After much preparation, Malden High’s Class of ’24 presented the 83rd annual Junior Varieties. The show was inspired by Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street, a 1984 American horror film that revolved around Freddy Krueger’s chase on a group of teenagers in their dreams.

Hosts Marianne Rivadeneira, Damien Josaphat, and Kauan Da Silva Coelho—”the group of teenagers”—tell the audience about the defeat of Freddy.
