Nightmare at Shadow Woods

Not all the evil is on Elm Street ...

A brutal slasher built on the evil-twin premise, combining graphic violence with the paranoia of not knowing which sibling is the killer.

Twins Todd and Terry seem like sweet boys -- that is, until one of them takes an axe to the face of a fellow patron at the local drive-in.
