“One, Two, Freddy’s coming for you,

Seven, Eight, gonna stay up late,
Nine, Ten, never sleep again.”

buat penggemar film horror jaman dulu, pasti tau itu lagu dari film apa.
dibuat 7 seri, akhirnya seri ke-8 kolaborasi dengan Friday the 13th.

yuk kita liat apa aja sih judul2nya.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 1

In the early 1980’s, a psychopath named Freddy Krueger – known as the Springwood Slasher – murdered several children with a glove outfitted with straight razor blades attached to the fingers. When a foolish decision by a judge sets him free, Krueger is burned alive in the boiler room where he worked by an angry mob of the parents whose children he terrorized & murdered. Years after his death, the children whose parents were responsible for Krueger’s death – including Nancy Thompson, daughter of the police officer who arrested Krueger – are experiencing terrifying nightmares involving a burned man wearing a glove with razor blades on the fingers. The ghost of Freddy Krueger is haunting their dreams, and when Nancy’s best friend Tina dies in her sleep violently during a dream confrontation with Krueger, Nancy realizes she must find a way to stop the evil psychopath’s reign of terror – or never sleep again…

di film ini juga menjadi debut Johnny Depp sebagai Glenn Lantz.
cast lainnya adalah Heather Langenkamp sebagai Nancy Thompson, dan Robert Englund sebagai Fred Krueger.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* Director Wes Craven claims to have named Freddy Krueger after a kid who bullied him in school and to have based his appearance on a disfigured hobo who scared him as a youth.

* The movie Nancy watches to stay awake is The Evil Dead (1981). She isn’t watching a random clip, but rather the theatrical trailer.

* There is a ripped poster of The Evil Dead (1981).

* Wes Craven’s original concept for Freddy Krueger was considerably more gruesome, with teeth showing through the flesh over the jaw, pus running from the sores, and a part of the skull showing through the head. Make-up artist David B. Miller argued that an actor couldn’t be convincingly made up that way and a puppet would be hard to film and wouldn’t blend well with live actors, so these ideas were eventually abandoned.

* Johnny Depp accompanied friend Jackie Earle Haley to the auditions, where he was spotted by director Wes Craven, who asked him if he’d like to read for the part.

* Wes Craven cast Joseph Whipp, who plays the inept sidekick of John Saxon’s Lt. Thompson in this film, as the sheriff who endures David Arquette’s inept Deputy Dewey in Scream (1996/I).

* In the end scene, the top to the convertible came down faster and harder than expected. The expression from the actors is real.

* Nancy’s bathtub was constructed over a tank built into the floor of the set with a cutout bathtub sealed down to it. Actress Heather Langenkamp spent 12 hours in it during filming, accompanied at least some of the time by special effects man Jim Doyle who was wearing the Freddy glove.

* Wes Craven wrote the script and presented it in 1981, but no one wanted it. He said that “It just flew around” until New Line Cinema picked it up.

* This was the first real movie by New Line Cinema. Before that, they were just a distribution company for college campuses.

* This movie was almost never made. About halfway through filming, New Line lost its deal with the distribution company. As a direct result, they couldn’t pay the cast or crew for two whole weeks until they found another distribution company. They didn’t lose one crew member.

* Freddy Kruger was designed by Wes Craven to be the typical “silent” serial killer such as Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers. But in the sequels Freddy developed a cheeky persona that enabled him to be the black humored villain

* The original glove was also used in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985) but then the glove went missing. The original glove was used in 1986 for Evil Dead II (1987) (according to the DVD.)

* New Line Cinema was saved from bankruptcy by the success of the film, and was jokingly nicknamed “the house that Freddy built”.

* In her room after almost getting killed in the tub, Nancy looks at herself in a mirror and says, “Oh God, I look 20 years old.” Many viewers find this humorous, thinking that Heather Langenkamp was 20 years old at the time of the movie. However, on the DVD audio commentary, she’s quoted as saying, “I was 18 or I was 19. I can’t remember.”

* Over 500 gallons of fake blood were used during the making of the film.

* For the famous blood geyser sequence, the film makers used the same revolving room set that was used for Tina’s death. They put the set so that it was upside down and attached the camera so that it looked like the room was right side up, then they poured gallons of red water into the room. (The normal movie blood wasn’t able to create the right effect for the geyser.)

* The only times you see the words “Elm Street” are during the opening and closing credits. The words “Elm Street” are not mentioned at all during the movie.

* When Freddy is chasing Tina, Freddy’s long arms were marrionetted.

* Johnny Depp’s first film

* The sequence was shot by turning the entire room upside-down on a gyro set and sending the blood down through the bed. Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund, in costume, were on hand to watch the filming. The room itself was to be turned as the blood flowed, but it was turned in the wrong direction, and blood began to squirt prematurely. A door to the room opened, and the fake blood gushed onto exposed wires, creating a real hazard for the crew. Fortunately, Englund pulled Langenkamp away to safety before anything serious would have happened, and the sequence was somehow salvaged. This incident is described by Englund in a booklet in the commemorative boxed set.

* In a deleted scene featured on the Laser Disc and VHS from Anchor Bay we learn that Nancy and many of her friends from the neighborhood weren’t always only children, but had a brother or sister before they were killed by Freddy (during the scene in the basement just before Nancy’s mother reveals she has Freddy’s glove.)

* Wes Craven had helped Sean S. Cunningham by working on a few shots for Friday the 13th (1980), in turn, near the end of the production of this movie, Cunningham directed a few shots when several units were working at once.

* Heather Langenkamp beat over 200 actresses for the role of Nancy Thompson, some of the other actresses who auditioned for the role of Nancy were Jennifer Grey, Demi Moore, Courteney Cox and Tracey Gold.

* When Freddy Krueger is chasing Nancy and she runs up the stairs only to find that it’s all “goo,” what she steps in is actually unknown. According to the DVD commentary, Wes Craven claims “It was just oatmeal,” Jacques Haitkin says, “I think it was pancake batter,” and Heather Langenkamp says, “It was something rubbery.” A definitive answer does not yet exist.

* In “Just the Ten of Us” (1988), Heather Langenkamp makes reference to a rusty knife stuck in a cutting board “looking like something from ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street.’”

* When Nancy’s dreams are “examined”, when her hair turns white, the nurse is played by Wes Craven’s wife, Mimi Craven.

* Wes Craven claimed to have drawn inspiration for this movie from 3 separate incidents involving young Cambodians, survivors of Pol Pot’s genocidal “purges,” all of whom died while apparently in the throes of a horrific nightmare. The story goes that first these young, otherwise healthy people would have a horrible nightmare, then refuse to sleep for as long as possible; when they finally fell asleep from sheer exhaustion they awoke with screaming and writhing, then died from a heart attack. In the last incident, the young man used a variety methods to try and stay awake that were incorporated into the film, including a hidden coffee pot. Some of the dialog between Nancy and her parents is based on this young man’s attempts to convince his unbelieving parents that going to sleep would kill him.

* Wes Craven choose the colors red and green for Freddy’s sweater because he read that those two colors are the hardest for the eye to process together.

* In the original Script, Freddy’s sweater was red and yellow. In an interview for Hollywoodgothique.com, Craven notes this was an homage to Plastic Man, who, as with Krueger, could change shape; the audience was clued in to Plastic Man’s presence by the fact that whenever he assumed an object’s form, the object would always be red with a yellow strip. Therefore, whenever Freddy changed form, he would be recognizable due to color pattern.

* An omen that Johnny Depp’s character is about to die occurs as he is laying in bed listening to his radio. The broadcaster announces, “It’s midnight and you’re listening to station KRGR.” KRGR can be interpreted as meaning “Krueger.”

* The vision of Freddy came from a childhood memory of Wes Craven, When he was 10 yrs old he looked out the window of the apartment he lived in and a drunk man dressed similar to Freddy was looking directly at him and continued to stay there looking at the window for several minutes. This scared him so, later on he decided this would be the look for Freddy.

* John F. Kennedy was killed while traveling on Elm Street in Dallas

* While struggling to conceptualize what his villain would use for a weapon, Wes Craven saw his house cat unsheathe his retractile claws. This, of course, gave him the inspiration for the knifed fingers. Special-effects supervisor Jim Doyle then designed the actual weapons.

* During the blood geyser scene, the spinning room turned incorrectly and cause a premature flood of “blood.” According to the DVD commentary, the people pouring the “blood” were shocked when the wires were hit with the water and the room began to spin out of control. Wes Craven remarks that it was like the Ferris Wheel from hell. The power on the set went out and Craven said they were all in the dark and covered in blood.

* One of the main reasons Johnny Depp was chosen was because the producer’s daughter thought he was “dreamy.”

* On the DVD audio commentary, Wes Craven says he was told that this was the first film to use a breakaway mirror.

* This is the only film in the series in which the killer is referred to as “Fred” Kruger. In all of the sequels, he’s called “Freddie”.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge

17-year old Jesse Walsh and his family have moved into Nancy Thompson’s old house on Elm Street. No sooner are they moved in than Jesse begins to have horrific nightmares – ones that feature a burned man in a dirty red & green sweater, with knives on the fingers of his right hand. His neighbor & new sweetheart, Lisa, discovers the truth behind Fred Krueger and his horrible murder spree. Freddy vows to take over Jesse’s body to continue his vile crimes against the Elm Street residents. Soon, people close to Jesse start dying violently – his ex-Marine coach, one of his classmates, many others at a pool party Lisa throws. Will Lisa’s love for Jesse be enough to help him overpower the demonic presence inside him?

seharusnya Mark Patton jadi Glenn Lantz di Nightmare 1, tapi gagal. baru di Nightmare 2 ini dia jadi Jesse Walsh maen bareng Robert Englund yg lagi2 berperan sebagai Freddy Krueger.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* Special-effects man Rick Lazzarini created a “demonic parakeet” puppet for the scene in which the Walsh’s pet parakeet flies around and explodes. His puppet was not used because they wanted a regular-looking bird.

* This is the only film in the series not to use Charles Bernstein’s original theme, or a variation of it.

* In the opening sequence, the bus driver is Robert Englund without the heavy “Freddy Krueger” make-up and his signature clothing.

* Cameo: [Robert Shaye] the S&M bartender.

* Brad Pitt, John Stamos and Christian Slater all auditioned for the role of Jesse.

* The song “Touch Me,” which is being played in Jesse’s room, is an early (and slightly different) version of Cathy Dennis’s #2 hit from the early 1990s.

* Nightmare series creator Wes Craven refused to work on this film because he never wanted or intended A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) to become an ongoing franchise (and even wanted the first film to have a happy ending), and also because he didn’t like the idea of Freddy manipulating the protagonist into committing the murders.

* The running time for this film is 87 minutes, Freddy appears in just 13 of them.

* JoAnn Willette is one of the girls seated in the back of the school bus driven by Freddy at the beginning of the film. She would later go on to star in the ABC sitcom “Just the Ten of Us” (1988), a program which not only featured numerous references to the “Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise, but also co-starred Heather Langenkamp (from the first, third, and seventh films) and Brooke Theiss (from the fourth film).

* The last film in the original “Nightmare” franchise in which Freddy’s house is the focal point of Freddy’s terror. In the rest of the series, Freddy’s terror revolves generally around Elm Street and the town of Springwood with the house occasionally making an appearance. In the hybrid film, “Freddy vs. Jason”, there was a reference in the film that Lori lived in Freddy’s house but the reference was cut from the theatrical release (but appears in the Deleted Scenes section of the DVD).

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

Picking up where the original Nightmare left off, Nancy has grown up and become a psychiatrist specializing in dream therapy. She meets a group of children at a local hospital facing Freddy Krueger, the same demon she once encountered in her sleep. One of them is Kristen, who has the power to draw other people into her dreams. Working with a male doctor assigned to the case, Nancy helps the kids realize their special abilities within the nightmare world. When Freddy captures one of her charges, she leads a rescue attempt into Krueger’s domain, in hopes of putting his spirit to rest once and for all.

di seri ke-3 ini Heather Langenkamp balik lagi sebagai Nancy Thompson, dan Robert Englund sebagai Freddy Krueger, ditambah Patricia Arquette sebagai Kristen Parker.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* When the clay puppet face turns into Freddy’s, special-effects man Doug Beswick used stop-motion animation. Filming began with a clay Freddy face that was made plainer in each frame. The result was then run backwards, and that is what appears in the final cut of the film.

* For the scene where Freddy kills Jennifer, his line in the script was “This is it Jennifer, your big break on TV!” Robert Englund said this line for the first two takes, but on the third take changed it to “Welcome to Prime Time, bitch!” Director Chuck Russell couldn’t decide which version to use, so he edited the two together.

* The scene in which Neil Gordon (Craig Wasson) is thrown into the grave and partially buried by the skeleton of Freddy is a tribute to Body Double (1984), in which Wasson’s character is similarly buried alive.

* The movie that on TV that Jennifer watches before she dies is Critters (1986).

* Sally Kellerman was originally in the script, as the guest on the Dick Cavett show scene in which Jennifer dies.

* When Taryn is first seen in the hallway she’s wearing a Dokken shirt. Dokken wrote and performed “Dream Warriors” for this film.

* The original “Freddy Snake” unintentionally came out looking too phallic, so it was painted very dark green to overcome the “pinkish hue.”

* The bar where Nancy and Dr. Gordon meet Nancy’s Father is called “Little Nemo’s.” “Little Nemo in Slumberland” is the name of a comic strip by Winsor McCay about the adventures of a child in the land of dreams.

* The Freddy glove that was stolen from the set of this film was found in another movie: it was hanging on the wall of the cellar in Evil Dead II (1987), released the same year. It was part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. See The Hills Have Eyes (1977), The Evil Dead (1981), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Evil Dead II (1987) for more.

* Patricia Arquette’s first movie.

* Robert Englund wrote a treatment for this movie. It wasn’t used.

* The shirt Taryn is wearing in the beginning has the cover art of Dokken’s 1984 album, ‘Tooth And Nail’. ‘Tooth And Nail’ contains ‘Into The Fire’, a track that can be heard on the radio in some versions of the film.

* The track “Quiet Cool” by Jay Ferguson from the New Line film Quiet Cool (1986), replaced Dokken’s “Into The Fire” on the original VHS, Beta and Laserdisc releases.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

Following up the previous Nightmare film, dream demon Freddy Krueger is resurrected from his apparent demise, and rapidly tracks down and kills the remainder of the Elm Street kids. However, Kristen (who can draw others into her dreams) wills her special ability to her friend Alice. Alice soon realizes that Freddy is taking advantage of that unknown power to pull a new group of children into his foul domain.

Kali ini Kristen Parker diperankan oleh Tuesday Knight, bermain bersama Lisa Wilcox sebagai Alice Johnson. Freddy Krueger tetap diperankan oleh Robert Englund.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* When Alice goes into the theater, there is a poster for Reefer Madness II: The True Story (1985), New Line Cinema’s first success, as well as a poster for Hairspray (1988).

* The two gravestones visible behind Kristen Parker’s and Roland Kincaid’s are for Donald & Nancy Thompson, characters from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987).

* The sandcastle form of the Elm Street House is visible on freeze-frame before it explodes.

* The name of the diner where Alice works is called the “Crave Inn”, a reference to series creator Wes Craven.

* Also on the background wall of the theatre entrance, there is a poster of Renny Harlin’s previous movie Prison (1988).

* Director Cameo: [Renny Harlin] a student in a classroom.

* Not only did actor Tuesday Knight co-star in the film, she performed the theme song.

* The highest-grossing entry in the Elm Street series (not counting Freddy vs. Jason (2003). It earned $49 million in the US.

* In a brief classroom scene, Alice and fellow students are lectured on the philosophy on dreams. The teacher giving the lecture is played by series producer and New Line Cinema CEO Robert Shaye.

* When Dan and Kirsten go to the hospital, there is an announcement on the PA requesting a Dr. Shaye, a reference to Robert Shaye, producer of the series and CEO of New Line Cinema.

* Wes Craven and Bruce Wagner came upon with a concept for this film that involved time travel through dreams. However, producers Robert Shaye and Sara Risher felt that this was too high a concept for a Nightmare On Elm Street sequel and didn’t think it fit the formula that Craven created with the first film.

* Ellie Cornell auditioned for the role of Alice.

* Tibor Takács was offered to direct, but didn’t took the job because the shooting would have started in couple of weeks.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

Alice, having survived the previous installment of the Nightmare series, finds the deadly dreams of Freddy Krueger starting once again. This time, the taunting murderer is striking through the sleeping mind of Alice’s unborn child. His intention is to be “born again” into the real world. The only one who can stop Freddy is his dead mother, but can Alice free her spirit in time to save her own son?

Dalam seri ke-5 ini, Lisa Wilcox kembali berperan sebagai Alice Johnson, dengan Robert Englund sebagai Freddy Krueger.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* The bike that attacks Dan is a Yamaha V-Max 1200.

* The “Freddybike” has a license plate that can be seen for a few seconds and says “FREDDY”. It’s a California tag.

* When Alice wakes up from her nightmare in the asylum, and Robert Englund appears beside her in bed and pins her down, originally he said, “There’s no such thing as safe sex.” The line was excised from the film.

* The graduation sequence was cut down significantly to speed up the pacing of the film. As a result, there are several continuity errors. Among the cut footage was Dan’s graduation speech, dialogue between Greta and Racine, a rap between Yvonne, Alice, and Greta, additional dialogue about parents and future plans, and a scene in which Alice’s father gives her a camera she had been saving up for as a graduation present before she went to Paris (if you watch closely, you can see Alice hand her father a camera before they go to take the group picture).

* “School’s out, Krueger” was a replacement line when a minor wasn’t permitted to say “Fuck you, Krueger”.

* Virtually nothing of the screenplay by John Skipp and Craig Spector made it into the film (according to Skipp, only the phrase “It’s a boy” was retained), while only around half of Leslie Bohem’s screenplay was kept. William Wisher Jr. and David J. Schow did further rewrites, and the final screenplay was put together just days before shooting by Michael De Luca.

* This is one the only “A Nightmare On Elm Street” movie where the famous song is changed. Original: 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. Edited: One, two, Freddy’s coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab your crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, he’s back again…

* Hopkins was given 4 weeks to shot and 4 more weeks to edit the film. This mean that he had to shot on one stage while they dressed the other, so they could shot almost continually. After he made it, the studio was impressed and gave Hopkins Predator 2

* When Alice and Mark look through the pile of newspapers, for a moment, the camera is set on an article regarding Amanda Krueger’s death. In this article, Robert Shaye (Producer) is quoted as he says: “She was a victim of the evil within us all. I hope she will know peace in the life hereafter”.

* Both horror author Stephen King and comic book writer Frank Miller were offered the job of writing and directing this movie.

* During the sequence in which the nun (Amanda) is raped by the criminally insane, Robert Englund is wandering around in the background without his Freddy makeup–including one shot in which the camera lingers on him for a few seconds.

* Lisa Wilcox’s name appears on the opening credits, but not on the ending credits.

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare

In part six of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, dream monster Freddy Krueger has finally killed all the children of his hometown, and seeks to escape its confines to hunt fresh prey. To this end, he recruits the aid of his (previously unmentioned) daughter. However, she discovers the demonic origin of her father’s powers and meets Dad head-on in a final showdown (originally presented in 3-D).

Lucu juga liat Breckin Meyer masi kecil bener di film ini, berperan jadi Spencer. Bareng Lisa Zane sebagai Dr. Maggie Burroughs dan Robert Englund sebagai Freddy Krueger.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* Cameo: [Johnny Depp] in a TV commercial. Depp played a character in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) who was killed when he fell asleep watching TV.

* Cameo: [Robert Shaye] [producer] selling bus tickets in a booth.

* Cameo: [Roseanne and Tom Arnold] the childless couple.

* In the last portion of the movie, from the point at which the lead female puts on the special glasses, to the time at which she takes them off, was originally filmed entirely in 3-D. The effect was removed for video release. In the UK video release the 3D effect was included in its entirety, and included 3 pairs of special 3D glasses with “freddy’s dead” in red writing on the side in the nightmare on elm street writing font

* On 12 September 1991 a day before the U.S. release of the movie, Los Angeles declared it Freddy Krueger Day.

* Peter Jackson was originally hired to write the screenplay for this film. He wrote a draft, but it wasn’t used.

* Breckin Meyer’s first theatrical role.

* When shown theatrically audience members were given one pair of red cardboard 3-D glasses with movie taglines printed on it. The inside arms had adhesives for attaching to standard glasses. There was also an advertisement for House Party 2 (1991) printed on the outside of one arm.

* When released to home video the 3-D sequence was shown in standard format. However the Laserdisc version had the full 3-D sequence along with the regular version. 2 pairs of 3-D glasses were included with the disc. The glasses were similar to the ones given out at the theatres, minus the adverts, adhesives and taglines. They were also printed on a thinner cardstock. This was the only way to view the 3-D sequence prior to the DVD release.

* A 16-year-old Jacob Johnson, the son that was born to Alice Johnson in the previous installment, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989), was a major character in the original script. In this first draft of the film, Alice, now in her thirties, was killed by Freddy. Taryn, Joey, and Kincaid from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) also returned as the “Dream Police.” In the script, Taryn was the “Blade Cop,” Joey was the “Sound Cop,” and Kincaid was the “Power Cop.” Director Rachel Talalay has stated that she greatly disliked original script and that the rewritten version “saved the day.”

* Cameo: [Alice Cooper] Freddy’s abusive pimp father.

* Rachel Talalay is the only female to direct a film in the Nightmare on Elm Street series.

* Said to take place “10 years from now”. The official NOES website’s timeline opted for 1999 in place of 2001, despite the release date of the film in 1991, taking ten years from now to refer to the conclusion of A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989). This actually impacts the placement of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), since Freddy Krueger’s claw emerged from the portal to Hell at the end of that film to seize Jason’s hockey mask. This indicates that the defeat of Freddy in his film preceded the events of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993).

* “John Doe” comes to think he may be Freddy’s son. As noted earlier, this film takes place 10 years in the future circa 1999. The NOES official website’s time line notes that Freddy Krueger’s death at the hands of the Springwood parents took place in 1968 (based on the fact that in ‘The Dream Child’, Freddy’s mother is said to have died soon after Freddy’s trial). This film notes that Freddy’s child was taken away from him in 1966 (see the chalkboard scene at Springwood High School). Therefore, John Doe would have to be in his thirties to be Freddy’s son — which he obviously was not.

* During the scene at Springwood High School, several newspaper clippings and other references to Freddy victims appear. Also, written on the chalkboard is “1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki attempts fail”.

Wes Craven’s New Nightmare

In 1984, horror director Wes Craven created “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” It was acclaimed as one of the scariest movies ever made and made unknowns like Robert Englund, Johnny Depp, and Heather Langenkamp huge stars. Ten years later, Heather is living happily with her husband, Chase (David Newsom), and her son, Dylan (Miko Hughes). But her life has now been turned upside down because she is being stalked by a person who sounds like Nightmare villain Freddy Krueger, Chase has just been killed in a car accident after he accidentally fell asleep, Dylan refuses to sleep any more, and New Line Cinema has just offered her a part in “the ultimate Nightmare.” But some other strange things have been happening, including earthquakes and Craven being tight-lipped about the script. The ultimate truth is that Freddy Krueger is actually an ancient demon breaking out into our world, but in order to do that, he must go through Heather. And he knows he can get out by harming those near her…

Dalam film ke-7 ini, Heather Langenkamp berperan sebagai Heather Langenkamp; Nancy Thompson, dan Robert Englund sebagai Robert Englund; Freddy Krueger. Pemeran Dylan, anak dari Heather Langenkamp diperankan oleh Miko Hughes, yang sudah kita kenal debutnya di Pet Sematary dan sebagai anak autis di Mercury Rising.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* All of the earthquake sequences in the film were actually filmed one month prior to the Los Angeles quake of ‘94. The real quake struck only 2 weeks before the end of filming. Subsequently, a unit was sent out to film drive-by footage of actual quake damaged areas of the city before the end of filming. The cast and crew believed that the earthquake scenes that were filmed before the real quake struck were perhaps a bit overdone, but when viewed after the real quake hit, all were frightened by the realism of it.

* The “bio-engineered” hand/glove that Freddy uses in this film (as opposed to the glove used in the prior films) is actually derived from the artwork of the theatrical poster and video box covers of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

* Lin Shaye, who appears as a nurse, also played the teacher in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

* Heather is asked if she has a pass to which she replies, “Screw your pass.” This is taken directly from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

* The clothes worn by ‘Heather Langenkamp (I)’ and John Saxon towards the end of the film are the exact same clothes they wore in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

* Wes Craven’s daughter Jessica Craven appears as a nurse.

* The large rocket ship used in the park scene went into actor Miko Hughes’s backyard after his father bought it.

* Director Wes Craven had intended to ask Johnny Depp to make an appearance as himself in the funeral scene. Craven never worked up the courage to ask him, but after the film’s release, they ran into each other. Craven asked Depp if he would have made an appearance in the movie and Depp said that he would have, and that Craven should have asked him.

* The events in this film revolve around ‘Heather Langenkamp (I)’ having a stalker. In real life she did have a stalker, and Wes Craven got her permission to weave it into the story.

* Miko Hughes’ character has a father that works in special effects. In real life Miko Hughes’ father worked in special effects in movies.

* A picture of ‘Heather Langenkamp (I)’ that was on John Saxon’s desk in the original movie can be seen on a shelf in Wes Craven’s house.

* There was a scene in the script that depicted a Robert Englund Freddy nightmare. The nightmare had Robert stuck in a spider-like web and the new “DEMON” Freddy was a giant spider. This was dropped because it didn’t fit with the film’s overall tone.

* Before making New Nightmare, Wes Craven watched all of the Elm Street films. By the time he was finished, he claims that he could not follow the storyline at all.

* The book “The Nightmare Never Ends” by Andy Mangels can be seen on Robert Shaye’s desk.

Freddy vs. Jason

Two of the most remembered eighties slasher film icons finally clash together on the big screen in a film fans have long been awaiting. Trapped in Hell when the authorities of Springwood manage to erase all evidence of his existence (and thus the fear that gives him his power), nightmare spirit Freddy Krueger comes across the soul of the equally infamous Camp Crystal Lake mad slasher, Jason Voorhees. Taking the guise of Jason’s mother, Freddy resurrects him and commands him to start terrorizing Springwood, hoping to instill enough fear that the name Freddy Krueger gets out again so that the ensuing panic makes Freddy strong enough to return a seventh time. The plan works, but Freddy soon discovers that Jason, true to his nature in the past, will not stop killing, and is taking each of his victims. Determined to retake his position as the most feared killer in Springwood, Freddy devises a plan to sedate Jason into unconsciousness in order to battle him to the death. In the meantime, a small band of survivors who learn what’s happening make their own efforts to not only ensure Jason’s victory, but to return him to Camp Crystal Lake.

Robert Englund sebagai Freddy Krueger. Ken Kirzinger sebagai Jason Voorhees.

Trivia from imdb.com:
* Veteran Friday the 13th actor Kane Hodder who played the part of Jason in the last four Friday the 13th movies offered to reprise his role as Jason Voorhees in this film but was turned down because director Ronny Yu as well as New Line had their own image of what they wanted the Jason character to look like and believed Jason should be gigantically big, and because it was “Freddy Vs Jason,” Yu always thought that in this comic book style that he was going to exploit, Jason would be larger than life, almost basketball player like. So Yu wanted an actor who would tower over Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) so he could create a David and Goliath/Popeye and Brutus/King Kong and Godzilla/Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago sort of visual imagery between Freddy and Jason. And Yu felt Hodder was too short for the role and wanted a new actor to play Jason. Also, Yu thought Kane Hodder’s eyes were too intense and wanted the Jason character to have more sympathetic, soulful eyes that could reflect pain and loss because Yu wanted Jason to come off as a sad, pathetic, Phantom of the Opera type character. This was the call sheet New Line use for actors trying out for the part of Jason: “20’s to late 30’s . 6′3″ – 6′5″. Male, Caucasian. If you’ve ever participated in the WWE or your chest resembles a bulked up Arnold Schwarzenegger, you need not apply. Jason is not buff, Jason does not weight train. Jason is just BIG. Not fat. Big. We’re looking for some classical training here, folks. The Jason that we’re going to portray in this film isn’t just a machete wielding slasher. He has a lot of EMOTION. What we really need is an actor and or stunt man with poetic eyes, who is good at expressing himself with the slightest of movements. Because, believe it or not, Jason DOES have a sensitive side.” Veteran Canadian stunt man Ken Kirzinger, ended up winning the role of Jason Voorhees, but the decision to not have Hodder return disappointed some fans of the genre, while other Friday The 13th fans were quite impressed with Ken Kirzinger’s performance as Jason Voorhees and thought he surpassed Kane Hodder.

* This was the first Freddy movie not filmed in the United States, and the filmmakers had to search for a new house that would resemble the famous Freddy Krueger/Elm Street house from the first seven “Nightmare” films.

* The two stunt performers who doubled for Monica Keena and Jason Ritter melted their wigs because of high heat of fire on the set.

* According to Robert Englund his Freddy makeup was so thick that he didn’t really know how hot it was from the fires during the filming. When he got in to have his makeup removed, it had literally bonded itself to the side of his face. Freddy’s boiler room in the movie was not a built set; it was actually an old boiler room redressed by the crew.

* According to writer Mark Swift, producer Robert Shaye seemed a bit more interested in the Freddy side of things which made a huge elimination in their screenplay (and in the film) from the Crystal Lake/Jason side of things.

* Standing six feet, five inches (1.96 meters) tall, Ken Kirzinger is the tallest actor to date to play Jason Voorhees.

* Several endings were considered for the film: – Originally shot was a scene in which Lori and Will begin to have sex for the first time. However, Will starts acting like a maniac and eventually sprouts a Freddy Krueger claw, then proceeds to slash at his girlfriend. This was cut due to miserable test scores, in which the audience thought the acting was terrible and asked, “Does this mean Freddy won? Where’s Jason? Is this a dream? Is Will turning evil and is now some sort of Son-of-Freddy?” – Another ending that was considered had Freddy and Jason battling to the death on the dock. After the explosion, they end up in the fiery lake, and then something strange starts to happen. The water begins to move, churning… and the lake begins to drain. Within the water, there is a hole that has opened at the bottom of the lake bed, glowing red. Freddy tries to swim away, but Jason puts a death lock on his ankle, and they’re both dragged down. The next day, Crystal Lake is completely dry. And Lori is reunited with her father. Then they walk down into the dry lake. Dr. Campbell sees Freddy’s claw on the ground and he picks it up, vowing to destroy it for good. Then a red and green striped arm bursts through the earth, grabs Dr. Campbell’s leg and pulls him down. With one leg buried in the ground, he screams for Lori, but is yanked again, his other leg breaking against his chest at an impossible angle. Then he’s gone. Lori claws at the dirt for him, screaming, and then there is a scene that takes place somewhere very dark. Freddy puts his claw back on his hand. He sees Jason near him, machete gleaming. They go at each other…but then, chains shoot out, slicing into both of them. They’re separated, struggling to go at each other…when out from the darkness comes Pinhead and he says “Now, what seems to be the problem?” However, New Line didn’t like the idea because they didn’t like the fact that they’d have to buy the rights to use the character, and they thought Pinhead was too low rent. – Then there was a similar ending considered in hell that involved a shot of something sitting high atop a stone throne, only eyes and the tips of two horns visible in the darkness. Below it, Freddy and Jason battle in a Gladiator style pit, but that idea was also dropped. – There was also another idea of a giant red hand coming out of Crystal Lake at the end of the film, grabbing both Freddy and Jason in one enormous palm, and yanking them both down into hell, but that too was dumped. In the script’s final draft, the epilogue ended with Freddy and Jason battling in a dark pit, surrounded by the eyes of a thousand dark demons and a million tortured souls. The writers wanted to suggest that the fight would continue for all eternity, but that idea was also dropped.

* The following scenes were cut from the film: – An alternate opening scene which has Billy, a camper, telling Heather, a counselor, that he had a bad dream. He asks her to stay with him until he can fall asleep again but she refuses and leaves. She goes skinny dipping but hears something and gets scared so she runs back to the cabin. The door is locked however so she asks Billy to open it for her but he gives her the finger.(Part of this scene can be seen in the theatrical cut.) – Trey telling Gibb that the sheets are probably filthy so she should just pull back the comforter and they’ll lie on top of it. – A scene at the institution where a guard shines a flashlight into a patients eyes to see if he’ll react. – Lori’s father picking her up from the police station. – Lori scratching paint off of her front door with her keys in a dream sequence. – Gibb at school yelling “Stop staring at me!” in the hallway. This is followed by Marc and Will arriving at the school looking for Lori. – Principal Shaye trying to convince Marc and Will to return to the institution. – Lori, Kia and Gibb leaving for the party. – Lori, Kia and Gibb arriving at the party followed by scenes of the party itself. – A broken bodied Trey walking towards Gibb in a dream sequence. – Marc, in a dream sequence, sees his brother commit suicide on his computer monitor. – Marc throwing up eels. – Lori, Kia, Freeburg, Linderman, Will and the cop splitting up into two groups to look for the Hypnocil. – Linderman apologizing to Kia for what he said to her at the party. – Will telling Lori that if she promises to come back he promises to never leave her again. – A bit more of the Freddy and Jason fight inside the burning cabin. Lori utters the line “Freddy vs. Jason. Place your bets.”(Part of this scene can be seen in the trailer and tv spots.) – Kia telling Linderman that he better be there when she gets back so she can kick his ass in case he tells anyone that she kissed him. She then kisses him. – An alternate ending which has Will and Lori in bed together. Will then starts to choke Lori and his right hand turns into Freddy’s glove.

* Betsy Palmer, who played Jason’s mother in previous Friday The 13th movies, was asked to reprise her role of Mrs. Pamela Voorhees, but turned it down due to the low salary offered her.

* Katharine Isabelle was originally cast as Jenny, while Lauren Lee Smith was cast as Gibb. In the rewrite process, Jenny was eliminated, and all of her lines were given to Gibb. Eventually, Katharine Isabelle took over the part of Gibb, and Lauren Lee Smith was no longer in the film.

* When the original script proved to be too long, the characters of Tommy, Jarvis and Kelly were eliminated. Jarvis was to have been played Jason Bateman, and Jenny by Katharine Isabelle. The producers felt Isabelle had the makings of a scream queen with a horror-loaded resume, so her part was then switched with Lauren Lee Smith. So Katherine Isabelle became Gibb and Lauren Lee Smith became Jenny, who unfortunately was no longer in the script.

* Brad Renfro was originally cast as Will, but had to be replaced less than a week before shooting began. Jason Ritter, who actually got the part, had initially tested but they hadn’t felt he was right for the role.

* During test and advance screenings, the ending was not added to the film. Instead, the following text appeared: “On August 15th, 2003 see the final sixty seconds and see who has survived…and what is left of them.” This is a direct reference to the tagline for the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), which is “Who will survive and what will be left of them?”

* The call letters of the news station shown on the TV in the hospital are KRGR, obviously a reference to Freddy Krueger. It is also the name of the radio station that Glenn (Johnny Depp) is listening to right before he dies in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

* The goat seen in Blake’s early nightmare sequence is a reference to Tina’s nightmare involving a goat in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

* In the beginning of the movie, as Freddy Krueger gives his monologue there are clips from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989), Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991).

* Freddy’s “how sweet, dark meat” line is a variation on the line “how sweet, fresh meat” in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988).

* Jason’s regeneration at the start of the film is very similar to Freddy Krueger’s regeneration in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988).

* Westin Hills is Freddy’s birthplace and was featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987).

* The kids go to Westin Hills to look for the experimental drug Hypnocil. Hypnocil was the drug that Neil Gordon (Craig Wasson) discovered was being taken by Nancy Thompson (’Heather Langenkamp (I)’) when they first met in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). Nancy was also the one who suggested that Westin Hills prescribe Hypnocil to the patients.

* During the montage of past Elm Street films Alice can be heard saying “Die, motherfucker!” before impaling Freddy with a pool skimmer. When this scene was first shown in A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989), her original line was “Where is she?” while the line in the original draft of the script was, “Why don’t you just SHUT UP!”

* This is the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie to be shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

* Ronny Yu originally turned down the directing job because the script didn’t indicate who won. He agreed to take the job when Robert Shaye told him he could make that decision himself.

* New Line first attempted to make this film in 1987, when they tried to team up with Paramount Pictures to make it as Friday the 13th VII, but there was never an agreement made.

* Actor Kyle Labine who played Freedburg in the movie, was a teenage partygoer in Halloween: Resurrection (2002), making him the first person to appear in a Freddy, a Jason *and* a Michael Myers film.

* Cameo: [Oscar Gutiérrez] as person who jumps.

* The bag placed over Jason’s head in the Crystal Lake nightmare is a reference to the bag Jason wears in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) before he started wearing his trademark hockey mask.

* When Jason impales Frisell and Gibb is a reference to Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) where he does the exact same thing to Jeff and Sandra.

* Gibb (Katharine Isabelle) is always shown wearing a red baseball hat. This is an reference from Carrie (1976), where P.J. Soles’ character always wore a red baseball cap. Isabelle co-starred in the TV remake of Carrie (2002) (TV).

* One early version of the script called for the beginning of the film to take place in medieval times, while another called for the beginning to start out at camp crystal lake, with Jason getting arrested. Another script was to have the beginning of the film take place at the eve of the millennium.

* The way Jason looks at his hand after Freddy cuts off his fingers is a nod to Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) when Trish stabs him in the hand between his fingers. He stops what he’s doing and looks at his hand the same way.

* The scene in which Jason knocks down the two different doors at Westin Hills is a reference to Jason X (2001) where he knocks down multiple doors aboard the Grendal.

* When Jason is impaled on his own machete, Freddy uses some iron plates to push the machete in deeper. The last three plates that fly through the air form the New Line Cinema logo.

* David S. Goyer did an uncredited rewrite of the script to make it shorter. One of his contributions to the script was the combination of the two characters of Gibb and Jenny.

* While filming the scene in the fiery cabin where Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees confront each other, actor Ken Kirzinger (Jason) actually caught on fire. A stuntman for over twenty years, Kirzinger remained calm while stage hands rushed in with fire extinguishers to put him out. This incident is discussed in the DVD commentary for the film.

* During an interview before the movie’s release Ronny Yu made a confusing comment stating that the film had a “triple ending”. Initially, most believed that film had three different, separate endings and people would be able to see three different endings in theaters. Most likely one where Freddy wins, one where Jason wins, and a third where neither wins (aka “a draw”). This turned out not to be the case.

* According to director Ronny Yu one of his Hong Kong film making styles he incorporated into this movie was using different camera speeds during the fight sequences in order to get the “action impact”.

* In the first interview concerning about the film, Ken Kirzinger did the whole video interview in Jason’s costume wearing the mask, clothes and make-up, in order to make the viewers more confident in him and his loyalty to the character.

* According to director Ronny Yu the special effects team used 300 gallons of fake blood for the movie.

* Cameo: [Evangeline Lilly] a girl in the crowd at school (look for a green long-sleeved shirt).

* Ken Kirzinger had to undergo some dental work during filming, but it would have taken too much time to remove his makeup and costume and reapply them. When he arrived at the dentist’s office still dressed as Jason (without the hockey mask), people were afraid he was an escaped psychopath and almost called the police.

* Cameo: [Robert Shaye] the producer of all the “Nightmare” movies (including this one) appears as “Principal Shaye” (credited as L.E. Moko)

* Although Ken Kirzinger was chosen to play Jason, many re-shoots were made late in the production process and Ken was not available to work. The producers used their next choice for Jason, actor Douglas Tait. The most notable scene shot with Mr. Tait is the very last scene in the movie, just before the credits.

* Filming lasted 53 days.

* The 25-million dollar budget of the film was the highest in Friday the 13th series.

* The scene which featured Jason’s bed kill was originally rejected by New Line studio executives, but writers Mark Swift and Damian Shannon fought hard for filming it. They acted it out on the floor to convince director Ronny Yu. After he liked the idea, the scene was filmed and it turns out to be the biggest reaction of audience during the test screening.

* Writers Mark Swift and Damian Shannon were disturbed by the homophobic insult Kelly Rowland’s character directed at Freddy Krueger and both writers pointed out in interviews that this was not something they had written in their script.

* Body count: 24.

masih inget kan lagu jaman TK dulu tentang hujan???

“Tik Tik Tik
Bunyi hujan di atas genting
Airnya turun tidak terkira
Cobalah tengok, dahan dan ranting
Pohon dan kebun basah semua.”

sampe skr masi seneng ngajarin keponakan gw lagu itu.
membuat mereka sadar betapa hujan pun menyenangkan.

jadi inget, udah mo musim ujan lagi…
dr kamis malem ujan gede.
eeeh, tadi siang masi ujan juga.
baca berita detik.com, taunya banyak genangan air di mana2, en bikin macet.
duh, kadang2 hujan emang bikin bete sih….
apalagi kalo yg namanya banjir…

gw termasuk yg trauma saat banjir.
tapi gak bisa salahin ujan juga.
lha wong, banjir itu kan terjadi krn kelalaian diri kita sendiri juga.
lalai dalam membuang sampah di tempat yg semestinya.
itu udah bisa jadi acuan sang banjir utk nyambangin…

tapi moga2 gak akan ada banjir lagi…
sedih kalo inget jaman banjir dulu.
hiks… gak mau lagi…
makasih banget deh.
mendingan banjir duit…

kapan ya?? dreaming
