Nightmare on Craven Street. Discussing "Scream" and Freddy Krueger movies in "The Caretaker"

In the symbolic 13th episode of the 3rd season of The Watcher, Mikhail Volnykh and Alexei Khromov discuss two movie universes at once - a horror movie about Freddy Krueger "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and a youth thriller "Scream". The hosts tell who and how came up with a maniac in a striped sweater and a hat, where the Ghostface mask came from, like "Scream" laid the foundation for the meta-humor and self-irony that we now see in every second film, and also what lies ahead for these two popular series.
