Welcome to The List,
Freddy Krueger’s sweater in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is NOT red and green because of Christmas. Even though it was probably one of his favorite holidays…Here’s another piece of the story…it wasn’t a random choice. Director Wes Craven chose that color combination because of SCIENCE. He read in a scientific article that the combo is the most difficult for the human eye to see, so he figured it would make even Freddy’s clothes uncomfortable to watch.

Wanna hear a ghost story? Darius Rucker has one. He was visited by his grandmother’s ghost when he was in college. He woke up in the middle of the night and she was sitting on the edge of his bed. He wiped the sleep from his eyes, but she was still there . . . It didn’t scare him, but he did go sleep on the couch.

Kane Brown turned 30 this past Saturday, and he shared footage from his spooky party, which was all about saying “R.I.P. to his 20s.” It was very elaborate, and included: Custom decorations . . . cocktails . . . a dance floor . . . a tattoo artist . . . a magician . . . a pizza truck . . . and a social media video, which is set to “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. That’s “elaborate” from a NON-famous person’s perspective. After all, it took place at the BASKETBALL ARENA they have on their property.
