I met Robert Englund at Flash Back Weekend this year. After all these years, and telling all the fans the same story his charisma is still there. He's still so passionate about his work its incredible. He's also a super nice guy. We talked about how he ruined sausage pizza for me when I was younger and he ended up telling me the whole story about filming that day.

[@FabledHeroes3351]

Damn that ending with Pinhead in hell would have been the balls

[@MrNickPresley]

I would pay a lot to watch that.

[@kbean336]

J Double C Lol for real i would have busted a nut if that would have had happened!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Imagine if Freddy and Jason had to work together to get out of there, just after they killed each other to end up there right before.

[@foreignroninl1555]

HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul That sounds awesome.

[@pauldavis8146]

Then they could have done a sequel where Freddy and Jason team up to fight Pinhead and his cenobites to try to escape hell. That would have been epic.

[@ThomasBahamas]

The second one had such an impact on me when I was younger, I actually got in trouble when the substitute bus driver missed a turn & I started screaming "OH SHIT! FREDDY'S DRIVING THE BUS! IT'S FREDDY KRUEGER!"

So, Johnny Depp got his start in Nightmare on Elm Street? AND he went on to later play as Edward Scissor-hands? Whoa, role-ception... Guess he was the anti-Freddy in that one.

[@rocketcon]

John Saxon is a very underrated actor. Whenever I see him as Nancy's dad I forget that i'm watching the same actor who played a martial artist in Enter The Dragon with Bruce Lee.

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

[@JoeyD_3636_]

[@genequist3859]

Saxon was a pimp in that movie

[@realbstackz215]

rocketcon He also played in Beverly Hills cop 3

[@dkupke]

Story goes he acted like such an arrogant ass on the set that Bruce Lee was considering legit killing him

[@TarksGauntlet]

The part of Freddy Vs Jason where he cuts of the girls nose and it doesn't translate into reality can probably be explained by Freddy's weakened power.

[@TheTurnipKing]

I'd have sworn that Freddy himself actually says as much in the movie.

[@sperrin]

Except the difference is that when Freddy is weak and shown as much in the film, he can't hurt anyone - even in their dreams. By the time the nose thing happens, its quite clear Freddy is not weak anymore.

[@TarksGauntlet]

I just assume at this point his power is still very inconsistent and unreliable. Been a while since I seen the movie though.

[@Excard0n]

Yeah he tries to stab the one kid in the beginning and nothing even happens in the dream because he's too weak. That's the whole premise of the movie.

[@volkerball85]

Kind of a random fun fact; the girl who gets her nose ripped off is Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. This was apparently during the period when she was trying to branch out into movies like Beyonce did. It didn't work out quite as well for her.

[@peachdoesart7175]

My mom met Robert Englund and only remembered him for his role in Phantom of the Opera. Which I think is hilarious cause he even said himself he was never remembered for that role before.

It sounds like an interesting idea, I suppose, but only if Warwick Davis is the Leprechaun. We already know Brad Dourif is good with continuing his role as Chucky, so that probably wouldn't be an issue.

[@lizbarber4151]

I agree but I would rather watch Chucky vs Annabelle

[@Noobie2k7]

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

A John Landis *Nightmare* might also be pretty cool.

[@fenriz218]

I remember John Saxon being my SECOND favorite character in Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon" (1973)... He played "Roper", a degenerate gambler that entered the martial arts tournament on Han's island. His wisecracks and sarcasm was appealing to me even in my childhood years. And the irony of HIM being the one to beat "Bolo" (Han's right-hand bodyguard), really solidified HIM as being my next to favorite guy in that whole movie!!😁👍

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

As a 80's kid, I can vouch there was nothing scarier back then.

[@jameslott748]

The No Damage from the nose pulled off in the dream wasn't a forgotten mishap they said his power was still to weak so he couldn't hurt them in real world yet.

[@evilsWa]

James Lott they said that several scenes before. Two scenes after the nose bit Freddy gets mad because he wanted to kill the girl that Jason killed. So it’s a screw up either way.

Prettier than most Young women in Films these days. I think they wear too much make up and less is More.

[@DailyScaryStoriesPodcast]

Honestly, the 1980s were the heyday of the horror genre, and practical effects were a big part of why those films were so terrifying.

[@purplestrawberrysunset]

There's nothing terrifying or scary in these films. 🤔

[@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717]

I have fond memories of part three. At age 11-12, I thought it was the funniest "horror" movie I had ever seen. The 80's were good times; back in the days when going to the cinema was a treat.

[@outpostorange9580]

Fun Fact: There actually was a playable demo game of sorts called Nightmare on Elm St. 4: The Dream Master released by a company called the Unicorn Corporation based in the Netherlands. They sold magazines from 1989-1993 and in those magazines were floppy demo disks of upcoming games. In the July 1990 edition they had a floppy disk that had: graphic scenes, a playable demo of "zapping" Freddy with a beam of light, and music all from the movie. Although not really a full game, it's still pretty interesting. The company also did one for Total Recall and Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1992.

[@Grinder1999X]

Michael Kalendra are there videos or links to these? Footage?

[@divisdecos5271]

Damn the idea of Freddy & Jason both going to hell & then meeting Pinhead is fucking awesome. I can just imagine them in a dark room with the chains hanging down from the ceiling & Doug Bradley coming out saying “What seems to be the problem?” Then maybe a little smirk or something & then it ends. But that kind of cliff hanger demands a sequel that just couldn’t be done

[@hideandpride1891]

R.I.P John Saxon. We will never forget you for playing Nancy's father in the original.

[@jimhalfpenny442]

There's an interesting small detail in the third movie. The bar in which Nancy finds her father is called "Little Nemo's." It's a reference to the old comic strip "Little Nemo in Slumberland."

@Cinemassacre , the reason why her nose was cut off but she wasn't hurt in real life is because Freddy was weaker at that time.

[@frozenlicks]

exactly

[@Kaptinkumar]

That’s what I was thinking

[@foreignroninl1555]

Yeah, I remember Freddy stating earlier on in the movie that he wasn’t strong enough just yet.

[@erickleefeld4883]

Yeah, at one point he tries to hurt a guy in his dream, but can't even do anything. Later on, he hurts Kelly Rowland in her dream, but it fails to carry over to real life. He's still working his way up.

[@Tgkjj]

i just want to clarify about that nose scene in fvj is freddy is still not at full power yet so he can cause fear but cant physically injure anybody yet

[@darknessanddistance4469]

Send Freddy's dead, he changed his mind and decided he didn't need her nose because he already smells!!

[@mikshinee87]

By the time he started playing in "Nightmare on Elm Street" Johnny Depp had already dropped out of school, left his home and had to work to support himself at 15. One tough cookie, though I don't condone dropping out of school of course.

Basically our imagination can add or subtract powers to pennywise only due to our lack of knowledge of his true self. Where the killer clowns do show their technological abilities, that ship and the form that they chose was also just to fool people. So they have the power and intelligence to research the inner workings of a planet's culture. For all we know they could be systematically absorbing planet's and going unnoticed .

Trivia: Final Nightmare was Robert Englund's favorite

[@darknessanddistance4469]

If you said that in an interview on the film came out, it was just for the publicity. But if it really was his favorite of the film series oh, could it be just because going to see his real face so much in it? Certainly was far from the most sophisticated

Well the comic is based from the script they had written from it so if you own the comic you pretty much know what would have been.The reason it diddnt get mad was because Sam Rami diddnt want to allow them to use the character because they diddnt want any of the main 3 to die but Rami wanted Ash to kill both Freddy an Jason.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Also I love the way they mixed things up with Freddy, he's kind of like a good midpoint between Micheal Myers and Jason Jason is essentially little more than an animal, who kills based on instinct rather than personal enjoyment, so you could argue he's not evil, Micheal is Pure Evil who kills without any reason or justification, he just kills cause he can. Freddy is the inbetween, he kills pretty much anyone like Micheal but does so for the sick enjoyment of it. Nice contrast.

[@trustmeits610pm2]

Oh I don't know if there's absolutely no mind being Jason's actions. Sometimes his kills have a kind of deliberate irony to them. He doesn't always simply hack people apart. There's a mind there. He's just not a longterm planner. Freddy really is a unique horror movie villain. Not because of his powers, but because he has a personality. Freddy loves what he does. He's laughing and joking the whole way through. Most movie monsters/killers are the freakin' Terminator. Stone faced killing machines on a mission. Freddy though? Freddy is having a good time.

[@grantorino2325]

How about Michael Myers vs. the Silver Shamrock robots? (Seriously, what's the problem? BOTH sets of characters were created by the same people). We could even have a plot where both the Silver Shamrock company and Myers's cult are trying to sacrifice millions of children---but for entirely different reasons. And the only way to stop them is to get the cult--with Michael--and the company--with the robots--to fight each other. And the only way to do THAT is by having Dr. Loomis and Dr. Challis join forces!

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Certainly the most consistently scary of the Slasher filers. Nightmare on Elm Street probably has the record for most GOOD sequels in it's library. Part 1, 3, 4, New Nightmare and possibly Part 2 if you ignore certain things, makes a solid 5. Most other slasher films don't have that Halloween: 3, maybe 4 Friday the 13th: 3 Texas Chainsaw: 2

“Lanjencap?” I think it’s “Langenkamp.”

That home alone gag with Freddy had me dying!!!

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

Dream Master was my favourite, and had one of the best intros ever.

I know Frederick is coming to Dead By Daylight, but it still amazes me why nobody made a current-gen "Nightmare on Elm Street" game. It's perfect video game fodder. You could use the Resident Evil / Evil Within formula to great effect, with the constant fear that Freddy's stalking you, ready to jump out at you from any corner.

[@Rogu75]

A Nightmare on Elm Street game with a more Survival Horror formula like R.E and Evil Within... I would so play that. I loved The Evil Within 2 a ton. For now though, we can be happy with big boi Freddy in Dead by Daylight. The remake surely made him a scary killer. And I guess it's more than enough.

Not sure when/why you did this series review but you so absolutely spot on! Nightmare 1,3, New NM are the best! Truly I love part 2 as well for many reasons! Thx buddy

[@ronarad5515]

[@briagaldabazzz]
