“With 2022 being the 35th anniversary of the film A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than reuniting two pillars of the metal and monster genre,” said Todd Harapiak, Gibson TV content and director. “Robert Englund and Don Dokken have meant so much to all of us for decades and having them appear in the first episode of Metal and Monsters is a dream come true.”

"We’ve really taken our time to make sure this show feels exactly like the campfire it's supposed to be for metal and monster fans of the world,” said Montgomery. “As a full time, monster, and musician, I’m so humbled and honored to take this journey with such an incredible team into the darkest and heaviest corners of the universe. Hit the lights! Here we go!"
