In a fresh development, Elizabeth McGovern from Downton Abbey has been roped in for a significant part in Anne Rice’s The Talamasca series on AMC. This could potentially validate the speculations surrounding another recent casting news.

In the late ’70s and early ’80s, there was a significant increase in the creation of slasher films, with movies such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and The Burning becoming popular due to their depiction of a masked killer terrorizing teenagers. However, filmmaker Wes Craven flipped this concept upside down with A Nightmare on Elm Street, where high school students confronted the supernatural menace Freddy Krueger, who hunted them in their dreams. Even though it’s been over a decade since the last installment was released, the original 1984 version of the film continues to be as iconic as ever, largely due to the acting talents of Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund. On October 1st, A Nightmare on Elm Street will be re-released digitally, while a 4K Ultra HD release is scheduled for October 15th.
