Elm Street Coming to the Windy City

The remake of Nightmare on Elm Street continues to roll along.  Earlier this month it was revealed that Jackie Earle Haley would fill Freddy’s razor-fingered glove.

Now it’s been announced that the filming location for the new Elm Street will be in none other than my hometown of Chicago and students from two local suburban high schools are being given the opportunity to get in on the act.

Personally I’m not sure how I’d feel about being an active participant in the film series that fueled so many of my adolescent nightmares.  That said, the Krueger movies are one of the reasons I got into the horror genre and a part of me thinks it might be pretty cool, and possibly therapeutic, to have the chance to be eviscerated by the gloved wonder himself.

It’s probably for the best that I’m too old to qualify since I no longer have the time to spend night after night avoiding sleep at all costs or the constitution to consume can after can of Coke in order to do so.

That level of fright is best left to the young or at least people less jumpy and accident prone than yours truly.
