens as Nancy in A Nightmare on Elm Street and what her opinion of horror as a genre has turned into. Heather opens up and shares her struggles losing a child to brain cancer, and why Mike Flanagan’s script in Midnight Club resonated so much with her at that time. We also talk about her sacrifice during the making of Dawn of the Dead, what it was like working with a young Johnny Depp, and how Wes Craven saved her multiple times in her career.

Om Podcasten

I’m Michael Rosenbaum, I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades in and out of film and television - mostly known for playing the bald dude on the show Smallville. I’m the guy that you probably don’t know by name, but when you see my face you might say “oh, that guy from that thing.” I’ve befriended some of the most talented people in the business, but it wasn’t until I started inviting them into my home that I realized, I didn’t really know these people. What started as me having some fun, quickly evolved into something I’ve fallen in love with. What I’ve discovered is that all these people aren’t that different from you and me. They have the same insecurities and flaws that we all deal with every day. In a dark, yet enlightening way... I find a lot of comfort in that. I invite you all to join me while I get inside each of these fascinating people.
