The Jail scene the young man was high as hell and was realizing while filming he was throwing his life in the garbage. He talks about how he watches the scene now and is so ashamed of himself. He got clean and turned his life around so sometimes the road may be rocky but if you keep forward long enough the path will get smoother.
29:46 There was going to be another storyline where Nancy's mom tells Nancy how Freddy killed Nancy's sibling and because Nancy was so young, she never remembered.
After all these years, the practical effect of him pushing against the wall above her bed while she sleeps; is still one of the most iconic shots in horror cinema.
Oh! One more comment, lol. About Heather Langenkamp: While she did continue to work (and TRY to keep getting acting gigs), she joined forces with her husband to run their special effects company AFX. And they have worked on a ton of films. In and out of her roles, she has just always seemed to be a fantastic person. The Elm Street Franchise made the mistake to not include Nancy in the sequels, except for whenever Craven was back in the mix.
One of the greatest horror movies with one of the most iconic villains. The whole "die in your dreams, die for real" concept is terrifying. And Robert Englund's performance makes Freddy Krueger such icon.
Wes Craven actually got the idea from a real thing happening to some Cambodian people, back then, that were predicting they were going to die if they went to sleep, and it actually happening. It was creepy.
@@Wardfolio i know i saw a Behind the Scenes doc on it , Wes Craven has mentioned that and one story in particular of a Cambodian boy who was sure he would die if he fell asleep and he had hid a coffee maker in his room with an extension cord in the closet [he used this for a scene with Nancy ] Another element of that was a chilling image from his childhood of a badly scarred homeless man he saw outside his window who just death stared him one evening .👀 So he came up with this character that is an icon of Horror and truly frightening Wes Craven is a master of Horror and an icon himself RIP to the master W .C Great reaction from both Roxy and Tara . i look forward to more .
Glen was having nightmares like the others, he just wasn't vocal about his experiences. Most likely he was in denial about the whole thing. When Nancy's telling Tina about the "guy with the dirty red and green sweater", there's a shocked look on his face because he had also seen Freddy.
@@thegreenmanofnorwichPlus the scene where him and Nancy are having lunch together, he tells her that he eats when he's nervous and that he used to sleep when he was nervous but no longer does that.
@borntogazeintonightskies I'd also wondered if he lasted second longest because he was more or less pretending that it wasn't happening, and that hampered Freddy's ability to harm him until quite late, whereas Tina was terrified, Rod terrified and traumatised, and Nancy just wasn't sleeping.
1984 was quite a year for certain movies that released at that time. Each of them now gaining a 40th anniversary release this year: - A Nightmare On Elm Street - Beverly Hills Cop - Footloose - Ghostbusters - Gremlins - Indiana Jones 2 - The Karate Kid - Splash - The Terminator
I love how Johnny Depp embraces his Elm Street roots. He makes a cameo in 6 and years after Wes Craven’s New Nightmare came out, Depp said he would’ve been happy to be in the film but was never asked. Wes Craven never asked him because he thought Depp was too big and famous and would outright reject the idea haha.
I heard about that. Depp’s career as an actor was already skyrocketing in the 90s, so Wes believed he might say no. Depp said otherwise. And out of all the Nightmare sequels that released after the 1984 original, 1994’s New Nightmare was my personal favorite. It opened the door for Scream.
He talked about this movie on Inside the Actors Studio and said it wasn't "a bad gig," but when he did the cameo in Freddy's Dead but had his name taken off of it. Wes Craven probably didn't even know he was in Freddy's Dead.
I was 17 years old and worked in a theater as a projectionist/usher when this movie came out. I watched it after hours in an empty theater by myself the night before it came out. Still one of the most frightening experiences of my life.😂
The ending where Freddy comes back and takes the mother was because New Line Cinema wanted sequels to this movie. They saw the film dailies and knew they had a hit on their hands. Wes Craven intended this to be all about Nancy realizing she created a monster in her dreams and she confronted it and woke up. The end was the studio interference
If you’d like, you could interpret the final sequence as a dream belonging to her mother. After all, throughout the series, Freddy can only kill people within their own dreams. Following that logic, if it’s the mother who’s being killed, then it would be her mother’s dream.
New Line Cinema was known as "The House that Freddy Built" because the success of this movie basically saved the studio and led to so much merchandise, sequels, and tv shows.
There's a deleted scene where Nancy's mom explains that Nancy and all her friends had older siblings that were murdered by Freddy and thats why they all got together and killed him.
If you ever have the opportunity, there was a Nightmare On Elm Street TV series called FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES. The intro is a two parter that covers the trial and murder of Freddy Krueger as written by Wes Craven. Then it veers off into a story of the Sheriff's twin daughters (Nancy's dad was Deputy at the time) as Freddy's first kill.
@@dj_daem0nOne major difference is that in the film, Nancy's mom says that Freddy was released because the search warrant was signed incorrectly. In the show, they say that the cop didn't read Freddy his rights during his arrest.
@@connorbrennan4233 Nancy's mom was generalizing with the details. The exact quote was, "the lawyers got fat and the judge got famous, but someone forgot to sign a search warrant in the right place and Krueger was freed just like that." The more important part is that she mentioned tracking him down to the old boiler room with the rest of the parents where they lit him up like a campfire.
They joked around PLENTY before they started the reaction. It almost turned me off actually. But they seem to be well versed in the industry. They've have been redeemed in my eyes ;)
I think by the last act of the film. Nancy was experiencing micro naps. Her brain is shutting down periodically in order to reboot itself. So Nancy doesn't realize that she is rapidly going in and out of sleep.
The ending was the studios idea, Wes Craven had a different ending in mind where Nancy wins and Freddy is vanquished, but the studio wanted an ending where Freddy was alive and won so they could make sequels
We knew it would happen and plus New Line Cinema was a smaller studio at the time as this movie save them from bankruptcy. Those sequels help them to become a largest mini major studio of all time until WB merged with them in 2008.
I love the first one!!!!! This movie made me forget all about my fear of Chucky Fun facts i learned recently: • The scene where Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is attacked by Freddy in her bathtub was shot using a bottomless tub, which was put in a bathroom set that had been built over a swimming pool. During the underwater sequence, Langenkamp was replaced with stuntwoman Christina Johnson. Langenkamp spent 12 hours in the bath during filming. (Talk about pruning like a mug) • In the original script, Freddy was a child molester. However, the decision was made to change him into being a child murderer to avoid accusations of exploiting a series of child molestations in California around the time of production. He was re-written as a child molester in the 2010 remake starring Jackie Earle Haley. • Heather Langenkamp beat over 200 actresses for the role of Nancy Thompson, among them Jennifer Grey, Demi Moore, Courteney Cox, Tracey Gold, and Claudia Wells. • The original glove was later used in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and was also seen hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II (great movie) This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (scared me as an adult) on a television screen in this film, and part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. However, when Wes Craven loaned the glove to the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors set it got lost, and it is rumored to be in possession of Robert Englund's agent. • The inspiration for the character of Freddy came from several sources in Wes Craven's childhood. Fred Krueger was a schoolmate of his, with whom he had shared a paper route and who had bullied him for several years. In The Last House on the Left, Craven also used this experience as inspiration, calling the villain Krug. Freddy's burns came from a man with severe burn scars by whom Craven had once been terrified as a child, and Freddy's attire (especially the dirty clothes and hat) was inspired by an alcoholic hobo that Craven saw staring at him through his window one day when he was 10 years old. • The film cost roughly $1.8 million to produce, of which only $57,000 was reserved for the ambitious special effects; effects designer Jim Doyle accepted anyway, because he was desperate for work. The movie made its entire budget back in its opening weekend. • The very first time Freddy is seen in the movie, he isn't being played by Robert Englund but by special effects man Charles Belardinelli, as Belardinelli was the only one who knew exactly how to cut the glove and insert the blades. • One of the main reasons Johnny Depp was chosen was because Wes Craven's daughter thought he was "dreamy," and threatened to run away from home if he wasn't cast in the movie. • In the end scene, the top to the convertible came down faster and harder than expected. The expression from the actors and actresses is real. • In his room, Glen has a stuffed vulture doll just behind his bed that looks down on him, an omen of his impending fate since vultures are known to feast on dead animals.
Huh? What are you on about? How could you ever forget about Chucky & why would you need to forget about him? What type of nonsense is that? & if anything … A Nightmare On Elm Street is pretty much based on the horror cult classic Phantasm
@@packedentertainment2866 Freddy eats Chucky for breakfast. As cartoony as the movies get (spoiler, no spoiler) It will never be as sad as Seed of Chucky. Chucky is the Krusty The Clown of Horror
"One, two Freddy's coming for you Three, four better lock your door Five, six grab your crucifix Seven, eight gonna stay up late Nine, ten never sleep again" I already know that I'm going to love this reaction. 😊 So excited that Tara and Roxy are starting on this classic horror movie series. There's a total of 8 movies, and that includes the 2010 reboot. 3:11 Yes, this is Johnny Depp's very first movie. And his character gets one of the most memorable death scenes in the franchise. Fun Fact: The actor who plays the doctor at the dream clinic is Charles Fleischer, who provides the voice for Roger Rabbit in the 1988 movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"(which I highly recommend). 29:56 On RUclips, you can find an extended scene of this scene with Nancy and her mom. And in it, he mother revealed that Nancy, Glenn, Tina, and Rod all had a sibling that Freddy had killed. 39:09 No matter how many times I watch this movie.....big jump scare every time. LOL!!! This is one of my favorites in the Nightmare series. Up next is "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge". Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
As a huge horror buff it’s so nice to see Wes Craven still getting his flowers. He helped shape horror in so many different ways. He also stepped out of the genre to make Music of the Heart with Meryl Streep and it was a very good movie. I definitely recommend that one. Enjoyed the review and reaction!!
They had a rotating room set used for both Tina on the ceiling and for Glen's bedroom. For Glen's death, they locked the camera, flipped the set and dumped blood through. If you read behind the scenes they actually didn't account for how heavy that volume of blood would be all at once and the rotating room set wasn't locked down completely so the blood tilted the room and flowed to one corner where it escaped the set and started hitting electrics which was very dangerous. If you watch, you can see some of that at the end of the shot where you see the blood from the ceiling looks like it starts to drip diagonally before they had to cut. It was literally a "we have to get this in one take" situation.
Fun fact that will clear up the confusion about the ending: Wes Craven originally wanted to have a happy ending where Nancy gets her mom and all her friends back, but the producer Robert Shaye wanted an ending that suggested Freddy was still alive so that the door would be left open for a potential sequel. Wes tried to argue that this ending contradicts the whole climax of the movie, but ultimately agreed to go along with what Shaye wanted since he felt like he owed him for getting the film made.
So, fun facts: the nurse at the dream clinic is Wes Craven's daughter. She's the reason Depp was hired. He was written as a jock, so they wanted someone huge, but his daughter and her friends saw the auditions and insisted that Depp was hired because he was the best-looking. The doctor at the dream clinic is the voice of Roger Rabbit. And Nancy (AKA the best Final Girl ever) was written by Craven to be a role-model for his daughter. Which is probably why she's so awesome.
And the teacher in the class is Lin Shaye, the wife of Bob Shaye who owned New Line Cinema at the time. And Nancy (played by Heather Langenkamp) played Marie Lubbock on Just the ten of us. In the first episode, her character runs through the house and makes a nightmare on elm street reference.
Johnny Depp's first role. Gotta love it! This movie had to have a major impact on his method of acting. How he completely envelops himself into the character.
Fun fact: in the scene where Nancy brings Freddy’s hat out of the dream, the doctor who is monitoring her is played by Charles Fleischer, the voice of Roger Rabbit.
20:48. “Why are you bare-foot?”. Because he lives right across from her, and sneaks out of his own bedroom-window at night (when he’s not supposed to) Then he runs over to say “hi” 🤗 It’s just another 80s-movie-thing, lol. Thanks for your reactions, ladies. It’s fun to watch along 🥳 Ps. Just watch “Nightmare 3: Dream Warriors”, and then go straight to “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” 👍 1, 3 and New Nightmare are hands-down EASILY the best!! Funny enough those three films all have Wes Craven involved, and it’s also the three, that had Nancy in them! But in New Nightmare she plays her self, in “real life”. You’ll get it when you see it 🙏
Nightmare of Elm Street was inspired by true events. I forgot where in Asia, there was a story of people who were having terrible nightmares and were so scared to fall asleep they stayed awake for as long as they could, but then died in their sleep.
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 no, it came from Hmong immigrants and some others from Laos and Cambodia in LA fighting to stay awake, saying how there was this man/thing that would chase them, and ended up dying when they finally ended up falling asleep
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 Night terrors can cause you to wake up, and waking dreams can occur during these times. I myself have had multiple dreams where something that I dreamt caused me to wake, only to be confronted by not just hallucinations, but feelings just like you can feel in the dream. For example, one dream I had was where a large dog was charging at me. It jumped at me with its paws on my chest knocking me down to the ground. As it pinned me to the ground, he growled at me and went to bite my face. I woke up with the feeling of sharp nails from the paws digging into my chest, seeing the jaws and teeth of the dog wide open going to bite my head - absolutely while awake. I screamed louder than I ever have in my life, and the image froze and faded away slowly, along with the feeling of the paws.
Lin Shaye ('Insidious', 'Something About Mary', 'Kingpin') was her teacher. Charles Fleischer (voice of Roger Rabbit) was the sleep doctor. Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) is the psychologist in 'Midnight Club'. Skip the second 'Nightmare' movie. The third one is a must! (It features Patricia Arquette.)
Lin Shaye is the wife of Bob Shaye who started and owned New Line Cinema at the time. Heather Langenkamp was in Just the ten of us more importantly. Huge connections between Nightmare on elm streets and just the ten of us.
@@UndrState oh trust me, without the risk of sounding arrogant, I know everything there is to know about the franchise. One of the girls in the beginning of part 2 on the bus, was Joann Willette, who was in just the ten of us. That new line tagline that you stated is something that came out when they began releasing the movies on dvd's. But Bob Shaye began new line out of the trunk of his car in NYC.
When I first started watching this channel last year I thought Tara's ring the bell song was cute, but now after she's come back to us it brings me an infinite amount of joy and I've even started singing along. Don't ever stop being you, Tara! 😍
I think the ending is kind of like dreams themselves - we don't really KNOW wtf the deal is. There's no true answer IMHO. I do love Roxy's thought about maybe that scene was within the mother's nightmare as Freddy takes her (seemed like Tara may have been thinking along the same lines too). In all my years enjoying this film with others, I don't think I've ever heard anyone else offer that notion. 😊 It's pretty open for interpretation and I always just took it as a fun, campy, twist ending to leave the audience without a true happy ending. Just something you can't truly answer 100% (but can be fun trying to anyway). The nightmares will never end! 😆
Johnny's first movie. Also, definitely watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Both are directly tied to this and involve Nancy and her dad. Heather is also one of the biggest scream queens in the business.
Also, the Friday the 17th Floor Franchise is 100% worth watching. You two watching that series of movies will be legendarily awesome! (also known, in some parts of the world, as Friday the 13th). btw we all have those lapses in trivial memory and I love seeing you two work through it. And, yes, 17 *IS* close to 13. 😂
The “god I look 20 years old” thing was kind of a joke because Heather Langenkamp was 20 at the time I think. Also she still does some stuff here and there. She was just in Midnight Club by Mike Flanagan.
What's cool is that she and her husband started a VFX studio and have worked on alot of horror movies like Dawn of the Dead remake and Cabin in the Woods
the only theory i ever heard about the ending that made sense is this: that when Nancy turned her back on Freddy it stole his power to hurt her but does not prevent him from continuing to torment her in her dreams.
The behind the scenes are interesting...How Johnny Depp was cast,Wes Craven directoring,and showing how all the actors all got along.Hell,Robert Englund,hes a down to earth, nice,artistic guy.His most famous part at that time was being the alien in the big 80s mini series V.The way they did the rotating set to show how Freedy killed the girl was mind-blowing at that time.
A major factor in the parent's behavior in the film: This film was for Gen-X era and was representative of parent-child relationships at the time for a massive portion of the generation (remember, we're the "forgotten generation", "latchkey-kids gen", and known for raising ourselves). Folks watch it now for the first time and I see a lot confused or in disbelief about the parents dismissing so much.... watching it at the time or a few years later as Gen-X there wasn't that disbelief or confusion. It fit. The parents' behaviors didn't stand out. The parents are, of course, movie-parents.... but within that they were very realistic in how much they dismissed the concerns of the kids, how they refused proof, how they brushed off or found odd/convenient excuses for injuries rather than take them as serious. To include so far as the cop watching Nancy scream out for help and take a while to go get her father, then do it leisurely. Not surprising or odd. Frustrating when watched because it was familiar, but not surprising or odd or out of place.
Wes hated that particular ending as it wasn’t the one he had intended to have. The producer Bob Shaye wanted an ending that could leave it open ended so he could have a sequel should do the movie do well. In his defense Bob had put everything he had into this project. It’s essentially what launched New Line Cinema. All the people involved with these movies say that New Line Cinema is the house Freddy built. There’s a particularly beautifully done behind the scenes documentary out there named Never Sleep Again but I do suggest watching the rest of the movies before watching it or just watching the part that covers the original film.
Robert Englund, who played Freddy, suggests that everything we see in the movie is a nightmare, of what is to come, and it circles back with the girls jump roping when they arrive at school. Doesnt quite make sense, but i think its the best explanation.
The Ending is hard to explain but Wes Craven basically said that the ending means that even if she defeats Freddy. He's now apart of her psyche. She'll still always have nightmares about him.
This is such a great reaction. The absolute shock and horror you both continuously went through was thoroughly entertaining. I sometimes forget just how effective this movie is.
@@joeblankenship377 for storytelling it is definitely off, but seeing the gimmicky ending as a kid, it rocked. Everyone talked about it in school. Was it the right choice? I'll say yes and no.
This is so cool watching this through their eyes. I've seen it so many times that I forgot how freaking cool it is. The classic bed scene with Johnny is iconic!
The original Nightmare at Elm Street, Dream Warriors and New Nightmare are the best of that horror franchise. Cool to watch Roxy and Tara’s reactions!!!
So in the first draft of this movie they wanted the parents to explicitly come forth and say he was molesting all of them. Not murdering. But it was the 80s so yea. And that’s why they went with that route in the 2010 reboot
Nancy is played by Heather Langenkamp she has been in lots of stuff 80s sitcom called Just the Ten of Us, Growing Pains , she was recently in Mike Flanigan Netflix horror series The Midnight Club
Robert Englund had a role in an episode of the TV series Bones where he played a character based off his Freddy character. I won't go into spoilers of the episode but it goes to show how iconic his role in this franchise is.
Before he was Freddy, Robert Englund was in the TV sci-fi series "V". Before that, he worked as a set builder and even helped scatter "autumn" leaves for the outdoor shots for "Halloween".
Kind of like how Harrison Ford was cast as Han Solo...he was a carpenter on sets and George Lucas saw something about him. Oh man I remember watching V as a child, back in the 80's. Although it got cancelled. Leaving those of us without answers or a conclusion. Out of nowhere.
I LOVE this movie!! Such a great movie to watch! Super entertaining, scary, and great practical horror effects. Plus, a really compelling story! Glad you guys finally watched this classic!
It's my favorite horror movie of all time. I love the concept that if someone kills you on your dream, you're dead for real. Also, Freddy Krueger had 7 minutes of screen time
Heather Langenkamp followed A Nightmare on Elm Street with an ABC sitcom Just the Ten of Us, along with two other girls from the Nightmare franchise and Matt Shakman, who was the director on Wanda/Vision.
One of my favourite movies to watch 1st time watch reactions, because ALL of those amazing, imaginative scenes just pop for every new viewer. It's the magic of cinema and the magic of a really imaginative concept successfully put to screen. I *wish* the sequels kept that same artistic style and atmosphere. The lighting, especially. They're still worth watching for the fun of it all, but they're less creepy and more franchise-y cheese.
Fun Fact: David Warner was originally attached, play Freddy (Wes Craven originally wanted an older actor for the role), but he liked Robert England energetic energy, and he won the part after a scheduling conflict with David Warner
@ReelRejects Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) and her husband became SFX artists. She and her husband did the SFX for films such as "Star Trek Into Darkness", "The Cabin in the Woods", "Dawn of the Dead" (2004).
MY FAVORITE HORROR FRANCHISE! Please please please continue watching these! OMG if Greg and John watch the Friday the 13th franchise and you all watch Freddy vs. Jason together 🔥 Also Robert Englund reprises this role as Freddy in 8 films (besides the reboot). Last name pronounced like England but with “und” at the end. Een-glund. Tina and Glenn’s death were done with a spinning room🙌 Great video y’all! P.s. the studio insisted on a scare at the end against Wes Craven’s wishes, I believe because of the success of the Friday the 13th end scare.
You ladies mentioned wearing the watch with the face on the inside. It's a military/police thing. It cuts down on reflective glare at night, for one. The second thing that it does is allow you to more easily check the time on a precision operation while holding a rifle. 😉 I love watching you two ladies react to films. You're so much fun! Now you have to go through the entire series! ❤
I've never been in the military or any type of police unit,but wore my watch on the inside for many years. Mostly because I don't wear dainty women's watches all the time (only a small gold one when dressed up) and instead wear bulkier, but more useful water resistant watches with options... which leaves a large tan line lol.
@@msfeistybabe That's the same kind of watches that I always wear, but then again, I'm not a female. 🤣 I'm just saying that's where the practice originated, and then it became a popular way to wear a watch. Most people don't know the "why" behind it. Also, I know that those bigger watches leave one Hell if a tan line, especially on a petite person! 😂😂
Roxy and Tara reacting to another horror movie? Don't threaten me with a good time! 🙌👏 Yeah this movie is a trip and the ending is just like "Wait what just happened??". If you guys watch the other movies, I'll be here to watch it! 🎉
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!! my favorite duo of the Rejects continue going through my favorite horror franchises and I love it! I hope you continue to the 3rd one at least. It goes a little off the rails after that but still fun and the franchise gets good again with The New Nightmare
It’s rare for a horror movie to leave the ending up to interpretation. But luckily for you guys there’s like 8 more movies. Tara looked tense through out the whole reaction lol.
9:03 apart from Nancy doing it here it was actually the way soldiers wore their watches when they went out on missions. Having it faced inwards like that reduced the chance of any glare for the enemy to spot you. My Grandfather who fought in the Korean war wore his watch like that his whole life until he passed away.
If you're new to the Elm Street franchise, you are in for a ridiculously chaotic ride. It gets more absurd and cheesy, completely nonsensical and jokey rather than actually scary but damn it's a fun trip. Since you're rightfully taken by Heather Langenkamp, I'd steer you towards New Nightmare, which is incredibly meta and features her playing herself and confronting Freddy alongside dealing with the impact of starring in the series.
@@Hottiechika010 Yeah...she's also the sister of Bob Shaye, founder of New Line Cinemas. He produced the first seven Nightmare on Elm St. films, as well as the original LOTR trilogy.
I had so much fun watching this reaction. This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, and I was so happy you had fun with this. The ending really doesn't make any sense, I always thought it was just a fun way to say Freddy was not done with us. 😁
LMAO. Tara not knowing the Freddy song, priceless. Missed her a lot! She's the best. Wish I had a friend like her in my life! Fun Fact: Not only did Johnny star in this movie, but Kevin Bacon starred in the original "Friday the 13th" movie as well!
The wall effect was done with spandex. During Glen's death they rotated the room and the blood (actually water, some plaster, and food coloring) hit the lights, short circuited the room, caused the room to spin uncontrollably, and almost electrocuted Wes Craven and DP Jacques Haitkin.
Great reaction. Love reactions to the classics. Johnny Depp was actually cast in this because Wes Cravens daughter and her friend saw him and said the thought he was really cute, he mentioned it in a documentary.

Let’s have a moment with the beginning reaction by listening to DJ Roxy and Weird Girl rapping about Freddy. 😂😂😂
The Jail scene the young man was high as hell and was realizing while filming he was throwing his life in the garbage. He talks about how he watches the scene now and is so ashamed of himself. He got clean and turned his life around so sometimes the road may be rocky but if you keep forward long enough the path will get smoother.
29:46 There was going to be another storyline where Nancy's mom tells Nancy how Freddy killed Nancy's sibling and because Nancy was so young, she never remembered.
After all these years, the practical effect of him pushing against the wall above her bed while she sleeps; is still one of the most iconic shots in horror cinema.
Yep, and it's vastly superior to the CGI version in the remake!
@@The-Underbaker Hands down agree
Oh! One more comment, lol. About Heather Langenkamp: While she did continue to work (and TRY to keep getting acting gigs), she joined forces with her husband to run their special effects company AFX. And they have worked on a ton of films. In and out of her roles, she has just always seemed to be a fantastic person. The Elm Street Franchise made the mistake to not include Nancy in the sequels, except for whenever Craven was back in the mix.
One of the greatest horror movies with one of the most iconic villains. The whole "die in your dreams, die for real" concept is terrifying. And Robert Englund's performance makes Freddy Krueger such icon.
Wes Craven actually got the idea from a real thing happening to some Cambodian people, back then, that were predicting they were going to die if they went to sleep, and it actually happening. It was creepy.
@@Wardfolio...yikes 😮
@@Wardfolio i know i saw a Behind the Scenes doc on it , Wes Craven has mentioned that and one story in particular of a Cambodian boy who was sure he would die if he fell asleep and he had hid a coffee maker in his room with an extension cord in the closet [he used this for a scene with Nancy ]
Another element of that was a chilling image from his childhood of a badly scarred homeless man he saw outside his window who just death stared him one evening .👀
So he came up with this character that is an icon of Horror and truly frightening
Wes Craven is a master of Horror and an icon himself
RIP to the master W .C
Great reaction from both Roxy and Tara . i look forward to more .
Glen was having nightmares like the others, he just wasn't vocal about his experiences. Most likely he was in denial about the whole thing.
When Nancy's telling Tina about the "guy with the dirty red and green sweater", there's a shocked look on his face because he had also seen Freddy.
And when his mother wakes him and he jumps really severely.
@@thegreenmanofnorwichPlus the scene where him and Nancy are having lunch together, he tells her that he eats when he's nervous and that he used to sleep when he was nervous but no longer does that.
@borntogazeintonightskies I'd also wondered if he lasted second longest because he was more or less pretending that it wasn't happening, and that hampered Freddy's ability to harm him until quite late, whereas Tina was terrified, Rod terrified and traumatised, and Nancy just wasn't sleeping.
1984 was quite a year for certain movies that released at that time. Each of them now gaining a 40th anniversary release this year:
- A Nightmare On Elm Street
- Beverly Hills Cop
- Footloose
- Ghostbusters
- Gremlins
- Indiana Jones 2
- The Karate Kid
- Splash
- The Terminator
Don't forget "Conan The Destroyer"
And "The Last Starfighter"
Aahh...what a time to be a kid!!!❤💞❤️
I love how Johnny Depp embraces his Elm Street roots.
He makes a cameo in 6 and years after Wes Craven’s New Nightmare came out, Depp said he would’ve been happy to be in the film but was never asked. Wes Craven never asked him because he thought Depp was too big and famous and would outright reject the idea haha.
I heard about that. Depp’s career as an actor was already skyrocketing in the 90s, so Wes believed he might say no. Depp said otherwise. And out of all the Nightmare sequels that released after the 1984 original, 1994’s New Nightmare was my personal favorite. It opened the door for Scream.
Shout out to Johnny Depp for that. I don't get these Actors and Actresses who shit all over their early roles it's part of your journey.
He talked about this movie on Inside the Actors Studio and said it wasn't "a bad gig," but when he did the cameo in Freddy's Dead but had his name taken off of it. Wes Craven probably didn't even know he was in Freddy's Dead.
I love Johnny Depp's acting through the years
He made a cameo in 6!? Shit I gotta watch that again now
I was 17 years old and worked in a theater as a projectionist/usher when this movie came out. I watched it after hours in an empty theater by myself the night before it came out. Still one of the most frightening experiences of my life.😂
Sounds horrifying xD.
Awesome memory.
You've got serious guts, my friend. Hats off to you.
The ending where Freddy comes back and takes the mother was because New Line Cinema wanted sequels to this movie. They saw the film dailies and knew they had a hit on their hands. Wes Craven intended this to be all about Nancy realizing she created a monster in her dreams and she confronted it and woke up. The end was the studio interference
If you’d like, you could interpret the final sequence as a dream belonging to her mother. After all, throughout the series, Freddy can only kill people within their own dreams. Following that logic, if it’s the mother who’s being killed, then it would be her mother’s dream.
New Line Cinema was known as "The House that Freddy Built" because the success of this movie basically saved the studio and led to so much merchandise, sequels, and tv shows.
There's a deleted scene where Nancy's mom explains that Nancy and all her friends had older siblings that were murdered by Freddy and thats why they all got together and killed him.
If you ever have the opportunity, there was a Nightmare On Elm Street TV series called FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES. The intro is a two parter that covers the trial and murder of Freddy Krueger as written by Wes Craven. Then it veers off into a story of the Sheriff's twin daughters (Nancy's dad was Deputy at the time) as Freddy's first kill.
OMG I HAD NO IDEA!! That gives me a whole different POV about this movie now. Thats crazzzyyy😭
@@dj_daem0nOne major difference is that in the film, Nancy's mom says that Freddy was released because the search warrant was signed incorrectly. In the show, they say that the cop didn't read Freddy his rights during his arrest.
@@connorbrennan4233 Nancy's mom was generalizing with the details. The exact quote was, "the lawyers got fat and the judge got famous, but someone forgot to sign a search warrant in the right place and Krueger was freed just like that." The more important part is that she mentioned tracking him down to the old boiler room with the rest of the parents where they lit him up like a campfire.
Did any of you all know that Nancy had a older brother who was killed by Freddy before Nancy was born; Before they omitted it?
I really like the dynamic between these two. They don’t joke around too much, but they don’t take everything too seriously. Great commentary.
They joked around PLENTY before they started the reaction. It almost turned me off actually. But they seem to be well versed in the industry. They've have been redeemed in my eyes ;)
they don't joke around too much?! I must have smaller threshold than you.
I think by the last act of the film. Nancy was experiencing micro naps. Her brain is shutting down periodically in order to reboot itself. So Nancy doesn't realize that she is rapidly going in and out of sleep.
The ending was the studios idea, Wes Craven had a different ending in mind where Nancy wins and Freddy is vanquished, but the studio wanted an ending where Freddy was alive and won so they could make sequels
We knew it would happen and plus New Line Cinema was a smaller studio at the time as this movie save them from bankruptcy. Those sequels help them to become a largest mini major studio of all time until WB merged with them in 2008.
I love the first one!!!!! This movie made me forget all about my fear of Chucky
Fun facts i learned recently:
• The scene where Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is attacked by Freddy in her bathtub was shot using a bottomless tub, which was put in a bathroom set that had been built over a swimming pool. During the underwater sequence, Langenkamp was replaced with stuntwoman Christina Johnson. Langenkamp spent 12 hours in the bath during filming. (Talk about pruning like a mug)
• In the original script, Freddy was a child molester. However, the decision was made to change him into being a child murderer to avoid accusations of exploiting a series of child molestations in California around the time of production. He was re-written as a child molester in the 2010 remake starring Jackie Earle Haley.
• Heather Langenkamp beat over 200 actresses for the role of Nancy Thompson, among them Jennifer Grey, Demi Moore, Courteney Cox, Tracey Gold, and Claudia Wells.
• The original glove was later used in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and was also seen hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II (great movie) This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (scared me as an adult) on a television screen in this film, and part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. However, when Wes Craven loaned the glove to the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors set it got lost, and it is rumored to be in possession of Robert Englund's agent.
• The inspiration for the character of Freddy came from several sources in Wes Craven's childhood. Fred Krueger was a schoolmate of his, with whom he had shared a paper route and who had bullied him for several years. In The Last House on the Left, Craven also used this experience as inspiration, calling the villain Krug. Freddy's burns came from a man with severe burn scars by whom Craven had once been terrified as a child, and Freddy's attire (especially the dirty clothes and hat) was inspired by an alcoholic hobo that Craven saw staring at him through his window one day when he was 10 years old.
• The film cost roughly $1.8 million to produce, of which only $57,000 was reserved for the ambitious special effects; effects designer Jim Doyle accepted anyway, because he was desperate for work. The movie made its entire budget back in its opening weekend.
• The very first time Freddy is seen in the movie, he isn't being played by Robert Englund but by special effects man Charles Belardinelli, as Belardinelli was the only one who knew exactly how to cut the glove and insert the blades.
• One of the main reasons Johnny Depp was chosen was because Wes Craven's daughter thought he was "dreamy," and threatened to run away from home if he wasn't cast in the movie.
• In the end scene, the top to the convertible came down faster and harder than expected. The expression from the actors and actresses is real.
• In his room, Glen has a stuffed vulture doll just behind his bed that looks down on him, an omen of his impending fate since vultures are known to feast on dead animals.
Huh? What are you on about? How could you ever forget about Chucky & why would you need to forget about him? What type of nonsense is that? & if anything … A Nightmare On Elm Street is pretty much based on the horror cult classic Phantasm
@@packedentertainment2866 Freddy eats Chucky for breakfast. As cartoony as the movies get (spoiler, no spoiler) It will never be as sad as Seed of Chucky. Chucky is the Krusty The Clown of Horror
Chucky didn't come out until 1989 retard...
Copy and Paste Much?
The Child's Play franchise is way more consistent than Nightmare on Elm street. Nightmare has a lot of bad movies.
Fun fact: Freddy is only in this movie for 7 minutes! Crazy.
Is that for the whole film? Or is it the end part?
That’s suprising tbh
@@dwaynejohnson5062the entire movie.
He's the human killer version of the shark in Jaws. Awesome scores to both help set up the tension.
Ol Robert Ungland HahahHa
"One, two Freddy's coming for you
Three, four better lock your door
Five, six grab your crucifix
Seven, eight gonna stay up late
Nine, ten never sleep again"
I already know that I'm going to love this reaction. 😊
So excited that Tara and Roxy are starting on this classic horror movie series. There's a total of 8 movies, and that includes the 2010 reboot.
3:11 Yes, this is Johnny Depp's very first movie. And his character gets one of the most memorable death scenes in the franchise.
Fun Fact: The actor who plays the doctor at the dream clinic is Charles Fleischer, who provides the voice for Roger Rabbit in the 1988 movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"(which I highly recommend).
29:56 On RUclips, you can find an extended scene of this scene with Nancy and her mom. And in it, he mother revealed that Nancy, Glenn, Tina, and Rod all had a sibling that Freddy had killed.
39:09 No matter how many times I watch this movie.....big jump scare every time. LOL!!!
This is one of my favorites in the Nightmare series.
Up next is "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge".
Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
I'd be 110% down for y'all to watch all of these horror movies and all of their sequels, even the campier ones! 💜
I love when he stretches out from the wall. That's a practical effect, and it looks amazing.
Pretty simple one too from what I understand...they used a stretchy fabric over a cutout in the wall. Of course in the re-make, it was CGI'd.
That Charlie Murphy "Wrong!" was perfect!👌😂😂
As a huge horror buff it’s so nice to see Wes Craven still getting his flowers. He helped shape horror in so many different ways. He also stepped out of the genre to make Music of the Heart with Meryl Streep and it was a very good movie. I definitely recommend that one. Enjoyed the review and reaction!!
They had a rotating room set used for both Tina on the ceiling and for Glen's bedroom. For Glen's death, they locked the camera, flipped the set and dumped blood through. If you read behind the scenes they actually didn't account for how heavy that volume of blood would be all at once and the rotating room set wasn't locked down completely so the blood tilted the room and flowed to one corner where it escaped the set and started hitting electrics which was very dangerous. If you watch, you can see some of that at the end of the shot where you see the blood from the ceiling looks like it starts to drip diagonally before they had to cut. It was literally a "we have to get this in one take" situation.
Glenn was always having dreams as well. He makes a face at the sleepover giving it away
It's also why he was watching TV and listening to music at the same time, trying to stay awake
And why he jumps so suddenly when his mother wakes him shortly before his death.
Fun fact that will clear up the confusion about the ending: Wes Craven originally wanted to have a happy ending where Nancy gets her mom and all her friends back, but the producer Robert Shaye wanted an ending that suggested Freddy was still alive so that the door would be left open for a potential sequel. Wes tried to argue that this ending contradicts the whole climax of the movie, but ultimately agreed to go along with what Shaye wanted since he felt like he owed him for getting the film made.
"Maybe you don't think murder is serious."
God, I love that line.
So, fun facts: the nurse at the dream clinic is Wes Craven's daughter. She's the reason Depp was hired. He was written as a jock, so they wanted someone huge, but his daughter and her friends saw the auditions and insisted that Depp was hired because he was the best-looking.
The doctor at the dream clinic is the voice of Roger Rabbit.
And Nancy (AKA the best Final Girl ever) was written by Craven to be a role-model for his daughter. Which is probably why she's so awesome.
No the nurse was his wife at the time Mimi craven
And the teacher in the class is Lin Shaye, the wife of Bob Shaye who owned New Line Cinema at the time. And Nancy (played by Heather Langenkamp) played Marie Lubbock on Just the ten of us. In the first episode, her character runs through the house and makes a nightmare on elm street reference.
Johnny Depp's first role. Gotta love it! This movie had to have a major impact on his method of acting. How he completely envelops himself into the character.
What is your FAVORITE Freddy Movie??
It will always be Part 3 for me
Part 3 dream warriors for sure ❤
The fnaf movie
This one, 3(Dream Warriors), 4(Dream Master), and Wes Craven's A New Nightmare.
Freddy vs Jason
Fun fact: in the scene where Nancy brings Freddy’s hat out of the dream, the doctor who is monitoring her is played by Charles Fleischer, the voice of Roger Rabbit.
20:48. “Why are you bare-foot?”. Because he lives right across from her, and sneaks out of his own bedroom-window at night (when he’s not supposed to) Then he runs over to say “hi” 🤗 It’s just another 80s-movie-thing, lol.
Thanks for your reactions, ladies. It’s fun to watch along 🥳
Ps. Just watch “Nightmare 3: Dream Warriors”, and then go straight to “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” 👍 1, 3 and New Nightmare are hands-down EASILY the best!! Funny enough those three films all have Wes Craven involved, and it’s also the three, that had Nancy in them! But in New Nightmare she plays her self, in “real life”. You’ll get it when you see it 🙏
"5, 6,..... do what to your what?" LMFAO Roxy.
Nightmare of Elm Street was inspired by true events. I forgot where in Asia, there was a story of people who were having terrible nightmares and were so scared to fall asleep they stayed awake for as long as they could, but then died in their sleep.
Didn't happen in Asia, it happened to people from Asia. It was happening to Hmong immigrants in Los Angeles.
Craven talked about his inspiration and the cases of kids who wouldn't sleep in the documentary "Never Sleep Again"
Didn't it have to do people with night terrors bc you can hallucinate from them or something
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 no, it came from Hmong immigrants and some others from Laos and Cambodia in LA fighting to stay awake, saying how there was this man/thing that would chase them, and ended up dying when they finally ended up falling asleep
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 Night terrors can cause you to wake up, and waking dreams can occur during these times. I myself have had multiple dreams where something that I dreamt caused me to wake, only to be confronted by not just hallucinations, but feelings just like you can feel in the dream. For example, one dream I had was where a large dog was charging at me. It jumped at me with its paws on my chest knocking me down to the ground. As it pinned me to the ground, he growled at me and went to bite my face. I woke up with the feeling of sharp nails from the paws digging into my chest, seeing the jaws and teeth of the dog wide open going to bite my head - absolutely while awake. I screamed louder than I ever have in my life, and the image froze and faded away slowly, along with the feeling of the paws.
I got to meet Heather Langenkamp at a con in 2019. Happy to say she is every bit the sweetheart you’d think she is.
33:13 that's exactly what they did the room is rotated by a crank while the furniture is nailed down
Lin Shaye ('Insidious', 'Something About Mary', 'Kingpin') was her teacher. Charles Fleischer (voice of Roger Rabbit) was the sleep doctor. Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) is the psychologist in 'Midnight Club'.
Skip the second 'Nightmare' movie. The third one is a must! (It features Patricia Arquette.)
I totally forgot that was her in something about Mary.
Lin Shaye is the wife of Bob Shaye who started and owned New Line Cinema at the time. Heather Langenkamp was in Just the ten of us more importantly. Huge connections between Nightmare on elm streets and just the ten of us.
@@horrorfan-addict78 - New Line is the house that Freddy built
Also you can't skip Freddy 2 , it's goofy but it's a classic .
@@UndrState oh trust me, without the risk of sounding arrogant, I know everything there is to know about the franchise. One of the girls in the beginning of part 2 on the bus, was Joann Willette, who was in just the ten of us. That new line tagline that you stated is something that came out when they began releasing the movies on dvd's. But Bob Shaye began new line out of the trunk of his car in NYC.
When I first started watching this channel last year I thought Tara's ring the bell song was cute, but now after she's come back to us it brings me an infinite amount of joy and I've even started singing along. Don't ever stop being you, Tara! 😍
I always end up stuck on it for hours after watching a reaction.
@@emilywilhite5807 same! It just makes me so psyched! Same with PURGE 😂
I think the ending is kind of like dreams themselves - we don't really KNOW wtf the deal is. There's no true answer IMHO. I do love Roxy's thought about maybe that scene was within the mother's nightmare as Freddy takes her (seemed like Tara may have been thinking along the same lines too). In all my years enjoying this film with others, I don't think I've ever heard anyone else offer that notion. 😊 It's pretty open for interpretation and I always just took it as a fun, campy, twist ending to leave the audience without a true happy ending. Just something you can't truly answer 100% (but can be fun trying to anyway). The nightmares will never end! 😆
Johnny's first movie. Also, definitely watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Both are directly tied to this and involve Nancy and her dad. Heather is also one of the biggest scream queens in the business.
Wait wait HOLD UP a minute i was expecting Child’s play 2. Either or that means we get 2 horror franchises with my 2 favorite ladies of the channel ❤🎉
YESSSSSS
Also, the Friday the 17th Floor Franchise is 100% worth watching. You two watching that series of movies will be legendarily awesome! (also known, in some parts of the world, as Friday the 13th).
btw we all have those lapses in trivial memory and I love seeing you two work through it. And, yes, 17 *IS* close to 13. 😂
A little over 10 minutes in, and I already want Tara and Roxy to watch this entire franchise!!!
Each movie in this series is like 5X worse than the previous one! Parts 4-6 are unwatchable to me.
@@ryanjacobson2508 ill take 2 over 3!
Introducing Robert Unglund 😂
This reaction totally made my day better!! ❤
Right? Who even is Robert Unglund? 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting name but I have heard Stranger Things
@@GladtoberanDOMwait, you didn’t watch it? 😂😂
The “god I look 20 years old” thing was kind of a joke because Heather Langenkamp was 20 at the time I think. Also she still does some stuff here and there. She was just in Midnight Club by Mike Flanagan.
What's cool is that she and her husband started a VFX studio and have worked on alot of horror movies like Dawn of the Dead remake and Cabin in the Woods
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 yeah! 😊
Nancy is just the best final girl. Straight up tackles Freddy and home alone’s her house. Such a great film.
the only theory i ever heard about the ending that made sense is this: that when Nancy turned her back on Freddy it stole his power to hurt her but does not prevent him from continuing to torment her in her dreams.
The behind the scenes are interesting...How Johnny Depp was cast,Wes Craven directoring,and showing how all the actors all got along.Hell,Robert Englund,hes a down to earth, nice,artistic guy.His most famous part at that time was being the alien in the big 80s mini series V.The way they did the rotating set to show how Freedy killed the girl was mind-blowing at that time.
You ladies are being introduced to more and more horror movie icons, and I'm all here for it! 🔪 💜
A major factor in the parent's behavior in the film: This film was for Gen-X era and was representative of parent-child relationships at the time for a massive portion of the generation (remember, we're the "forgotten generation", "latchkey-kids gen", and known for raising ourselves).
Folks watch it now for the first time and I see a lot confused or in disbelief about the parents dismissing so much.... watching it at the time or a few years later as Gen-X there wasn't that disbelief or confusion. It fit. The parents' behaviors didn't stand out.
The parents are, of course, movie-parents.... but within that they were very realistic in how much they dismissed the concerns of the kids, how they refused proof, how they brushed off or found odd/convenient excuses for injuries rather than take them as serious.
To include so far as the cop watching Nancy scream out for help and take a while to go get her father, then do it leisurely. Not surprising or odd. Frustrating when watched because it was familiar, but not surprising or odd or out of place.
Wes hated that particular ending as it wasn’t the one he had intended to have. The producer Bob Shaye wanted an ending that could leave it open ended so he could have a sequel should do the movie do well. In his defense Bob had put everything he had into this project. It’s essentially what launched New Line Cinema. All the people involved with these movies say that New Line Cinema is the house Freddy built. There’s a particularly beautifully done behind the scenes documentary out there named Never Sleep Again but I do suggest watching the rest of the movies before watching it or just watching the part that covers the original film.
Now we need the whole series reaction and Freddy Vs. Jason.
Robert Englund, who played Freddy, suggests that everything we see in the movie is a nightmare, of what is to come, and it circles back with the girls jump roping when they arrive at school.
Doesnt quite make sense, but i think its the best explanation.
Heather Langenkamp’s most recent role was playing the hospice care founder and one of the main characters on the Netflix show “The Midnight Club”
The Ending is hard to explain but Wes Craven basically said that the ending means that even if she defeats Freddy. He's now apart of her psyche. She'll still always have nightmares about him.
This is such a great reaction. The absolute shock and horror you both continuously went through was thoroughly entertaining. I sometimes forget just how effective this movie is.
The studio forced Wes Craven to tack on that ending. He didn’t want it.
Back in the 80's there were a lot of tacked on scare endings.
Yeah, the ending always makes me roll my eyes. But in a way, it kinda foreshadows the goofiness to come in the sequels.
@@joeblankenship377 for storytelling it is definitely off, but seeing the gimmicky ending as a kid, it rocked. Everyone talked about it in school. Was it the right choice? I'll say yes and no.
This is so cool watching this through their eyes. I've seen it so many times that I forgot how freaking cool it is. The classic bed scene with Johnny is iconic!
Dubbing y'all scream queens! Should’ve done this during your Purge run. The Tara + Roxy dynamic is probably my favorite on this channel
Anyone catch that the teacher is Lin Shaye who plays Elise Rainier in the Insidious movies. She has such a distinct (sp?) voice.
The original Nightmare at Elm Street, Dream Warriors and New Nightmare are the best of that horror franchise. Cool to watch Roxy and Tara’s reactions!!!
This movie came out when I was born. To say Robert Englund has scared me my whole life is an understatement. This was such a fun review.
So in the first draft of this movie they wanted the parents to explicitly come forth and say he was molesting all of them. Not murdering. But it was the 80s so yea. And that’s why they went with that route in the 2010 reboot
Woah dark af
Nancy is played by Heather Langenkamp she has been in lots of stuff
80s sitcom called Just the Ten of Us, Growing Pains , she was recently in Mike Flanigan Netflix horror series The Midnight Club
"Fifteen! fourteen! thirteen! 13th floor is what I said! You can *rewind the tape!"* Ohh Tara. You truly are such a mom, and it is precious. 😊
Robert Englund had a role in an episode of the TV series Bones where he played a character based off his Freddy character. I won't go into spoilers of the episode but it goes to show how iconic his role in this franchise is.
Before he was Freddy, Robert Englund was in the TV sci-fi series "V".
Before that, he worked as a set builder and even helped scatter "autumn" leaves for the outdoor shots for "Halloween".
Kind of like how Harrison Ford was cast as Han Solo...he was a carpenter on sets and George Lucas saw something about him.
Oh man I remember watching V as a child, back in the 80's. Although it got cancelled. Leaving those of us without answers or a conclusion. Out of nowhere.
I LOVE this movie!! Such a great movie to watch! Super entertaining, scary, and great practical horror effects. Plus, a really compelling story! Glad you guys finally watched this classic!
It's my favorite horror movie of all time. I love the concept that if someone kills you on your dream, you're dead for real. Also, Freddy Krueger had 7 minutes of screen time
Heather Langenkamp followed A Nightmare on Elm Street with an ABC sitcom Just the Ten of Us, along with two other girls from the Nightmare franchise and Matt Shakman, who was the director on Wanda/Vision.
This was a great reaction! I hope you keep going with the series, because 3 is amazing!
True, but maybe skip #2.
One of my favourite movies to watch 1st time watch reactions, because ALL of those amazing, imaginative scenes just pop for every new viewer. It's the magic of cinema and the magic of a really imaginative concept successfully put to screen.
I *wish* the sequels kept that same artistic style and atmosphere. The lighting, especially. They're still worth watching for the fun of it all, but they're less creepy and more franchise-y cheese.
Fun Fact: David Warner was originally attached, play Freddy (Wes Craven originally wanted an older actor for the role), but he liked Robert England energetic energy, and he won the part after a scheduling conflict with David Warner
Wrong I asked David this he said he was never asked to be in this movie it’s as always Robert englund
@ReelRejects Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) and her husband became SFX artists. She and her husband did the SFX for films such as "Star Trek Into Darkness", "The Cabin in the Woods", "Dawn of the Dead" (2004).
Didn't realize they did Cabin in the Woods , that movie was great and there was a lot of SFX work in there .
The guy that plays Freddy also plays plays a character in season 4 of stranger things.
Robert Englund (AKA Freddy) was also in the 80's TV series "V". He's a good actor.
He was also in an episode of Supernatural
32:27 The amount of times Roxy misses little things because she's constantly watching the other reactor's face is... wow.
But I didn’t miss anything. Be chill.
MY FAVORITE HORROR FRANCHISE! Please please please continue watching these! OMG if Greg and John watch the Friday the 13th franchise and you all watch Freddy vs. Jason together 🔥 Also Robert Englund reprises this role as Freddy in 8 films (besides the reboot). Last name pronounced like England but with “und” at the end. Een-glund. Tina and Glenn’s death were done with a spinning room🙌 Great video y’all!
P.s. the studio insisted on a scare at the end against Wes Craven’s wishes, I believe because of the success of the Friday the 13th end scare.
Definitely need to continue these reactions of classic horror movies (maybe theyll do some obscure stuff too)! These two hosts are great together!
You ladies mentioned wearing the watch with the face on the inside. It's a military/police thing. It cuts down on reflective glare at night, for one. The second thing that it does is allow you to more easily check the time on a precision operation while holding a rifle. 😉 I love watching you two ladies react to films. You're so much fun! Now you have to go through the entire series! ❤
I've never been in the military or any type of police unit,but wore my watch on the inside for many years. Mostly because I don't wear dainty women's watches all the time (only a small gold one when dressed up) and instead wear bulkier, but more useful water resistant watches with options... which leaves a large tan line lol.
@@msfeistybabe That's the same kind of watches that I always wear, but then again, I'm not a female. 🤣 I'm just saying that's where the practice originated, and then it became a popular way to wear a watch. Most people don't know the "why" behind it. Also, I know that those bigger watches leave one Hell if a tan line, especially on a petite person! 😂😂
Heather Langenkamp and her husband run a special effects horror makeup studio that created monsters in American Horror Story and many horror movies .
Roxy and Tara reacting to another horror movie? Don't threaten me with a good time! 🙌👏
Yeah this movie is a trip and the ending is just like "Wait what just happened??". If you guys watch the other movies, I'll be here to watch it! 🎉
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!! my favorite duo of the Rejects continue going through my favorite horror franchises and I love it! I hope you continue to the 3rd one at least. It goes a little off the rails after that but still fun and the franchise gets good again with The New Nightmare
It’s rare for a horror movie to leave the ending up to interpretation. But luckily for you guys there’s like 8 more movies.
Tara looked tense through out the whole reaction lol.
9:03 apart from Nancy doing it here it was actually the way soldiers wore their watches when they went out on missions. Having it faced inwards like that reduced the chance of any glare for the enemy to spot you. My Grandfather who fought in the Korean war wore his watch like that his whole life until he passed away.
The part where Freddy is in the wall, popping out over the bed was a wall made of pantyhose. That freaked me out when I was a kid. Such a great image.
If you're new to the Elm Street franchise, you are in for a ridiculously chaotic ride. It gets more absurd and cheesy, completely nonsensical and jokey rather than actually scary but damn it's a fun trip. Since you're rightfully taken by Heather Langenkamp, I'd steer you towards New Nightmare, which is incredibly meta and features her playing herself and confronting Freddy alongside dealing with the impact of starring in the series.
Great Reaction Roxy and Tara! This movie is a great horror classic! 👍
I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST!!! I LOVE WHEN TARA AND ROXY WATCH SCARY MOVIES 💗💗💗💗
Love this sm
YESSSSSS❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m crying. one of my fav horror series, with my fav scream queens. blessed.😭🙏🏻
Great reaction. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favorite horror franchise. Hope you two do the rest of them.
How did you 2 miss Lin Shaye as the teacher at 18:02 🙂
Maybe cause they don't know who she is 🤷🏽♂️
She is from Insidious right? I saw that movie when I was 7.
@@Hottiechika010
Yeah...she's also the sister of Bob Shaye, founder of New Line Cinemas. He produced the first seven Nightmare on Elm St. films, as well as the original LOTR trilogy.
Got damn it!!!! Y’all brought me back to RUclips for a week or 2 with this franchise.
One of my favorite movies in the series is Dream Warriors.
"Welcome to Prime Time bitch!" Is one of my favorite lines
I had so much fun watching this reaction. This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, and I was so happy you had fun with this.
The ending really doesn't make any sense, I always thought it was just a fun way to say Freddy was not done with us. 😁
LMAO. Tara not knowing the Freddy song, priceless. Missed her a lot! She's the best. Wish I had a friend like her in my life!
Fun Fact: Not only did Johnny star in this movie, but Kevin Bacon starred in the original "Friday the 13th" movie as well!
If I ever met Roxy and Tara in person I would probably be shaking like a lunatic and introduce myself as “Helloiloveyou”
Can’t wait
Day 6 of asking Roxy and Tara to watch The Conjuring 2
I second that😂
Technically you should probably be asking Greg lol
The wall effect was done with spandex. During Glen's death they rotated the room and the blood (actually water, some plaster, and food coloring) hit the lights, short circuited the room, caused the room to spin uncontrollably, and almost electrocuted Wes Craven and DP Jacques Haitkin.
Everyone loves captain jacks entrance but gland death in his first role was the best death ever
Great reaction. Love reactions to the classics.
Johnny Depp was actually cast in this because Wes Cravens daughter and her friend saw him and said the thought he was really cute, he mentioned it in a documentary.
Glenn's room with the blood coming out of it, was done in the same room as Tina's. Its an upside down room.
