Join El Rey Network and Freddy Krueger for the third annual Rip Your Heart Out Valentine’s Day Marathon. This year will bring you and your Dream Warrior closer together with five of the classic NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films as well as episodes from the iconic 1988 series “FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES.” The marathon will begin with the episode “BLACK TICKETS” on Saturday, February 13, 2016, at 6AM ET/PT and will conclude with NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD on Monday, February 15th, at 2AM ET/PT.
The entire weekend will be hosted by the star of the franchise – Robert Englund. Englund’s portrayal of Freddy Krueger blasted him into the pop culture vernacular as heir apparent to the horror icons of the past, destined to stand alongside Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera and Boris Karloff’s monster in Frankenstein.
