ReplyDeleteHis mind, man. His mind. Just like Elm Street 2's a metaphor for confused sexuality, H3's a tender story about alcoholism.
"I need a drink," Tom Atkins' character repeatedly says, as he starts seeing bugs and snakes crawling out of people's heads. Yep.

ReplyDeleteOh.
But I thought The Lost Weekend was kinda dumb, and full of manipulative 40's propaganda. Like, a well-made version of Reefer Madness, but for alcohol. Liquor... Madness.
Point being, I drink all the time and I never see bugs. Only more attractive women.
... And furthermore, I remember Nightmare on Elm Street 2 also being not very good.
Er, uh

ReplyDeleteSo true. But if you *stopped* with the bathtub gin habit, a rapid onset of the DTs would bless you with some Tom Atkins-style insectoids. Better than a dead baby crawling on the ceiling? Maybe.
NoES2 = one of the underrated slasher sequels, even if the director himself steadfastly denies the sexuality subtext.
