Lisa Wilcox is amazing. I have so many autographed memorabilia from her, from trading cards to cinema stills. She's communicated to me through Twitter and left some of the nicest comments. She also follows me! What a great actress she is. Her video clip when she gets ready to fight Freddy is my main video clip on Twitter. She actually loves it and is surprised she has so many fans. I thought she was the best final girl in the Nightmare series....and she never got killed! She was the only one to beat Freddy! She did awesome in this film and her fans love her and her acting! Alice was my favorite!

[@mikeg5872]

Hi Jay ,Did you know Know That Nancy's house from a Nightmare on Elm Street 4 was also Laurie Strodes house in the tv version of Halloween?

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Your dreaming this whole thing.😂 Your probably in bed right now.

I appreciate everything you do for us horror fans. ❤❤

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Kenny I appreciate you

[@j.d.contreras392]

@@TampaJay Thank you for this video. I loved it as well as the all the 80's kids did! Good work! Lisa Wilcox made that film happen! She was the best part of all of it.

[@screamrad218]

Yeap! Same here

has he been in a horror film himself or directed one

[@sabrinaprince8577]

Venice High school was only one of the schools that was used in Grease. Huntington park high school was used in the part with the bleachers where Danny and Sandy sing Summer Lovin. For the carnival part that was filmed at John Marshall High School and South Gate High School was also used for the front as Rydell High. Just thought I give you a few EXTRAS.. Great job!!! Love the videos😊😊😊

[@angelalinderman9985]

I love horror movies so much!!!! This one is underrated in my opinion! Alice house is smaller than it looks on screen. I didn't like Kristen being killed off but it introduced us to Lisa Wilcox playing Alice and I really loved her character! It's just a bonus that I just watched " Grease" the other day also! Thanks Jay! 👍😁🎬💜

[@TampaJay]

My fave next tot the original It’s fun and campy to the original. Love it. Thank you so much.

[@j.d.contreras392]

I wish Patricia Arquette would have returned, but she was only 17 at that time. I loved part 4 as my favorite, but it wasn't the same. Arquette had the scream down perfectly and knew what to expect. Tuesday Knight was honestly boring and dull. Her acting skills are terrible. I DO love her singing though. She sang the main song for the movie: Nightmare. She's just not a good actress, but she is a good singer. Lisa Wilcox was born to play that role. She was amazing.

[@ForEternia]

@@j.d.contreras392 Patricia Arquette did not return as she didn't want to do another horror film. She was pursuing more dramatic and meatier roles. It had nothing to do with her age. Which BTW she was 20 not 17. But I do agree with the rest of your comments about her and Tuesday Knight.

[@j.d.contreras392]

@@ForEternia She was 18 years old. Google it. I was off by one year. She was still really too young and did not want to do anymore horror films. She's still a really great actress and then went on to do Stigmata which didn't make any sense to me because that was a horror film as well. Nevertheless she was still a teenager. She just didn't want to do horror films.

[@j.d.contreras392]

@@ForEternia I didn't know she was pregnant for part 4 either. That's the main reason she wasn't casted for The Dream Master. She would've played a great role coming back as Kristen. She was way better than Tuesday Knight. Love your feedback though. Thanks.

[@old_school_4ever]

Ok, I was eager for this video to get to the beach scene, I was lucky to be there where they filmed all the beach scenes. I used to live in the area. I witnessed the Jaws Claw and how they did it, also the sand castle explosion and lucky enough to give Freddy Krueger my poster for him to sign. Not Robert Englund but Freddy Krueger. I can tell you that when it was filmed, there were no palm trees at all. Film crew brought the sand, the palm trees. When Freddy Krueger came out to film, he screamed at us kids and said... "STARING ISN'T POLITE!" great video!! Part 3 and 4 are my favorite. Especially 4 because of what I experienced.

[@waltebanataw4738]

Priceless and amazing job about NOST4, one of my favorites chapters of the saga, surprisingly the Lisa´s House still looks like 30 years ago. Impressive !

[@robertrich9336]

Enjoyed, and definitely Nightmare on Elm Street, was a new kind of scary when it came out. I watched it so many times at the theater back then! People would run out of the auditorium screaming 😂

[@stephaniehoughlin9200]

My favorite Nightmare movie. Thank you for tracking down the locations!!! Loved it!!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you!

[@mikey90504]

TJ, you are one of the best youtubers on film locations. So much dedication, research and sweat! Enjoy your vids. Congrats on your recent engagement!!

[@TampaJay]

Thanks Mikey I appreciate you

[@chuckyluvsu13]

I totally agree with you. This is my favorite Nightmare on Elm Street movie as well. Thanks for the great video.

[@willfade7994]

Thank you for this! I grew up in the San Fernando Valley/Los Angeles and I recognize so many of the locations! My Dad lived in Los Angeles, not too far from Griffith Park. He took me to that park and the Observatory often. I clearly remember him taking me to that big fountain and we threw pennies in and made wishes back in the mid-late 80’s when I was a little girl. I never realized that so many familiar places were the filming locations for the one and only ‘Nightmare’ movie I got to see in a theater. I was only 9 years old then but I was obsessed with NOES throughout most of my youth. Part 4 will always be my favorite because it was the first time I met my Mom’s then-boyfriend. I’d already seen ‘Nightmare 3’ and he wanted to impress me, so against their better judgement, they took me to see part 4 one Friday night at a very crowded theater in Encino. I literally met him in the car when they picked me up for a “surprise” and took me to the movie. That boyfriend of my Mom’s became my Stepdad and we remain close all these years later. I will always remember thinking it was the coolest movie I’d ever seen! Where did all the years go?! It’s crazy that so many of the locations still look pretty much exactly the same 35+ years later! Excellent video! I’m new to your channel. Thanks for what you do. Keep it up! 🌹

[@douglasboggs85]

I met most of the cast of this one back in October at Scarefest in Kentucky

[@TampaJay]

That’s awesome!

[@crush41gb]

Super Awesome, buddy! We were at the Elm St. house in 2012 and it still had the red door, which I prefer lol, but, 3 and 4 are my favorite Nightmare sequels!

[@TampaJay]

3 and 4 my fave sequels as well to the original thank you!

[@crush41gb]

@@TampaJay Thank you! Absolutely with the original for me as well! 😀 The Beach scene looks like where the Rocketeer first skipped across after that first flight. Excellent Columbo skills on the beach location! 😉

[@LektroQuinn]

Really cool Video. There's nothing in this World that I love more than the Dream Master. Btw. the Crave In Interior was a Set. They only used the outside facade. Lisa Wilcox said that in her own little KZbin miniseries where she visited old filming locations from the Dream Master a couple of years ago.

[@koreancardboard]

Amazing job on this video, Jay! So much detail. You never miss a thing. You, Kurt and Adam are my favorites for these filming locations!

[@vincevillanueva6216]

Great video!!! In 2020, during the pandemic on Halloween, I decided to go to the Nightmare House (on Genessee) and it was cold, foggy and no one else was on the street. SO eerie!! I've been to a lot of the other sites for Nightmare as well, so let me know the next time you are in LA and we'll check them out!!

[@rustyblades2566]

Great job man. Loved every minute of it. Shame the put a fence up around the Elm Street house though. Saw parts 4,5 and 6 (Freddy's dead) w/ my mum here in the suburbs of Sydney. Great times🙂

[@sweethartjen]

Oh Jay, thank you so much for this video! This was the first "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie I ever saw, way back when I was 11 years old, and it began my love for all things Freddy!

[@OffRampAdventures]

Nightmare On Elm Street is the one horror movie I can watch without my hands over my eyes! Nice tour!

[@bayousmackerdixford3389]

Beautiful fun locations...houses etc we actually know the folls whom reside on Beachwood bro much appreciation HORROR NEVER DIES

[@Doublekicker74]

Great job as always, Jay! I love filming location videos and you do an awesome job matching and lining things up just right! Looking forward to more of what is..... much ahead. 👍 👍

[@Thisusernameisnttaken]

I love that you mentioned the gate from Halloween. No one and I mean no one ever points it out except me lol you added validation to my nerdness 😂

[@thunderwarrior1759]

Back when it was first released on cinemas in my hometown they would show one through four in an all night screening,they did the same with one to three and put Evil Dead one and two with them. The scene when they keep looping had me going crazy and the scene with “Rick you little meatball” had laughing out loud big time. The dream stuff is done easily the best in this movie

[@kendallstephens9901]

These videos are ALL amazing! I appreciate all the hard work and hours you put into them!

[@CUTECADAVRA]

Incredible investigation, great job ! You found some places that I had never seen elsewhere. Thank you some much for sharing 😉 Dream Master is one one of my fav chapter

[@anthonyruiz7176]

Was actually at the park when they were filming. Grew up down the street in the projects. Also got a few pictures with Freddy. We kind of got past security and was able to get into his trailer.

[@magiccheeseball]

Amazing job on this! It's always cool seeing your matchups that's some great detective work finding all those places! That Beach sure changed a lot its cool seeing it matched up with the Treeline from now

[@rodneybarr5735]

This video was alot of fun. Parts 3 and 4 are my favorite Nightmare sequels. The details you covered are awesome

Omg Tampa Jay thank you so much this is also one of my favorites from the Nightmare on Elm St series waited so long for someone to do these locations and in honor of Freddy and his famous line from this movie HOW SWEET FRESH MEAT 🎥🍿 😱

[@justinhuston6855]

Your obsessive attention to detail is greater than my own (although mine is a result of my Asperger's Syndrome) Major bonus points for finding the beach location and exactly where the scenes were filmed

Great review Jay, really enjoyed this, I visited l.a in 2013 and did the Hollywood bus tour while there of film locations and saw the grease school and Hollywood homes, Venice beach etc, and I didn't know about the Freddy trivia and I enjoy part 4 too. And made my dreamz come true last year in London's summer horror con of finally getting a chance to met Robert englund as a guest appearence, it was awesome we both had our gloves lol and he got into character for photo shoots making Freddy grunts etc. Many thanks, greetings from uk. P.s the federal bank blew me away- scene from Heat, and the tour went passed pancinos modest terricata Spanish style home, yeah was amazing. As a skate board fan as well as a horror fan and conventions, Venice beach blew me away as of the history of skateboarding. Great stuff, I've subbed, look forward to watching your posts and learning on your experience in the film trivia

26:26 The building on the left reminds the famous painting, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Gottfried Helnwein (from 1984) ~ It's not an exact match; but when I saw it, I had immediately thought of the painting. The Art-Deco architecture fits perfectly within the framework of the setting.

[@amovertedero3884]

Amazing !

[@noellesimagination7813]

These locations are great!

[@Dude-oh8vq]

Nice work! I actually spent quite a few hours two years back, trying to find the location of the beach scene. I couldn't find anyone mentioning the location, or any location info about it, so I went back and found that old photo of Robert sitting in his chair, in makeup and outside on the beach set with Tuesday, and tried to piece things together. The main thing that stood out to me was that in the far background it looked like there was either an amusement park or a factory, barely visible. I went online and searched most of the Los Angeles factories and tried to see if I could spot any pond or lake nearby with a lot of greenery, or a golf course, as the scene from the film resembled a golf course from across the way. I wasn't having much luck on basic Google, so I then went to Google maps and spent hours looking around until I finally found the spot that matched most heavily to the scene and to the BTS photo with the factory (Phillips 66 company. I believe they even filmed part of the boiler room scenes here as well, along with the soundstage work of course) in the background. Machado Lake is what I guessed to the be location, and it helped that I remembered one of the actors mentioning that it was filmed near San Pedro. It wasn't until a couple of years later when I started hearing the cast actually mention the location by name. Google maps might be a little too big brotherish, but it's fun to practice detective skills.

Thank you for sharing the filming locations for NOES 4. This also happens to be my favorite Nightmare. It was the first Nightmare I saw in theaters so that is partly why I consider it my favorite. I remember not eating pizza for a week after seeing that meatball pizza. BTW I could not find that book anywhere on Amazon or any retailers. Any chance you know where else I can purchase a copy?

[@Dreaklock]

The Dream Center is also from Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers (theatrical cut). The entire ending at Smith's Grove was filmed there. You should see if you can find the hallways from movie and match them up. (Such as the "Maximum Security" hallway, the area where Michael slaughters the room full of doctors, and where he chases Tommy and Kara down the underground tunnel with red lights).
