  <itunes:subtitle>9... 10... we can sleep again because, at long last, Freddy's Dead. For real this time. We mean it. This episode we nod off with Rick Firestone of the Pixel Project Radio podcast to eulogize the undisputed roastmaster of horror, Freddy Krueger. This entry is one of the most unwieldy in the franchise, but it still carries the series' flare for wild, imaginative dream sequences, and the most one-liners of any slasher film. </itunes:subtitle>
