    The reverse blood fountain is extremely simple, but looks incredible. The room is set dressed upside down, everything bolted to the ceiling, etc, with a large drop tank of fake blood above. Release the tank, film the beauty, flip the footage upside down. One of my favorite horror scenes, on par with The Shining's blood elevator.

    You mentioned whoever created Freddy ... that they captured a nightmare perfectly . The character was created by the director Wes Craven . He based him on partly a dirty homeless man , he saw at night when he was a kid dressed similar to Freddy . And combined it was a story of a boy who died in his sleep from a nightmare , in Vietnam . That he read in a newspaper article .

      Yeah and he got the name Freddy from a kid that used to bully him. And the Freddy look came from a guy dressed in a hat and a long jacket. Wes was staying at a clinic or hospital or something once and he couldn't sleep because the guy used to start at him through the door. It was crazy.

I begged my dad to take me.. offering my allowance to pay for our tickets.. hes like "you sure?".. I'm like "YEAH, its like Gremlins"... so we get to the theater during Tina's first dream..I wasnt ready.. I made a Bee-line for the doors.. he grabbed me and pulled me back in.. "Oh no ya dont.. you dragged me all the way out here.. were watching this.. close your eyes if your scared." - well, we watched it.. and I wouldn't take a bath or sleep for days...but it gave me big bragging rights in the 2nd grade..

    This is my favorite horror movie of all times. Discovered it when I was 9 y.o. (which was in 1991, so 7 years after it came out) Lended to me by a friend who's father had a full room of recorded movies on video tapes.
    I had to say I'm impressed, cause I have seen it countless times, and it's only a few month ago, by watching other reactions to it, that I had a theory popping out in my head, that you litterally phrased out here on your first watch : "Is this whole movie is a Nightmare ?".
    It would actually explain a lot of things that if you think about them doesn't make sense, like the phone calls while Nancy is supposed to be awake, or the fact that Freddy isn't actually in her arms, but under her bed when she woke up from the last nightmare, or that he could have turned around the cops going through the kitchen, while still on fire, not being noticed.
    My arguments to make this theory solid are those two :
    - The movie title is "A Nightmare on Elm Street", not "Nightmares on Elm Street", like there's only one of them
    - After the introduction scene, the scene where we discover the group while Tina is talking about her nightmare is introduced by the little girls that sing Freddy's rhyme. Which is known, in the franchise, to be a sign that what you see is a dream. So if this moment supposed to be in "reality" is actually a dream, then most probably everything is.

      It was all a dream of Nancy's. There was never meant to be a sequel or a franchise to this. But the people at New Line Cinema saw the dailies and knew they had a hit on their hands. They wanted Wes Craven to tack on an ending where Freddy comes back at the end. He didn't want to do it but had no real say in it. But basically this was one big nightmare of Nancy's which means Freddy probably doesn't exist and nobody died

    Thank you for reacting to this. My favorite film villain since Dracula is right here. I love the atmosphere and score. Heather Langenkamp (Nancy Thompson) was my first crush as a teen.
    Robert Englund was fantastic as Fred Krueger. Ironically, he was previously best known as the friendly alien Willie in a series called "V". He once said he was tired of playing everyone's buddy and auditioned for the role of Fred Krueger to avoid typecasting.
    Both the death Tina Grey (first victim) and Glen (Johnny Depp) were achieved by building the set as a rotating room.
    My own interpretation of the ending goes like this: As a being who stalks through dreams, Fred Krueger is vulnerable if he is pulled into our world. Nancy was able to do this. The 'problem' as best I understand it is that when she took her boyfriend's advice, she told Fred that he was 'nothing', that everything was just a dream. In so doing, she 'put him back' into the dream world where he 'rules'. This enabled him to escape for lack of better wording, and led to the end that we were shown.

      Not sure exactly which part of the ending you don’t understand but if you’re referring to her turning her back and Freddy still winding up being a car and driving off with everyone, while also pulling a woman through a peephole… you can “blame” Bob Shaye for that… he demanded a rewrite/reworking of the ending that left open the potential for sequels… In Wes’ original vision for the story it ended with Nancy taking back the power, defeating Freddy, and basically waking up to realize “it was all a dream” if you ask me it all being a dream was an equally awful ending and I prefer how it is because we got the rest of the franchise from it. But, yeah the ending we have here is basically blatant “we’re gonna make a fortune from this…” and in Bob’s defense, New Line Cinema was on the brink of bankruptcy pre-Freddy, and is considered “the house that Freddy built.” If it weren’t for Freddy Krueger, we might not have the Hobbit movies or the LOTR trilogy(all New Line releases) so it’s weird how it works out sometimes huh? Sorry for the rambly reply but hope maybe I cleared something up, I don’t know haha.

    Yeah, the way to look at most, if not all, Elm St movies (and most horror movies from the 80's and 90's) is the story ends when the killer dies or is vanquished in the end, and the epilogue is just something fun to end the story with and maybe give a little sequel bait. And that's sequel bait saying that "the killer can come back for a another movie", not really "this is how the next movie will start".
    The epilogue scare rarely makes sense to the story, and is rarely considered canon, there are of course exceptions to this rule.

    Fun fact you missed who played the teacher where Nancy was having nightmare in class it was Lin Shaye she was in so many movies including 2001 maniacs which also with Robert englund who played Freddy
    You probably wouldn’t watch craven’s earlier works it’s more gory - The hill have eyes from 70s
    Phantasm is interesting horror franchise that most people overlooked

    Great reaction. My favourite quote from you 'you have balls, but no pants'. Whilst Halloween is my personal favourite movie of all time, i love this one too. I grew up in the 80's (i was actually born in 1980) when Freddy movies were mostly made, and first saw this aged 10 (admittedly i was 5 when i saw Halloween but, my mum thought this might be too scary for me for a few years).

    • @jonbolton3376
      @jonbolton3376 2 года назад

      Btw my mum was wrong, Halloween freaked me out more as a kid, and i loved it, along with Psycho, The Omen and dozens of of other classics i saw in the interim between 1985 and 1990 lol. I still love horror today especially slasher movies, but also love comedy and action films too.

    The second film is not great but it is one of the scarier portrayals of Freddy before he started trying to be funny.
    It's also known for its homoerotic subtext. The lead actor was gay and is considered the first male "scream queen".

      My fav fun fact is called the night.are blue door. In the first movie and New Nightmare, the front door is blue. In 3 and the 2010 remake, Freddy and Nacy say "I'm real now," and "He's real." The teory is that there is a Freddy for diff groups. Thats why even though it would be big news, the groups in 4 n' 5 havent heard of Freddy, even though they def should've. Just fun facts and theories

    Probably already explained in comments, too lazy/busy to check. If you saw something weird happening to the characters within the "real life" (awake parts of the movie from the awake characters point of view) it means the one being violently attacked was dreaming about it.
    The grey hair thing? Never seen it happen to anyone I know but in the movies yes, extreme shock can bring about premature grey/white hair

    I was more of a fan of the Friday the 13th series as a teen, but I hadn't seen the Nightmare on Elm Street movies at the time and didn't until I was an adult. Most NoES films are better than the average F13 film, but both series have good movies and bad movies.
    For NoES, the first is incredible and the 3 + 4 + 5 are each worth watching. NoES 2 is... not like the others; I don't honestly know if it's good or not, even though I've seen it multiple times. NoES 6 is awful and not worth watching. Wes Craven's New Nightmare is related and excellent.
    For F13, the first is a classic slasher with a surprise or two, but all the movies from 1 to 7 are definitely worth watching except the one that relied too much on the 3D gimmick. (But even that one is essential if you're trying to keep up with the lore.) F13 8 is... skippable. 9 is just feckin' weird. Jason X (F13 10) is divisive because it goes full-on "Leprechaun In Space". Freddy vs Jason is okay but underwhelming. F13 4, 5, and 6 are sort of a mini-trilogy within the series, and those are my favorites of the F13 movies.
    A sudden streak of grey hair seemed to be a common way to convey stress in female protagonists in 80's horror. Poltergeist does the same thing at one point (and it is VERY much worth watching).

  • @dboslice
    @dboslice 2 года назад

    Freddy is definitely the best slasher out of everybody in my opinion. Simply because he's not like everybody else and that's what make him the G.O.A.T.
    He's creative with his kills, he has an interesting backstory, and he's entertaining, sadistic, funny, and scary all at the same time. So I really hope that you react to the rest of his films because it's worth it.
    Lastly, to comment on the ending, it only turned out like that because they had some many different other endings and they didn't know where this movie was going as far as sequel. They didn't expect this movie to be popular than what it is, so the ending turned out like that to leave the possibility open to make a sequel. And they did, 6 sequels after this (7 if you count Freddy Vs. Jason). I still enjoyed the ending, other people kinda have mixed feelings about it.

Great film apart from the last like 2 mins. Wish they'd take the concept of someone dreaming in a coma for Elm Street so they can't wake up or have to figure out how to wake up from their coma while Freddy stalks them.

    I'm loving your reactions. This is my favorite horror movie. Don't bother with the remake, and honestly don't bother with the sequels, they turned Freddy into a joke of himself. Maybe 3 and 4 just because how inaginative the nightmares become, but Freddy is just not the same. Please do react to Candyman (1992) or Hellraiser (1987), two iconic and really really good horror movies.

    Heres everything as it stands in The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise 8 movies that are original. With Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger one remake an Freddy versus Jason in wich Robert Englund recames his role as Freddy Krueger. Robert Englund does not play Freddy Krueger in the remake. Thats just the movies there was a short-lived TV series Freddy's nightmares. Whare Freddy Krueger was the host kinda like Tales from the Crypt. To answer your question Wes Craven was solely responsible for the creation of Freddy Krueger. Now congratulations you're the first RUclipsr that I seen react to this movie. Who immediately picked up on Freddy Krueger being a child predator. You are also the first one to understand his motive for going after their children. Instead of going after the ones that killed him directly. I think Freddy Krueger only killed her mom because she was sleeping and it allowed him access to the Dreamworld. Basically Nancy pulled him out but he got back into the dream world by her mother sleeping. In the audio commentary for the movie the set designer or something. Had to do something to make with Dreamworld different from The Real World. So they decided fog so if there was fog in the scene dream. No fog it was real world basically they did that so they would know when they. Whore filming if it was a dream scene or a real World scene. Fun and scary fact time actress that played Nancy said they made three gloves for Freddy Krueger. One with real metal and sharp blades for cutting. One with metal but dull blades for close up shots. Then a plastic bladed one for when hes interacting with others. The scary part comes in because she would have to ask what glove he had on at the time. Because they would forget it to change out the cutting glove. So she would have to ask before every scene with him. Because they would go oops we forgot to change out the glove we should do that now. Case in point the scene in the bathtub with the glove coming out of the water that was the sharp cutting glove. Yeas it was actually equipped with 4 razor sharp blades.

      @@ShreeNation The Brightside is that it was not a issue in any of the following movies. Because they no longer made a sharp cutting glove for any other movie. So it looks like they learned from this movie that. Making a fully functional Lethal Weapon glove was a bad idea. In the bonus features for the movie someone said everyone that held that glove or used it actually cut themself.
