What happens after you survive Freddy Krueger…?

Roger sits down with Danny Hassel (Dan from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5) for a deep dive into his wild journey... from stepping into one of horror’s most iconic franchises to life beyond Elm Street.

Danny shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on the Nightmare films, what it was like stepping into the role of Dan, and how those movies shaped his career. But that’s just the beginning…

We also talk about:

• His unexpected path into the U.S. Army Rangers

• Life after Hollywood and finding purpose beyond acting

• His passion for music and indie filmmaking

• The reality of the horror convention scene

• And what Freddy Krueger still means to fans today

This is one of those stories that goes way deeper than horror it’s about reinvention, resilience, and living multiple lives in one lifetime.
