Grizz watches A Nightmare On Elm St (1984) for the first time! #Spooktober #ANightmareOnElmSt Shoutout to @NerdChronic for editing this reaction! Watch the full uncut reaction on Patreon: / kylekatarnchannel
Did you know Robert Englund, guy who plays Freddy, urged Mark Hamill to audition for Luke Skywalker! They were good friends and Robert took him to audition!
Has anybody mentioned yet that the doctor at the sleep clinic also voices the title character in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Because that's one of my favorite little factoids about this movie lol (Also if you haven't seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit yet I highly recommend doing a reaction to it. It's such a fun movie)
Grizzled Wizard The events of this Original Film part of the reason The New Sheriff in Freddy vs Jason who doesn't become new The New Sheriff of that town until sometime in 1999 keeps telling his Deputies 2 shut their mouths as well as keep their mouths shut about that town's residential SOB (Son of a B"tch) Boogeyman (Freddy The Bastard Son of 100 Maniacs/Springwood Slasher turned Supernatural Dream Demon Krueger) in order 2 permanently contain him & keep him that way!
I think the mom made a cup of coffee with Gin in it in the morning. And Nancy thought it was just coffee and she almost drank it but the mom stopped her.
Grizzled Wizard whatever Freddy Krueger did 2 kill Glen Lantz near the end of this Film you're probably better off not knowing based on judging from the amount of blood that literally came flying out of Glen's bed without Glen's body/corpse!
Such an iconic horror movie! Robert Englund is a legend. It’s funny seeing a young Johnny Depp but I also recognised a young Lin Shaye (Elise from the Insidious franchise) as the school teacher.
Since I'm seeing this on YT I don't know if you've noticed it, but this was Johnny Depp's first role. I suppose you've seen other movies with Johnny Depp, like _Pirates of the Carribean_ or _What's Eating Gilbert Grape_ , right? Also, just for fun, the (recorded) record for not falling asleep is 11 days. However, if you continue to stay awake for 2 days or more, you can experience symptoms similar to an acute schizophrenic episode, e.g. hallucinations, hostility, and paranoid thoughts. Which is exactly the same things that Freddy goes for in their dreams.
I remember watching this as a young kid with my older cousins, and I wanted to be "cool" like them. So I tried my best to sit through it without covering my eyes or crying. Well, I got through it, but needless to say, I barely slept that night. Or the night after, lol! I still remember one of my cousins singing softly to me... "One, two, Freddy's coming for you..." "SHUT UP!" I'd say! lmao
I had a similar experience only it was my older sister who rented it. She'd seen the 2nd one first and insisted it wouldn't scare me because the sequel was just so goofy. Of course at age 11, I was freaking terrified throughout. I thought I'd be fine to sleep when the last part showed everyone surviving but then that damn twist happens....
Great reaction! If you continue the movie series I would focus on 3 & Wes Cravens New Nightmare which is movie 7. They are the best one besides the original.
What a cool reaction and take on my fav horror franchise. Liked and subbed, love it. I hope you do Dream Warriors, it's absolutely the best in the series.
every october i discover new movie reactors and its always such a treat to find one that just GETS IT. this year, its definitely you. Love your insights and appreciation for things. keep up the great work
Saw this in the theater when i was 7. March of 85 (this movie had a slow, staggared roll out.. it was an indie). I told my dad "itll be like Gremlins"... it wasnt like Gremlins. Offered to pay for both me and my dads ticket with my allowance. We walk in the theater during Tinas first dream and i panic and try to run... he pulls me back in... "Nope, you dragged me out here, were staying"
That’s actually why Freddy is killing the kids on elm street because the adults burnt him alive. So now he’s killing the kids of the very adults that killed him
There's a through line, that a Lord Of The Rings fan, like Grizz will appreciate. New Line Cinema, owes the bulk of its early success, to A Nightmare On Elm Street films, which gave them the nickname, The House That Freddy Built. It was during the preproduction for ANOES part 6, that New Line had Peter Jackson write an unproduced script for them. Even though that fell through, it was there that he forged a relationship with that studio. Which in turn led to him adapting each LOTR novel into separate movies, as opposed to just condensing all three into just one or two films, which was what other studios wanted.
Hello Nancy, I'm your boyfriend now, aa ha ha ha. That was oatmeal when she was running up the stairs. I think Wes said in an interview that it was reversed camera for that scene. Always like the third film
Nightmare 1,2,3,4,5 Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (Part 6) from 1984 to 1991, Wes Craven's "New Nightmare" (1994 meta horror film about Hollywood and the Nightmare cast/crew dealing with a demon who wants to be "Freddy") and Freddy Vs Jason 2003 (Freddy vs killer from Friday the 13th). There is a remake of Nightmare made in 2010, but its terrible.
@@samcarter565 I was looking forward too it and I even stood up for Jackie Earl Haley (great actor) but the movie did the worst thing it could have done. It's just boring, stale, no imagination and no soul at all. Has some cool effects.... but nothing else.
This movie gave me fear to sleep for quite awhile, I love your commentary on movies you watch, how you appreciate the style and scenes of classics, you recognize what the director is going for, I really love that, I’m going to keep watching, thanks!!😊
There's a documentary on the entire series (minus the 2010 remake) called "Never Sleep Again - The Elm Street Legacy". It's pretty fantastic. It tells you how they did everything and there's sections for every one of the movies. It has interviews with the cast, the directors, everything. I highly recommend it, but only after you've watched the entire series. Otherwise you'll spoil the rest of the series for yourself. For Tina's death, and the Blood Geyser, they used the same rotating room, so you were right when you said it was a room upside down, and there were people dumping buckets of "blood" through the hole in the bed. If you watch the scene again, you'll see the "blood" move to one side of the "ceiling" because the water threw the balance off on the room and it started pouring out the window and electrocuted one of the people pouring the water in (not to death, but shocked em good for sure)! The gag with Freddy coming through the wall when Nancy's asleep in Tina's bed was just latex covering the wall with Robert England pressing against it. All practical effects! So much better than CGI BS!
When I was like 5 years old my family bought our first television. One of those big tube ones. It was small and was on top of a cabinet and we were supposed to sit on this couch that's a bit far so it'd be good with the height to see. My mom said I can't touch the tv without an adult because back then they were super expensive and children didn't really touch electronics because they could break it. Well it was late and night and I was stubborn and I crept out of bed and turned it on with the sound super low. I had to even climb the drawers to get to it to reach, and the tv didn't have a remote. I hurried back on the couch to watch all excited that I got away with it and it started... "Nightmare on Elm st". fun fact, I've lived in Elm Street most of my life... to a 5 year old though I was like oh it's about where I live. I was TERRIFIED the whole movie, hiding behind the covers a lot, and wanted to turn it off or do something but too scared to get off the couch and get out of the covers. So I sat there through the whole movie, and then later ran to my room and even left it on all night. :X I never told my family why I suddenly was afraid to go to sleep in the dark for a while :X
I was 10 when this came out. I convinced an adult to take me to see it because my older sister raved about it. The adult decided that, after seeing Tina dragged across the ceiling, that this was too violent. My only introduction to Freddy was he comes to your dream, rips you open, and drags you across the ceiling... On another note, in a deleted scene, when Marge and Nancy are in the basement, Marge tells Nancy that she had an older brother. Freddy killed him when Nancy was an infant.
Fun fact that for some inconceivable reason they left out of the final cut: all the kids attacked in this movie had older siblings that Freddy killed when he was alive.
I probably won't be the only one to say this, but you can definitely skip the second movie. It has almost nothing to do with the rest of the franchise. It's the "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" of Freddy movies.
According to John Carpenter, his entire idea for Halloween was to have a different kind of ‘Slasher’ for each installment. So Halloween 2 would have been about something other than Michael Myers. That’s why Halloween 3 is such a different film.
NO, see part 2. Doesnt matter if its connected, or as everyone points out, filled with latent 80s gay subtext. it's still interesting, and is the darkest Freddy besides the 1st one.
