  • Tony, Casey, and Jess from ‪@TheCreepOff‬ get together and talk about their dream man! That's right Freddy Krueger is back in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 The Dream Warriors. The movie that brought back Wes Craven to help write Freddy's final adventure...they made 6 more films after this.
    Update: I did a commentary track for Nightmare on Elm Street 2 on patreon

    If you're wondering why skipped 2 it's because I did a solo review for it AND interviewed the director at the end of another episode. You can find those below:

    I still think the first 2 are more interesting as films on their own, but this does everything right as a sequel in a slasher franchise. More creative kills/set pieces, more boobs, a clever worthwhile expansion of the killers mythology, and a continuation of a previous final girl’s character arc.

    I love the Dokken story when they were makin the Dream Warriors music video. There’s a scene where George Lynch breaks through a wall and busts out a kick ass solo, but he was so coked out of his mind that he couldn’t burst through the break away wall. Apparently Robert Englund had to like throw George through the damn wall and film the scene. Also they were cutting coke with Freddy’s gloves.

      I don't hate part 2, but the thing that irritates me about it is what Freddy was capable of in this film. If Freddy was able to possess people and become a powerful threat in the physical realm, he could've taken out all the elm street kids in 2 movies instead of multiple(body hopping like "Shocker") . That 1 issue aside, I like it as Standalone movie.

    YES, Nancy's REALLY Dr. Loomis now;) I always loved that it was her love for her dad that Freddy used against her, she was totally willing to die to protect the others, and of course the moment Freddy saw her again--"YOU..."!! But of COURSE it isn't HER having the new gift to pull people into her dreams and seeing Amanda...as she SHOULD have for CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:/
    Okay, then for 'Freddy's Revenge' and 'New Nightmare' until and unless they get new reviews here:
    FREDDY'S REVENGE:
    The look, music, dream imagery, and Freddy acting like a poltergeist really are creative, but they're totally in vain because it's not happening to Nancy! Including Jesse's Nike Air sneakers, Levi's, white-T-shirt, and grey sweatshirt...they belong on HER;)
    NEW NIGHTMARE:
    This time Nancy's getting her Karen Barclay on! Wes was mixing 'Child's Play', 'Poltergeist', and 'Amityville Horror' big time:):) When John Saxon turns around and is dressed as Don Thompson is so great...but MAN, HEATHER should've been the one everyone was thinking was going crazy while he and Robert were worrying about her until Wes says they ALL have to become their characters one last time;)

Then HBO showed it for like the next Summer, but then I feel like it just kinda got forgotten. I remember loving it in the theater, and then I watched it several times on HBO. It does everything good horror movies should do, starting with the setting: a small American town. Tremors did this, making the town even smaller and more secluded. Arachnophobia went even further with a house in the middle of the country.

    Even though he gets the main credit, most of the music in "Dream Warriors" was not composed by Angelo Badalamenti. Most of what's heard in the movie was composed by Ken Harrison, who is credited in the end titles. This goes a long way to explain why Badalamenti absolutely refused to discuss this movie. And frankly, I've heard Badalamenti's full unused score for the movie-- it isn't very good. What's in the movie works a lot better.
    Elaine's date-- "Elaine, where do ya keep the bourbon?"... that's Robert Englund's real voice.
    While you guys may not have thought Nancy and Neil were an item in the film, in the script Wes Craven wrote, they were in fact together and do fuck at one point. There's a lot of stuff in Frank Darabount and Chuck Russell's script (that they made the film from) that has stuff that came from Wes' script but doesn't really pan out in their iteration.
    Freddy doesn't say "bitch" at all in the first or second movie. This is its debut. He doesn't swear in the first movie but he drops an f-bomb in the second movie.
    They didn't use the Nurse-Freddy thing because it "looked weird." They didn't use it because it was just too damned disturbing seeing Freddy's face on a beautiful chick's body. There are pictures of her with the makeup on and if you just look at the face, you can't tell it's not Robert Englund. But they just found it too upsetting, so they used what's in the movie now.
    Regarding the TV series-- it's not the same Freddy from the movies. The TV series and the movies are irreconcilable with one another (the TV series says Freddy was 18 in 1970. In the movies, by 1970, Freddy was either already dead or was expecting the birth of his daughter, depending on when you think Freddy died--1968 or 1974). There are four different Freddy Krueger characters: Movie Freddy (Nightmare 1-6 and Freddy vs. Jason), TV Freddy (Freddy's Nightmares), Fake Demon Freddy (New Nightmare), and Remake Freddy.
    Freddy's voice is all over the place because there was no time for real post-production in the movie. They finished shooting the movie in late January of 1987 and it opened on February 27th, 1987. So they just didn't have time to go in and change every single piece of Englund's dialogue. What you're calling "Voice 2," that's the real voice Englund uses when he plays Freddy live while shooting. What you're calling "Voice 1" is how it sounds after they tamper with it in post-production to make it more demonic and scary. But there just wasn't time enough to hit it all because of the brief turnaround from finishing shooting to theatrical release.
    The focus on Christianity in "Dream Warriors" is there because Chuck Russell is Catholic, and he co-wrote the movie.
    Don Thompson, sadly, is no longer a lieutenant (he was never sheriff). If you look carefully at his shoulder patches, you'll see he's now a security guard.
    Elaine comes back in Nightmare 4 presumably because she was killed in Kristen's dream, not her own dream (and Kristen is dreaming of her mom, not pulling her into her dream).
    No, Taryn's exploding head just plain didn't work. They figured it out; the prop just didn't work right. I have some behind the scenes shot-on-set footage and in it, they get the take ready and then the fake head's eyes just splat white and that's all it does. Whoever's shooting the footage pulls the camera back and you can see Englund walking off, shaking his head in dismay.
    Nightmare 3 was NOT a big-budget Hollywood movie. It was an independent film made for 4.5 million dollars. New Line Cinema wouldn't become a "Hollywood studio" until around the early-to-mid-90s. They were still independent at this point and they kept making these movies because it's all they had.
    It's not fair to compare the stop-motion here to the stop motion in "Jason and the Argonauts." Ray Harryhausen had like 2 years to make that film. The effects guys here had like 2 months. And yes, it is, what's called rotoscoped. They rear projected the model one frame at a time against the live film. When they shot the scenes live, they DID have Robert Englund performing the Freddy skeleton's actions, though. And no, "The Terminator" had a bigger budget than this movie with 6.4 million. And "Robocop's" budget was 13.7 million. As mentioned above, Nightmare 3's budget was 4.5 million (according to producer Rachel Talalay). And the Freddy skeleton don't groan at the end of that scene--he's laughing.
    It is NOT a team effort that kills Freddy in the movie. Freddy is solely killed by a sucker punch from the real world. Nothing that was happening to Freddy in the dream was effective at all. Nancy stabbing Freddy with his glove was nothing but an annoyance (it meant something in the script Wes wrote, but in Darabount/Russell's script, it's just a carryover with no significance). At any rate, the movie winds up undermining its whole damn point!
    It is definitely meant to be Freddy in the last scene. Listen and you'll hear a miniature-ized version of his knives scraping against metal from within.
    The girl killed by Freddy's kiss is Nightmare 4, not 5.
    It's not really right to say "Wes wrote this one." He wrote a draft of it and that draft was rejected (and rightfully so; it's just awful and all over the place). Frank Darabount and Chuck Russell wrote this movie. All Wes and his writer came up with was the core idea of a group of kids ganging up on Freddy.
    I love "Freddy's Dead" too cause I like to have fun and any time anyone badmouths that movie, all I hear from them is "I hate fun."

    i studied dream psychology and theory for a really long time. there is this thing called "a group psychosis" in group counseling. where patients share delusions. in this case, dreams. people who got together and talked about their dreams regularly started to share the same dreams. it's pretty interesting.

    i had a freddy dream once too. a long time ago. in the dream i was at some gas station in the middle of nowhere. it was night, of course. i asked to use the phone in the office. i went into the office and closed the door. picked up the phone. made a joke about freddy mouth coming out of the phone. laughed a little and said, "that would be scary if i were dreaming." then got a really really cold feeling of realization... and i could just feel him outside the doors and windows. i was like "NOPE". and woke up.

    You mentioned the second death for her being in the TV, but I think the first one was just as bad really. I believe somewhere they mention the setup and that the doors are locked, but he just phases through the door to get to the tower to jump off. It should be impossible without some major mistakes happening on the staffs part for it to happen.
    I never really thought much about the skeleton, I don't think all that much was probably put into it, but since he wasn't strong yet from a lack of fear initially, the skeleton was already in a spot where he couldn't get out I guess? That'd be kind of a fun scene of him trying for the first time, getting nowhere. Otherwise, it kind of comes down to, "How does Freddy know he can inhabit his bones?", which then leads into simply moving if he could escape, so he couldn't be killed.

    The reason for the different voice pitches of Freddy is a result of them adjusting the speed & tempo of sound bites in order to make his voice higher or deeper depending on the context. Robert's talked about this in interviews.
