Freddy’s Nightmares episode review — 2.18 — Funhouse
Original air date: February 11, 1990
Director: Gilbert Adler
Writers: Al Katz and Gilbert Adler
Rating: 4/10
What’s with this season doing so many follow-up episodes? Isn’t the whole point of an anthology show that you don’t do this kind of thing? Like why not make it a typical narrative.
At any rate, we’ve got a sort-of sequel to “Welcome to Springwood” from early in this season. That’s actually one of the stronger episodes in this entire series, and this one isn’t that.
It’s mostly your average ghost story. I mean, it’s got a plot that’s fairly different, but most of the things that happen would happen in your typical haunted house story.
And that goes for both stories here. It’s all pretty underwhelming.
