"A Nightmare on 'Hardball'"?

Quoth Wes Craven: Nevermore

Message for Chris Matthews: Hollywood 1984 called, and it wants its sweater back.

On location today in Hanover, New Hampshire, Matthews climbed out of the Wardrobe Wayback Machine - Slasher Flick Edition sporting a Halloween-shaded version of Freddy Krueger's trademark "A Nightmare on Elm Street" pull-over.

Missing was the tell-tale Freddy fedora, even when Matthews stepped outside to hem and haw in the snow with Presidential nominee John Edwards (D - Breck).

So too the claws, which Matthews saves for when he interviews Republicans.

(News Analyst extraordinaire Scott Whitlock was the man who first noted the sweater similarities.)
