A little fun fact: A Nightmare On Elm Street is based on a true story that happened. Basically in the 1970s, Hmong refugees that were fleeing to the US because of war and genocide suffered nightmares and sleep paralysis. So they either couldn't or refused to go to sleep. Some people died in their sleep. In one story, a son from one of the families said that he was having very disturbing nightmares. He told his parents he was afraid that if he slept, the thing chasing him would get him so he tried to stay awake for days. When he finally fell asleep, his parents thought this crisis was over. Then they heard screams in the middle of the night and by the time they got to him, he was dead. Their are a few documentaries on it you can watch on UA-cam. As I am a Hmong American, in our culture when you have sleep paralysis, it is believed that there is an evil being (Ghost, Demon, Etc.) out to get you.
Any links you can provide? I'm very interested.
shute, dude. that's intense.
Huh... well that gives a whole new perspective on what I originally thought was one of the cheesiest movies in the horror genre. Thank you for that.
You left out the part about the ceremonies that were not able to be carried out due to relocation….some blamed the ignoring of the spirits.
@@Timbo6669 Yes
I used to work for Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) and her husband. Absolutely lovely people. Heather was always bringing snacks to work and making sure everyone had breakfast.
@Dominic Mandrack I used to work for AFX Studio, which is a special effects shop that Heather runs with her husband.
@@djarinriduur i hope thats wasnt her real husband that died in that last nightmare. He was just an actor playing heathers husband.
Either this film holds up REALLY well or Jen is more of a scaredy cat than she likes to admit ;) - Great reaction guys!!
As a massive horror fan I can tell you it holds up really well, I've seen people who love horror films who will refuse to watch this cause it freaks them out so much.
Maybe both haha
This movie was ahead of its time. Way more advanced than the regular 70s 80s slasher.
Def still holds up.
I do agree this movie actually holds up really well
The bedroom scene where it looks like Freddy is pushing through the wall was a practical effect. Jim Doyle was the special effects designer. He came up with the idea of creating a wall with a hole and putting spandex over it, so that when Freddy pressed against the spandex it gave the illusion that he was trying to reach Nancy through the wall. Another fun fact is it wasn't Robert Englund (Freddy) who pressed against it in the scene, but Doyle himself :)
And in the Remake they used CGI and messed it up.
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" is the pinnacle of slasher films that Wes Craven made before he made the "Scream" franchise over a decade later. Thanks for the reaction, guys!💯
Wanna feel old. Scream is 26 years old 😱😱😱😂👍🏾
it is a super-natural horror movie not a slasher .
Just when I think Jen can’t surprise me any more with the movies she hasn’t seen you bring out another classic. This is one of my favorite not just horror wise but overall
She’s definitely not a movie watcher! 😂
Out of all the popular horror icons of the 80s, Freddy has the most personality and is the most recognisable (aside from Pinhead).
Unlike Michael and Jason, he talks and at the same time is the most creative with his kills. He has enough "dark" humor to him, but not too much to not be taken seriously. He's a genuine threat. Especially cos you can see he does sadistically enjoy tormenting his victims.
"Welcome to prime time, bitch!"
I agree with this completely but in my opinion feel Michael and Jason are more creepier because of the no communication
@@streetracer1086 Oh no doubt. I prefer Michael to Jason tho.
Michael is creepier and more of a force to be afraid of cos he's a living embodiment of someone who could or has existed in real life (aside from the supernatural aspect). The fact he quietly patiently stalks his victims for hours on end and kills for no reason, with absolutely no emotion and seems to just not die no matter what you do is absolutely terrifying. The Boogeyman. I much preferred Michael in the first two Halloweens where the line of being a man or a supernatural being was more blurred. With the later films he was no doubt a complete supernatural force of nature due to the extent of attacks he would get back up from.
Freddy simply is just a more colorful and entertaining horror villain. That's what I mostly meant.
@@Filimaua13 absolutely agree on all accounts, its a shame we can not come up with good villain's now a days for horror. I do enjoy a good paranormal movie but man it feels like thats all that has been made since 2010 and I'm kind of getting tired of them, if you know any good not paranormal movies please let me know and have a wonderful day/ night
but the thing is those movie with Michael and Jason ghost face and I know what you did last summer is more of a slasher movie but this movie and Hellraiser is super-natural .
Freddy VS Jason is exactly what it needed to be.. the horror equivalent of a WWE match. If you only ever saw it on TV, you really do not "get" what the experience was like in the theater... it was the closest I've been to Muhammed Ali VS Joe Frasier levels of audience excitement. It was rowdy, there was audience participation, it was maybe the best movie going experience of my life.
I once have a ide about Hellraiser and Halloween and Minice cop and the same movie
I love Holden’s supernatural reference. 😂 Never knew y’all were supernatural fans.
One of the best shows ever made in my book. Way Long but always a good time
Lol he's done some references in other MWW as well, I really wished they referenced it more
he always does the "bobby" and "damn it cas" when they watch the boys lol
I just finished my Supernatural journey so that was a fun surprise. Too bad they probably won't watch it on the channel
Holden, your wife's jump scares 😱 makes this reaction that more awesome 👌. You definitely gotta do parts 3 and 4.
Part 3 for sure.. Dream Warriors is pretty awesome
You gotta do parts 3 and 4. The best two in the series. Definitely appreciate y'all for this reaction.
Definitely the best two indeed; although I disagree with Holden that Freddy vs Jason movie is not good (It would have been perfect had it not been for the casting of the two main teens who were so, so bad! 😂)
Wes Craven would disagree.
wes cravens a new nightmare was a good
I don't know. I think part 2 is the best to react to. That movie is just....well, special. 🤣
I reccomend 3 (dream warriors) and 7 (wes cravens new nightmare)
Wes Craven actually hates the ending but the studio made him add it to leave room for a sequel, which he didn't return for but did come back for part 3 and part 7: Wes Craven's New Nightmare
1-3-7 is a top tier horror trilogy.
Glenn’s and Tina’s deaths were made using a rotating room. For Glenn’s death there was so much blood that it all moved to one side and the blood also broke the light fixture causing the blood to become electrified. One of the guys who was working on set activity got electrocuted by the blood.
Freddy has got to be my favorite horror icon hands down. Would love to see you guys go through the rest of that franchise to compare how they may have gotten either scarier or more campy, better or worse writing etc. Especially since the first one was done on such a low budget.
Out of all the 80s horror flicks, this one scared me the worst as a kid. For almost my entire childhood, I was terrified of Robert Englund. Freddy really traumatized me lol.
Me too man, had so many nightmares to the point I'm desensitized to them now
It wasn't the movie itself that got me, it was my aunt getting behind a cardboard cut out of Freddy and chasing me in the local movie rental store... I was like 3 at the time...
@@bdbd1390 My dad did the same thing except with a poster. lol
But hes actually the nicest guy in the world...
If Jen hasn't seen The Thing(1982) and Friday the 13th(1980), it would be fun to see her reactions.
I second The Thing! Amazing horror movie because the characters are actually smart. Makes everything feel real and not campy
I also second the thing... but: Buy some extra life insurance on Jen and maybe have some heart medication on hand, because: I don’t think she’ll survive halfway through the movie! 😱😱😱🤣👍
I fourth The Thing!
The Thing is level 10 horror. No camp, no humor, no jump scares, relentless, and just flat out horrifying, at a core level. Plus, since its John Carpenter, he has such a unique style for his musical scores, they tend to avoid sounding like "the 80's"
@@ckmoore101 There are 2 jump scares I can remember that are very effective and don't come off as of annoying
You should watch “Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy”. It’s a four hour documentary about the movies and how they did them. It’s pretty cool how they did stuff like the bedroom scene where she’s all over the walls they made a room that spins around.
As someone who lost a parent young, the visual of the mother descending into the bed, then being dangled, smiling and happy, then being viciously snatched away, really freaked me out.
Props on the speed racer t shirt Holden! As a fellow speed racer fan myself its nice to see my boy get some recognition on social platforms, especially much more in recent years.
I love the reaction. I would like you guys to react all the series, but if you have to choose only one sequence, I'd suggest you to watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors. It's considered the best sequel among fans and it's a direct sequel to the first one (the second one is ignored along the series, they changed the rules of the first and Freddy possesses the protagonist body to murder in the real world). Nancy is back on three, Patricia Arquette and Laurence Fishbourne are on it too. In terms of creativity of the kills, this movie is a step above. It's a very fun ride. There is also New Nightmare, the comeback of Wes Craven to the franchise with his meta aproach before scream. So, 1-3-7 is a great trilogy within the franchise.
To be fair, this series has changed the rules in almost every movie. It's best to just watch each film accepting that the boundaries between dream and reality are fluid and that there are some almost intentional inconsistencies to heighten the unease.
ANOES 2 was not ignored. It makes sense as to why he's strong in ANOES 3. Because of the ending in ANOES 2. And what happens in ANOES 3. No spoilers please for Holden and Jen. In case if they ever do see ANOES 2 and etc.
The explanation about cordless phones ringing was gold 😂
When I was a kid, I was right in the movie and with every "boo" moment until Freddy yelled in pain as the light bulb blows up next thim because that's a yell you'd hear in a episode of "SCOOBY WHERE ARE YOU? then I'd be happily laughing.
in a deleted scene, (that in my opinion, should NOT have been deleted) it was revealed that Nancy's sister was one of Freddie's victims, which helps to explain why Nancy's parents participated in tracking Freddy down and also explains why Nancy's mom had a serious drinking problem.
The scene you were questioning with the wall moving was actually practical, they made a fake wall with some sort of plastic while freddy pushed into it :)
The female school teacher you mentioned being in the movie Insideious is actually the sister of Bob Shay (producer of the film and one of the top guys at New Line Cinema).
I would advise you guys to jump straight to NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3. I think both of you will appreciate that it's set primarily in a hospital, and Jen will appreciate getting more backstory on Freddy.
Fun fact: the scene of Glenn's (Johnny Depp's character) bloodshower was done by building a set with everything nailed down, rotating the room basically being upside down, taking a lot of crew members to make it happen. Then they just poured the blood colored water from the hole in the bed and filmed the outcome. It actually caused a "not so small" incident when the water fried the electrical items and other things going wrong. With what happened in entirety, it was a miracle no one got seriously hurt. But they got the shot in one and it looks great
The damn creativity and risks with old movies to cut costs and make great effects both horrifies and amazes people.
Fun fact Robert England was roommates with a young upcoming star that he informed about a casting call for a small indy film syfy
And talked him in to going and trying out for the roll of one of the lead rolls. The movie was Star Wars and the roommate was Mark Hamil.
I actually think Freddy vs Jason is kind of fun for what it is
Yh I agree
the bedroom scene, where she's rolling around on the ceiling, was acheived by building an upside down set and filming it upside down. the same idea was used for fred astaire in 1951's "royal wedding" where he dances on the ceiling. the kid in the corner watching her on the ceiling is a "back-projection" of the ceiling footage was filmed with him in front of it. he was basically filmed watching a film of her on the ceiling that was shot at an earlier date. its not likely they used a "green screen" because that technology wasn't perfected yet in 1984.
Fun fact:Heather Langenkamp stars as Dr Stanton on Netflix’ series by modern horror auteur Mike Flanagan in The Midnight Club!
Fun fact Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) now does special effect makeup and runs a special effects company with her husband they have done the special effect makeup for films like dawn of the dead, cabin in the woods and tons more
Nice fact for you guys, the scene in which you see Nancy sleeping with Freddy's face and arms coming through the wall was achieved by them putting some latex over a hole and pushing into it, very simple but clever!
The scene with Tina climbing the walls and being on the ceiling was a rotating room and the actor that played Rod was in a cage that was hanging just off the set so it looked like he was still in the corner of the room. She just kept crawling while the room rotated.
I would love for you guys to do all of them. Most reaction channels just do the first one - and thus miss out on some of the most iconic kills and lines in the series.
The bedrooms where Tina and Glenn were killed were in fact the same one. It was a room that was made to spin around and upside down. Giving the illusion that Tina was being dragged around, and Glenn's blood straight up. If you watch that scene again, you can see his blooding start seeing his blood and other objects shifting to one side. It's because the blood had started to pool up in one corner and was shifting the room. And the reason it's seems like there are multiple endings, is because Wes Craven wanted one. Executive producer Bob Shaye wanted another. Lots of arguing. And they decided to just use em all. Also, I've met Robert Englund at comicon a couple years back and got his autograph. I was so nervous, and he ended up being the nicest person. Loved this video and reaction! Happy season of scares!
Easily a Top 5 Horror Film for me. Robert Englund is always so captivating and seeing him in Stranger Things S4 was an awesome cameo.
Something neat about Robert Englund is that in 1977 he was friends with Mark Hamill, I think roommates as well, and he's actually the one who convinced Mark to go and audition for some sci-fi picture called Star Wars
I'd love to see you guys do some of the sequels. Part 3 is a must watch.
The bedroom scenes were done by building a set on a giant wheel. So everything was starched and as she started going up the wall and onto the ceiling the set was rotated until the ceiling was on the ground. There was a camera attached to the set that turned upside down with the set. Rod was strapped into a chair to also rotate with the camera behind him.
The same was was redecorated and used in Glenn's death the same thing was done turned it upside down and and sprayed a gallons of cow blood with fake blood into the room.
Final fact is those scenes and that set were build on the same studio where I Love Lucy was filmed.
Still a great classic to this day. The fact that someone can haunt you in your dreams is terrifying. Great reaction all around Mr. and Mrs. Hardman.
One of my favorite documentaries is "Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy". It covers all of the films, including "Freddy vs Jason", along with the TV series. It expanded how simple, yet affective, some of the effects are. Tina's death was done using a room that was built and could be spun around. Freddy coming out of the wall in the dark was just spandex and good lighting. When Rod's actor was in jail crying, it was real because the actor was going through a lot at the time, and realized that could be where he'd be if he didn't fix himself.
I've watched it more times than I've watched any of the movies put together. I like a lot of things about 1 and the stories behind it from Craven's childhood encounters to the studio interference (I like knowing that Wes wanted a story about good vs evil where good wins and the movie, after all the spills and chills, has a 'good morale' that we can overcome our fears).
I ended up having to watch 2 to make up my own mind about it. I don't know if I can say I'm 'glad' I watched it, but the female lead is a gem and my brain loves the way that I can't fit the opening nightmare into either the horror or comedy category. Overall once was plenty of times for me to see part 2.
I appreciate 3 and I guess 'enjoy' some things about it.
But I was hyped to rent New Nightmare when it first hit video. I loved the premise. Expected to enjoy the movie and I very much did. I've re-watched the 1, 3, 7 trilogy at least once I think. As many times as I watch the documentaries -- I just can't convince myself I need to sit straight through any of the others/again.
I adored Wes Craven's Nightmare Cafe! For six, short, sweet, magical weeks it was the number one show I looked forward to every week and was heartbroken when it ended much, much too soon. It really helped me 'open up' to Wes and Robert and give the Elm street series the attention that I have given it over the years. Rob and Wes were crafting with Robert's Blackie character what I think would have been one of the all time great TV characters. At least equal with Fantasy Island's Mr. Roarke and anything that ever came out of Lost. He was enigmatic and entrancing. We were robbed, but not in the way we were hoping for. Also I definitely had a crush on Fay, but it didn't stop me from rooting for Frank.
I always thought that Nancy realizes at the very end of the movie that it is her mother's dream that she is in, not hers. Nancy has defeated Freddy at this point, so he can't come after her in Nancy's, or her friend's dreams. The sequence with the car is Freddy simply moving Nancy and her friends out of the picture, so he can then proceed to attack one of the people he really hates, Nancy's mom.
Nancy's shouts of "Mother!" is our heroine desperately trying to get her mom to wake up from the dream before Freddy gets her.
Part 2 of the franchise does give the audience one, brief line of dialogue about the final date of Nancy's mom.
As a doctor, I don't think I would ever describe dreams as "body hocus pocus" if a patient asked
Are you seriously telling me, as a doctor, you've never had to hand-wave anything to strengthen the flimsy foundation of a high concept terror entity?
@@DMFX1 Lol so dreams are generally thought to be a product of memory consolidation and processing- the brain putting away important memories for access later. One of the primary hypothesis regarding PTSD is a failure to complete this process, which leads to constant reprocessing and reexperiencing.
FUN FACT: Johnny Depp was just a dude in a band who was friends with child star Jackie Earle Haley at the time. Jackie went to audition for a role in the original Nightmare and Johnny went with him. Jackie did not get the role, but Wes Craven’s daughters saw Johnny, thought he was hot and told their dad to cast him. Johnny went on to super stardom and not so much for Jackie, however in a strange twist of fate, Jackie Earle Hailey wound up playing Freddy Krueger decades later in the remake.
The scene with Tina on the ceiling was in fact done on a rotating bedroom set. Jsu Garcia (Rod) was strapped into a seat in the corner and as the room spun Amanda Weiss (Tina) crawled across the walls and ceiling. Also Lin Shaye, the lady from Insidious, is the sister of producer Robert Shaye. Robert Shaye started New Line Cinema by renting out old movies he bought the rights for to colleges for special screenings and then eventually rereleasing old movies like Reefer Madness and the OG Texas Chainsaw in theaters. This all lead to him funding A Nightmare on Elm Street. Originally it opened the same night as Silent Night Deadly Night, with Silent Night actually making more money opening weekend. But they were running trailers for Silent Night during prime time tv in the evenings. Leading to little kids being scared of Santa Clause (both of these movies released in November btw), which itself lead to a bunch of angry moms getting Silent Night pulled from theaters, later gaining it a cult following on VHS. But that combined with word of mouth lead to Elm Street going on to become the success that lead to the rest of the franchise. This franchise is very much the reason New Line became what it became and lead to other franchises like TMNT, The Mask, Dumb & Dumber and even New Line buying Friday the 13th from Paramount (which is of course how Freddy vs Jason eventually happened). In 1994 Robert Shaye sold New Line to TBS for half a billion dollars, which lead to franchises like Mortal Kombat and Friday. And 2yrs after that TBS was acquired by WB which lead to (obviously) several other franchises like Austin Powers, Spawn, Blade, Rush Hour and even American History X. All of this culminated in New Line being able to buy the rights to Lord of the Rings in the late 90's. So without Freddy we don't get all of those other franchises, at least not in the same way. The Movies That Made Us on Netflix has an episode on A Nightmare on Elm Street that I'd highly recommend! Hope to see a lot more of the horror content from you guys! Marvel's Werewolf By Night is definitely very fitting for October
I saw this when I was 17 year old (1984) and I could not sleep for a few weeks. Freddie was and is a most terrifying character.
Fun Fact, the Desk SGT. at the police station also played the Sheriff in SCREAM.
Tina's death with her being dragged to the ceiling was done with a rotating room. Rod and everything in the room was strapped down and the light coming in from the window was also spinning with the room so the shadows didn't move.
Fun fact, my eighth-grade science teacher was the Little girl jump roping 4:34
How is this possible to have never seen this movie before. Very difficult to hear someone say they are a horror fan but mix up the guy with the meorrw and the hockey mask.. oh boy lol
Honestly it’s so funny seeing Jenn freak out with horror stuff… can’t wait to see more of it!!
HOLLY SHIT HOLDEN WAS THAT A SUPERNATURAL REFERENCE. Dude you're taste in cinema and tv is phenomenal. Only cause it's exactly the same as mine
A extra nice aspect of Robert Englund's role in Stranger Things was that he was explaining the murdering trance-monster to a girl called Nancy.
This is my favorite movie. I'm glad you guys are watching it. Now people won't forget his name.
1,2 freddys coming for you, 3,4 better lock the door, 5 ,6 grab your crufix, 7,8 better stay up late, 9,10 never sleep again🤘🤘
Jen's reaction to Freddy's hand coming up in the bath made me laugh so hard. I had been anticipating it expecting some sort of outburst but no, total fear induced shutdown lol
Wow Thanks but I'm in the UK so guess I don't qualify.
The doctor is played by Charles Fleischer aka the voice of Roger Rabbit. The English teacher was also Magda in There's Something About Mary. I love these old school cameos. Also, I suggest you two check out Freddy's Nightmares on Tubi. It was a Twilight Zone/Outer Limits-style TV show that aired back in the late '80s. Freddy became so popular that they gave him his own TV show. Very campy, very late '80s but worth a watch (it wasn't a long series, I think it was on for 1 season).
But are they cameos if they're from people that have not become famous yet?
There was a deleted part of that scene where Nancy's Mom tells her about Freddy and what he did when they were children. Nancy had a sister that was killed by Freddy when she was younger. Multiple endings shot as well.
Holden depending on which bedroom scene you were referring to the Freddy stretching through the wall was just white spandex or similar material stretched flat like a wall. Robert Englund would press his face and hands into it, add some creative lighting and voila! They did it with CGI in the remake and it looks HORRIBLE!
The other scene with Tina going up the walls and ceiling was done with a rotating room built on a gimbal.
I know the Depp death scene was after your comment, but that was a room built upside down and tons of fake blood poured through a hole in the "bed / ceiling" the film was then flipped to create the blood geyser effect.
To create the effect of Freddy Krueger coming through the wall to get to Nancy, special effects designer Jim Doyle came up with the idea of creating a wall with a hole and spandex over it, so that Krueger could press against it and give the illusion that he was trying to reach Nancy through the wall.
The Teacher is Actually Lin Shaye, Robert Shaye's sister. Robert is The Owner of New Line Cinema, The Put Their Lat on The NOES (Nightmare on Elm Street) in hopes that it would become the success that it did. They actually say Nightmare on Elm Street is the house that built New Line
rods neck was broken - u can hear the crack...thats why he died so fast
Yessir!! Now when y’all are reacting to my favorite horror franchise of all time!!🔥🔥can’t wait til y’all get to my favorite one which is dream warriors
Fun fact the room scene was a mechanical room that was flipped. I recommend you watch never sleep again wich gives you the history of the franchise
Hello Holden and Jenn, I recommend watching the first episode of the tv series Freddy's Nightmares( not the entire series).That chapter tells the origen of Freddy, starring Robert Englund himself
Glen was taken by the Freddy blender lol. There's an interview with Wes Craven and he goes on to tell how he was creeped out by "Freddy" as a kid. A guy followed him and when he got home he looked out the window and the guy was staring up at him, he was wearing a striped red and green jumper and a brown fedora style hat aka the inspiration for Freddy's wardrobe.
There is a show on Netflix called “the Movies that made us” in season 3 they have an episode on Nightmare on Elm Street, in that episode they explain how they did the special effects.
All the murders happened, the final sequence was one last dream and left it up to interpretation if Nancy died or not.
The reason for that was the uncertainty of Nancy actor Heather Langenkamp returning for the next film or future projects.
As most of us know she did return as Nancy in the 3rd instalment in this franchise. Also A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors was by far the best film in this franchise
Fun fact: Both the scene where Tina is killed on the ceiling and the scene where Johnny Depp is killed in his bed with the blood on the ceiling,a rotating set was used
For the scene of Tina's death, there are rotating sets that have been used in other films and music videos... There's Lionel Richie's "Diancing on the ceiling" music video from 1986; you can also go older with Fred Astaire doing a dance number on walls and ceiling in the 1951 film "Royal Wedding".
:)
The Movies That Made Us on Netflix has an episode that goes into the details of how some of the effects were done. Holden would probably dig it.
The direct sequel to this movie is actually part 3 - Dream Warriors. Really worth a watch.
My mom mixes up Freddy and Jason too, I didn’t know it was that common of a thing to do lol
Holden, ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ friggin ROCKS!!! You bite your tongue 😆
Given that Jen likes the premise of the villain going into dreams, you should add Dreamscape to your list, for another 80s "classic".
Fun fact the doctor at the clinic where Nancy and her mother go to is played by Charles Fleisher who does the Voice of Roger Rabbit. :) that might be another film you guys want to check out if you haven't seen the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Yes!!! I want them to react to it.. honestly I can’t wait for them to do it to see Jenn’s face about Jessica Rabbit
Jen said they watched it privately in an older video. It’s one of Jen’s favorite movies
@@littlesparrow303 Jen said they watched it privately in an older video. It’s one of Jen’s favorite movies
Robert Englund is one of the most delightful actors you could ever meet and he truly loves his fans.. Especially if you know his other work such as when he played the Phantom of the Opera, or the kindly alien "Willie" from the TV series "V"..
The bedroom scene was shot with a room they made that could be rotated upside down. They reused it for Johny Depps death scene as well.
My first ever memory of seeing a movie in a movie theater was this one. Yea, my mom was one of those people.
To this day the blood geyser scene in the bedroom is SEARED into my memory. I was terrified to sleep in my bed for years.
If you're interested in a lot of the background on this film, Netflix series "the movies that made us" does have an episode going into all this, including how they filmed the bedroom scenes.
the sequals get better as they found their grove with how Freddy acts
So the kill were she’s on the ceiling and walls it’s actually a rotating room. They actually use the room again for Johnny Depp’s kill. That’s why you can see the blood running down to one side!
The biggest thing to remember when watching slashers is the bar is pretty low overall, so when you get a movie like this its actually really good in comparison.
You can call Freddy vs Jason a cash grab, I call it a loveletter to the fans of both characters. It may not be Oscar worthy, but it's fun!
best thing with landlines phone were when the annoying salesman called, you just put phone to side and then he could not call out again, he had to wait to make a call until i hanged up, which sometimes took half a day lol, now days they call 1000 numbers at once and talk to the person who pick up first, if few hundred gets blocked is no problem, next day it is up to 1000 numbers again on the server to call out from
After seeing this, y'all should definitely do more horror movies.
So glad u guys liked this. I grew up with a friend of mine loving 80s slasher movies we watched every Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. I hope u guys will eventually do Freddy vs Jason i have a nostalgic soft spot for it.
Holden, Jen, there's a parody group called The Merkins, who have created a boy band called Slashstreet Boys. As the name suggests they are a Backstreet boys parody using iconic horror movie villains: Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Jason Voorhies and Ghostface. Their music videos are definitely worth taking a look at, for Halloween.
y'all definitely should check out West Craven's New Nightmare, if you only watch one more. Nightmare 3 Dream Warriors will be a great one to watch as well since it deals with exactly what y'all mentioned about controlling your dreams.
Fun fact: The doctor overseeing Nancy's sleep study is the actor that voiced Roger Rabbit.
Really like that this was Johnny Depp's debut film credit. As for the room effects, the production crew nailed the furniture down and made the room a rotating room.
I love how you guys felt like you needed to explain corded phones 😂😂
I love this franchise. I met Robert at Comic Con. I got his autograph on my Nightmare on Elm street box set. There were children at the con and when he saw them he said his “Fresh meat line to them.”
Good to see you guys are expecting again how far along is Holden??
I recommend watching Dead Meat's "Kill Count" episode covering this movie. James goes into detail about how certain death scenes were made and he explains why the ending scene is a little weird
When I was a kid, I just read about the movie and saw a still of Freddie Krueger. I was absolutely terrified from the premise and that image alone, and for years whenever I saw Krueger anywhere (TV magazine, trailers etc.) I just felt immediately scared or (once I was a bit older) uncomfortable, even after I started enjoying other (and more terrifying) horror films.
Funnily enough, the thing that helped me get over this fear/discomfort with Freddy ... was Mortal Kombat 9, which had Freddie as a DLC guest fighter. I bought the Komplete Edition and, while I refused to play as Freddy; in random Arcade Ladder-matches I just beat the crap out of Freddy when he appeared a couple of times. And just like that, my fear/discomfort was gone.
Along with Count Dracula, Freddy Krueger is and has been my favorite horror character for decades. If we lived in a world where "movie monsters were real, I think Freddy would be the most dangerous and frightening.
Reasoning: If you want to avoid a shark attack , stay out of the water. If you want to avoid Jason Vorhees/Michael Myers, stay away from Crystal Lake/Haddonfield. There are ways to defend yourself against Dracula with crosses/garlic and such.
Avoidance is all but impossible with Freddy because eventually everyone has to sleep. Once you do, Freddy has free reign to come after you.
The deaths of Tina Grey (first victim) and Glen (Johnny Depp) were both achieved by building the rooms as a rotating set. With everything "secured" they were able to 'spin' the room and make the floor the ceiling, etc.
This film used to fully haunt me lmao, I watched it once as a kid and used to always think about it when I was about to sleep
We used to watch these when we were under 10 years old. 80’s were great. Hellraiser 2 was a blast!
