Bottom Shelf Mixology: Nightmare on Elm Road

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  We have racked our brains (and our livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  

It's almost Halloween, and that means it's time for some spooky cocktails!

Nightmare on Elm Road

• 2 oz Imperial Whiskey
• 2 oz Orange Drink
• 1 squeeze Store Brand Drink Enhancer Liquid (red color)
• Ice

Fill a tall glass with ice.  Pour in the whiskey and the orange drink.  Stir with a knife.

Add in the squeeze of drink enhancer, but don't stir it again.

Drink these non-stop while watching Freddy Vs. Jason, and prepare yourself for the nightmares when you pass out!

HMM '13: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

It's October!  The doorway to not only the start of the greatest food season (early October to Christmas), but also to sexy nurses, zombies, and grown men dressing up like ponies.  That also means it is time once again for Halloween Movie Madness!  This year, I'll be taking a look back at the movies of my youth.  Every movie this year was released before I turned eighteen.  These are the Halloween movies that shaped me into the man I am today.  Some of them are scary.  Some are funny.  Some are fantastical.  Some are just weird.  And not all of them are good.  But to me, they are all Halloween movies.  Now, stand back, for your own safety! 

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
1987

Right now, some of you are trying to figure out why I watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, and not the original.  That's because this was the first movie in the series that I saw.  In the theater on opening weekend, no less.  This movie scared me.  A lot.  I also loved it.  A lot.  So much so that I had my step-mom buy me the novelization of the first three movies and rent me the first two on VHS.  This movie didn't just hook me into the series, it grabbed me, lifted me up, and impaled me on a meat hook in cold storage.
