Recent subscriber, I love the channel but please stop calling straight people cis and saying woke. Leave the gender and political bullshit out!
Space cat as a regular, who else agrees
She's too distracting!
I agree!!
@@HackTheMovies don't you know that viewership goes up when you put a cat in the video
I agree
Watching Space Cat fighting Freddy for an hour was the highlight of this review. Glad she won.
This was my favorite nightmare on elm Street movie. It helped me with my nightmares as a kid. Believing when I'm dreaming I can control my dreams I made a good Freddy that would protect me. He had the same world altering powers and was immortal as Freddy in the dream realm.
Oh after listening to half an hour of the video I think I'm thinking of 3.
Can't wait to see this!! Also it's great that we get another cameo from Space Cat and that crystal is back in the store!!
Tony and Crystal already answered the question as to why Freddy returns…Kristen stirred him up by worrying about whether he’d come back. The dog pissing fire is just a cool and unique way to bring him back….see, as a Nightmare fan, what I always tuned in for were 1.) inventive kills, 2.) how they bring Freddy back from the last film, and 3.) how they kill Freddy in the film I’m watching. Everything else is just icing on the cake….the fact that the kids here are so great is just bonus.
HELL YES!!! ANOES PART 4!!! I can't wait for this episode!! Crystal, Space Cat, and more Freddy Krueger!! This movie has two of my favorite kills: the "Wanna suck face" kill and the Cockroach hotel kill
I'm just here for Space Cat tbh but I love Crystal too!!
This is one of my faves
“You flunked”
@22:42 DAMN CRYSTAL, you inspire some pretty intense emotions in people (understandably so, LOL)😍
Crystal and Space Cat make quite a duo.
Ya two stuck up females
Nightmare 4 actually introduced me to reefer madness, it's actually a great movie as well.
The musical remake is even cooler.
NOES 4 is like Goldfinger: the beginning of when each series started to decline
Robert Englund himself theorized that the dog pissing fire could represent the 'Hound from Hell'.
I was going to say that. I remember that from The Lost Boys
@@JIF882 What scene in The Lost Boys? Was it from the Frog Brothers comic book? 🤔
@ForEternia After Sam's mom is attacked by Thorn, he goes to the comic shop to see Edgar and Allen. They tell him that Thorn might be a Hound Of Hell, and is supposed to watch over Max as he sleeps during the day.
@@JIF882 Thanks 😊

Love this flick
Space Cat is the cutest grumpy kitty
Even cuter than grumpy cat!
Definitely! Also, did she get a summer cut?
The beautiful Crystal and my main man Tony!
Another great episode!! Keep up the good work guys!!
This is one of the best and most underrated 80 slasher films, and a “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series highlight. Alice is a great final girl with a relatable arc of going from mousy to ass kicker, it’s got inventive direction and beautiful sets. Creative kills and dreams, likable victims, fun soundtrack. Plus Robert England does a fantastic job as Freddy.
I honestly absolutely love how Crystal is trying to be friends with the fluffy kitty 🥰
Simp
Yes Queen! Looking much forward to this one also. Def like these Elm Street reviews!
This movie is when Freddy become a pop icon and the series became more fantasy and less horror. But...part 4 is still a fun and enjoyable entry in the series with some great deaths and awesome special effects. I do miss the horror aspect,but overall I love the film.
He’s alittle bit more funnier than the last but it still retains a lot of the horror elements
SERIOUSLY? It's Nancy's house, which he's adopted into the nightmares after Freddy's revenge, from which point on the actual house is abandoned (see scene in THIS MOVIE LOL).
WHY DOESN'T CRYSTAL HAVE HER OWN CHANNEL BY NOW?!???? I been sayin this for too long, man. Crystal, you need help behind the scenes? Is that the hold up? You need to be the whole show. Holla!
- trevor.
This was my introduction to Freddy Krueger. I love the water bed, cockroach, and Freddy's chest Pull-A-Part. The BTS feature sparked my interest in special effects makeup.
This was one of the few VHS tapes that my family owned. Every day for an entire year my friend and I would watch this movie, and it never got old
Sound like a fun childhood :D I had that VHS too, still my favorite part.
Talking about drapes is my favourite RUclips show, more curtain content please.
This may be a nightmare on Elm Street, but seeing Crystal in this video is definitely a dream.
Goddamn that was cringe AF
She's a dime a dozen. Just be a super tall mean drunk like me and women like that will flock to you. It also helps if you refuse to get a job. Modern women appreciate these things.
I actually won free tickets to see this film back when it came out - from MTV.
That's really cool. Were you still a minor at the time? I imagine you would have to go with an adult because of the R rating. Unless you had already turned 17. I saw it in theaters too. But I was only 11 at the time, so my dad took me and my friend.
So spacecat is really Freddy and both Tony and Krystal are asleep k got it
Fun Fact: The name of the diner where Alice works is called the "Crave Inn", a reference to franchise creator Wes Craven.
See whatcha did there 😏
He mentions that, too
Fun fact: OP wasn't even half-way through the episode when he posted this.
Yeah I watched the video too
Best co-host Space Cat.
Not gonna lie, the cat has increased my engagement
This video has a cat in it. 5 ⭐
"Alice is also a daydreamer who believes in a nursery rhyme from her childhood about evil dying when it sees itself. So again, for her it becomes true." read this online about the mirror scene. works for me.
I agree. Plus in previous films, Freddy never looks at his own reflection in scenes involving a mirror or mirrors. If that helps.
I got into Nightmare at part 3, Friday 13th at part 7, just in time for the steep decline in both.
Fun fact: Freddy's resurrection was actually director Renny Harlin's idea. At one point, James Cameron approached Harlin and asked him "So how is Freddy gonna come back this time?" and Harlin replied "A dog pisses fire."
Bonus fact: This is the only sequel in the series Wes Craven likes. According to Rennie Harlin, he said "Wes loved it. It was important to base the film in images the audience loved and would remember from the first film. Wes came to the first screening and sent me a letter saying how much he liked it. I thought that was a nice compliment." (Which kinda explains the Tuesday Knight cameo in New Nightmare and the effects crew, on Part 4, KNB studios returned for the effects, with the demon at the end resembling a demon Part 4 Freddy.)
It's not that Craven liked the movie, it's that he was really impressed with Harlin's direction. He thought Harlin did a fine job directing the movie.
This movie is my favourite movie ever. Had it on VHS definitely watched it at least 100 times
Can't wait to hear thoughts on Freddy's Dead and New Nightmare. And please have Crystal and Space cat back I need to see the conclusion of this saga 😁❤️. Crystal vs Space Cat parody Freddy vs Jason
Space cat hope you will appear in more videos we all know you the real star
I've probably seen this NOES movie more than any of the others, so I have a soft spot for it. Used to watch it whenever it was on HBO or Cinemax in 1989-early 90s. Pure fun.
This is my favorite Elm Street sequel (unironically)
Alice might be my favorite final girl from the Nightmare franchise.
Nancy and Kristen were really likeable.
But Alice knew how to kick butt.
Did Nancy or Kristin use nunchucks? I don't think so. Alice rules
@dustywaynemusic6297 to be fair Nancy had her plan down to a science even the exact 10 minutes it would take to take down Freddy
Fuckin A
the way ya'll say things will have me rolling. "YOU SHOULD BRING IN MORE FRIENDS!"
This was the first Freddy I saw at the movies,my dad grabbed my sister and I and rest of neighborhood kids and dropped us off!!
Wow they let you guys in an R rated movie without an adult? I remember as a kid going to see some R rated movies and they wouldn't ask what is your age.
@@ForEternia back then all u needed was an adult to buy your ticket lol. I'm so glad I grew up when I did,we got to see everything at the movies
@@chyannaturner9110 I know the feeling. 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' was the first movie I went to see by myself. I was just a month away from turning 11. As far as R rated films, it was hit or miss. I recall a friend and I separated from our youth group at the theater. They all paid to see some movie him and I didn't want to see. So instead we paid but snuck in to see Childs Play 2.
Space Cat needs to forgive her father.
Glad to be listening to Hack The Movies again
Hello Again TONY & CRYSTAL,,,,This is the Sequel where the NIGHTMARE Sequences really started to become even more Ambitious which had already began in DREAM WARRIORS,,,,By the way i Like The Lighting of the Videostore 😃🤘🤘
Crystal, I would totally watch Beastmaster vs. Freddy
Everyone was awesome in another fun review. Spacecat is the best 😼I have a lot of great memories growing up watching the Freddy movies
Deepest, bluest. Freddy's hand is like a shark fin.
Nice LL Cool J reference
@@nickwalters2114 I never realized it was the same director from Deep Blue Sea.
Some of the best special effects of the 90's came from this film series. Part 4, 5 to be exact. I was disappointed when the cute girl in the class got the air sucked out of her lungs. The action at the end was real good. All those spirits ripped right out of Freddy. It kinda looked real. Fun film. Glad I own the series. Freddy fan for life, over here. 👍
This series mainly happens in the 80s.
Tony has acknowledged my proper pronunciation of Dokken. I'm gonna be famous
Great review as alwqys...again :D
Thanks for bringing up my comment about the D!ck-Freddy! Speccial Effects maker Kevin Yagher and Director Chuck Russell talk about it in the "Never Sleep Again" Documentory. Russel apperantly approved of the concept because the clay used for the mockup was green, but Yagher alwqys intended to make it fleshy colored. One thing i kinda got wrong was that he stated they covered one of the used Snake-Freddys in green slime because they didnt have time for painting it. But they don't talk about the other used one, you can also see the original color in some behind the scenes pictures. So it is likely they recolored the other used ones green in editing. Why they actualy show it in it's red color in FvJ is never stated, so maybe they used original negatives that were not color changed, or they colored it back as a nod to the intended design.
I think no one brought him back, exactly. I think he was like Sauron after Isildur cut off the One Ring from his finger. Freddy was still alive but couldnt manifest fully. I think he was giving them, or at least the one girl, nightmares to create fear, and the fear he created helped him come back. and yeah the dog peeing fire was just a funny/cool effect, not what actually brought him back lol
Like Voldemort. Hell yea
Wait yeah that was always my impression too. , you can't permanently kill him and the weird ways that he comes back aren't supposed to make sense because they are dream logic
@@bababoey9279 yeah like a Lich.
Space Cat! It’s only up from here
Basically my favourite Nightmare film.
This is my second favourite after the first one. With great songs too
Alice absorbs other people's powers because she is the Dream Master.
She is dreamy
Before RENNY HARLIN Directed THE DREAM MASTER He Directed the 1987 Supernatural Horror Film "PRISON" which features a very young VIGGO MORTENSEN & "PRISON" is a Really Fun Flick 😃🤘🤘
Yes the Snake story is true.
I cannot wait if you also do part 5 The Dream Child, part 6 Final Nightmare, part 7 New Nightmare & FVJ???!!! ☺☺☺☺😁😁😁😁😁
Great episode. Is part 5 the one with the goofy slam dunking scene?
After the first two films, this is a completely different franchise. More a horror comedy.
New Nightmare and Freddy Vs Jason have more in common with 1 and 2 than 3 through 6
1:08:49 I always thought that surgeon guy looked like Wayne Gretzky.
freddy's "house" is nancy's house from the first movie.
I was like "There's no way he pronounced Job wrong, he loves Mission Impossible, this has to be a bit."
And it was!
Thanks for apologizing and keep rockin with dokken
Crystal looks so pretty this episode!
Hack the movies with Tony! YESS!!
There are credited writers on this but they really were re-writing it as they went along, and quickly running out of money the whole time. Hence Rick getting killed by invisible Freddy. They had already filmed the funeral scene and wrote that last second and couldn't afford Robert Englund for another day.
hahaha...ok I forgive you about DOKKEN now. This episode is great.. having Crystal really helps. On to the next one.
I actually dig all the sequels, but 4 might be my least favorite. It’s awkwardly still trying to feel connected to 3 (the recasting is distracting too) in tone and style while leaning too far into the goofier side of things. I don’t mind that though. I like the MTV generation vibe of it, but the loony tunes antics I can buy more in the totally ridiculous Freddy’s Dead. That movie is dumb, but it embraces that tone. The real criminally underrated sequel is the Dream Child. That one is really visually inventive and pretty thematically interesting.
the girl who played debbie was also in a show called 'just the 10 of us' which also had heather. they play sisters in it.
When Alice screamed when Rick dies the glass window shatters. That was her "power" she gained from Joey as he did the same in Part 3.
She can use that power in the real world?
@@HackTheMovies I asked the same thing in another comment. I'm guessing it did. The school calls a cleaning crew off screen of course.
Tony, buddy, you tell your other girlfriends that those claw marks are from Freddy attacks. Come on brother.
Gotta point out you missed Love Kills by Vinnie Vincent Invasion (KISS’s second lead guitarist’s solo band 😂) had a music video with the bizarre looking Vinnie dressed as Freddy at one part
Part 5 kinda explains how alice beat Freddie in this one. Basically she was able to keep him under control so my guess is the mirrors represented that. In part 5 since Freddy couldn't go through her anymore he's able to get through her child.
So I guess people discover their dream powers and don't get to choose them then? Because it would be a lot better if you got to choose.
This is my favorite freddy film followed by 3 .
26:48 I love how for once, Tony is good friends with a celebrity!😂 for those of you who are new, Macaulay Culkin was a guest on a few episodes of Rental reviews, as well as AVGN and James and Mike Mondays.
49:11 I work at a cemetery and I can confirm that burials rights do not work that way unless a mass disaster. Even then, there are still burial laws and regulations that needs to follow in orders for that scenario to happen.
I've seen: A Nightmare On Elm Street, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and Wes Craven's: New Nightmare. Have seen tiny bits of parts 4 to 6. Still have to watch the sequels some day.
Hes alive at the end of 3. The little model of the house upstairs light turns on when Dr.Neil is sleeping
Happy 35th Anniversary Nightmare on elm street 4 The Dream Master 1988 -2023
whenever one of Alice's friends dies she goes thru the quickening from highlander. there can be only one "dream master"
or at least that's how i interpreted it 🤷
No, Alice gets the farts, and she is trying to prevent their expulsion. As if having to deal with Freddy and her father wasn't enough. Poor girl.
They both fell asleep and FREDDY put them in a nightmare loop so they couldn't get to Debbie.
You could argue that Freddy gets the victims souls from the beginning.
Remember Nancy finding her friends belongings in the first movie? Remember the screams from the furnace fire?
That would explain Freddy becoming more playful and cheery with each following sequel.
He has his highest kill count in part two- and his most significant character change between this one and part three.
Good explanation but they ruin that in 5 because he's lost all his souls and he's still cracking jokes
Amanda's grave is at the cemetery, and she died at Weston hills Tony from Hack the movies, so her energy is strongest at both locations
Loved the appearance of Space cat and can't wait for the new merch!
Haven't seen this movie, looking forward to this
11:56 The first time I saw this, was in summee of 1989 at my aunt's house in Dothan, Alabama. With a bunch of other kids for a sleepover, my aunt and her friend rented this and a couple other movies for us.
i still remember watching HBO's exclusive behind the scenes making of Elm Street 4 back then in late 1980s early 1990s. I thought it was cool for HBO to air that at the time.
To be fair that was not an HBO exclusive. It aired in syndication at the time the movie came out. I vividly remember watching it on KCAL Ch 9 here in the Los Angeles area at my friends house. We always talked about how cool the giant Freddy was that was used in the movie.
@@ForEternia well the Elm Street 4 making of was on HBO all the time back the. I know this for a fact since i would watch it on the weekends whenever it came on.
@@urrutiap That's cool. Unfortunately I didn't have cable tv growing up. But I always kept my tv guide close by incase anything interesting came on. As well as my VCR if I wanted to record it. Ah, those were the days.
Yeah, they probably buried Kristen's ashes. We did that with my dad.
12:53 that's why Halloween is king...no intended jokes
I think Alice’s dream power is absorbing others powers like a mimic
yeah, the aristotle reference is what the "dream master" idea comes from. that there is a positive gate and a negative gate when a person dreams. and skilled dreamers can control what get's in. that is why freddy says "i've been guarding my gate for a long time, b*tch." and then SHOWDOWN. cue "everybody was kungfu fighting".
oh! you mentioned the crave in... in part one right before glenn dies you hear "this is station KRGR signing off".
Alice suiting up at the end with that montage is my favorite moment in the entire franchise.
Can't beat a pre final battle montage
Rick was originally supposed to be in an elevator where the floor drops out and he falls into freddys mouth or something , but they ran out of money to film it.
The one Freddy gets brought back by a dog pissing fire .
This may be where the series started to decline, but infind even the bad Freddy films are still enjoyable. Minus the remake 😂
Agreed
Nightmare on Elm Street 5 is when the series starts to decline. Not Nightmare 4.
@KICKBOXER27 I disagree. Dream Master is a fun movie, and certainly better than the next two, but it's a step down from any of the previous films. Freddy is a full on pop icon here, and no longer scary. I think this is where the decline starts.
@KICKBOXER27 ehhh, a karate fight vs an invisible freddy is really, really dumb
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS Freddy isn't scary in Dream Master but he's still intimidating and fun to watch and the lead character is likable. The series already stepped down with Nightmare 2 yes Freddy is scarier in that movie but that script is not a good sequel story for a sequel to the original Wes Craven Classic its a decent time waster. Nightmare 2 is a better stand alone movie then a sequel to Nightmare 1 its better as a random gay metaphor movie then as a sequel to the first because compared to part 1 the script is loaded with logic flaws. Anyway the point is the series already declined with part 2 then came back up with Dream Warriors part 4 was the logical evolution of the series after the popularity of 3 and was the version of Freddy that audiences wanted at the time.
