10 Things You Didnt know About NightmareOnElmStreet 1984

[@Tarathathe77wookiee]

I once heard a story where Robert Englund fell asleep during his makeup session. He woke up alone, saw his reflection in a big mirror and screamed! When I got to meet him at a Supanova, I asked him about it. He grinned and confirmed: it really happened. He was a lovely guy to chat with.

[@boofuls]

Around this time he played Willie in V ..what a departure 😮

[@NOVA35O]

Met Robert Englund. He was the only actor there that didn’t take a break or go for lunch. He stayed their and made sure the line kept moving. He talked everyone like we were his friends. Cool guy. If you have the chance to meet him, do it.

This is so awesome. You guys are right on. I haven’t met him but I would love too. Where did you meet him? After reading these posts and watching this video I had to do it. Why is it 330 AM and I’m up watching Freddy movies. Part 4. Wow 🤩 hbo max has all of them!

He not go get lunch because little kids woud be having heart attacks if they see him an he probly cant eat lunch with make up on

[@EltonAndersonJr]

Robert Englund should go down in history as one of the best casting decisions ever! He was iconic in this role.

[@Kurtsg10]

Still, I think David Warner would have been AS good as Englund and just as iconic. It's a shame that he didn't work out, just like Tim Curry had opportunities to play the Joker that didn't work out. I like Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy (but the shoes may have been just too big for him), but the remake movie was a disappointment.

[@bradfordhatch5085]

It is especially interesting since at the time it seemed as horrible a miscast (at least, to me at the time) as Jesse Eisenberg playing Lex Luthor since irl he looks so... harmless (and up to then had played rather mousey characters like the good alien character Willie in V the miniseries). But he showed some real acting chops and made the role iconic.

[@erichumble2995]

AMEN!

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

Along with McConaughey as Rust Cohle HBO wanted him to play Woodys role but he said he would only do it if he had the Rust role then recommend Harrelson for Marty lol

[@gothgirl4evr881]

He's not just the best Freddy, he's the only Freddy. No disrespect to any future Freddy's but no matter how good they are or how well they pull off the part there will never be anyone to match Robert. It's not a character like Jason or Michael who don't show their faces but also don't talk and Freddy wasn't just scary bc of the face but also his voice it's too unique and recognizable. When you hear it there's no question you know it's Freddy.

[@SaKOTR]

#3 Dream Warriors to this day is still my favorite. Got the NECA figure from that film and a glove signed by Robert at a horror con. Such a great experience. He loves all his fans and wants to spend time talking to each and everyone, the con staff are the one's pushing everyone along basically telling Robert to hurry up lol. Such a down to earth guy. And he came out saying in his freddy voice "You are all my children now!!" and that was one of the most amazing things to personally experience lol

[@john-hu6tt]

I believe you boss, I've been to comacons too, the people working their and security staff could be real assholes. I've heard Robert's a real down to earth guy to talk too, I haven't had the chance too meet him yet, I did meet Kane hodder, he was pretty cool, big guy in person too.

I always like Englund's performances include his earlier stuff back in the 70's. His going from confused, innocent, naive alien in the several V tv series (between 83 and 85) to being the horror master he made Freddy to be was fun to see him show such diverse acting chops in the 80's. How he was brought in to play a creepy seeming janitor for a 2010 episode of Bones, and used in the plot to suspect him as the bad guy instead of the eventually revealed killer was fun to see happen as well.

[@arsenalguy1972]

I've been lucky to meet Robert Englund on a couple of occasions and he is a fantastic man and so engaging with his fans

[@honorablejay]

What always made Freddy so scary to me as a kid was the pure joy he got from psychologically torturing his victims before the actual murder. Other slashers of the time were scary because of their imposing figures or the jump-scare nature of the scenes. Just knowing that Freddy could do anything he wanted to kill you, and seeing the pure joy in his face and expressions while drawing out the moment really took him to the top in my book.

[@chrisharrison3305]

I have met the majority of the cast, and I can easily say they are the most down to earth and sweetest people I have ever encountered. Everyone is proud of what they did and love to hear stories about what their characters mean to us, the fans. Robert is probably the coolest celeb I’ve ever met. So engaging and friendly. I told him I would buy him beers all night just to hear his stories. If any of you out there ever have a chance to meet any of them, do it! You will not regret it. Such good people.

Craven had the original screenplay for A Nightmare On Elm Street already written WELL before he started working on Swamp Thing. There are NO pictures from A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child on that Matchbox doll box. It was released in 1988. Media Home Entertainment released the original 5 films on VHS in the U.S., as part of a last-minute deal that Bob Shaye made in order to get the money needed for the print company to release the film strips of the original movie for distribution. There are differences in the glove in EVERY movie. Same with Englund's make-up AND the sweater. The bathtub set was built on top of a swimming pool, not a "bottomless tub". The school used in A Nightmare On Elm Street was also used in Teen Wolf, and several times in the Freddy's Nightmares television series. Robert Englund has already said, definitively, MANY times, that he is DONE playing Freddy in movies. We were DAMNED lucky that the producers of The Goldbergs managed to convince him to put the make-up on for a single day for their Nightmare On Elm Street tribute episode 3 years ago. Other than the SUPER-RARE "1 day only" in make-up convention appearance for fans, Robert has officially retired from the role for good. ////

Deadly Friend is a great underrated Wes Craven film

Another connection between the two besides Wes directing both and Time Warner distributing both is that Charles Bernstein did both music scores and Roger Rabbit himself Charles Fleischer who's the doc in film also voiced BB in Deadly Friend

The best thing about nightmare is the consistency of it being played by one actor...Robert Englund. Whereas in other franchises like Halloween & F13 there was a different actor in the role from movie to movie, which to me always took away from those franchises. That's why I like the portrayals of Michael from Rob Zombie's movies & current iteration bcuz you've got the same actors portraying Michael.

The garbages No2 and 6 don't even exist for me! And the New Nightmare is a great meta horror movie which gave birth to a whole new genre with its first chilp being Scream.

Amazing this movie came from a dream Wes Craven had. R.I.P. Wes

[@daniellemusella1594]

1] I heard that Josh Brolin and Nicolas Cage were also considered to play Glen. 2] I didn't see the "N.O.E.S." films until my twenties, but I'd already seen a piece of Robert's work. When I was eight years old, I saw a movie that'd come out two years earlier: "The Paper Brigade", and the memory of the slightly-unhinged war veteran who befriends the main protagonist never left me. When the "Never Sleep Again" retrospective came out, and it cut to Robert's first piece of being interviewed, I said to myself, "Wait a second. I know that guy." I Googled him, and I was surprised to feel a little sentimental. 3] Robert loves to talk about the fact that he auditioned for both Han Solo AND Luke Skywalker in "A New Hope", and that he and Mark Hamill are good friends. 4] My interpretation of the original movie's ending came about, courtesy of the first sequel. Shortly after Jesse finds and reads Nancy's diary, he learns that she was taken to a mental hospital. That's when I came up with the idea that this occurred immediately after the events of the first film, and the ending seen by the audience is actually what powerful drugs given by the EMTs caused Nancy to imagine.

I used to rent an old farmhouse near a real life street called Elm Street, and it was a dead-end street with a cemetery at the end. And my friend told me he used to do grounds keeping at the cemetery next to the last house on Elm Street. 😂 I've always thought that sounded like a good, over-the-top name for a spoof movie.

[@Joe-hp8kb]

I didn't see part one until 2 years after it's release when I was in the army. To this day, no other movie has horrified me like this one! There was something about seeing a dead friend in a body bag talking. And the fact that he can kill you in your dreams and you'll never wake up! I've seen hundreds of horror movies that entertained but didn't frighten. This one got to me.

[@JustMe-xv8fx]

I absolutely love this franchise and Freddy was my first slasher I watched. Number 3 to be exact and I still make my dreams before I fall asleep. Also, your memorabilia is awesome and I'm jealous.

[@Eric-dh2hn]

Ah, the one movie that made me have trouble sleeping lol. Although it was such as surprise seeing Robert England as Freddy after the T.V movie V.

Robert englund appeared on an episode of Charlie's Angels. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

I love how in all your outros, you just fall short of being out of view of the camera. Makes me giggle every time. Very nice memorabilia by the way. My favorites were the little action figure with the real knitted sweater and the glove. Good stuff.

[@NOTESOFDISSENT]

Do we have a fun fact for the sweaters change from full red sleeves in the first to sleeves that match the torso colors from the 2nd on? Glad you mentioned Nancy's brother. That bit of information would have made for a deeper story. Thanks Minty 😊

[@justinhowell7073]

The original sweater was stolen when the first movie wrapped up filming. Being a young company still, New Line Cinema opted to buy a similar one rather than having fx make one up which would cost much more. So they bought one and it's been the same style ever since

[@sidnew2739]

A surreal horror classic....! Phenomenal concept from the late great Wes Craven...RIP! Freddy Krueger is obviously one of the most iconic characters of all time. Scary & creepy stuff. Lets not forget Robert England, perfect casting. I must admit ...David Warner would have been very interesting. The makeup test look great!

I watched this in the theater when I was 10. My older brother and I snuck in (you could do that back then). I was NOT ready for it at that time. After Tina’s death my brother turned to me and asked if I wanted to leave. I nodded my head and we bailed. I was so glad he could see I was terrified. I’ve loved horror movies my whole life but I’ll always remember this as the one that took my past my limit!

[@CassidyShadewing]

"I think Englund has one or two more preformances in him. Make it happen." Well the creator of Child's Play just might. His current big desire is 'Child's Play on Elm Street' where Chucky and Freddy meet, sorta fangasm about each other and then challenge each other to see who can kill the most teens before sun rise. He's been in talks since 2017 to try and make it happen.

[@reiterated]

That needs to happen, it sounds like great fun.

[@CassidyShadewing]

@@reiterated Yeah. I'm hoping its his next project after the TV series he's been working on.

[@frankycortes6870]

The first Nightmare of Elm Street was only the beginning. Great acting from Robert Englund. Crazy special effects and and lots of humor from Freddy. I also enjoyed the sequels. And I will never forget the showdown between Fraddy and Jason.

[@yinyangphoenix]

“The less we say about (the 2010 remake garbage) the better.” 😂😂😂 Yeah, they really did botch it. I was so disappointed!

[@SJ-ty5rw]

Agreed it was awful ! i like that Heather Langenkamp has said she didn't see it . Because she only wants to remember Wes Craven's version as the true film .

[@rticle15]

In my opinion, remakes should be reserved for lesser known films that could be improved with an update or movies so old that filmmaking has changed significantly since their release. Remaking iconic films that still hold up is a mistake.

[@SuperNiceteeth]

I enjoyed it as it's own generic slasher, but it's not a real Freddy movie.

[@NeloBladeOfRanni]

Honestly I liked the movie for the most part til they revealed the "twist" Especially as for most of the film it seemed like they were going with the Freddy was innocent of what he was accused of plot line which imo would of been a interesting story beat to explore

[@yinyangphoenix]

@@NeloBladeOfRanni I, too, would have liked the idea of Freddy being innocent of the original charges against him and his motives being about revenge, but they didn’t play it that way in the end by a long shot. In that remake the guy was a pedo. There are some things I do not want in a movie and pedo is definitely a prime example. They also made a huge mistake by starting with the assumption that the characters already knew Freddy’s identity. They should have stuck to the handful of main characters and walked them through figuring it all out again. Sure, the audience knows who Freddy is, but that doesn’t mean the characters have to start out knowing. The discovery of Freddy’s identity and history is a key piece of the canonical story. Plus, that way, they could have answered a question or two, such as why we only heard about those four teens, when Freddy surely had a grudge against many more. The parents of the four teens should have been revealed to be the ring leaders of the lynch mob, giving a nice explanation for that. That’s an example if something they could have offered but missed out on. They also could have improved the ending from the original, which could have been far more compelling. I always thought that everything in the 1984 film should have been a dream which Nancy mentions in Glen’s car at the end and that’s when Tina says, this time in what is their real life, that she had the same dream. That would have been a huge, juicy, cliffhanger signaling that the murders were about to start happening for real. That would have been f***ing amazing and would have set us up with great future films (including the missing story of how Nancy finally started on Hypnocil, maybe a chapter of her life in college when she makes the choice to go into counseling; that was all left out of the original canon). So yeah, some good potential in the remake we got but they didn’t play it out properly.

Dream Warriors definitely my favorite, but the original is a close 2nd. *Honorable Mention* The rotating room used for Tina & Glen’s death scene, also used in Turbo’s iconic dancing on the ceiling scene in Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo! Another 80s favorite!

I've been in the process of coloring in the illustration of the 1st Marvel Nightmare comic for awhile...if you have the right art supplies it's great fun. However, if you want a great color comic book (which did deteriorate after the 2nd issue), you must check out the short lived series from Innovation Comics. The first two books (especially the covers) employed some extraordinary artists. Some of favorite Freddy art ever.

I was one of those people who instead of getting scared and freaking out watching horror movies, I laughed. The slasher movies to me were comedies. Then I saw this movie!

1) Other film channels showcase horror films as well on this month (of course this one does it better!); 2) The Tuesday after the first Sunday of October means the twice-weekly video gets dropped one hour _earlier_ (greetings from ROK, where there is no time change, which is the case in much of Australia as well).

It’s sometime in the mid ‘80s, and in an elementary school in a little river town nobody ever heard of a little boy is hearing about A Nightmare On Elm Street from his friends. With a lot of apprehension, he braves the horror aisle at his first video store and picks up the first horror movie he’d ever rented. He’s fine at first because watching it during the day isn’t so bad. But at night... when it’s time to sleep... not so much. That boy grew up to be me, and here I am decades later talking about my all time favorite horror film. Ah, nostalgia...
