    If you watched Breaking Bad and thought Walter White was the hero then not only did you miss the entire point, you pulled Walter White into our reality except darker and more evil, like in Wes Craven's New Nightmare

    This is something I have been wondering; Wes Craven's New Nightmare was released in 1994. At that time, was it the most mainstream, widely known work of what we now call "metafiction"? The concept was certainly not unprecedented, but it was fairly niche. Was this the first truly mainstream example?

    I watched Wes Craven's New Nightmare. I loved the meta story about the Freddy franchise. It had a really creepy kid and this version of Freddy, as a thing that lives in stories, was so cool. Freddy's scary in this one. the slow descent into madness was great too. It's an awesome movie

    since I'm only 1/2 paying attention to this garbage heap of a movie, I was thinking about 90's horror. And how the really good 90's horror felt like it was leading up to something like Scream. In the Mouth of Madness, then Wes Craven's New Nightmare...all pointing towards something on the horizon

    I loved scary movies as a kid, but Wes Craven's New Nightmare hit me so hard. It was actually the first Freddy movie I'd ever watched, but I loved the blurring of reality with the film's mythology. Freaked the hell out of me. And I think I love writing horror because it lets you really push limits
