A Nightmare on Elm Street
Teenagers Nancy, Quentin, Kris, Jesse and Dean are all neighborhood friends who begin having the same dream of a horribly disfigured man who wears a tattered sweater and a glove made of knives.

neutral · AI labelView post →Glen from A Nightmare on Elm Street should have been a lesbian. Change nothing about the script and cast an angsty edgy girl in that role. Better movie.

Lee used the same photo with a different caption "Nightmare on Waltz [sic] Street" (this is, of course, a sophomoric, extremely callous, and sadistic play on the film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' – and Lee misspells Minnesota governor Tim Walz's name).

I’m still convinced New Line Cinema distributed FWWM hoping it would be an avant-garde version of their surreal horror film series.
