A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION! 

Classic. Birth of a horror icon. Johnny Depp's debut. R.I.P. Wes Craven.

"I'm your boyfriend now Nancy" will always be an Iconic line

I went barefoot everywhere as a kid - feet were rough enough to run on gravel. This was late 70's and the 80's for me. 😁 Freddie has always been my fav because he plays with his food (I had typed this before you guys said it - lol) Many think Dream Warriors is the best of the series. The first will always hold a special place for me.

The scene of Nancy setting Freddy on fire during the ending was all done on ONE TAKE. Which was one of the best moments in horror film history.

‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ was inspired by a true story. Wes Craven revealed that the central theme of A Nightmare on Elm Street - the idea of being killed in your dreams - was directly inspired by a true story. “I’d read an article in the L.A. Times about a family who had escaped the Killing Fields in Cambodia and managed to get to the U.S.,” he said. “Things were fine, and then suddenly the young son was having very disturbing nightmares. He told his parents he was afraid that if he slept, the thing chasing him would get him, so he tried to stay awake for days at a time. When he finally fell asleep, his parents thought this crisis was over. Then they heard screams in the middle of the night.” “By the time they got to him, he was dead. He died in the middle of a nightmare. Here was a youngster having a vision of a horror that everyone older was denying. That became the central line of Nightmare on Elm Street.” (Anyone else suddenly get goosebumps?)

They're barefoot, cus they took their shoes off to go to bed. They don't get their feet cut, cus it's a dream. Who steps on shit in their dreams? It's more like floating than walking. You don't have to think about moving your legs, you just move through space visually. Also...it's Freddy's reality, and I don't think he wants people dying of tetanus before he can get to them.

Fun Fact: The guy who played the doctor when Nancy did her sleep test, he's the voice of Roger Rabbit.

Ahhh yes, I remember being a kid & seeing this in theaters. When I got home... there was NO SLEEP GOING ON!

“Sleep: Those little slices of death, how I loathe them” - Edgar Allen Poe A classic! Hope you make it to Nightmare on Elm Street, part 3: Dream Warriors. It’s the absolute best of the series (Honestly, unless you want a cringy but good laugh: You can even skip ANOES, part 2 and go strait to part 3... Part 2’s got major issues)

it was the 80’s and yes, as a kid, I was always outside barefoot. 🦶🏽

Michael Meyers (1978), Alien (1979), Jason Voorhees (1980), Freddy (1984), PinHead (1987), Chucky (1988) were the NEW Dracula/Frankenstine/Werewolf/Mummy, et al. Wes Craven gave us one more in 1996 with Scream. But since then it's been dry for new 'monsters'.

80s THING I was born in 74 and still prefer to be barefoot when I'm home. If I was just going out the door to the patio, or the driveway, unless there's ice/snow down I generally don't bother with shoes. Heck, if my dogs leash is twisted snow doesn't deter me. Glad to see you guys picking up on all the lore. I love these movies...even the cheesier ones. Think you guys should explore the PROM NIGHT series, and the URBAN LEGENDS series. So many great horror franchises that started in the early 80s. Heads up.... Nancy is a recurring character!!!

I always loved (and still love) how much Robert Englund absolutely relished the role of Freddy Krueger. Before he landed it, he had been best known as the friendly alien Willie in the "V" TV series. He auditioned for Freddy because he was 'tired of playing everybody's buddy' and didn't want to be typecast.

I think your twin keeps forgetting that those things were happening in their DREAMS, not while they were awake xP. You can't really apply the same expectations, like "psh, people in horror movies always leaving the group" or "why don't they run away?!" and such. Unless you're having a veeeery lucid dream, you're much more of an observer than a participant. The environment changes without you actually noticing and Freddy is the one controlling it. Throughout most of it, you're just along for the ride.

The ending is never explained. It's 80s horror. The ending is left up to your imagination to what it was. Tip: Nancy is back in Part 3

Luv that Wes Craven gave Freddy lines.. At the time villains had full face masks and didn't talk.. Freddy had an attitude and a good sense of humor..

Tales From The Hood next, perfect month to do that one

I was 12 years old when I watched this. I didn't want to go to sleep after, it freaked me out so much.

Nightmare on elm street 3 and Wes Cravens New Nightmare both have Nancy in them. Both are decent films that you could check out.

Freddy's one liners are awesome. I'm glad Curtis FINALLY watched this movie. This movie is indeed a classic. Just the music is legendary.

If you wanna know what happened to Nancy check out the 3rd and New Nigtmare. Those along with this is a nice trilogy for her

The late John Saxon who portrayed Roper in Enter the Dragon, was in several tv shows & films. The Unforgiven (1960), Night Caller from Outer Space (1965), Gunsmoke (1965-'75), Black Christmas (1974), The Six Million Dollar Man (1974-'76), Beyond Evil (1980), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), The Last Samurai (1990), Beverly Hills Cop III (1994), Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), made a cameo in From Dusk till Dawn (1996), and an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2005)... to name a few.

I like how you guys stick around and chat about the flick and not try to get it over with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✔️

I spent much of my childhood barefoot! It was no big deal to roam the neighborhood & hang out w/ no shoes on. Fast forward 50 years & I don't even walk around my own house barefoot, lol. I couldn't imagine letting my kids leave the house w/ no shoes these days - no way! That's one of those innocent things from the past that makes them "the good ol' days"! 🦶🦶

The concept for death from sleeping came from a news article about a healthy Southeast Asian refugee who died suddenly in his sleep. Freddy Krueger’s name came from a bully Wes Craven knew, and the iconic hat belonged to a drunk who frightened a young Craven.

This movie came out the night before I was born. I was born the next day on a Saturday morning. One of my favorite horror films.

I love the mom doll at the end because it's so cheap and absurd, but nightmares are fluid. Also maybe ties into Nancy's childhood and dollhouses. It could be seen as Freddy's perversion of that.

"Freddy vs. Jason" was a box office success. It was the highest grossing horror movie in 2003. The reason Hollywood hasn't done more slasher crossovers is because of money. The studios who own the rights to these characters cannot agree on how to split the profits. "Freddy vs. Jason" took more than ten years to make it to the big screen.

Well, few people go to sleep in their shoes so thats why Tina and Nancy arent wearing any. Rod bailed out the window and was then on the run so that explains that. I have no idea why Glenn wasnt wearing shoes though

"where's the body...he got blended" - there was more to that scene originally. Glen's body was supposed to rise up out of the hole and fall onto the bed.

10:55 I visited a suburban areas quite a few times in my childhood days, and i can definitely tell you that the reason some people walked around barefoot when traveling to a nearby house is because the roads and sidewalks were just so clean to the point where it made you feel comfortable enough to do so. No, garbage or broken glass, no animals leaving piles of ore chunks all over the place - nothing.

Fun fact: Tina and Glenn's death scenes were achieved using a rotating room, which is the same effect that Nolan used for the hallway fight in Inception.

In real life, Robert Englund is one of the nicest people in Hollywood. Loves his fans.

And if u don't know that's Johnny Depp when he was young.

Nancy does return, but you’ll have to watch them all to see when ;)

The scene with the tub--they had the tub on top of a tank with a hole under the actress. The guy who created the props and glove had Freddy's glove on and was under the water to do the shots of Freddy's arm coming up. The part where they were underwater--they filmed that in a pool with a tarp on top and a hole on top to create that light so you wouldn't know how far down the water was--Wes Craven the director even joked that they thought they'd drown filming that scene

This was 1984 I was trying to figure out if you noticed Johnny Depp was in this. The effects on this movie do seem a little ahead of there time.

Yes, I'm with your mom. I was 24 when this came out....I didn't see it til it was on cable tv, so a year or so later? I was home alone, and ended up so scared, I wouldn't move off my couch until my roommate got home.

Horror films suggestions: Hostel, The Witch, Friday the 13th, Sinister, Grave Encounters, Piranha 3D, Wrong Turn, The Descent, Silent Hill, 1922.

37 years later & I STILL have a sleeping disorder bcuz of Freddie Kruger !!!

Y'all didn't know this is Johnny Depp first movie he plays Glen.

When you said she what if you cut your feet on glass, she did actually do that in that scene 🤣

Yes you are right . I got to live the experience . I’m very fortunate for that . Times were simpler and different and it wasn’t about big budget everything then. I’m lucky to have been born in 68’ I feel. The best of both worlds !

I do love the first one but…Wes Cravens new nightmare is my favorite of the whole franchise don’t at me lol

Elm Street 3 is a continuation of this story (Nancy returns) but number 2 is more like a seperate side story.

As a Gen X, i’m proud of our practical effects in the movie. Except mom the manikin at the end!

You guys should watch (TRAIN TO BUSAN)!!!!!

I cant wait until they make it to Dream warriors.... That one of my favs

Y'all need to watch "Tales from the Hood" for real for real!

Saw this at a sleep over, 6th grade, had to sleep on the couch for three months so Freddie wouldn't come thru my bed

I have always felt the same way about jump scares, being startled isn't the same as being scared. There are jump scares in action movies and those do not make an effective horror movie. I've been watching these movies since I was a little kid and the old ones are the best.

As a child of the 80s, where I'm from, anyway, shoes were pretty much optional unless you were actually going someplace like a store or something. Just walking to a friend's house? No shoes needed.

"Whats With People with NO SHOES?!" - Me 1st day on a College Campus 😂😂

There are belief's across many cultures about dreams& they believe that if you die in a dream some people die for real.

Dudes! When I lived in Florida back in the 80's I NEVER wore shoes. I'd have flip-flops at the most.

Curtis is a whole mood.

Another great reaction guys! Happy Late B-Day btw.

Nancy is in 3 and technically 7 “It Ch2” is a complete remake of the Original “It”

Check out "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" which is kinda meta revolving around this franchise......best part, you really don't have to watch the next 5 films to appreciate it.

During dreams, we do not have the sense of what is logical or not. Despite the brain does believe that experience is real, but same time it does function by what makes sense. Thats why Nancy or Tina were investigating. Notice how some hints are showed. Nancy saw the corpse of Tina on tv, and in her dreams, she sees Tina in the same way, but Nancy behaves like Tina was alive, despite the image been clearly a corpse. Dreaming barefoot is actually very common like dreaming with heights or flying or the start always in the same place. This common dreams people relate with ansiety, stress, fear in real life! The ending is tricky, because that was the original ending. Nancy would just drive the car with her friends giving the interpretation all of the movie was a dream or not. Wes was kinda convinced to make the ending we have. But is commonly believe that last 20 minutes, its all a dream. Nancy never pulled Freddy out of her dream. Thats why he killed Marge and the father didnt got that shocked. Nancy didnt killed Freedy, she just weak him, and the last scene was a way of Freddy to show to Nancy that he was always be there! Another popular theory is that last 20 minutes is Nancy fall into Coma from sleep deprivation. But since Nancy comes back in a specific Chapter, this theory kinda doesnt work.

loved the scene where freddy is above nancy in the wall at 5:08..fun fact..the wall was made from spandex....amazing looking.

Nancy is mentioned in the sequel and appears in the 3rd movie.

CGI didnt exist yet.. all FX is practical. Spandex fabric panel in the bedroom scene with Nancy. Read about it online. Spandex and 2x4s now = $60. If they used CGI = $24,000

Day of the Dead (1985) Dawn of the Dead (1978) remake (2004) Night of the Living Dead (1968) Land of the Dead (2005) Diary of the Dead (2007) 28 Weeks Later (2007)

A horror staple to all horror movie collections. Nancy comes back in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. All the sequels are good and worth watching. Clever ways to kill Freddy but he always comes back. You guys will dig Freddy VS Jason. Hope you guys watch them and looking forward to seeing whatever reaction you choose. Take care!!

“Freddy Attacks EarthQuake Victims”… yeah, that’s actually in the franchise. It’s in NEW NIGHTMARE. It was filmed in California after a massive earthquake, and the rubble is in the film.

Strange seeing such a young Johhny Depp.

I was born in 64' and in my youth I used to walk around outside in bare feet all the time. Maybe it was an 80's thing, I just didn't want to bother with them most of the time. Places to go, things to do. The reason the bare feet showed up a lot in this movie is because most of the time they are in a dream and most folks don't wear shoes to bed.

Great reaction homies as always. A nightmare on elm street franchise is my favorite franchise of all time. Freddy is the goat. Fun fact the cast didn't get paid until after the movie made money which was 4 or 5 months later.

New Line Cinama Dead Teenager Movies Are Awsome Leatherface, Freddy Kruger, Jason voorhees and More and Final Destination 3 special Feature. Please Chris and Curtis review more. P.S Freddy has a Thumb Claw In New Nightmare.

you guys are going to LOVE part 3.

14:26 the doctor is played by comedian Charles Fleischer who was the voice of Roger Rabbit in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

The scene when Nancy was a sleep and Freddie came out of wall, scared me. Also Wes Craven was a child and he would see a man just walking down street at night and that is how he came up with Freddie. Also I don't wear shoes outside lol, I was born in the 70's.

If you want to find out what happened to Nancy, watch "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors." You can skip Part 2 for now and come back to it later.

Nancy DID come back in part 3 to help the other Elm Street kids fight Freddy. If you want to see someone beat the crap out of Freddy, stick around for the end of part 4 where newcomer Alice faces off against him.

I was born in 1980 and I was brought up by a hippy mother so I was bare foot most of the time , unless I was at school or going down town. I still go in to the garden sans shoes and am bare foot around the house I think it's a 70's/ early 80's thing. I love this movie Robert Englund is awesome as Freddy

Classic great movie! Wes Craven’s New Nightmare is the only other Freddy movie you two need to watch. I love the way it was done, and it brought back a lot of the original characters from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Lol they aren't wearing shoes bc they are dreaming wearing what they wore to bed. Also it's 80s. :) great video!

Nancy actually comes back for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and return as for “Wes Craven’s A New Nightmare” as herself Heather Lagenkamp

Part 3. Dream warriors. Nancy is a mentor to younger kids. Freddy is pissed to see her. Watch it. Lol

You have to check out the 3rd Nightmare on Elm Street Dream Warriors… PLEASE

I didn't care for the second one, but the third is my favorite and fourth is good too.

Nancy returns for the third film.

My first ever horror film ever watched I was 4 years old at my grandmother’s house fell in love with the horror films ever since

I would like to recommend from Wes craven deadly friend and even though it does have cheesy acting is one of my favorites

An ‘a-peeling’ segment while he’s dressed as a banana. I appreciate Dad level puns.

"The bed sheets be slithering" Well the mattress be Hufflepuff...

1. Watch the entire series....most of it's typical horror cheesiness but the Final Nightmare is on par with the original. 2. Watch the Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy...they show you how they did the special effects and all the behind the scenes stuff. it's very long but worth the watch.

I do have to say it makes sense Nancy keeps following Tina/ the blood. Most people aren't usually in control of their dreams. Plus she has no idea what's going on yet

This was the BEST horror movie maniac. Up until this point, we didn't have much to work with. I always found Jason and Michael Myers to be incredibly boring, and then Freddy came along.. Forgeddaboutit! Also Poltergeist scared the crap out of me when I was little and began an obsession with the paranormal at the age of frickin' 6.

You both must be very young because in the 80s, yes, we went barefoot and we played outside. You stepped on prickers, sometimes glass, sometimes dogsht and you just kept playing after washing it off with a hose. Even went into stores until they put up those no shirt, no shoes, no services signs and enforced them.

My all time favorite Film (Depending on the day, it's locked in an Eternal Feud with DIE HARD for number one). Classic. I hope you guys react to at least a couple of the Sequels. I'd LOVE to see what you guys think of some of THOSE. This wasn't the 70's fellas, it was 1984.

This movie has two endings and this one was the alternate ending I believe

Happy Belated Birthday! I loved how Curtis was yelling to the characters that they were stupid for following the sounds after watching your Q&A and he said that ticked him off in horror movies. The ending was a dream. The car top was red and green striped like Freddy's sweater and his sweater is iconic. in Scream hen the principal was killed and he went into the hall and the janitor was out there, the janitor is Wes Craven in Freddy's sweater. Her mom died in the fight with Freddy. You have to watch parts 2 and 3. After 3 the series is comedy and not horror, Nancy is in 2 and 3.

You must watch them all. I didn’t like 2 but they do mention what happened to Nancy. I love 3 and 5 then the new nightmare.

u guys should watch nightmare 3 and new nightmare

DONT LOOK IT UP. Watch the 3rd one and you find out what happens to Nancy. Only watch the second one for comedic value.

Nightmare rule: if u can see Freddy your asleep.

Yes pls do nightmare on elm street 3 dream warriors IMO best in the series. Nancy in 3 and New Nightmare

So they're both Chris and Chris? I do like when 'Back' Chris shows off his arms.
