The Infinifilm release fixes this mistake by digitally darkening the room when she wakes up, until Nancy's mother enters the room and turns it on.
The only "Nightmare on Elm Street" film where Freddy does not have stripes on the sleeves of his infamous sweater. According to Heather Langenkamp , the melting staircase scene was shot using pancake mix. Wes Craven , however, said it was oatmeal and glue.
The fact track on the DVD says it was Bisquick pancake mix. The scene was directed by Robert Shaye , who was on-set pressuring for the film to wrap, and Craven told Shaye he could direct it as it was based on a dream Shaye himself had once had. In another interview, Heather Langenkamp added that mushroom soup was also one of the ingredients in the staircase mixture.
In an interview with Heather Langenkamp , she mentioned that Ronee Blakley really did slap her during the kitchen scene. However, if you watch the scene carefully, you can see that she must be referring to an alternate take. It's obvious that the slap seen in the take used in the film is artificial. This was the second movie produced by New Line Cinema. However, it was given a very limited theatrical release, and when it performed poorly, and received bad reviews, it was released straight to video.
As such, this movie was New Line Cinema's first genuine mainstream cinematic venture. Wes Craven had helped Sean S. Cunningham by working on a few shots for Friday the 13th In turn, Cunningham directed a few shots near the end of the production of this movie, when several units were working at once. Heather Langenkamp 's final audition for the role of Nancy Thompson took place on Friday the 13th, January Wes Craven admitted to feeling rather aggravated when a few scenes from the movie had to be trimmed so that the American film censors would allow the movie to be released.
Charlie Sheen was interested in the role of Glen, but according to producer Robert Shaye , he wanted more money than the production could afford.
In various interviews, Robert Englund stated that Freddy's walk and mannerisms were inspired by his costume and looking at himself in the mirror. When he put on the fedora, he thought of old gangster movies and decided to give Freddy a swagger akin to famous gangster movie actor, James Cagney. Because the full glove with real metal knives as opposed to the stunt glove with fake knives for safety was so heavy, he found himself unintentionally dropping his right shoulder due to the weight.
So, he equated the stance with a gunslinger who has his pistol and holster on his hip. As for the unusual way Freddy walks, he studied his posture and derived the sideways movement from a surfer standing sideways on a surfboard.
In the opening dream, Tina sees and hears lambs. This is a play on the phrase "Like a lamb to the slaughter," a phrase originating in the Bible. It means an innocent and helpless creatures that is unknowingly in danger, an apt description of Tina and her friends. Another source for the film is a short film made by students of Wes Craven at Clarkson University. The film parodied contemporary horror movies, and was filmed along Elm Street in Potsdam, New York the town in the movie was named Madstop--Potsdam spelled backwards.
The film's trailer features an alternate voice for Freddy Krueger that remained unused in the final cut in the film. A popular myth surrounding this film is that David Warner was originally slated to play Freddy Krueger and that make-up tests were done, but Warner had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. This has been proven false by the filmmakers and by Warner himself in the recent book "Never Sleep Again". Many extended scenes, which were cut from the work print, appeared on the Anchor Bay Special Edition release.
Charles Bernstein had not yet composed the score for the film, so these scenes include pre-existing temporary music taken from other sources. Some of the music heard is from Final Exam by composer Gary S. Scott later went on to score many episodes of the Elm Street spin-off television series Freddy's Nightmares This film along with the rest of the sequels, sans New Nightmare and A Nightmare on Elm Street , take place within the same universe as the Friday the 13th films.
Amanda Wyss grew nervous over the prospect of filming her death scene as the set was being jerked about by the film crew. In the scene where Nancy falls asleep in class, the student starts to qoute a line from Hamlet, "O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
In Nightmare on Elm Street, the front door of the house is blue and the convertible is red. In Part 2, the color of the front door is red and the convertible is blue. In one draft of the script, Tina's age is listed as 15, even though Amanda Wyss was 23 years old. The film takes place in Nancy looks in the mirror and says, "My God, I look 20 years old".
Heather Langenkamp was in fact 20 years old at the time of this film's release. Most of these "teen" actors are actually in their 20s. Amanda Wyss and Johnny Depp are both well into their 20s at this point; Jsu Garcia is 19, not 16 like his character is supposed to be. Hollywood has long history of using young adults to play high school kids, both because they don't need work permits and don't have to worry about having on-set tutors and shorter hours for minors; and also because people in their 20s tend to be more physically attractive than high school kids and can more easily attain that "matinee idol" look that audiences and studio execs love.
The line about "looking 20" is also obviously meant to be ironic. Twenty is not old, even if year-old character Nancy Thompson thinks it is. The s pop song "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright sealed the story for Wes Craven, giving him not only an artistic setting to "jump off" but a synthesizer riff from Elm Street soundtrack as well.
During production, screenwriter Leslie Bohem pitched the idea of a Freddy baby to the studio. His pitch involved telling a pregnant executive to imagine Freddy's claws tearing out of your body.
Unsurprisingly, his idea wasn't used. According to the nurse's name tag, Nancy's sleep is monitored at the "University School of Medicine".
The basis of the film was inspired by the phenomenon Asian Death Syndrome, where people died in the middle of nightmares. It is also known as Brugada syndrome. The scene where Glen Johnny Depp lies on the couch and can hear Tina Amanda Wyss and Rod Jsu Garcia having sex was based on an incident from Wes Craven 's own life, where he lay on a couch listening to a couple having sex next door. This scene is disturbing when you realize Tina is only 15! If this was filmed today, the character would have been 17 or The house on which it was based is owned by a fraternity, and is listed at the address 20 U.
Lin Shaye, the sister of producer Robert Shaye, appears in a small role of a teacher. She has appeared in several horror films, specifically the Insidious series. She has starred in almost every New Line horror film in various roles, garnering her the title of Scream Queen. During the filming of a chase sequence between Freddy and Nancy, Heather Langenkamp injured her leg which bled as a result.
The actress quickly took herself to hospital and was back at work only hours later. Tina mentions to Nancy that a big earthquake may be coming, which "foreshadows" New Nightmare , in which there are several earthquakes. Ronee Blakley played a country superstar in Nashville several years before playing Nancy's mother. Connie Britton , who played the same role though the character's name was altered in A Nightmare on Elm Street , later went to play a country superstar in the unrelated television series Nashville Was shown uncut on cinema in Sweden at the time, a very unique decision due to the moral panic regarding violent films.
Amanda Wyss wasn't too keen on having real insects crawling around her feet during the scene when Tina appears inside her own body bag. The poster on Glen's bedroom door when his mother enters is of the UK band Madness , used on the cover for their single "Grey Day".
During production, Wes Craven stayed in a small apartment that belonged to Wim Wenders , the former husband of Ronee Blakley.
The car that Nancy, Glen, Tina, and Rod drive away in at the end is a Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, with the red and green pattern hardtop. Sometimes after finishing on the film for the day, Robert Englund would tear off all of his makeup. There are no scenes with Freddy Krueger during the daytime. Although the hall monitor Nancy encounters is wearing Freddy's sweater, has Freddy's finger knives, and has Robert Englund's voice, and is actually Freddy just taking the guise of one of Nancy's classmates , this scene does take place during the day.
Also when Marge Thompson gets yanked through the peephole in the doorway at the ending by Freddy's demonic hand, it is also daytime. So although full-formed Freddy as personified by Robert Englund is not photographed in daylight in this movie, that is true; different visages and versions of him due do appear in daylight.
There is a scene in the trailer, not shown in the film, which explains why Donald Thompson believes Rod Lane killed Tina Gray. Toward the end of shooting, the set was visited by a few of the financial backers. This caused tension for Robert Shaye as he bore the brunt of the backers constantly reminding him about the film's tight deadline as they thought the filming wasn't progressing enough.
When checking the backyard, Glen calls for a cat, saying, "Chow, chow, chow. This movie bears a stark contrast to its slasher brethren like Halloween and Friday the 13th which always portray a group of teenagers being terrorized while adults are weirdly absent. In this movie, the parents are very much part of the story, which makes more sense and adds a layer of intrigue.
Tina's name is mentioned 39 times throughout the course of the film. Robert Englund's most high-profile role before he landed the career-defining gig of iconic Freddy Krueger was playing Willie, one of the reptilian extra-terrestrials in V, NBC's blockbuster miniseries about an alien invasion.
The movie Scream has a lot of similarities with the film. You have the boyfriend going in and out of the heroine's window. You have the male friend who is seemingly falsely accused of murder.
You have the heroine whose close friend gets murdered at the beginning. You have the friends coming over to protect the heroine with a big party. You have the shock twist at the ending where it turns out the mother of the heroine was sort of a trigger for the horror in the first place, and then the mother getting killed.
You have the close friend or relative who's a sheriff: it's Nancy's dad in this and it's Deputy Dewey in Scream. You have the final girl who's being targeted throughout the movie, fending off attack after attack from the villain, who then turns the tables at the ending.
You have shared pop cultural references which sort of boost the story in the first place. You also have the villain who is harassing the final girl with smarmy come-ons and threats, much like Ghostface unlike Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, who are both decidedly mute; they are the strong silent type vs. Wizard magazine rated Freddy Krueger the 14th-greatest villain of all time.
Robert England was actually starring in V, NBCs sci-fi series as Willie, the comic-relief lizard-alien, when this movie came out. The scene where Nancy "scuba dives" into the dreamworld while Glen sits on the sidelines as her safety net, watching her as she sleeps, ready to wake her up when she starts screaming, would serve as a prototype for similar scenes in movies like Inception and Insidious.
In many ways, this can be seen as a sequel to Craven's earlier horror hit from the '70s, Last House on the Left. In that movie, John and Paige Collingwood use vigilante justice to kill off a vicious criminal Krug, who victimized their daughter Marie. This could be several years later and Krug could be back as Krueger, a demon who is terrorizing their second daughter, and maybe the trauma from the first movie's events caused the Collingwoods to change their names and even divorce. In a way, the two movies fit together.
Craven sort of ripped off the central nightmare conceit from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which worked so well for that movie: that going to sleep kills you. He's also obviously influenced by a classic Twilight Zone episode "A Penchance to Dream", which has crazed psychiatric patient Edward Hall believing there's a demon in his dreams, a cat-woman named Maya, who's pursuing him and trying to kill him in his sleep.
His doctor, Dr. Rathman, also believes that his patient is bound to have a fatal heart attack in his dreams if these dreams persist. All of this obviously influenced Craven here. All of the death scenes have been copied by Bollywood horror films. In fact, Bollywood ripped off this film with Mahakaal. Edward was very good and misunderstood, more like a Frankenstein's monster character, the X-Men, or The Incredible Hulk TV series, as opposed to evil Freddy who had finger knives.
Krug played by David Hess , the vicious, rapist-serial killer in Wes Craven's first horror movie, Last House on the Left, oozed with smarminess and one-liners, and liked to taunt and torture his victims before killing them, became a very similar type villain, but now in ghost form, in Nightmare on Elm Street. Again, we have a similar bad guy with a big mouth in that movie as well, one who haunts and terrorizes his victims before killing them, also with a similar last name, Krueger an extension of Krug.
The characters are so similar and their story arcs so similar - both were done in by vindictive parents who circumvented the law - you could almost view Nightmare on Elm Street as a sequel to Last House on The Left, which makes sense since these were two of Craven's earliest films. An early concept art depicted Freddy wearing a long trenchcoat inspired by homeless man Wes Craven once saw as a child, through a window that scared him.
Freddy wouldn't wear a trenchcoat in the series until New Nightmare 10 years later. Freddy's sweater usually has 8 or 9 stripes across his body. However in the original, he has 11 stripes and none on his sleeves. This was because he was originally supposed to wear a sleeveless sweater-vest in early makeup tests but David B.
Miller didn't like the look and but the vest over a red long-sleeve sweater. Kane Hodder auditioned to play Freddy Krueger. He would of course would later play Jason Voorhees in the "Friday the 13th" series and would briefly play Freddy's arm and did his laugh at the end of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday that sets up Freddy vs.
Jason Nancy mostly calls her mother, Marge, "Mother" and she calls her father, Donald, "Daddy". This shows that Nancy has a more distant relationship with her mother and a closer relationship with her father. He is the brother of actress Lin Shaye. Film debut of Chris Tashima. Although Stephen King claims to have been inspired by real-life clown serial killer John Wayne Gacy as well as his own demonic clown nightmares as a child during the development of the Pennywise character, it's clear he was also influenced by Freddy Krueger and a Nightmare on Elm Street as well.
This makes sense, since Nightmare on Elm Street was an explosive box office hit in the horror community in , and then Stephen King's It came out in Website Mr. Skin posted the top 10 horror franchises with the most female nude scenes in October Elm Street had the fewest with only eight. In the scene where Nancy has been up for days and looks into a mirror saying, "God I look twenty years old.
Heather Lagenkamp really was twenty years old when she did this movie. Cameo Robert Shaye : The voice of film's producer and owner of New Line Cinema, can be heard twice in the film, as the newsreader reporting on Tina's death, and as the station announcer saying "It is now twelve mid, and this is station KRGR leaving the air.
Director Trademark Wes Craven : [The title plays into Craven's suburban horror theme] The film is a play on pictures of suburban s wholesomeness with an undercurrent of evil, as in The Last House on the Left Wes Craven : [the main character experiences traumatizing nightmares that reflect reality or affect reality] In this film, Nancy Thompson and her friends experience horrifying nightmares about an otherworldly and malevolent figure named Fred Krueger.
Other Craven films such as The Serpent and the Rainbow , Vampire in Brooklyn , and Cursed , respectively, also explore the theme of nightmares being linked to reality through trauma. Spoilers The trivia items below may give away important plot points. Freddy Krueger has under seven minutes of screentime. Over gallons of fake blood were used during filming. 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.
