My favorite and felt like more of a follow-up to the original, with the rules being back to normal and remaining consistent throughout the rest of the series. Matrix rules essentially, you die in your head movie, it's for realsies
Nope that’s one of them moments in this franchise that sticks out for me, like their first face2face since the last one and it’s a big blow up, it always makes the hairs all over, stand straight up on me 😬
No, it's an important moment in the film and especially not only Freddy for seeing her again but Nancy for the same reason. It's supposed to be a "uh oh" kind of moment.
“YOU” - Freddy to Nancy The Nancy/Freddy reunion is one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise. The way he delivers that single word line with such contempt haha
The same technique was also applied to Stranger Things 4 when Vecna sees Eleven again ( the scene where Eleven shows up to protect Max). I thought that this was an interesting parallel.
I was gonna come here and say that lol. This was done in 1987 they didn't have CGI that could do something like that yet and it technically WAS practical... there just isn't another way to make a skeleton be animated on the screen that I can think of off hand.
@Lapinporokoira Yeah, I'm not sure how they expected a fight scene with a skeleton to be done without stop motion. in the time this movie was made. That has to be kept in perspective. Honestly, even though the skeleton sticks out and is a little jarring, it is impressive none the less that it was choreographed to be used in a fight scene with real actors. Cuz I'm assuming the stop motion was done on a smaller scale than we see in the scene and then cut into the shot with editing.
@SpinDoc420 I don't think it all has to do with age though. It also has to do with exposure. I'm younger than they are by a handful of years I'm guessing. But most of the horror movies I watched in the beginning were older ones, despite what was out at the time. The reason I said that I don't understand is because they seem to have seen a lot of older films. So I was confused as to why they expected better effects than what were available at the time of the movie's release.
I always feel bad for Kinkaid at the end. Because when he wakes up, he's in a room with three dead bodies...Nancy, Taryn and Will. I dont know how he got away without people pinning those murders on him
42:00 - "That CGI isn't great..." That wasn't CGI. That was a practical puppet with a rear projection screen behind it. Other portions of the fight with Freddie's skeleton were done with stop motion miniatures. Remember your eras: If it came out before Terminator 2, it was a practical effect.
@@davidlopez2276 And they want deep character analysis of every character and for them to get redemption for not paying attention to the kids. It's the third entry in a low-budget horror franchise.
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 Thanks for the advice. There’re usually fine, it’s when they question actual artists’ creative choices like they know what they’re talking about is what bothers me about them. I only bother with this channel when they watch something I’m interested in.
This movie touches on what cant be touched in the physical realm. Evil is real and science although useful in the natural world, will do little to save your life in a crisis of faith. @@mahmudmurad4655
The skeleton swapping between being alive and inanimate was because Freddy's soul was moving around. He was fighting Nancy and the kids until he felt her father and the dude dr screwing with his bones, so he swapped out of the dream and into the skeleton to fight them off.
Thank you to everyone who pointed out that CGI wasn’t a thing when this movie came out and the actual technique was stop-motion. I shouldn’t let that bother me but it’s a technique that deserves more respect than it gets from people raised on CGI.
True but I feel like it is kinda hit or miss in the franchise...stop motion puppet Freddy and even Greta's fridge scene look pretty good. Skeleton fighting freddy and the diving board in Dream Child look kinda crap.
Wes Craven's original script for this was so messed up, a lot of swearing and Freddy was not having any "fun" at all and was k!lling the Elm Street youngsters in a very angry manner. One scary part with Phillip when he is walking as a puppet is when he looks up and can see a giant Freddy puppeting him and Phillip is like "Why are you doing this to me." and a drooling Freddy by like "Cause I like you." In another instance, one kid sees her grandmother in a rocking chair, so the kid runs to hug her and kneels and places her head onto her grandmas lap and she hugs her, before she turns into Freddy and his stomach opens up and eats the kid. In fact, cause he can't eat her fast enough, Freddy gets angry and chops off her legs as she is halfway into him. Plus it has some elements of Freddy's birth as Nancy witnesses it, similar to what we say in Dream Child. Either way, I got scared reading it.
The grandma stomach thing was swapped out for Giant wormhead freddy I'm guessing, the slightly sexually abusive undertone is still there, but not quite as harsh. The original script makes him come across as far far, more menacing and vicious. I like to think on a parallel earth, they kept that script.
@@Lava91point0 Its an odd story indeed, especially the whole Tree thing where Nancy is travelling to find the house Freddy was born in and comes across a young woman who she later sees dead in a tree on a farm if I am not mistaken and her father plays a much bigger role as well. The closest parallel I can think of to the Grandmother scene is where Nancy sees her father and she goes to hug him and he turns out to be Freddy. I should read that script again its been such a long time.
Never thougt I would see a pair of reactors be three movies into a series and still haven't figured out to pronounce the stars name. At this point I think it's safe to say they have no interest in pronouncing it correctly and will just keep mispronouncing it because they think it's funny.
You gotta understand…when this movie came out, the whole running into the wall for the backflip was a new thing to see on camera and everyone in the audience was excited asf when we saw it lol
The car that his body was in was from the final scene in the first movie which connects the events from part 1 and making part 3 the true sequel to the original.
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 same he actually speaks and taunts his victims makes the chase way more interesting vs a slow walk and they somehow pop out in front of you lol Freddy loves the chase
That skeleton was NOT CGI. It's called stop motion animation. CGI literally did not exist in the way that we know it until Jurassic Park in 1993. These were visual effects, but it's not like any of this was generated on a computer. This was still very much hand crafted.
Dream Warriors is without a doubt the best A Nightmare on Elm Street Sequel. It reset the rules again, creating amazing Nightmare/Dream sequences and set designs, and of course the practical effects were top notch. I'm sure by now you know that the skeleton was practical using Stop-Motion Animation. This film really brought a mixture of Horror and Fantasy elements, so it's best really not to overthing the whole thing with Freddy's bones...lol just go with it, but definitely a HUGE step up from Freddy's Revenge bringing back Wes Craven as Co Writer.
There is a theory (which may have been confirmed at some point) that the light, in the window of the dollhouse at the end, isn’t confirmation of Freddy returning, but actually a nod to Nancy watching over the doctor. This makes sense to me considering where we “find” Freddy in the following movie.
Roxy, i dont understand how you are having trouble with the last name. How do you say England? its just that but Lund instead of Land, i dont know how you see the "U" in the middle of the word and transpose its sound onto the "E" at the start. En is not Un, like the name youre saying is Ungland, but its Englund. Its a bit youre doing right?
His last name is pronounced "England" like the country. Also, skeleton Freddy wasn't CG. They used old school stop-motion animation. UA-cam the skeletons scene from Jason and the Argonauts. Definitely an homage. Sorry for the double post.
When Roxy and Tara get to Curse Of Chucky and Cult Of Chucky, Greg better make sure they watch the unrated cuts for those movies since the theatrical cuts don't have the post credit scenes that set up the next installment because Greg keeps skipping the unrated versions like he did with The Descent, Jennifer's Body and the Saw movies.
Dream Warriors is one of my favorite NOES movies. You get Freddy's story, Nancy comes back and Freddy has such a great sense of humor. I hear you talking about the effects, but this was 37 years ago. CGI? LOL That anagram didn't even exist. This came out when I was pregnant and I remember seeing it in the theater. I hadn't seen effects this great before. And since there is really only one spot you two can criticize, I think it holds up really well. Great review and reaction, ladies. ✌💖😃
Please continue with the franchise 😊 Btw, the shocking look on your faces is exactly how we (the fans of franchise) were feeling when Freddy killed Nancy. It still feels raw to watch her die every time I watch Freddy 3. Rest In Peace Nancy🕊️ She was always my favorite final girl ❤😢
i know everyone says oh thats a doll shes holding when she runs from freddy but its meant to look like that since at the end the girl is now a skeleton
The dream scene with Joey and the nurse was actually supposed be a lot creepier. Like the actress was supposed to be naked, but have her head completely in the Freddy makeup. That would’ve been a new level of nightmare fuel.
I never hear anyone discuss it, but Joey being mute due to a traumatic event is never really explained. But he is in the self-harm ward, and when we first see him he has a tear drop tattoo under one eye, usually a symbol that someone has killed another person. My assumption was always that Joey attempted to end his life in a car crash, but instead survived and only claimed the life of another person, explaining the tear drop tattoo and that “he doesn’t talk anymore”. If not a car crash, then some other way he would have attempted on his own life but inadvertently claimed someone else’s.
One thing, that wasn’t CGI, that was old school stop-motion animation. And yes, it does look weird, but back then, that was probably the only way to realize that kind of effect.
The next three aren't great movies, but I think they are worth it for Freddy alone. I especially like the way he kills in 6, they are some of my favorite Freddy kills.
Dream Master is a banger, very fun movie, with a good pacing, a lot of great kills and maybe the best ending of the franchise, the only think that pissed me off was the recasting of Patricia Arquette; Dream Child is way weaker, but still decent, with a visionary direction and great fantasy visual effects and still better than the turd of Freddy's Dead.
The best one in the series! Frank Darabont co wrote the screenplay, and would later direct THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE GREEN MILE, THE MAJESTIC and THE MIST, as well as serving as executive producer for THE WALKING DEAD, and directed the pilot episode
For the record...i had recurring nightmares about Chucky until i became lucid. Them having all those powers when they realized they were dreaming? I do that EVERY time i dream. Zombies? I fly over them. Too weak to throw punches? I use a Kamehameha. Id love a good coma
"Welcome to Primetime, bitch," is one of my favorite one-liners in all of horror. I'd argue this is the second-best film of the franchise. It's the best cast of characters with some of the most creative deaths.
This is my first and favorite Freddy movie!!!!! I use to have a bunch of super hero dreams fighting demons and stuff. Fun facts: • The Freddy glove that was stolen from the set of this film was found in another movie: it was hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II. • Ken Sagoes (Favorite actor at the time) stated in an interview he really didn't want to audition for the role of Kincaid, but his agent talked him into going. On the day of the audition, he walked in heavy rain to catch a bus to the location. He showed up completely drenched and had to sit and wait for a few hours, due to the auditions running late. When it was his turn, Director Chuck Russell told him, "Do whatever you want to do." Sagoes was so frustrated and mad about the whole ordeal that he yelled "F*%#@ YOU!," and then proceeded to scream and cuss out Russell. Russell immediately hired him. • This film is the debut of Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Rubin. • Aftee filming, Robert fell asleep in full makeup and when he woke up, he scared himself. • The fire department was always on set during filming of the boiler room scene. The smoke from the machines nauseated many of the actors and actresses. • When Taryn is first seen in the hallway, she's wearing a Dokken shirt. Dokken wrote and performed "Dream Warriors" for this film. • Although it seems Krueger killed Elaine Parker, Kristen's mother, he did not. She appears in the next film A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.
This film is a great representation of depression. Most people shrug off depression and suicide as a means to get attention or to be a wimp when for those of us who have been through depression and suicide, it is so much more than just that. It does feel like something is controlling us and wants us dead. It does feel like we aren't ourselves when we do it. It's not an easy thing to go through and I feel lucky to have found a way out but a lot of people don't. So when the kids are using their "powers" in the dream, it feels like more of a representation of seeking out things in your life that you love in order to try to find a way out of the "nightmare" that is depression and suicide. Also this is the best in the franchise.
I had the opportunity to meet and work with Heather, Rodney, Ira, Ken, and Bradley a while back, so this was such a nice stroll down memory lane! They were all so lovely, and I even got a photo with Ira the Wizard Master himself! ❤
If you're paying attention. Freddy 's voice would go up and down in ADR. It was intentionally done to reveal his powers manifestation by the souls of the children. 41:04
Not Roxy singing Edgar Allan Poe from Snoopy! The Musical! That unlocked a memory of me performing that show at the International Thespian Festival, back in HS. 😂 👏🏾
Thank you for your awesome reactions. I was just as devastated when I realized Nancy was gone. I am 50 years old and I first saw this movie in the theater. To this day whenever I wake up in the middle of the night to get drink or go to the bathroom, the thought of me thinking I'm awake while in a dream does cross my mind.
This was my introduction to Freddy back in the day. I've seen it, and all of them, multiple times since then but this will always be my sentimental favourite because it was my entry point. I'd have loved to see an extended version where the kids got to fight Freddy together before being separated, some way to give them more time to show off their dream powers, but I still love it. IMO the next one's a step down before 5 & 6 bottom out, with New Nightmare being a massive step up in quality, but they're all good
CGI did not exist at this time ladies. Everything was practical and optical effects. Also blue screens and matte paintings. The skeleton was stop motion, like the T-800 in Terminator. Freddy’s spirit jumped out of the dream and into the skeleton, because he realized that the bones were being moved. Once he immobilized the doctor and Nancy’s dad, he returned into the dream world. That’s why the doctor was able to push the bones into the pit and sprinkle holy water on it.
Jennifer Rubin, the girl that played Taryn went on to become the original Calvin Klein Obsession model and also appeared in the music video for ' Somebody's Crying' by Chris Isaak
I was way too young back in the day, but I always watched with my older cousins. The Phillip sleepwalking scene was traumatizing with the veins for strings and the droning sound effects 😂
It's so funmy that right before I watched your video, I was watching a "GEN Z: DO THEY KNOW HORROR ICONS?" video and thought "I wish we got a Freddy vs Jason sequel like it hinted at!
Thanks for the new reaction. The both of you have good chemistry together and you are responsible for many new subscribers I have to assume, with all due respect to all the other reactors on this channel of course. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing your future reactions.
Great reaction! The two hosts are great together!! Keep up the great work! Also, at the beginning, that is the fuzziest white purse I've ever seen. We will now be looking for it in every video going forward haha
I hate to tell you guys, but the " " CGI skeleton was not CGI!!! It was actually stop motion animation put against a screen. They didn't really have CGI in 1987 yet.
My favorite Women are back!!! What an awesome start to my day,I get to spend time with Roxy and Tara and one of my favorite horror movie franchises of all time and yes ladies please continue the entire Nightmare franchise please I'll be here as always to support my favorite watch review channel. This is definitely the best sequel in the Elm Street films by far but in my opinion the best look of Freddy Krueger is definitely part 2 he's the scariest in that movie in my opinion of course. Thank you so much my Rejects,have a great day and please stay safe and blessed.....love you guy's ❤
The scene with Freddy turning into a snake is forever implanted in my brain. I had nightmares for years. It’s the one Freddy scene that just absolutely haunts me.

True romance. Please y’all would love it

It is
Is this the BEST Freddy sequel??
Hell yes it is
One of the best. New Nightmare is a really good one
Yes! This and "New Nightmare" are both the best, in my opinion, sequels in this franchise.
My favorite and felt like more of a follow-up to the original, with the rules being back to normal and remaining consistent throughout the rest of the series. Matrix rules essentially, you die in your head movie, it's for realsies
WELCOME TO PRIME TIME, BITCH!
Am I the only one that enjoyed the way freddy said "yoooooou" when he saw Nancy? Almost like he was saying...ohhhh I'm definitely gonna get you back.
Nope that’s one of them moments in this franchise that sticks out for me, like their first face2face since the last one and it’s a big blow up, it always makes the hairs all over, stand straight up on me 😬
No, it's an important moment in the film and especially not only Freddy for seeing her again but Nancy for the same reason. It's supposed to be a "uh oh" kind of moment.
Same thing was said when they saw Conan after they put him on the tree
That's an all-time great Freddy moment.
That "YOU" is the most you-est you in all of cinema, especially if you saw the previous ones!
“YOU” - Freddy to Nancy
The Nancy/Freddy reunion is one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise.
The way he delivers that single word line with such contempt haha
I prefer the “Miss me?” Moment
The same technique was also applied to Stranger Things 4 when Vecna sees Eleven again ( the scene where Eleven shows up to protect Max). I thought that this was an interesting parallel.
YESSSSSSS
And they immediately ruin it with a corny LOTR quote 🤦
"Miss me" is my favorite Freddy line delivery! Even though it's not technically Freddy @@ethanself2667
It wasn't "CGI skeleton, it was the old school stop motion technique that Ray Harryhausen championed in the 50s and 60s.

I believe that the stop motion skeleton is a callback to the movie Jason and the Argonauts
I loved the skeleton. Fan of stop motion animation.
I was going to say the same lol!
Yes it made me sad that they didn't realize this was stop motion animation. It is such an impressive achievement
I'm 99 percent sure the Skeleton was stop motion animation. Not CGI.
Yes. Very much in the vein of Ray Harryhausen

CGI didn’t exist. It was stop motion and the skeleton was animated as a homage to Ray Harryhausen.
Dream Warriors is the reason why I stopped being scared in my nightmares. For me, is the masterpiece of the Elm Street movies.
Do you have sexy switchblade powers in your dreams

i know everyone says oh thats a doll shes holding when she runs from freddy but its meant to look like that since at the end the girl is now a skeleton
The dream scene with Joey and the nurse was actually supposed be a lot creepier. Like the actress was supposed to be naked, but have her head completely in the Freddy makeup. That would’ve been a new level of nightmare fuel.
46:08 Tara's reaction to Nancy's death at the end is why this movie is a fan favorite of the franchise.
Part 3 is so much better than 2..
Seeing Nancy die in this one always got me. It still does really. It's still one of the best in the series, though.
Greg and Tara need to watch the greatest Showman
As you two delve into more and more horror, my Palpatine voice comes out, "Good, good!"
Exactly 🤣
Do people nowadays even understand what the letters "CGI" even stand for? Every "non practical" special effect is NOT CGI.
Roxy is a dodo head so I'm just not even surprised anymore when stupid crap comes out of her mouth. It's a common occurrence at this point
One of my favorite nightmare on Elm Street movies
I never hear anyone discuss it, but Joey being mute due to a traumatic event is never really explained. But he is in the self-harm ward, and when we first see him he has a tear drop tattoo under one eye, usually a symbol that someone has killed another person.
My assumption was always that Joey attempted to end his life in a car crash, but instead survived and only claimed the life of another person, explaining the tear drop tattoo and that “he doesn’t talk anymore”.
If not a car crash, then some other way he would have attempted on his own life but inadvertently claimed someone else’s.
One thing, that wasn’t CGI, that was old school stop-motion animation. And yes, it does look weird, but back then, that was probably the only way to realize that kind of effect.
Good luck with 4, 5 and 6! 😂
It get’s good again with New Nightmare!
I also think Freddy vs. Jason is pretty fun.
The next three aren't great movies, but I think they are worth it for Freddy alone. I especially like the way he kills in 6, they are some of my favorite Freddy kills.
Huh? Dream Master Rocks & Dream Child is Decent.
But yeah, Freddy's Dead sucks.
@@Str33tJustus yea they're decent, but they aren't great still. Personally I like even the bad Freddy movies, well except the reboot.
@@foulrot Personally, I think 4 is Great. But I'm the same with the rest, like them all but can acknowledge the bad ones like 2, 6 & the Remake.
Dream Master is a banger, very fun movie, with a good pacing, a lot of great kills and maybe the best ending of the franchise, the only think that pissed me off was the recasting of Patricia Arquette; Dream Child is way weaker, but still decent, with a visionary direction and great fantasy visual effects and still better than the turd of Freddy's Dead.
The best one in the series!
Frank Darabont co wrote the screenplay, and would later direct THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE GREEN MILE, THE MAJESTIC and THE MIST, as well as serving as executive producer for THE WALKING DEAD, and directed the pilot episode
Dream Warriors is one of Dokken's best songs thay did the hole Soundtrack to A Nightmare On Elm 3 Dream Warriors
The whole reason I watched it was because Dokken wrote music for it. The movie was fun to watch too. Win win.
For the record...i had recurring nightmares about Chucky until i became lucid. Them having all those powers when they realized they were dreaming? I do that EVERY time i dream. Zombies? I fly over them. Too weak to throw punches? I use a Kamehameha.
Id love a good coma
Freddy was jumping back and forth between the real world and the dream world with the skeleton. Def my favorite of the nightmare movies.
"Welcome to Primetime, bitch," is one of my favorite one-liners in all of horror. I'd argue this is the second-best film of the franchise. It's the best cast of characters with some of the most creative deaths.
This is my first and favorite Freddy movie!!!!! I use to have a bunch of super hero dreams fighting demons and stuff.
Fun facts:
• The Freddy glove that was stolen from the set of this film was found in another movie: it was hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II.
• Ken Sagoes (Favorite actor at the time) stated in an interview he really didn't want to audition for the role of Kincaid, but his agent talked him into going. On the day of the audition, he walked in heavy rain to catch a bus to the location. He showed up completely drenched and had to sit and wait for a few hours, due to the auditions running late. When it was his turn, Director Chuck Russell told him, "Do whatever you want to do." Sagoes was so frustrated and mad about the whole ordeal that he yelled "F*%#@ YOU!," and then proceeded to scream and cuss out Russell. Russell immediately hired him.
• This film is the debut of Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Rubin.
• Aftee filming, Robert fell asleep in full makeup and when he woke up, he scared himself.
• The fire department was always on set during filming of the boiler room scene. The smoke from the machines nauseated many of the actors and actresses.
• When Taryn is first seen in the hallway, she's wearing a Dokken shirt. Dokken wrote and performed "Dream Warriors" for this film.
• Although it seems Krueger killed Elaine Parker, Kristen's mother, he did not. She appears in the next film A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.
This film is a great representation of depression. Most people shrug off depression and suicide as a means to get attention or to be a wimp when for those of us who have been through depression and suicide, it is so much more than just that. It does feel like something is controlling us and wants us dead. It does feel like we aren't ourselves when we do it.
It's not an easy thing to go through and I feel lucky to have found a way out but a lot of people don't. So when the kids are using their "powers" in the dream, it feels like more of a representation of seeking out things in your life that you love in order to try to find a way out of the "nightmare" that is depression and suicide. Also this is the best in the franchise.
Robert Englund pronounces his last name like England just with a "U." Love your reaction videos ladies!
For 1987 these visuals were amazing. No CGI.
“Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” next, please 🤗 Nancy gets so much respect in that one 🙏 Thanks for your reactions 🫶🥳
stop motion Skeleton at the end was an homage to Jason and the Argonauts :) Best sequel.
Yes Purge and Ring that Bell ladies are back!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 definitely more fun than the second one
49:35 Dr. Gordon was able to push the bones into the grave because Freddy was preoccupied fighting Nancy in the dream.
"Pour one out for Jesus" is hilarious 😂
The best films of this franchise are the first,third,new nightmare,and Freddy vs Jason
Im just so happy you girls are the one reacting to my favorites movies franchises!!! Hi from Argentina 🇦🇷!!
Yes!!!!!! The reaction I have been stalking this channel for lol!! Love love love this one!
I had the opportunity to meet and work with Heather, Rodney, Ira, Ken, and Bradley a while back, so this was such a nice stroll down memory lane! They were all so lovely, and I even got a photo with Ira the Wizard Master himself! ❤
I subscribed to this channel today because I've been watching you two react to horror movies. This is the content I want.
Love this babe
Dream Warriors and Dream Master (4) are my favorites! Can't wait for you to get to the next one!!
My favorites as well.
There was no CGI in 1987. It was all practical and stop motion effects.
ok but you guys are actually my favorite reaction duo
I like the way Freddy Krueger kills people creatively in dreams the kids from Elm Street
If you're paying attention. Freddy 's voice would go up and down in ADR.
It was intentionally done to reveal his powers manifestation by the souls of the children. 41:04
Not Roxy singing Edgar Allan Poe from Snoopy! The Musical! That unlocked a memory of me performing that show at the International Thespian Festival, back in HS. 😂 👏🏾
Omgggg that’s how I know it lmao
Great Reaction Roxy and Tara! This movie is the best sequel from this franchise! 👍
Thank you for your awesome reactions. I was just as devastated when I realized Nancy was gone. I am 50 years old and I first saw this movie in the theater. To this day whenever I wake up in the middle of the night to get drink or go to the bathroom, the thought of me thinking I'm awake while in a dream does cross my mind.
I LOVE THAT YOU GIRLS ARE COVERING THIS ONE❤ Respect for LANGENKAMP ❤🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Finally getting around to binging all of these videos!! Keep up the great work over there guys!!
This is my favorite Nightmare movie just cause it is where the franchise finds the stride of how Freddy acts, the blend of horror and comedy.
Still the best out of the Elm Street movies.
Roxy with the Pad See Ew preference!! But Dream Warriors was my favorite of the NOES movies, glad yall are continuing them!
I'm so glad you're going to watch the entire series. I know not all of them are good but I still wanna watch you watch them.
Roxy and Tara yall both look extraordinary today!😊😍
Reel Rejects, I can't get enough of your content, so I subscribed!
Reel Rejects, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
This was my introduction to Freddy back in the day. I've seen it, and all of them, multiple times since then but this will always be my sentimental favourite because it was my entry point. I'd have loved to see an extended version where the kids got to fight Freddy together before being separated, some way to give them more time to show off their dream powers, but I still love it. IMO the next one's a step down before 5 & 6 bottom out, with New Nightmare being a massive step up in quality, but they're all good
CGI did not exist at this time ladies. Everything was practical and optical effects. Also blue screens and matte paintings. The skeleton was stop motion, like the T-800 in Terminator.
Freddy’s spirit jumped out of the dream and into the skeleton, because he realized that the bones were being moved. Once he immobilized the doctor and Nancy’s dad, he returned into the dream world. That’s why the doctor was able to push the bones into the pit and sprinkle holy water on it.
Sunday morning wakey-bakeys with Tara and Roxy!!!
It wasn’t CGI nor really a “green screen” scene, it was stop motion, like plenty of other older movies.
Jennifer Rubin, the girl that played Taryn went on to become the original Calvin Klein Obsession model and also appeared in the music video for ' Somebody's Crying' by Chris Isaak
I was way too young back in the day, but I always watched with my older cousins. The Phillip sleepwalking scene was traumatizing with the veins for strings and the droning sound effects 😂
It's so funmy that right before I watched your video, I was watching a "GEN Z: DO THEY KNOW HORROR ICONS?" video and thought "I wish we got a Freddy vs Jason sequel like it hinted at!
There's a sequel comic with Ash from "The Evil Dead."
Thanks for the new reaction. The both of you have good chemistry together and you are responsible for many new subscribers I have to assume, with all due respect to all the other reactors on this channel of course. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing your future reactions.
Great reaction! The two hosts are great together!! Keep up the great work!
Also, at the beginning, that is the fuzziest white purse I've ever seen. We will now be looking for it in every video going forward haha
I love Dream Warriors. Love the score, the kids and the cool special effects. xx
Part one, part 3 and New Nightmare make for a great trilogy
I hate to tell you guys, but the " " CGI skeleton was not CGI!!! It was actually stop motion animation put against a screen. They didn't really have CGI in 1987 yet.
Their ignorance is dazzling lol
@@SPLASHGOD575 got to love them though.
My favorite Women are back!!! What an awesome start to my day,I get to spend time with Roxy and Tara and one of my favorite horror movie franchises of all time and yes ladies please continue the entire Nightmare franchise please I'll be here as always to support my favorite watch review channel. This is definitely the best sequel in the Elm Street films by far but in my opinion the best look of Freddy Krueger is definitely part 2 he's the scariest in that movie in my opinion of course. Thank you so much my Rejects,have a great day and please stay safe and blessed.....love you guy's ❤
Yay!
The scene with Freddy turning into a snake is forever implanted in my brain. I had nightmares for years. It’s the one Freddy scene that just absolutely haunts me.
