It's time to finally dive into the Nightmare series! What better way to start than with the original Wes Craven classic. Johanna and Jess join Tony as they talk about how A Nightmare on Elm Street changed slasher movies forever!
In Wes Craven's classic slasher film, several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams -- which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?

I love how the side sleeper option on the mattress test actually looks like Tony 😂
Red and green were chosen for the sweater because Wes Craven said it was the hardest two colors to see next to each other. Something I saw in a Nightmare on Elm Street documentary
I actually love the scene where the surfer dude is reciting Hamlet slowly. It's especially jarring because I think he was actually reading Julius Caesar in the real world. And a fun fact about that actor: it's Don Hannah, brother of Daryl Hannah.
Tony is awesome in person. Thank you for alien's and again sorry for interrupting your breakfast 🥞 . We felt so bad it was early morning. Shout out to Jessica Casey ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It's fine! I'm glad you stopped by!
@@HackTheMovies Fine.......and FUN!?
Glad you're starting this series since you'll be done with Friday the 13th in January
Bro they legit said they are gonna do the last 3 on separate episodes. So you gonna have 2 more Fridays to enjoy after January
@@Sanfaso yes however if you look you might notice I had posted that before the video went live.
I'm more of a Elm Street 3 and 4 fan, I still appreciate the technical achievements done by the original. Tina's room death and Glenn's death bed were great.
Of all the ones I've seen I think 3 and 4 are my favorites. I do like how scary this one is though.
fellow Dream Warrior as well. I too love 3+4.
@@AloisWeimar I also really like how these movies gave Freddy a personality as a wisecracking dream demon.
Elm Street 3 was the best after the first one. The rest were just excuses to put on some popcorn.
It is a deleted scene and it's not just Nancy, but Tina, Glen, and Rod all had older siblings killed by Freddy. It's an extended scene in the basement. It's on RUclips.
Fun fact, my wife used to cut John Saxons hair in his final years.
My wife did too
I think the giant arms scare in Tina's dream is awesome.
One of my favorite horror scares.
Craven (and Carpenter) are great at making things that are fantastical (?) like dreams and nightmares seem realistic.
If you ever get a chance to see Never Sleep Again, The Elm Street Legacy, it has a great part with Robert Englund talking about that scene.
I always loved how Freddy was the talkative stalker. He always torments his victims in various ways. The more the series goes on, you get some pretty funny gags and sinister bits. My favorite is still the marionette kill in 3. That one has always stuck with me.
Pity that the writers turned him into a unthreatening Bugs Bunny.
@Tiswaser i would love to see a more ghoulish, violent Freddy make a return.
*48:12* Johanna reaction from Tony's Roger Rabbit was pure gold
I love when Hack the Movies covers horror. Tony, please talk about Hereditary!
I always misunderstood the lamb in the intro (which comes back in Freddy Vs. Jason, oddly enough) as being Fred's way of calling you a lamb to the slaughter.
Can't wait for this! Always love it when Johanna and Jess join you!
1:15:13 freddy vs jason is turning 20 next year, August 15th 2023. Please have review by then with Jessica and crystal!
Thanks to 'Nightmare', which I saw exactly 22 years ago, Nancy Thompson is my favorite character OF ALL TIME, EVERYTHING about her, and I compare every character I love to her--before her, I used to love Aladdin most of all, and she just so happens to be just like him--same characteristics and personality and uses her strength within to defeat her enemy:):) Teenage girl Dr. Loomis too, complete with the big piercing blue eyes and fighting back personality while everyone thinks they're crazy! I WISH the first movie got to have its original happy ending with Freddy not actually being real, it was all a dream, because that just makes her even better. Dreamed him up only to remind herself how to make her demons go away! If only Wes kept in the scene when she's told about her murdered sibling and she asks Marge 'What gave you the right to take the law into your own hands?' And when Glen's dad tells Donald 'God's punishing us all' since it's all supposed to be Nancy's dream:):) Then she returned AS Dr. Loomis in 'Dream Warriors', was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice of her own life to protect the kids, and THEN got to be Karen Barclay in 'New Nightmare' saving her son;)
The script says it takes place in the San Fernando Valley, mentions Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Ventura Boulevard--and Nancy, Don, and Marge all have different last names;) And it's 'Leprechaun 2' that's EXACTLY LIKE this movie, seriously, especially Cody literally being boy Nancy! Looks like her, acts like her, same age, uses his smarts to defeat the villain...and has an irresponsible alcoholic guardian;)
I was introduced to the series pretty young. I don't think I was a teen. Freddy scared me and still kinda remember the nightmare still oddly enough. Me and my mom was looking around at a new house and Freddy was disguised as the realtor. Slashed us at the end. LOL.
And love that Craven is Ohio native.
This is one of my favorite film franchises of all time. I may be borderline obsessed.
The original nightmare is just a classic story and still frightening. Tina’s nightmare is still hands down the scariest and most iconic horror movie death of all time! I can’t wait to see reviews on the rest, I think New Nightmare is the best one. I consider it Craven’s Magnum Opus.
This video proves it. Tony won’t put Johanna and Crystal on the same show cause they are too powerful together.
Poor Johanna and her sniffling & sneezing….Girl, I feel your pain! Way to commit to the bit though! 🙌🏻
This is a really elaborate way to promote a mattress
I agree Tony, Freddy’s Dead is awesome! It’s like Dream Warriors on steroids if it had a baby with John Waters and David Lynch! It ups the surrealism and one-liners and It’s the first film since part 3 to have a complete script and wasn’t rushed. It knew what it was, capitalized on the horror comedy trend of the time, and tried to deconstruct the entire series! It’s fun and entertaining! It also still carries the themes of the series (all the kids including doctor Maggie are troubled from their parents). And any film that name drops Twin Peaks is an immediate win in my book!
Jessica and Freddy, winning combo!
Omfg... putting the audio of Tony wagging his tongue over the freddy phone scene had me dying lololololool
I watched this for the first time when I was 5 years in 1985 and I thought it was a comedy the first time I seen it. The blood shooting to the ceiling and Freddy dragging the mannequin through the door at the end. On another note, I can confirm that if Freddy kills you in your dream, you don't die in real life as he's gotten me three times. When I was 8, I had a dream that I was playing Mario Brothers on the nes and was trying to beat Bowser at the end and Freddy jumped through the window of my room and stabbed me, I woke up immediately and was scared to look down to see if I was really cut. The second time when I was 10 was really creepy, I was in an alleyway with no windows, ladders or doors and Freddy was 2 miles away from me telling me he was gonna get me, I said you will never catch me, then he leaped high in the air and started flying towards me with frames shooting out from behind him, I started running but every time I turn around he was getting closer and closer until he got me. Third time was kinda like the 3rd movie when he killed them guy using his veins as puppets. Except I was on the ground and Freddy appeared huge over a building before squashing me. Like Tony, my parents never cared about what I watched as a kid.
when the wedding singer came out and that scene with the kid dressed as freddy came on... i laughed so friggin' hard. "i'm gonna cut you open!" "ok ok, go back to the boiler room, freddy." my siblings and i played (make-believe) a nightmare on elm street. i was OBSESSED with it. parts 1, 3, and 4. though i have an appreciation for all of them as i've gotten older. i could go on and on about all the trouble i got into because of those movies. when i got in trouble, my ma actually started grounding me from "freddy movies" as she called them. and it worked! ahhhhhh... being an 80s child... the stories. 99 cent video stores and kids in corporated. crazy times.
also, "i thought freddy was goinng to finger her." LOL! that is so messed up! freddy got fingered... or nancy got fingered. whatever.
We are ready for Freddy
We need more Jess.
Freddy in space would be interesting. Imagine the setting is nasa is doing experiments with long term sleep for distant travel
When I was little Freddy really scared me a lot. One time my cousin tide me to a chair , held my eye lids open and made me watch it . Fun times . Thank you Tony for having such pretty babes on your show .
Nightmare on Elm Street is genuinely a masterpiece, looking back it was probably the best of all the original slashers
I love this movie so much. It introduced me to horror and put me on a fun as hell path through the genre. Great review!
Speaking of Tank Girl, Lori Petty also appears in Freddy's Nightmares before she was famous
I dont think they ever released Freddy's Nightmares on home media.
I was maybe 5 years old at the oldest when I saw nightmare on elm street and it made me horrified of Freddy for years. years later I enjoy it and it’s one of my favorite horror films.
It cracks me up when Freddy is set alight. He buffs up like a wrestler and screams "NOOO!" in a Cockney accent without his lips moving.
In the original VHS tapes at the beginning when he is spooking Tina when he jumps up behind her you can literally see him crouched down and scoot over for the jump scare, and when he jumps from behind the tree it's a mirror effect because the gloves on his left hand
Freddy always scare me the most of the kids because if I didn’t wanna get killed by Michael, just don’t go out on Halloween. If I didn’t wanna get killed by Jason, don’t go to camp crystal lake. If I didn’t wanna get killed by Leatherface, don’t go to Texas. But everybody’s has to sleep, plus being killed by my worst fear… That’s pretty scary.
Actually, Amanda Wyss (Tina) was the oldest of the four. Heather was the one who was actually closest to the age they were playing. They all looked pretty young, though.
Always thought the sheep were representative of counting sheep to fall asleep
dude jessica is cool as fuck! crazy finally seeing her because all we had to go on was peripheral personality from her edit comments during the episode.
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" may not have been the 1 to start the slasher genre, but it helped bring the supernatural to it though. Most slasher villains before Freddy Krueger were just mentally ill people with a gimmick,after Freddy you get a supernatural Jason Voorhees/Michael Myers,Maniac Cop,Chucky,Candyman, ect.
I get your point and I hate to be one of those guys but nudes was always a lil bit super natural always had clear immortality
My cat does the same thing Tony. He starts patting me too make sure I'm ok.
As an Ohio native, I see palm trees at the edges of all the corn fields. They look lovely in the winter snow, too.
Jess and Johanna make a great team.up.
I'd make the argument that the most magical killer is Julian Sands Warlock.
Jessica cracks me up!
Love to see Jess in more reviews. The back and forth with wit between jess and johanna is gold, bloody hilarious. "Are you done talking about dicks", "Are we?" 🤣🤣
And I vote we bring the crop top back. But only for full figured gentlemen, 6 packs need not apply.
I want to point out that I think the point of the ending is that Nancy's plan to bring Freddy into the real world never actually worked. At some point, she fell asleep and was dreaming again, which explains how her mom sunk into the bed. John Saxon and all of the other cops were just figments of her dream. She even says something like "I know this is just another one of your dreams, Krueger." So even if the absurd ending scene with the car hadn't been added, I feel like the entire final 15-20 minutes of the movie is just dream stuff.
No. The movie was supposed to end on a happy note, but Robert Shaye had other ideas
@@JIF882 I'm aware of that. I'm talking about the finished movie as it is, though.
I love how both this movie and Halloween are set in Midwestern towns, and both are filmed in Pasadena. If it weren't for the palm trees, it still looks like Every Town, USA
When Johanna put on the Freddy Sweater all I could think about was the phrase SWEATERMEAT.
LOLOL
"How sweet: SWEATERMEAT."
Finally this review is happening ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The very famous Tony from Hack the Movies is such a great actor, I actually thought he was trapped in the dream world.
I'm surprised Shout Factory hasn't released the entire film series on Blu Ray
Id be happy with just new nightmare
Because New Line owns it. I want a version with extended scenes
Jessica looks like the sweetest person with a sharp tongue for such funny commentaries
My first nightmare I ever recall was fueled by the parachute bed of spikes scene. I was 4-5 years old!
The house that Freddy built
I just wish the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash was a movie based in the comic.
Great review.
Keep on being awesome Tony! 😁
Watchin NOES for the first time last year is crazy
I loved Freddy's Dead because it's the first movie I watched in theaters.
For the 2022 Halloween season, I rewatched the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series -- omitting the remake, of course.
Johanna haven't seen you in a whuile Jessica you are adorable
Elm Street 2 is the funniest movie of All Time
I love this franchise. I actually like Part 2 more than most people.
I got to meet Heather Langenkamp and she was a sweetheart.
I met her right after we shot this and she was so nice!
I really hope we can get an "avengers assemble" revival for Nightmare like we have for Halloween, Child's Play, and Evil Dead. (And perhaps maybe even a second round against Jason? Eh? Eh?)The remake was an interesting experiment, and in a vacuum I'd probably say Jackie Earl Haley gives a good performance, but it has not yet joined its brethren in the Valhalla of cultural memory, and I don't think it's destined to either. Every year for more than three decades a new group of friends has bet a portion of their hard-won Halloween candy on who has the best Freddy impression, and they've all been working off of Robert Englund. Even if someone else could do the character justice, there's no passing that torch.
I can still take my (home) phone off the hook if I want. My cell phone isn’t even near me like 90% of the day, so ignoring or not answering is real easy.
More Jess, yay!
Yes! One of my favorite movies
Great movie choice!! Jessica did awesome once again and everyone was so funny 🤣
Wes's masterpiece. They don't make em like that anymore
I really like insidious 1 and 2, the others..... I've never seen a Paranormal Activity movie so I'd actually love a "best of/worst of" from both
YAY JESSICA WOOHOO YEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Nightmare is my franchise. I was pretty young when I saw the first one and it was the scariest thing I ever saw and Freddy was THE killer among my friends and me. Jason was #2, but nobody was as big as Freddy. The Dream Child was the first new Freddy movie coming out by the time I had got into the series. I just remember eventually seeing that one on vhs, since I was way too young to see it in the theaters, and it was when I started realizing how goofy Freddy has become. I just stuck to the first four for a long time but now, with age, I appreciate The Dream Child and Freddy’s Dead for what they are and I actually really like them for their campiness (even though TDC is still a hard watch…the 3D spent Freddy’s…yikes)
Part 2 is one of my favorites to me it's where Freddy is still kept in the dark and is evil. I know I'm probably the minority but I still love that movie followed by part 3 and the original.
Tony, NOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🔊🔊🔊📢🗣Some of us are hearing impaired and wear an amplifying device! Yargghhhh!
Like the background info. Hope you also got to see the Never Sleep Again doc, as that also had a lot of great background info on the Nightmare movies, especially the first one.
i can't stop laughing at "Byyyyyyeeee". lol
It's also the reason Lord of the rings was made with horror director Peter Jackson
taking a stale genre (paranormal possession) and merging it with a BOOMING sensation. Freddy was so influential, Chucky became the next hit with possession slasher, yet, Jason failed. michael failed with the cult angle, and went back to natural born evil. so, Go Wes Craven, changed the slasher game twice.
He chose red and green because he read a magazine article that said the combo of red and green is most difficult for the human eye to perceive
SO EXCITED we're getting 3 standalone eps for the next F13 MOVIES!
Weed coincidence, i rewatched all of them last week
Good group for this one
I saw the original A Nightmare on Elm Street after seeing Nightmare 3 and Nightmare 4….so, to me, the original film always felt like they hadn’t gotten Freddy “right” quite yet. The lack of personality, stripe-less sleeves on his sweater, not quite fantastical kills…yeah, just always felt like Freddy v0. 🤷🏻♂️😂
good episode! glad you covered Nightmare on Elm Street-one of my absolute favorite films and the first horror film i saw!
i do agree with the “Jess’ last episode” joke because i didn’t much enjoy the guests this episode. would’ve liked to hear from people who actually like the franchise.
maybe for the sequels you should bring back the Dumpster boys 🤓
Johanna is being too soft on Tony latetly, more meanness please
the first time I dreamed about Freddy Krueger, He told me to wake up and I woke up. LOL
I had at least twelve bullies and I do not remember their names. (I moved a lot because of my dad's job)
I'm surprised you never got into the discussion of whether or not Freddy is a Cuties fan.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
@hackthemovies
Looking forward to hearing your take on Nightmare 5 and Freddy's Dead. I know they're cornball, but that was my Looney Tunes as a kid.
First two films are the best in hindsight.
The first, third "New Nightmare" are the best. "Freddy's Dead" was stupid but fun.
You forgot 3
@@JIF882 I enjoy 3 for sure. But it doesn't hold up the same now that I am older. Freddy stopped being scary.
Wes was not bullied by a kid named "Fred Krueger" when he was a kid. He was bullied by a kid named "Freddie" (which was the original spelling of Freddy's name until it was officially changed in the second movie). "Krueger" is taken as an extension of Krug from "Last House on the Left" as mentioned and Krueger is also a German name and the Germans invented the boogeyman. So Wes spliced those two names together to get "Fred Krueger." But that was not the bully's name.
New Line Cinema was not a studio at this time. It became a studio in the early 90s. What New Line was was a distributor that dabbled in film production from time to time. New Line released the Sonny Chiba "Street Fighter" trilogy in the United States as well as "The Evil Dead." But their actual original output was far and few between.
No one disliked "Nightmare 2" because "it was the gay one." In fact, that is a more recent stance. No one was talking about that back in the 80s and 90s. No, what turned most off to Nightmare 2 was how weird it was. It didn't really follow the rules laid down by Wes in the original movie. In fact, the movie more than anything is a rip-off of "Amityville II: The Possession." There's so much in common between the two movies but it had little in common with "A Nightmare on Elm Street."
The guy building the glove in the prologue is Jim Doyle, the actual builder of the glove prop.
People have most definitely cosplayed as "Hall Pass Freddy girl." Even someone I know did it.
Freddy may not be a "scholar" but he is highly intelligent apparently. He invents, designs, and builds the glove himself and that takes some smarts.
Whilst "A Nightmare on Elm Street" did seem unique at the time, in actuality, it borrowed heavily from "Phantasm" (1979), right down to the ending. Its not coincidental that Wes Craven wrote his first draft of "Nightmare" in 1979...
Originally, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" DID take place in L.A. However, Bob Shaye wisely got the idea that it would work better if the movie took place in Anytown, U.S.A. so all references to L.A. were removed from the final cut. The name "Springwood" was introduced in the second movie and starting with the third movie, New Line began telling the writers Springwood was in Ohio (and there is some Ohio graffiti in Nightmare 4), but "Freddy's Dead" would be the first time the town was cemented as being in Ohio (because it was going to be the last one).
The janitor in "Scream" dressed like Freddy is the movie's director... Wes Craven.
Review Terrifier 2 jabroni
The rotating room set was also used in breakin 2 electric boogaloo
Thank you for doing this one!
i guess they set it in ohio because people in LA would probably notice if a child murderer was just burnt to death in a boiler room in the city. whereas in a small town, maybe easier to cover up.
This was awesome! I want to get in on one of these!
Jessica ❤😍🔥 lol. Always enjoy the Jessica notes edits on the episodes. Good to see ya back and your nightmares/dreams so 🤣🤣🤣😂.
I assumed that sheep was meant to be counted. Repeatedly apparently since there is only one.
Looking forward to the next ones
