Robert Englund, who played Freddy Krueger, was one of my sister’s best friends in college. So I have known him since I was 10 years old and he is one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. This movie was an incredible stroke of luck for him, because he made a whole career out of playing this character, and even directed some of the films. And since he was nearly unrecognizable (until he actually appeared with his own face in one of the films), it really didn’t affect him getting any other roles. By the way, this is off-topic but Toni, you looked very pretty tonight, I loved your makeup. You always look nice, but that lipstick is a great color on you!
I do not think Toni understands the nature of dreams. In a dream, if you were to put on shoes they would be trout - I mean actual fish - and they would talk to you as you walked. You would be fully conscious this was happening and it would make perfect sense.

Hot Take Fact: The scene where Freddy is set on fire, chases Nancy to the top of the stairs, falls back down, and starts back up again, was all shot in one take, with several cameras, and was the most elaborate fire scene ever filmed up to that time. Stuntman Anthony Cecere won best stunt of the year for the scene. Blade Enthusiast Fact: The idea behind the glove was a practical one on Wes Craven's part, as he wanted to give the character a unique weapon, but also something that could be made cheaply and wouldn't be difficult to use or transport. At the time he was studying primal fears embedded in the subconscious of people of all cultures, and discovered that one of those fears is attack by animal claws. Around the same time, he saw his cat unsheathe its claws, and the two concepts merged, although in the original script the blades were fishing knives, not steak knives, as in the finished film.
There's a saying.....'The House that Freddy Built.' It refers to New Line Cinema as a company......They banked on A Nightmare on Elm Street being a successful film.......And it was a HUGE hit in 1984.....and built the foundation of New Line Cinema as a major movie making company in hollywood....
Some military watches have their face on the inside of the wrist. This is done for a few reasons: It makes the watch more discreet and harder to spot in combat situations. It allows soldiers to check the time without having to move their wrist and potentially give away their position. It can also reduce glare and reflections that could alert the enemy to their presence. Helps reduce the possibility of damage to the watch face, during combat situations.
The best phrase of the movie was Honey can we please rewind the movie. Nightmare on Elm Street made a T.V. series called Freddy's Nightmares which the 1st two episodes explains the reason why Freddy haunts the dreams of the kids of Elm Street.
Toni deserves a break. How about some fantasy and Romance that lead to HEA. “Lady hawk”, “Miracles”, “Crocodile Dundee”, “Made in Heaven”, “Electric Dreams”, “Mannequin”, “Oscar”, “Soap”, “Delirious”. There are famous actors in all these movies.
@@popculturallychallenged the "big 4" would be Jason, Freddy, Michael and I am unsure who they're referring to as the 4th. I suppose it's subjective. Personally I'd go with Pinhead, but they could be talking about Leatherface, or maybe even Chucky? I dunno.
Ok history lesson Scream wasn't just a comedy it was a satire of all slasher films because around the end of the 80s going into the 90s the slasher genre was just dying down because well everyone caught on what the formula was in a slasher movie created generic dumb teens or characters have them get killed off by a masked figure until the heroine aka final girl faces off against the killer and destroys and defeats him, so some writers like Kevin Williamson who wrote the movie scream figured out instead of just making a scary slasher genre let's just make fun of the genre since everyone knows going in what they are in for, also Wes craven directed scream he didn't write it.
Lol Toni. Can u control your dreams? I have SOME control over choices but that’s mainly I realize I’m dreaming & wake myself up. I’ve yet to be able to change/add clothing or shoes in a dream🤭. If u can make your subconscious put on shoes in your dreams, u’re even better than I thought u were😉 but the rest of us…zero control. Maybe be less mad at Nancy for dreaming barefoot? I’m jk-I adore u!😃
@@popculturallychallenged It was a no-budget movie. Wes Craven had to borrow and beg for everything. At one point the crew was going to walk off the set because they hadn't been paid, so he convinced them to say on with IOU's and a promise of a share of the profits. Fortunately for them, New Line Cinema was forever after known as the "house that Freddy built." "Halloween" was very similar. John Carpenter had just barely enough money to cover the cost of the film and a couple of cameras. It's amazing what you can do when you have to be creative instead of using SFX as a crutch.
Free point, don't be afraid of Freddy, Your All Set. I love how I had this on at the brewery this past Friday and saw some good reactions there as well lol.
IMHO the second movie, I didn't care for. Might have seen it twice. The other movies more than 5 times 3,4,and 5 are good solid movies. A New Nightmare is my 2nd favorite nightmare, and I believe 6th in the series.
Nightmare On Elm Street is a really good movie but when Wes Craven wrote the movie he had a happy ending but Robert Shay wanted to have a sequel so he pushed for the ending that we have for the movie.
Aw, poor Toni! I feel for u, mama. I know u don’t do horror so Oct must be a literal nightmare for u. If it helps any - AT ALL - u look FABULOUS?! Lol I can’t wait to watch, but please know I’m sorry for Toni anyway?!😘
Technically there are 6 movies part 7 is kinda like a spin off. Freddy vs Jason is really good too but you have to go through Friday the 13th franchise before watching it. A Nightmare On Elm Street Remake was very disappointing bad CGI effects and a bad movie overall.
Hello guys, i wanted to say that this is a true classic horror movie, it's different from Friday the 13th or even Halloween, but i am glad that you both enjoyed it, it's done by wes craven who did scream like you guy's said and i believe he also did the 3rd one and also wes craven new nightmare in 1994 ten years after worth a look. Thanks very much, hope you will continue to enjoy the movies . Halloween 1978 and Christine are good Stephen king movies too. All of the best ❤😎👍👍
Yes, there's Halloween 1 from 1978 then there's many sequel movies . The remakes start from 2007 and up to at least 2018 . Thanks very much, hope you enjoy them. Cool. 👍😎🎃
Hello, i just wanted to say that Halloween 2 is a direct continuation from 1981 from Halloween 1978. And also that Halloween 3 is it's own stand alone movie in the franchise 1982. It's actually very good in it's own right , and then from Halloween 4 it carries on from the second movie, which is quite good. I really hope you guy's continue to enjoy the movies. Great reaction channel. Love the jaws reaction the most so far, anyways all of the best to you both. Thanks very much 🎃🎃❤❤😎😎👍👍
Hello Toni and David. Hope you've been having a good day/evening. This movie was inspired by true events about Hmong refugees during the Vietnam War who were having disturbing nightmares and died in their sleep. Johnny Depp was a musician before this part, Wes Cravens daughter who had a crush on him asked her dad to put him in the movie. I didn't hear it in the reaction but Nancy says to Glenn God I look 20, Heather Lankencamp was 20. Your wife is such a mom, about the shoes lol Kids I don't want you going outside in your dreams without shoes on, there could be broken glass. Great reaction, a beautiful couple .
The ending is confusing because wes craven wanted a happy ending but in horror movies there is no such thing so he was ordered to change the ending by the producers. That ending was there compromise
@@popculturallychallenged part 3 which is a continuation of the story might help explain it more. 2 did it's own thing before it went back to the heart of the story
I think your reading too much into the end. It’s just a cheesy 80,s movie and it just wanted to give you one more scare before it ended. Plenty of plot holes. That being said still love this movie.
If you two decide to continue doing this franchise, I'd recommend skipping part 2. I'm a Nightmare on Elm Srreet fan and saw all the films in the theater when they came out, and I know lots of Nightmare fans as well, and they all agree part 2 is probably the worse film in the franchise. But part 3, "Dream Warriors," is considered one of the very best in the franchise.
Same title played by Jackie Earl Hailey. He did an ok job but the movie was just blah and just didn't cut it. FUN FACT: The guy who plays Freddy in the remake actually went along with Johnny Depp to audition for the role of "Glen" in the original but Johnny Depp won the part instead. Crazy huh?
Though this IS disturbing, its just more teenagers. Same exact movie as every other high school/campground/neighborhood/nightmare obligatory screech movie. Your reactions will be great, to another terrible "film". ✌️🎬🙄
We're glad we've finally seen these. They've been part of pop culture for so long that it's nice to finally see what everyone has been talking about for so many years! 😃
@popculturallychallenged You've got a point there! Glad you made it through that treacherous part of the "learning curve". Now...On to better and brighter movie experiences. Oh, and BTW...If you have time to squeeze one more edit in before next weekend, "Practical Magic" (Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Aiden Quinn) is Halloween appropriate and an absolutely lovely film. One that will surely be a definite favorite of Toni's, and maybe even David's, forever. And...it's a "sweet" film that is still a great piece of work. 🤔 I noticed, for the first time, another reactor used it today. Great #'s. ✌️ 🎬🧙😉
Horror movies have never been our thing. That's the whole point of this channel, to fill our pop culture knowledge gaps. Thanks for joining us on our journey! 😀
@@popculturallychallenged Yes that is correct, this was basically his movie introduction into cinema with nightmare, he was Nancy's (the main character) boyfriend Glenn who was supposed to stay awake and watch her in her room but temporarily fell asleep he was a teenager in this.
Dreams don't make much sense which is why you never know what will happen in these movies! The first is probably the best, plus it gave us johnny Depp!! Thanks for facing your fears Toni, that's actually a good brave thing to do 🙂
@@jamesnorthup7717 I have not seen this in like 35 years or more. I knew Johnny Depp was in it but I somehow forgot. I kept looking at Glen and thinking, is that Depp?
A popular theory is the entire movie is essentially a dream which explains the ending. The third movie which is a direct continuation brings back Nancy and her father who were the only survivors
Dokken: Dream Warriors. Freddy is in the music video. From Elm Street Three. I wear my watch like that while I am running. The stop watch. Warm milk, a few times a week sometimes. Freddy can't die yet, hence the franchise. Toni looks cute today.
I understood that Nancy had already fallen asleep from the moment she answered the phone and Freddy's tongue came out from the phone. She was in a double dream; then she dreamed that she fell asleep and brought Freddy to the real world, but in reality she only woke up from the second dream, and only brought Freddy to the first dream, which she thought was the real world. There she dreamed that her father and the police entered her house and saved her, and that she then defeated Freddy, but it was all within the first dream, and she continued dreaming that her friends were alive. I assume that her mother did not die when Nancy dreamed that she was burned with Freddy, but that her mother, who had also fallen asleep due to drinking alcohol, also dreamed the same thing as Nancy, they shared the same dream of going out to the porch of the house, where The mother said goodbye to Nancy and she left with her friends. That's where Freddy kills Nancy's mother by dragging her through the little window of the door. Gleen, for his part, had his nightmare where Freddy killed him.
Obviously Nancy didn’t die though but that’s a legitimate theory and it makes sense cause they were all tied into the same story like when glen was a lookout when rod was killed they were in the same dream.
Think about it. If you lived a sheltered life, how would you know at the time? Not a huge fan of this franchise but it was ok. Here mostly for Toney's screams. LOL.
The thing that separates Freddy from other movie slashers is the dream. He's not just a character that happens to be in the setting of a dream, he _is_ the dream, so it's like his victims have stumbled into hell and are trying to escape. Their parents are horrifyingly indifferent and powerless, their friends stupid and unreliable, and even the discovery of internal strength against the dream only takes them deeper into it.
Basically the end scene was a requirement from New Line Cinema. They wanted the door left open for a sequel. Wes Craven didn't want to do that but was forced into it. The whole movie was one big nightmare of Nancy's. There were clues through the whole film that it was all a dream of Nancy's. Freddy was never real, her friends never died. You ever have a dream that you think is real until something so bizarre happens in it that makes you question whether or not you're awake or asleep? Glen's death pointed to that because there was no earthly explanation for how he died. When Nancy saw her mother sink into the bed (when she was supposed to be awake) was the big clue that woke her up to it all. She remembered what Glen said, if you make a monster in your dreams you turn your back on it and it wastes energy and disappears.
@@popculturallychallenged I like scary, but gorey movies. You should check out Signs with Mel Gibson. Lots of suspense but no gore. Same director as The Sixth Sense.
What a nice reaction. ✌🏻🩷 I love this movie and the series overall. Watched this movie hundreds and hundreds of times. Having Freddy appear in dreams, gives them much more freedom to do outlandish kills without it being unbelievable. To funny about the shoes though! Dreams are often so illogical that many of these things, are stuff that many recognize from their oen dreams. Hope you continue reacting to more classic slashers 🫶🏼🩷 Happy Halloween
The ending is confusing because the studio forced Wes Craven to change the ending so they could make more movies. This was supposed to be a one and done film. Thats part of the reason Wes did not direct any of the sequels until number 7 Wes Cravens new Nightmare.
Wes Craven had another ending but New Line Cinema let him change it cause a sequel was in planing, so this ending is supposed to be more confusing. So only part 3 shows what really happened at the end of part 1, part 2 only reproduces the happenings of part 1 at some point.
I had a Casio Marlin as a kid in the 80's but one of the budget ones. I remember there were some fancy digital watches but they were way out of my reach back then. 🙂
When Wes Craven wrote this, he never thought sequel. New line fought Wes on the ending, there's more then five endings. Wes wrote this one, he did direct the third one with some input on the screenplay. He also wrote and directed A New Nightmare, I believe came out in 94. Just before Scream, which is based on a killer in Florida around that time. Was a collage campus spree from memory.
The other Nightmare on Elm Street movies are pretty good! The reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street wasn't good to me! You need to do a reaction to American Haunting it has Sissy Spacek and Donald Sutherland it's good!

And...it's a "sweet" film that is still a great piece of work. 🤔 I noticed, for the first time, another reactor used it today. Great #'s. ✌️ 🎬🧙😉
You two don't know about Wes Craven. Terrible.
Horror movies have never been our thing. That's the whole point of this channel, to fill our pop culture knowledge gaps. Thanks for joining us on our journey! 😀
Do either of you know who Johnny Depp is???
I think so.... Pirates of the Caribbean, right? - Toni 🤓
@@popculturallychallenged Yes that is correct, this was basically his movie introduction into cinema with nightmare, he was Nancy's (the main character) boyfriend Glenn who was supposed to stay awake and watch her in her room but temporarily fell asleep he was a teenager in this.
This is one of my favorite reactions of yours because I love how Toni is eyeing all the details about the dreams. It's so great 👍
Thank you so much!!
My all time favorite horror film, im 41 and this will always stand the test of time, Wes Craven is a legend
I'm 51 and this movie scared the shit out of me at 12
Yeah, 44 here. Was not fun
Not me. But still a classic.
I'm 51 and was pretty impressed with this one! 😃 -David
I have a top #10 best horror movie list of the 1970s. Would you like to see it?@@popculturallychallenged
Dreams don't make much sense which is why you never know what will happen in these movies! The first is probably the best, plus it gave us johnny Depp!! Thanks for facing your fears Toni, that's actually a good brave thing to do 🙂
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
There are other stars here. Lin Shyne, Robert England and John Saxon.
@@mikerodgers7620 granted, but he's clearly the most well known! Plus some reactors don't even recognize him that young, so it's funny to me..
Back in 1984 we didn't either. John Saxon was the only well-known star here.@@jamesnorthup7717
@@jamesnorthup7717 I have not seen this in like 35 years or more. I knew Johnny Depp was in it but I somehow forgot. I kept looking at Glen and thinking, is that Depp?
A popular theory is the entire movie is essentially a dream which explains the ending. The third movie which is a direct continuation brings back Nancy and her father who were the only survivors
Dokken: Dream Warriors. Freddy is in the music video. From Elm Street Three.
I wear my watch like that while I am running. The stop watch.
Warm milk, a few times a week sometimes.
Freddy can't die yet, hence the franchise.
Toni looks cute today.
I understood that Nancy had already fallen asleep from the moment she answered the phone and Freddy's tongue came out from the phone. She was in a double dream; then she dreamed that she fell asleep and brought Freddy to the real world, but in reality she only woke up from the second dream, and only brought Freddy to the first dream, which she thought was the real world. There she dreamed that her father and the police entered her house and saved her, and that she then defeated Freddy, but it was all within the first dream, and she continued dreaming that her friends were alive. I assume that her mother did not die when Nancy dreamed that she was burned with Freddy, but that her mother, who had also fallen asleep due to drinking alcohol, also dreamed the same thing as Nancy, they shared the same dream of going out to the porch of the house, where The mother said goodbye to Nancy and she left with her friends. That's where Freddy kills Nancy's mother by dragging her through the little window of the door. Gleen, for his part, had his nightmare where Freddy killed him.
Obviously Nancy didn’t die though but that’s a legitimate theory and it makes sense cause they were all tied into the same story like when glen was a lookout when rod was killed they were in the same dream.
That does make sense... -Toni 😊
Think about it. If you lived a sheltered life, how would you know at the time? Not a huge fan of this franchise but it was ok. Here mostly for Toney's screams. LOL.
Great point! Thanks for joining us! 😀
The thing that separates Freddy from other movie slashers is the dream. He's not just a character that happens to be in the setting of a dream, he _is_ the dream, so it's like his victims have stumbled into hell and are trying to escape. Their parents are horrifyingly indifferent and powerless, their friends stupid and unreliable, and even the discovery of internal strength against the dream only takes them deeper into it.
Very well said. - Toni 😊
"Why is she smoking and drinking?"
Hey, it was the 80's!
My Uncle Hand Me, @11yrs!

Ooookkaayy
🥾🥾 - Toni 😳
That was so much fun watching Toni jump out of her skin!😂
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Basically the end scene was a requirement from New Line Cinema. They wanted the door left open for a sequel. Wes Craven didn't want to do that but was forced into it. The whole movie was one big nightmare of Nancy's. There were clues through the whole film that it was all a dream of Nancy's. Freddy was never real, her friends never died. You ever have a dream that you think is real until something so bizarre happens in it that makes you question whether or not you're awake or asleep? Glen's death pointed to that because there was no earthly explanation for how he died. When Nancy saw her mother sink into the bed (when she was supposed to be awake) was the big clue that woke her up to it all. She remembered what Glen said, if you make a monster in your dreams you turn your back on it and it wastes energy and disappears.
Just think going to bed with the knowledge that this is inspired by a true story
(He Dies)
No way.... I will not think about that, I will not think about that, I will not think about that. - Toni 🫣
Did you realize that Glen was played by Johnny Depp?
yes, yes we did... 😊 - Toni
@@popculturallychallenged I like scary, but gorey movies. You should check out Signs with Mel Gibson. Lots of suspense but no gore. Same director as The Sixth Sense.
No way she started crying 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Innit 😂😂😂😂
Yep, she did! 😂
Nightmare On Elm Street 3 & 4 have even better practical effects than this one if you continue this franchise later.
We're thinking about continuing. Not sure yet. 🙂
I was late and it was tissue time. I didn't see that coming. Jumping maybe. Blankets flying. Not tissues.
: )
Leave it to Toni to surprise everyone! 😃
Didn’t you recognize her boyfriend???? A Very young Johnny Depp (pirates of the Caribbean)!
Glenn!!
Yep! He hasn't changed much! I'd love to know his secret! 😃
Most miilitary personnel wear watches facing inward so the face doesn't reflect light. Kinda important if you're trying to be sneaky.
Good point!
When you comment on their irrational behaviour, you gotta keep in mind that they’re dreaming. A lot of things don’t make sense when we’re dreaming.
Good point!
What a nice reaction. ✌🏻🩷
I love this movie and the series overall. Watched this movie hundreds and hundreds of times. Having Freddy appear in dreams, gives them much more freedom to do outlandish kills without it being unbelievable. To funny about the shoes though! Dreams are often so illogical that many of these things, are stuff that many recognize from their oen dreams. Hope you continue reacting to more classic slashers 🫶🏼🩷 Happy Halloween
Thank you! We're planning on releasing Halloween next week! 😃
I am Team Toni. I find camping to be the creepiest activity. I will not do it under any circumstances.
Thank you!
they get really silly. 3&4 are decent. i would suggest freddy vs jason and the remake a nightmare on elm street
Thanks!
😂😂😂 you make laugh jumping all the time he's lucky to have you such a beautiful lady!
Thank you!
I’m going to go to sleep tonight thinking about wearing shoes and see what happens😂
I've thought about shoes every night since watching but haven't needed them or at least I don't think so since I can't remember my dreams. - Toni 😂
come on now, have u ever focused on shoes in your dreams lol. nice reaction tho👍
I never have but apparently I need to start! 😂 -David
The ending is confusing because the studio forced Wes Craven to change the ending so they could make more movies. This was supposed to be a one and done film. Thats part of the reason Wes did not direct any of the sequels until number 7 Wes Cravens new Nightmare.
That's good to know! I thought he was involved with all of them! Thanks for the info!
Did you recognize a very young Johnny Depp as Glen?
Yep! He was so young!
Johnny Depp first role, glen
He hasn't changed much... -Toni 🙂
Wes Craven had another ending but New Line Cinema let him change it cause a sequel was in planing, so this ending is supposed to be more confusing. So only part 3 shows what really happened at the end of part 1, part 2 only reproduces the happenings of part 1 at some point.
We may check out more someday. 😃
Nancy comes back
So Nancy returns in the second movie? - Toni 🤓
@@popculturallychallenged the 3rd movie. The 2nd was a weird movie but some like it.
Coco for Nov 1...Dia de los muertos....day of the dead....trust me ...a breather for Toni
We've both seen Coco actually. Our daughters were really into that one for a while! 😃
Going to be interesting 🔥🔥
Hope you enjoy the reaction! 😀
Yes, there were "talking watches" in the 80s..but they were expensive.
I had a Casio Marlin as a kid in the 80's but one of the budget ones. I remember there were some fancy digital watches but they were way out of my reach back then. 🙂
When Wes Craven wrote this, he never thought sequel. New line fought Wes on the ending, there's more then five endings. Wes wrote this one, he did direct the third one with some input on the screenplay. He also wrote and directed A New Nightmare, I believe came out in 94. Just before Scream, which is based on a killer in Florida around that time. Was a collage campus spree from memory.
Interesting... Thank you. - Toni 😊
The other Nightmare on Elm Street movies are pretty good! The reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street wasn't good to me! You need to do a reaction to American Haunting it has Sissy Spacek and Donald Sutherland it's good!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Freddy Kruger was my favorite movie monster!!
He was scary! 👍
Big Nightmare fan here....always appreciate anyone who reacts to them....Thanks!
Thank you!!
