How to film it
Suggested, not observed- Record a quick commentary clip with on-screen text that says “Canceling Freddy Krueger?” and then give your reaction in 15-20 seconds.
- Make a mock “case file” style recap with text overlays pulling from the cancel-culture framing and horror tags.
- Film a split-screen video: one side the caption question, the other side you explaining why the idea is wild or funny.
