After New Line Cinema ensured they would be solvent for some time with A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, they did actually take the time to make the third installment more than just a simple cash grab. For one thing, they spent a couple years working on it, and more importantly got Wes Craven back on as writer and producer. The result? Something that cranked the concept up to 11.

"Can I ask you something?"
"Certainly!"
"WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK?!"
Freddy correctly predicted what discussions on the Internet would be like.

RIP Wes Craven

Real life explanation behind the situation regarding Nancy and the ending of the original Nightmare on Elms Street. Wes Craven's original ending had the entire movie be revealed to be a nightmare inside Nancy's head. Everyone survived, and Freddy was more a metaphorical villain than what he eventually turned into.

The studio executives decided that they rather end the first movie with a jump scare/bad ending because those were popular at the time. So Wes Craven was forced to reshoot the ending of the original Nightmare on Elms Street and we got this ending.

The whole "basterd son of a hundred maniacs" thing is a metaphor only one them is Freddy's genetic father

The way he just calls that lady "Dr. Bitch" cracks me up.

We're the dream warriors. Don't wanna dream no more. So maybe tonight. Maybe tonight you'll be gone

The end of the first one isnt Nancy's dream, its her moms, which is why she says that her mom died in her sleep

@CalebBelyeu 10 years ago

My opinion... 3 was the best Nightmare alongside the original.

They explain it was her mom's dream so she didn't die but her mom did

You know there is likely a reason why she didn't fight back against Krueger. It's entirely possible that seeing all those drugs caused a PTSD moment to her time as a junkie, and it caused her to freeze in fear.

What would Freddy do if your "dream power" is immortality?

I love this channel. The amount of effort Decker puts in the production of his videos is amazing. Everything from the sketches to the jokes he makes are comedy gold, hope he gets the subscribers he deserves soon.

The Nancy thing could be explained if you think of the ending of NOES as a regular nightmare that Nancy had. I mean, she spent days (weeks?) being terrorized and watching her friends drop like flies. She 'killed' Freddy, but she would still have the capacity to have nightmares, so it would make sense to have a dream where all her friends lived, but have it turn into a nightmare. After all that, she probably had tons of nightmares and night terrors, lending some fuel to the 'Nancy went crazy' bit from NOES 2, and would explain why Nancy takes dream suppressants now even though she would know that Freddy is 'gone'.

Movie turns 35 today!
Still one of the franchises best
I'm very happy Wes Craven came back to produce and write the script as well as Heather Langenkamp as Nancy
This was my first introduction to Patricia Arquette
The movie also lead to many memorable dream sequences and the very first of Freddy Kruger's one liners turning people's worst fears against them
Plus this also commented on the terrible increase of teen suicides epidemic during the late 80's
Made the concept of lucid dreaming fascinating too and I like the setting being a psychiatric ward full of teens on watch being very fleshed out
