I don't think it was the same Brian May. From what I've read, this Brian was an Australian composer who passed away in 97. He did make music for the Mad Max series.
Ha ha, the first time I saw this movie was on Father's Day! Definitely had no idea then that it was a Father's Day movie ... not that I would have watched it with either of my fathers or anything, LOL.
I may be wrong, but I think Robert Englund himself said it's his favorite Freddy kill in the franchise, and I remember seeing Alice Cooper when I first saw the movie and laughing at how wild it was.
@@tdomonique504 I don't remember thinking anything else about it when I saw this movie as a kid. I wasn't even 10 yet. Was it done well? Meh, it did have a theme and not much different of a plot than the rest of the franchise. Freddy tries to find a way to gain access to more kids after finishing getting his revenge with the kids of the parents that killed him. Used a body of a teenager, still terrorizing, uses teenager's dream power to get to more kids, uses dreams of child to get to more kids, uses daughter's body to break free of town to gain access to new kids... etc.
This was indeed the final film in the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Franchise until Wes Craven's New Nightmare was released and received positive reviews upon release as it was a very meta horror film.
This is the final film in the main series. New Nightmare is its own thing and FvJ is just a fun crossover that doesn’t really follow the continuity of either franchise.
@@rmhartman New Nightmare was basically Wes Cravens original plan for Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors but Newline said no they wanted to keep Freddy in the dream world! And as for the second film in the franchise. Nightmare on Queer Street 2? Wes Craven had nothing to do with that movie as he originally wanted the original to be a stand alone film and believe it or not wanted it to have a happy ending. A similar situation would take place during the production of Deadly Friend were Wes originally wanted it to be a sci fi supernatural love story. But when test audiences booed and said where's the blood and horror he is best known for? He went back and recut the movie and added more blood, horror and gore. The ending where Samantha attacks and kills Paul was supposed to be a dream sequence. 🎩🧤🤖🎥

@@yesitislikethat I'm afraid you are. I saw it in the theaters too. And I've reconstructed the theatrical version from various sources around the world. No words. Just the "now."
Also Freddy needed his daughter so he could kill outside of Springwood. That's why when he jumped into her head and they drove past the border the greenscreen effect exploded away, and his line in her dream "Every town has an Elm Street." implies that he can enter anyone's dreams now.
No problem loving the channel and all of reaction and clothing line is amazing already got first I hope Roxy & Tara you both have a clothing line coming out sooner or later
Freddy’s Dead was the first the Elm Street movie I saw in a theater. My mom took me to see it. I was 6 years old at the time. We watched the movie in 3D. I was very young when I first watched the older Freddy movies on TV. Great seeing Roxy and Tara watching all these movies.
Johnny Depp made his way to return to place where his career began. The cameo was serendipitous because he just wrapped filming Cry-Baby & Edward scissorhands, He came to the set.
John Doe actor is the father of Ariana Greenblatt who was young Gamora, Young Ashoka and the daughter in Barbie. And the actress who played Freddy’s daughter is Billy Zane’s (AKA Kal from Titanic’s) sister

@@sproductionsinc I do agree because of the ending of Jason Goes to Hell (1993). Then New Nightmare comes out in 1994. It’s always best to watch movies in chronological order of release date, but they won’t
This was looney tunes. Has its moments but overall it lost any of its darkness. Freddy became too silly and Wes Craven changed all that with the next installment. He got things back the way they should’ve been. My favorite part of this movie was the goo goo dolls song opening lol
"The map says we're fucked!" This was my introduction to Freddy Krueger when I was a kid (outside of the Freddy vs Jason promotional stuff like the weigh in) so the closing gave quite a bit away but it wasn't a problem.
So, it says "10 years from now".. however.. the timeline only works if you consider it 10 years from when the first movie takes place.. which puts this movie the year it came out, so the music, pop culture references, the clothing style, and the town being back to normal for FvJ all actually makes sense
The Friday franchise jumps all over the place too. I think by the time you get to part 8 it’s in the 2000s or something. It’s a movie, it’s not the real world. So it’s an alternate universe where the the 2000s is still like the 80s lol. Also, New Nightmare takes place in the “real world” and Jason X takes place after FvJ, so final nightmare and final friday are the last ones before FvJ and it makes no attempt to explain how Freddy or Jason got out of hell after their “final” movies.
I don't work for new line or horror inc.. so obviously I'm not an official keeper of the lore... so, everyone can believe what they want to make it work for them.. but this is how I reconcile the inconsistencies.. and if others say, "hey that makes more sense than Batman 89 coming out in 2000, and springwood completely coming back to life in under 2 years"... Great glad to help lol... The real challenge.. make all the Texas chainsaw movies canon 🤣🤣
I remember renting all these movies as a teen and then later bought the Elm Street VHS collection. Years later I decided to watch Freddy's Dead and realized the VHS was blank. I didn't notice because I never bothered to rewatch this movie.
These reactions are such a blast. I’m in the intro and I’m already grinning like a fool. It’s sad that it’s nearing its end, but awesome we don’t have to wait long for these! More scream queens duo franchises!!!
My dad took me to see this in the theaters when i was 5yrs old. Its one of my only memories i have of him. We had 3D glasses. My dad is still alive. He just not in my life anymore. I have daddy issues😂 I love this movie
There is a fan theory out there that goes a long way to explain why the town is the way it is. And that's through jacob. The theory goes that sometime during Jacob's early childhood, he started dreaming about freddy again as a toddler/child - inheriting both alice's natural daydreaming powers and kristen's "pulling people in" powers, the tiny little guy had no control or awareness of what he was doing and ended up being a tool for freddy to kill all the kids at the local school... driving the parents mad. Alice might've learned how to control both her powers and the powers of her dead friends she absorbed - but jacob would've been pulling people in awake and asleep before he could walk.
Interesting concept. I read on the elm street fan page Alice moved away from springwood shortly after having Jacob. Glad she had a happy ending but I'm still not over her not being in freddys dead and freddy vs Jason 😢😂
Yes Roxy “purge!” and Tara “ring the bell, ring the bell” (and yes missed opportunity Roxy) are back!!❤️❤️🙌🏽always enjoy when getting notification..the chemistry with you two ladies❤…yeah a let down this movie
@@StarlordSeven they don’t all count only the 2009 version because yes 1-3 has the word final in the title but the 4th one has “The” meaning officially the final of a finale but of course it was a pretend since the 5th one came out and the new upcoming one.
The only good thing about this film was your reaction! 😂 I've never seen you two so disengaged and disappointed. You made this one fun! ❤❤ I wish that you would start the "Friday The 13th" films before the last two films in the "Nightmare" series.
When he seemed to go into his daughter's body, he was just hitching a ride out of Springwood. She is his blood so he was able to do that, that's why he sent the guy to go get her and bring her back, so she could bring him to a new town and victim pool
This actually is the final Elm Street movie in the main series, so the title doesn’t lie. New Nightmare is its own thing, and FvJ is just a fun crossover that doesn’t really follow the continuity of either franchise.
This Freddy movie was the first 3D movie I saw in theaters as a kid. I loved this movie. Freddy really had fun in this movie. He gave me more horror Bugs Bunny vibes in this movie. I hope you ladies get to see Freddy vs Jason.
Every time I rewatch this movie I be like this is a good movie this is the perfect comedy like straight up plot to a cartoon,slapstick comedy not even a horror
A lot of questions they have about this movie, they'd know the answers to if they were paying attention to the movie. This is what happens when you talk over plot points. Freddy wanted his daughter back because he killed everyone in the town and he needed a blood relative to get out of the town he was trapped in. He used her like a bus. Once they left Springwood, Freddy was free and clear. Katherine wasn't being terrorized because she wasn't in Springwood. He couldn't leave the town. Just like a ghost can't leave their haunting. Freddy's haunting was Springwood. That's why Nancy survived for so long. She didn't come back to Springwood until Part 3
I remember going to the theater for when the movie was released bc it was one of the first ones to use 3D lenses for the public and we were supposed to put them on at the same time as the protagonist, it was an experience! I hold this movie in a special place just bc of that (and Carlos nightmare, which is one of my favs) That's why it looks different from that point on until she takes off the 3D lenses in the movie. LOVE YOU SHEJECTS!
"I wish we saw him be like 'I've been waiting my whole life to tag-team' with you." That, precisely, was in the script! Here's the exchange they have while they're fighting at the end-- Freddy: Give daddy back his glove so we can be together. I can fix it so you can live forever. Maggie: Oh, like you? Freddy: No. Better than me. Whether you believe it or not, "Freddy's Dead" was very popular when it came out. It was the sort of movie wide audiences wanted out of Freddy at the time (nobody was scared of Freddy by 1991). Hardcore horror fans always hated it because it wasn't scary (though it was never meant to be scary).
You would think that, yes; but according to almost every stuntman I've ever seen talking about favorite stunts, anything where they get tossed around - whether it's in a fight where they throw themselves into things, or the actors literally flipping them end ove end, or wires pulling all over the place into the air or getting launched off of springboards - they LOVE that shit. Whoever the stunt guy was who rolled down that hill.....he was having the best day ever. You can actually see where he did stop, but then gets up only enough to keep throwing himself down the hill. That dude was living his best life in that moment.
Love love love both of you. Rewatching these movies feels so much more tolerable this way 😂 Also loving the Child’s Play run you two are doing. Really hope the theme continues with other horror franchises. REALLY hope you eventually get around to Freddy vs Jason as well.
The reason her 3d glasses disappeared was because when the movie came out in theaters you put your 3d glasses on when she does and the rest of the movie was 3d .. that's why the explosion and the way it's shot is so in your face.. this movie was shot with 3d in mind.
You know I haven't watched the Nightmare on Elm Street movies in quite a long time, but with Roxy and Tara, I am remembering how incredibly weird this franchise is. It's still a cool movie. But Freddy has drastically gone down my list for the best horror movie character.
The dream police in one of the previous drafts were going to be the ghosts of the Dream Warriors and in either this or in a comic, Nancy was supposed to be the protector of Dreams. This movie could've been so good!
Hey! I 'm French, and ii' m in France and really like your channel. I like Roxy and her friend :) I don't understand everything but it's kinda cool This 6th movie is not so bad but not the best. It's a good final chapter.
Anyone else think it was a call back to part one when she walks into the house yelling "Mother" like Nancy did. And the front door is blue with that curved window up above. Maybe that's why she doesn't remember living in that house cuz she thinks it's the one she grew up in. I'm getting granular about this lol
Worst Of The Franchise. Goes too goofy and isn't a satisfying ending for the franchise. Please React To The Friday The 13th Franchise Before Freddy Vs Jason.
First of all, I love you guys! You are the main draw to me this channel. Now...SOOOOO GLAD you felt the way you did about this movie. I hated it when i saw it in the theatre (yes,, i'm that old - even older considering i saw the original Friday the 13th and F13 Part 2 as a double feature when F13 Part 2 was released nationally in 1981, and this was my introduction to modern horror, not to mention was responsible for me not being able to sleep for a week. So by the time NOES came out in 84, (and later, Hellraiser in 1987) i was fully vested into the franchise, and while each film had its quirky, and sometimes very confusing storytelling, but at least 1-5 had an idea, a concept that continues to feature fleshed out characters (some better than others) and maintained some sense of continuity... and this one came out, proclaiming to be "The Final Nightmare" so i had really high expectations, especially the fact that Rachel Talalay, who had been affiliated with EVERY film from line director all the way to director of this film, and to say i was disappointed is an understatement. Thankfully, this was NOT the final nightmare, and in 1994, original creator/director Wes Craven brought us back to a whole fever dream with the lines blurred between the real and dream worlds, and best of all it brings back one of the GOAT Final Girl, Heather Langenkamp, and i won't spoil anything about this film but OMGf!!!! What a high note for Craven to put a PERIIOD on the story as he saw fit. OK, my rant is over. LIke i said, you guys are the best, and Greg damn well better let you continue your Friday the 13th reactions. And i will getting my REJECT sweatshirt very soon.
The basic premise is that Freddy needed a blood relation to leave Springwood. He attached himself to her to get out. He has killed every child in Springwood which has driven the adults insane. He killed his wife in front of his daughter who, in turn, told on him. This led the parents of Springwood to discover who had been killing their children. Someone in the prosecutors office screwed up on the paperwork and Freddy was freed on a technicalitie. This led the parents of Springwood to take justice into their own hands and kill Freddy.
They don’t explain it very well but basically it wasn’t a dream unless someone slept but Freddy got so powerful from souls that he could affect the real world at times.
The comparison of this franchise and the Child's Play franchise is a great example of the difference between having the creator/writer/visionary of the original stay with the franchise and create each installment vs not respecting the creator and having a studio run the show. It's a lesson most people, including the consumers, do not pick up on. This world really doesn't respect creators of these things - only the brand names. But that is such a HUGE difference. Just MY opinions though! ❤❤
My theory is that he was killing everyone from the first film to Dream Child to show the parents how it felt to have their kids taken away. & I'm pretty sure he wanted his daughter back so he could kill her for telling on him so he transported himself into her subconscious after offing John so he could manipulate her dreams a lot easier. I do wish they would have brought back or mentioned Alice, whether she survived or if Freddy actually got to her and Yvonne
@@MrBoyYankee Only seen the second one once. I remember the evil psychic dude pissing me off in that good way you actually kind of want the villain to do, but the rest of it being kind of a mess.
@itscarriebomb puts your average bullied teen nerd, Hoax (Stephen Geoffreys) From a broken home. Although a straight A student, Hoax deals with personal trauma. "A square peg round hole scenario." With a religious zealot of a mom. The school gang, in which his cousin, the reluctant hero, bad boy Spike (Patrick O'Brian) leads. Who pales in comparison when it comes to his cousin. Until Hoax reaches out and touches the devil. When he calls the horrorscope hotline. All hell breaks loose. It's up to Spike to save his cousins soul. Before it's lost in eternal damnnation.
This was my first introduction to Freddy Krueger. I loved this movie as a kid. I first saw this movie at my cousin's house along with The People Under the Stairs, my uncle rented it on VHS for us.
So not sure if you guys have figured it out, but apparently Freddy went through every last child of elm Street and left the Adults all alone. so NONE of the adults ever had other children for fear of losing them. Hence Springwood became deserted and Amnesia Boy believes he's the last one. BUT as the movie shows us he's actually NOT the last child of elm street.
This was such a great horror film for 10 yr olds. By this point Freddy was iconic...most recognized character next to Ronald Mcdonald and Santa Claus. This was one of the first Movie Poster that I collected from my local theater, I still have it, plus had the cardboard cut out from the video store later. I dont hate it, but they really didnt seem to have a plan for it, but at least he didnt end up on space...or clone himself....or have a mass cult worshipping him...well in the movies at least. And out of all the quotes this is the one I quoted the most...probably not great for a sixth grader. You two are great as always
In the early 2000's, one of IF NOT my favorite vending machine Juice was Dole: strawberry/Kiwi. But without any real warning it was just GONE one day and it never ever came back. Which sucked because it was a great juice for really humid days.
My interpretation was always that Freddy was stuck in Springwood and there were no more kids to kill, so the last surviving child he sent on a mission to bring his daughter to him. When Freddy sends him hurling from the bus and through the barrier, when Freddy tries to reach through the hole made by his body, it reformed. My assumption was that his "consciousness" could inhabit her body and once she traveled outside of Springwood, he would be released into the rest of the world. That's why once she drives across the border of Springwood, the barrier shattered. It would have made more sense, I think, if they'd shown a scene of him leaving her body, but I believe he left her immediately once they made it out of Springwood. I also always got the sense that there were missing scenes, though, so perhaps one of them made that more clear? I don't know if you noticed, but there were all the scenes with the nursery rhyme written out in the world, but "7, 8, better stay up late is missing", so there were definitely things cut. The rest are all there.
I thought the “10 years from now” meant that it was set in 2001. Since this movie debut in 1991. However, it’s referring to the last movie which was set in 1989. So Freddy’s Dead is really set in 1999.

The movie did have great music selections. Love the intro by Goo Goo Dolls, "I'm awake now" at the intro.
21:26 Tara is like,,, “this movie draggin’, I need some coffee” ☕️ 😂
Tom Arnold was 1 of FAVORITE 'Freddy' Cameos 😂
BUT
The Johnny Depp 'Brain on Drugs' 90s parody is the BEST
Yes Roxy “purge!” and Tara “ring the bell, ring the bell” (and yes missed opportunity Roxy) are back!!❤️❤️🙌🏽always enjoy when getting notification..the chemistry with you two ladies❤…yeah a let down this movie
YAY!
The Reel Shejects! Love that shit. Haha. Please keep going with more horror flicks. I love you two together. Such great content. Love the video.
What's Your Favorite Pretend-Final, but not Actually-Final Installment in a Horror Franchise???
Alien 3
Friday the 13th The Final Chapter
Friday the 13th Part 4
@@StarlordSeven they don’t all count only the 2009 version because yes 1-3 has the word final in the title but the 4th one has “The” meaning officially the final of a finale but of course it was a pretend since the 5th one came out and the new upcoming one.
@@StarlordSeven😂😂😂
Even “bored” Roxy and Tara is fun to watch 😂
The only good thing about this film was your reaction! 😂 I've never seen you two so disengaged and disappointed. You made this one fun! ❤❤ I wish that you would start the "Friday The 13th" films before the last two films in the "Nightmare" series.
2001 maniacs has Robert Englund in it also that movie was really gory🤣
Trust what everyone has said, the next one (New Nightmare) is SO good, it makes up for this one.
Wes Craven’s New Nightmare is so unique and original. I can’t wait for you guys to see it.
When he seemed to go into his daughter's body, he was just hitching a ride out of Springwood. She is his blood so he was able to do that, that's why he sent the guy to go get her and bring her back, so she could bring him to a new town and victim pool
This actually is the final Elm Street movie in the main series, so the title doesn’t lie. New Nightmare is its own thing, and FvJ is just a fun crossover that doesn’t really follow the continuity of either franchise.
This Freddy movie was the first 3D movie I saw in theaters as a kid. I loved this movie. Freddy really had fun in this movie. He gave me more horror Bugs Bunny vibes in this movie. I hope you ladies get to see Freddy vs Jason.
I saw it at the drive in lol
@@supermodeldiva1977 that’s awesome, so they had 3D in drive in. That’s crazy 😳👍🤯👍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The ticket taker at the beginning of the movie is the producer of it, Robert Shay
Man, I really love those end credits
Every time I rewatch this movie I be like this is a good movie this is the perfect comedy like straight up plot to a cartoon,slapstick comedy not even a horror
The dream demons being reduced to little fishies had me in stitches.
A lot of questions they have about this movie, they'd know the answers to if they were paying attention to the movie. This is what happens when you talk over plot points. Freddy wanted his daughter back because he killed everyone in the town and he needed a blood relative to get out of the town he was trapped in. He used her like a bus. Once they left Springwood, Freddy was free and clear. Katherine wasn't being terrorized because she wasn't in Springwood. He couldn't leave the town. Just like a ghost can't leave their haunting. Freddy's haunting was Springwood. That's why Nancy survived for so long. She didn't come back to Springwood until Part 3
Tara and roxy making me hyped for the 2010 reaction it sounds funny 😂
Oh its gonna be a big one lol
The movie starts just like a Freddy film in a dream.
These two Make my day everytime!!! Even though this movie isn't the best you guys made it 100 times better watching it with you LOL
Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a MUST see
I remember going to the theater for when the movie was released bc it was one of the first ones to use 3D lenses for the public and we were supposed to put them on at the same time as the protagonist, it was an experience! I hold this movie in a special place just bc of that (and Carlos nightmare, which is one of my favs) That's why it looks different from that point on until she takes off the 3D lenses in the movie. LOVE YOU SHEJECTS!
Fun Fact: The John Doe actor who thought he was freddys child is Shon Greenblatt (Ariana Greenblatts Father)
Wes Cravens New Nightmare is one of the best in the franchise. Can’t wait to see you two watch it!
24:50 Please make the “Purge” scream a thing for horror movies. Even for non-Purge ones haha.
When they brought up the 3D glasses that was when we were to put them on in the theaters it was in 3D at that point. I remember.
"I wish we saw him be like 'I've been waiting my whole life to tag-team' with you."
That, precisely, was in the script!
Here's the exchange they have while they're fighting at the end--
Freddy: Give daddy back his glove so we can be together. I can fix it so you can live forever.
Maggie: Oh, like you?
Freddy: No. Better than me.
Whether you believe it or not, "Freddy's Dead" was very popular when it came out. It was the sort of movie wide audiences wanted out of Freddy at the time (nobody was scared of Freddy by 1991). Hardcore horror fans always hated it because it wasn't scary (though it was never meant to be scary).
You would think that, yes; but according to almost every stuntman I've ever seen talking about favorite stunts, anything where they get tossed around - whether it's in a fight where they throw themselves into things, or the actors literally flipping them end ove end, or wires pulling all over the place into the air or getting launched off of springboards - they LOVE that shit. Whoever the stunt guy was who rolled down that hill.....he was having the best day ever. You can actually see where he did stop, but then gets up only enough to keep throwing himself down the hill. That dude was living his best life in that moment.
Thank goodness for New Nightmare, because I always thought that this would've been a lousy way to end the ANOES franchise.
Lots of people on this channel been tired and exhausted or ill lately. Hopefully y'all aren't getting too overworked just for us!
Love love love both of you. Rewatching these movies feels so much more tolerable this way 😂 Also loving the Child’s Play run you two are doing. Really hope the theme continues with other horror franchises. REALLY hope you eventually get around to Freddy vs Jason as well.
"YOU FORGOT THE POWERGLOVE!!!!"
lol I was bummed that was edited out too
I love the Power Glove. Its so bad.
I have so so so enjoyed watching the Nightmare movies with yall! Grew up on them. You make all the mistakes you need and we will giggle lots.
The reason her 3d glasses disappeared was because when the movie came out in theaters you put your 3d glasses on when she does and the rest of the movie was 3d .. that's why the explosion and the way it's shot is so in your face.. this movie was shot with 3d in mind.
They're not dreaming, all the other kids are gone, FREDDY got them
You know I haven't watched the Nightmare on Elm Street movies in quite a long time, but with Roxy and Tara, I am remembering how incredibly weird this franchise is. It's still a cool movie. But Freddy has drastically gone down my list for the best horror movie character.
7:14 It's not Brian May from Queen. The Brian May that did the music for this movie died April 25th 1997.
The only time I turned the volume down, is when it was Freddy holding a chalkboard and dragging his knives on it
The dream police in one of the previous drafts were going to be the ghosts of the Dream Warriors and in either this or in a comic, Nancy was supposed to be the protector of Dreams. This movie could've been so good!
Hey! I 'm French, and ii' m in France and really like your channel.
I like Roxy and her friend :)
I don't understand everything but it's kinda cool
This 6th movie is not so bad but not the best.
It's a good final chapter.
Anyone else think it was a call back to part one when she walks into the house yelling "Mother" like Nancy did. And the front door is blue with that curved window up above. Maybe that's why she doesn't remember living in that house cuz she thinks it's the one she grew up in. I'm getting granular about this lol
28:00 the adults in the town are not attacked by Freddy, they are just driven insane because Freddie has killed all the children in the town.
Worst Of The Franchise. Goes too goofy and isn't a satisfying ending for the franchise. Please React To The Friday The 13th Franchise Before Freddy Vs Jason.
First of all, I love you guys! You are the main draw to me this channel. Now...SOOOOO GLAD you felt the way you did about this movie. I hated it when i saw it in the theatre (yes,, i'm that old - even older considering i saw the original Friday the 13th and F13 Part 2 as a double feature when F13 Part 2 was released nationally in 1981, and this was my introduction to modern horror, not to mention was responsible for me not being able to sleep for a week. So by the time NOES came out in 84, (and later, Hellraiser in 1987) i was fully vested into the franchise, and while each film had its quirky, and sometimes very confusing storytelling, but at least 1-5 had an idea, a concept that continues to feature fleshed out characters (some better than others) and maintained some sense of continuity... and this one came out, proclaiming to be "The Final Nightmare" so i had really high expectations, especially the fact that Rachel Talalay, who had been affiliated with EVERY film from line director all the way to director of this film, and to say i was disappointed is an understatement. Thankfully, this was NOT the final nightmare, and in 1994, original creator/director Wes Craven brought us back to a whole fever dream with the lines blurred between the real and dream worlds, and best of all it brings back one of the GOAT Final Girl, Heather Langenkamp, and i won't spoil anything about this film but OMGf!!!! What a high note for Craven to put a PERIIOD on the story as he saw fit.
OK, my rant is over. LIke i said, you guys are the best, and Greg damn well better let you continue your Friday the 13th reactions. And i will getting my REJECT sweatshirt very soon.
Demon fishes is a lot more wholesome than what I thought they were.
Still blows my mind that Rachel Talalay directed this movie. She is really talented and has directed some of my favourite Doctor Who episodes.
The basic premise is that Freddy needed a blood relation to leave Springwood. He attached himself to her to get out. He has killed every child in Springwood which has driven the adults insane. He killed his wife in front of his daughter who, in turn, told on him. This led the parents of Springwood to discover who had been killing their children. Someone in the prosecutors office screwed up on the paperwork and Freddy was freed on a technicalitie. This led the parents of Springwood to take justice into their own hands and kill Freddy.
They don’t explain it very well but basically it wasn’t a dream unless someone slept but Freddy got so powerful from souls that he could affect the real world at times.
The comparison of this franchise and the Child's Play franchise is a great example of the difference between having the creator/writer/visionary of the original stay with the franchise and create each installment vs not respecting the creator and having a studio run the show. It's a lesson most people, including the consumers, do not pick up on. This world really doesn't respect creators of these things - only the brand names. But that is such a HUGE difference. Just MY opinions though! ❤❤
That "Awake not" at the end of the intro still gives me goosebumps! Its so haunting
My theory is that he was killing everyone from the first film to Dream Child to show the parents how it felt to have their kids taken away.
& I'm pretty sure he wanted his daughter back so he could kill her for telling on him so he transported himself into her subconscious after offing John so he could manipulate her dreams a lot easier.
I do wish they would have brought back or mentioned Alice, whether she survived or if Freddy actually got to her and Yvonne
this is the first Freddy movie I was old enough to see in theatres, I was 6, and the 3-D was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.
When tough girl's actress was a little older she played Spike's girlfriend in 976-EVIL.
Another underrated gem of a film. 💎 Along with the sequel, The Astral Factor. The first one was directed by Robert Englund.
@@MrBoyYankee Only seen the second one once. I remember the evil psychic dude pissing me off in that good way you actually kind of want the villain to do, but the rest of it being kind of a mess.
I haven't actually seen 976-EVIL, but I want to. Is it good?
@itscarriebomb puts your average bullied teen nerd, Hoax (Stephen Geoffreys)
From a broken home. Although a straight A student, Hoax deals with personal trauma. "A square peg round hole scenario." With a religious zealot of a mom. The school gang, in which his cousin, the reluctant hero, bad boy Spike (Patrick O'Brian) leads. Who pales in comparison when it comes to his cousin. Until Hoax reaches out and touches the devil. When he calls the horrorscope hotline.
All hell breaks loose. It's up to Spike to save his cousins soul. Before it's lost in eternal damnnation.
It's great, I love it. @@itscarriebomb
This was my first introduction to Freddy Krueger. I loved this movie as a kid. I first saw this movie at my cousin's house along with The People Under the Stairs, my uncle rented it on VHS for us.
Same here my 1st introduce to freddy was this one then I saw the end credits and my mind was like these clips weren't in the movie lol!
Can't wait to see the reboot reaction, those deer-in-the-headlights looks!
So not sure if you guys have figured it out, but apparently Freddy went through every last child of elm Street and left the Adults all alone. so NONE of the adults ever had other children for fear of losing them. Hence Springwood became deserted and Amnesia Boy believes he's the last one. BUT as the movie shows us he's actually NOT the last child of elm street.
This was such a great horror film for 10 yr olds. By this point Freddy was iconic...most recognized character next to Ronald Mcdonald and Santa Claus. This was one of the first Movie Poster that I collected from my local theater, I still have it, plus had the cardboard cut out from the video store later.
I dont hate it, but they really didnt seem to have a plan for it, but at least he didnt end up on space...or clone himself....or have a mass cult worshipping him...well in the movies at least. And out of all the quotes this is the one I quoted the most...probably not great for a sixth grader. You two are great as always
In the early 2000's, one of IF NOT my favorite vending machine Juice was Dole: strawberry/Kiwi. But without any real warning it was just GONE one day and it never ever came back. Which sucked because it was a great juice for really humid days.
My interpretation was always that Freddy was stuck in Springwood and there were no more kids to kill, so the last surviving child he sent on a mission to bring his daughter to him. When Freddy sends him hurling from the bus and through the barrier, when Freddy tries to reach through the hole made by his body, it reformed. My assumption was that his "consciousness" could inhabit her body and once she traveled outside of Springwood, he would be released into the rest of the world. That's why once she drives across the border of Springwood, the barrier shattered. It would have made more sense, I think, if they'd shown a scene of him leaving her body, but I believe he left her immediately once they made it out of Springwood. I also always got the sense that there were missing scenes, though, so perhaps one of them made that more clear? I don't know if you noticed, but there were all the scenes with the nursery rhyme written out in the world, but "7, 8, better stay up late is missing", so there were definitely things cut. The rest are all there.
Fun fact; the lady who gets sucked out of the plain was originally supposed to be played by The Great Divine. Sadly she passed before shooting.
That final countdown intro lol
You 2 provide so much joy!
I’m just happy Doc survived man😭🙌
I saw this at the theater. They gave you 3D glasses. You had to wait until the end of the movie to finally put them on.
I thought the “10 years from now” meant that it was set in 2001. Since this movie debut in 1991. However, it’s referring to the last movie which was set in 1989. So Freddy’s Dead is really set in 1999.
Watch all Friday the 13th's now then Freddy vs Jason
