Unmade Elm Street & Halloween Sequels That May Have Worked

Compilation Video:
Today, we're delving back into the chilling world of Elm Street, but this time, we're steering clear of prequel territory. Instead, we're exploring the intriguing realm of unmade sequels. And we're not talking about just any sequels; we're delving into the untold stories that never made it to the screen. Prepare to be captivated as we unravel the mystery behind Peter Jackson's near foray into the Nightmarescape with "A Nightmare On Elm Street 6: The Dream Lover." But that's not all - we're also revisiting the tumultuous landscape of the Halloween franchise. Amidst the series' rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, there's always been anticipation for what's next. Join us as we journey back to 2015, a time when the Halloween series found itself in limbo, tantalizingly close to the realization of Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton's Halloween Returns.

Seeing Freddy get mocked and whooped on woulda been great 😂

[@thecunninlynguist]

Jackson's elm street would've been awesome

[@boomstickcritique902]

In concept is a more interesting idea but im not sure if fans would have liked the idea of teens going into the dream world and kicking Freddy's ass for fun lol. It still would have been better then what we got though.

[@FUFUCarnagerap]

no

[@pikapal91]

Alice’s father is the only parent in the elm street franchise to actually have a character arc. Goes from a drunk deadbeat dad, to a caring father, and grandfather.

[@Terelon]

Jackson's treatment was better than what we got.

[@Chadsolderbrotherbrad1111]

Yep

[@boomstickcritique902]

In concept is a more interesting idea but im not sure if fans would have liked the idea of teens going into the dream world and kicking Freddy's ass for fun lol. It still would have been better than what we got though. New Line ended the Freddy series too early with Nightmare 6 they still could have kept that series going for more sequels. Nightmare 2 is the odd sequel out in the series as it connects to almost nothing and was totally ignored and forgotten in every sequel later.

[@millyoneyedeaz1350]

a treatment isnt a finished product, thats a stupid statement to make. For all you know the execution would have been terrible. Comaprimg an idea you heard about to something that actually exists, just silly lol

[@jayeckberg774]

I would love a retcon on the Jamie Lloyd story, ignoring everything after 4. Film picks up with Jamie finally coming to terms with killing her foster mom. Her therapist convinces her it's time to return to Haddonfield to make amends with Rachel. She returns a few days before Halloween and tries to mend things with Rachel, who won't forgive her for killing her mom. She tells Jamie to stay away from her family(husband & teenage daughter Debra) and friends. Jamie calls her therapist distraught, and he agrees to come to Haddonfield. Meanwhile, one of Debra's friends is killed, seen in first person perspective wearing a mask. As the body count rises as Halloween approaches, everyone in Haddonfield thinks that Jamie has picked up where she left off as a child and is following in her uncle's shoes. The only person who believes Jamie is her therapist. We, the audience, are let in on the fact that Michael is in deed back as Halloween day begins.

[@boomstickcritique902]

The problem with a sequel a sequel to 4 is fans of 4 would want to see Jamie as the killer however you just can't do that because the majority of the audience just wants to see Michael killing people. This is part of the hate for Halloween Ends most fans just want to see Myers killing everyone in the same old style he always does.

[@planetvhshorror4681]

The idea of Freddy being a joke and being antagonized sounds amazing.

[@Chadsolderbrotherbrad1111]

I thought they did that in part 4 and beyond 😂

[@boomstickcritique902]

BOB Shay said in an interview he thought the script was bad and that's why they never went with it.

[@user-fc2tj8lf2m]

I was so scared of Freddie Kruger that he gave me the ability to lucid dream as a child just so I could run away from him lol

[@petermulder7480]

That's power. No use it with other wishes and start creating your own destiny.

[@Pegfoxx]

I still suffer from chronic nightmares & also sleep walk ever since I was a little girl and I am 47years old. The nightmares of Freddy Kruger are my worst dreams so far lol.

[@JediJunkie247]

While I really enjoyed Freddy's Dead (I thought it was fun), having Peter Jackson helm an Elm Street movie could have been epic.

[@Gg-10989]

Just think we have gotten - 3 Halloween movies - 3 Childs play movies and Tv show - 3 Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies - 4 Saw Movies - Two Evil Dead Movies - Children of the corn sequel - Candyman remake - Hellraiser Remake Since the last Nightmare on elm street movie came out smh!

[@geeshep4836]

Can You Imagine Peter Jackson Directing The Sixth Installment Of Elm Street Ah Man. I Love Him Directing Dead Alive (AKA Braindead) This Would've Helped Or Hurt Peter's Career.

Halloween 2018 was amazing, but Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends were just ok. Having said that, I loved seeing Michael finally get his deserved death in Halloween Ends.

[@nialllappin4159]

He already had his death in H20

@@stephenmiller2337that was a retcon mandated by the studio, so it can be disregarded. Both Jaime Lee Curtis & Chris Durand played the scene as if it were Michael & Laurie, even though they knew the studios plans for a sequel

[@DasKrug]

“Halloween Kills” and “Halloween Dies” were far from okay, they were a burning pile of garbage followed by a total dumpster fire. Such a huge let down from 2018, an absolute lost chance.

Jackson's Elm Street can STILL be done to revitalize the franchise.

[@jasonelliott7977]

The only thing is would they want to do it?

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

It’s crazy to think Peter Jackson, the brilliant mind behind The Lord of the Rings, the greatest movie trilogy of all time, almost directed a Nightmare movie! I think the fantasy visuals of his LotR films also fits the Nightmare franchise, as the trilogy has many horror and visually stunning moments, he probably carried some of his unused Nightmare ideas into LotR. He would have been such a good fit.

[@ahahahaha496]

Greatest trilogy of all time? That's incredibly generous

[@scruffylives9224]

lol Greatest trilogy. 1977 1980 1983 Says hold my beer.

[@jeffrousseau4033]

This is basically the Elm St version of ‘Halloween Ends’😅

[@jamesmorant1406]

They should have stuck with Peter Jackson script that was an interesting concept

I remember seeing most of the Elm St. movies in theater with my childhood friends. Unfortunately, most of them have died. It was a great time/place to grow up. 😢

[@rig-zag]

As Freddy was supposed to be a child molester, giving him his ideal love interest could potentially have been... *problematic*

[@ogrick]

Halloween Returns still needs to be made !!!

[@jbeach12078]

+1...dam right, it does....

[@unclegoose3864]

Jacksons treatment would have worked really well if you think about it, it would have lined up with Jason vs Freddy in the same way. Being weak he needs someone to strike fear into the elm street kids so he uses jason to do his dirty work but ends up not being able to control him leading to the end fight.

[@michaelszecsodi3711]

They need to make a Freddy with Myers call it dream weavers

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

How about that unmade 'Friday the 13th' with Jason in the snow? =)

[@dr.darklaw25]

You should do the Hellraiser/Halloween crossovers that were never made

[@greggobbi859]

Shocker 2 would have been kool if they had made it

[@Wheretheportlandorarealadiesat]

Damn

[@davidsavage5630]

It should be Halloween vs Hellraiser. Imagine the movie opening with Pinhead standing near the industrial chipper that they put Michael Myers' body into at the end of Halloween Ends and putting his face back together on the ground like Frank Cotton's face at the beginning of the first Hellraiser..

[@paulblodgett4072]

Definitely cover all 3 Re Animator films 💚

[@senrac1976]

It's Steph hey hey I LOVED that one 😊

[@dimebagdave77]

Thanks JoBlo🤘

[@AA-oc3kx]

I want an all new Freddy New actor. New look. No CGI. All practical. And I'd like to see it based loosely off his story arc in Freddys nightmare tv show. Where it shows him in court. And how he targets the detective and his twin daughters. The twins were written awesomely in that series.

[@fabricatedego]

I feel like Jackson's movie could still be made. The time between Freddy's Dead and now been over 30 years and think it could work. I know Robert probably wouldn't be back but maybe something could be done.

[@ChrisPeteG]

Damn, the Jackson film would have been awesome and meta in a really unique way, that would have come along right at the perfect time. "Freddy isn't scary any more" That refers to the audience AND the characters in the film, Freddy becomes a fun character they visit...not something scary. But then over the course of the film they learn to fear him again.

[@mikev_art]

I’m gonna say the obvious thing… Hellraiser needs the love and attention the story deserves. All these reboots and this is the one that has untapped potential.

[@DasKrug]

The problem “Hellraiser” runs into is the fan base for it is extremely loyal, but not very big.

[@dgambo1985]

Would it not make sense fir Jacksons elm street to happen now? Its ideal for a late sequel no? Considered the plot and how we see the 80s now. There's nothing scary about a burn victim in red n green today. It makes total sense to me but I guess blum house will churn out some shit soon.

[@cd3965]

Freddys Dead probably the most underrated, for me it is in the top 5 after dream warriors, the original, new nightmare and F vs. J 🤷

[@Onlystud2]

David Gordon Green should direct a nightmare on elm Street movie

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

yeah the david green movies sure were a treat

[@ericmiles5821]

I hope they make a 3rd installment of Collected

[@BrianJohnsonxX]

Can you guys cover 2009’s Sorority Row?

[@coconutpete5207]

I would've loved to see Peter Jacksons take on nightmare. But the comment about being thankful Blum house got Halloween up a running again did not age well.

[@boomstickcritique902]

The Halloween franchise has been rebooted a million times at this point. Nothing Blumhouse did will or could kill the series. Fans are just hating on the Blumhouse movies now because they are the newest versions of the character. It's the same as how fans started to shit on Halloween H20 after the first Blumhouse movie came out. Fans are fickle and mostly don't know what they want. The series will be rebooted again and it will again make money and the circle will continue. Halloween never needed to be a series the first movie said all that needed to be said about Michael Myers in concept the rest are just there.

[@Lucky_Chase]

Argento's Phenomena.

[@anthonygillum278]

I would have loved to see that

[@stephenmiller2337]

The one good thing that came out of Peter Jackson's script is that New Line saw the talent that he had and ended up producing his "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy.

[@Pegfoxx]

Oh man that Elm Street movie from Peter Jackson sounds great. I lot better than what we all got from Freddys Dead.

[@julianweir3051]

I wish they would do another cobra that has Sylvester Stallone in it that was scream before scream

[@kevincharles1983]

Dream warriors may be the best horror movie of all time

[@Jdmitchell099]

So because Freddy is in dreams couldn’t they have put him into a bunch of cameos after the first one? Like every time someone dreams in a movie or tv show.

[@mortua_conjuga]

i am begging the film gods to give peter jackson the chance to do this film 🙏🏾

[@candacetalley9261]

I would love to see that new movie 🍿🎥

[@roggie839]

Man I wish we would've gotten Halloween returns instead of that garbage that was Halloween ends

[@p.d.l7023]

I actually prefer Peter Jackson's over the top horror films than LotR and anything that he did after.

[@DasKrug]

Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” was better than “Halloween Kills” and much better than the train wreck of “Halloween Dies”, such a tragedy after how good “Halloween” was.

[@jimmyD2484]

What the F*** happened to DEEP BLUE SEA 2???? The original idea they had with LL COOL J and the earthquake?

[@brent6512]

Jackson’s script would be perfect for a reboot when the legal shit gets worked out and it Robert could even play him as this older version of him

[@jamie9nines719]

Tim Burton's western film, I wish that was made, would've star Clint Eastwood and Jack Nickleson

[@andymcfly]

I think del torro the guy that directed hellboy 2 and blade 2 I believe should have made an elm street movie

[@jojushabadoo2722]

The idea of Micheal cutting the man's tongue and sending him to be shot came from the Nightdance comic. Definitely not an RZ tribute

[@nc32203]

[@petermulder7480]

German, Angst 1982 That's a movie..!! But maybe not Hollywood enough for this channel.

[@dr.loomis4221]

Freddy's Dead was an abomination and a crime against humanity.

[@DasKrug]

And yet, still not as bad as “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2”.

[@stefanpp1155]

To be honest, Jackson's Freddy movie doesn't sound all that great. People bullying Freddy sounds pretty cheesy. And how do you make Freddy scary again after those scenes?

[@millyoneyedeaz1350]

All i learnd from this video is Joblo is clueless

[@ValleyOfTheWindFan06]

Do a WTF happened video on Bad Taste (1987)

[@JoBloHorrorOriginals]

On it

[@MrNu1982]

You know, I like the reboot for the simple fact that, in the grand scheme of things in the original, you know Freddy Krueger was chased and framed for murders, and he wore revenge on the families, and he did that and a group from there in the new in the reboot he has a legitimate reason to seek his revenge because the kids lied about what he was doing the kids what caused his death death ultimately so this is a revenge movie that really took us took its toll and on top of that Freddy Krueger looked like an actual burn victim. I’ve seen so many war vets. We’ve been burned people who have third-degree burns look just like that Freddy Krueger, so that was more accurate to the result of being alive and yeah the movie was great. I enjoyed it I felt for Freddy instead of feeling for the teens I felt him I felt for him he is his pain he was killed because people lied about him and when you have a mom mentality, no one‘s willing to listen, I enjoyed it. I was so looking forward to sequel to that though see where they take it from there.

[@acecashman1237]

Mandela Effect my guy, Freddy DID commit the crimes in the remake. The early version of the script is what had him be innocent, but it was thrown out.

[@blackamerican40]

Actually you butcher a lot of words. 😅

[@OllinXiucoatl]

Unpopular opinion I don’t think the reboot was bad I liked it. Definitely not better than the original.

[@Dr_1212]

Hellraiser vs Michael Myers

[@petermulder7480]

Jackson had full creative control on his own early movies. That's why there special and great. I don't think that New line cinema would have given him full creative controle for the script or directing. Wast of potential.

[@jugghead82]

The Peter Jackson Elm St sounded so GOOD. The Halloween one HeLL NO LOL I know the Halloween one was old woodchipper unfortunately was Michaels fate yea End SUCKED

[@DWtechfan]

Jackson’s Elm Street film would’ve been great. But how the hell could you have said the Halloween franchise was in a good place with David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy? The best of the three was the first movie but Halloween Kills was a gore fest of gratuitous kills for no story reason and keeps saying a line that never gets paid off. And Halloween Ends was just the worst made Halloween movie in the entire franchise, it made Michael Myers the Robin sidekick to Corey’s Batman and for no reason whatsoever is also a love story. It ended in the worst possible way and I absolutely hope the next movie retcons the entire Green trilogy.

[@user-uz3bh3ru6s]

No more lame reboots.

Halloween Ends was TERRIBLE tho

i'm so glad the melton and the other one's _Halloween_ film never happened cos what the hell nonsense is that?

[@ItsaKindOfMagic86]

Give em to meeee 🔪

[@LiirThropp2687]

I would have loved to see the Peter Jackson Elm Street movie. Far more interesting than Freddy's Dead. Always thought, as the supposedly "final" Nightmare film, Freddy's Dead was a complete slap in the face to everything that came before it. Way too much comedy. Did people forget who and what Freddy was? He's not a comedian. He's a monster who hurt little children. The lowest of the low.

[@ItsaKindOfMagic86]

I dont like the retconning of Halloween original sequels. I prefer the OG sequels, Donald Pleasence's Dr Loomis should be reason enough. I like Halloween 2, and even 3 as a standalone, and I like the Jamie Lloyd character more than the Laurie Strode character. So I'd like a competent writer to tackle reviving Halloween in the same era as the OG film and sequels and give Jamie Lloyd more focus, her link to Michael and the ending of H4 was the direction I am most up for, evil Jamie on stabbing spree with her uncle. I dont care for Zombie's trilogy or that recent recton trilogy.

[@Mashida_Killzzz]

Unless I'm missing something he only made 2 films for Halloween Rob Zombie just my opinion there pretty cool!! But to each there own
