Marge hiding that booze behind her back has always cracked me up, same when she pulls her backup bottle out of the linen closet and takes a big old swig.
I always thought the actress who played the mother did a great job in this film. She's obviously an alcoholic, but she has to appear like a drunk who's trying to act sober. On a side note, how the hell did she get custody of Nancy over her dad who was a policeman?
Usually it's a case where the parent has to physically involved in a child's life. Her dad is almost always away at the station, so he wouldn't be able to take care of her consistently. Plus, in the 80s, it was still considered a woman's place to take care of the kids and the household.
One of my old friends from growing up became a police officer/ sheriffs deputy per se and he didn’t get married to the mother of the two children they shared custody with so it was like a 60/40 OR 70/30 custody split because he’d be out on patrol pretty much of the time and the mother makes sure they’re in school and attends their after school leisure activities like karate, gymnastics, etc and he’s trying now to become a homicide detective because he wants to try to solve his mother’s murder but from what I was told from him that his superiors won’t let him take the case. I guess it’s a matter of conflicts and stressful disorders. I do hope his mother’s murder does get solved one day and doesn’t become a cold case
Back in the 1960-70's 99.99% of the time the Wife/Mother got the children no questions asked. It would have to be something drastic for the father to get custody
@Edward89 The best acting scenes often involve some degree of improvisation. If actors stick too much to the exact script then this will usually make those scenes feel very "rehearsed", whereas if they are allowed to ad-lib their scenes a bit - or suggest changes to their lines - then this will make them come off as more natural and spontaneous.
And even when the series got funnier there was ALWAYS that storyline of if the parents had just LISTENED 2 their children this could've ALL been avoided.
More like if the parents hadn't taken the law into their own hands and burned Freddy in the 1st place, Freddy would never become the supernatural dream demon that he was. But then again, the parents had no choice because Freddy got released on a technicality.
@@Sight2Behold actually they could. If they knew what Freddy became after they burned them. All they have to do is believe the fact that Freddy was after their offspring in their dreams and fall asleep in the same room as them. Don't forget that Kristen from party 3 dream warriors and part 4 the dream master had the ability to pull people into her dreams and admitted to pulling her dad in when she was a toddler which was probably when Freddy was alive and human.
Ignoring the fact that your parents aren't in your head, suburban complacency was more important than the wellbeing of the kids who were probably just looking to get attention, according to their parents. In Nightmare 3, Kristen's mother was dismissive of her problems, and in Nightmare 4, Alice's dad was an asshole up until her brother died.
It is kinda hard to believe someone who claims to literally pull stuff out of her dreams; you would need to have overwhelmingly strong evidence for that statement before you would believe her, like for example the part when Nancy magically conjured up a hat inside her sleeping room.
Nancy:"It even has his name written in it Fred Krueger Mother Fred Krueger..Do you know who that is? Because if you do you better tell me cause he's after me now"....(holding Fred Krueger's hat)
The house on 1428 Genesse Avenue was used for outside filming only. The inside of the house you see here is not the inside of the house located in West Hollywood on Genesse Ave
i believe they were done on a sound stage. check out this video. Towards the end the actress that played Nancy takes you on a tour of the inside of the real house on 1428 Genesse Avenue in West Hollywood. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cSX5TxyCksI.html
Thanks, I know this clip well. :) I always thought all the inside shots were taken in the House 1428 Genesse Ave. as well. The only thing that makes me doubt was the fact that the windows on the 1. floor (Nancys room) had been too far on the outside of the front from the inside seen comparing with the outside shots. Cause in this case the hallway must have been really narrow between bedroom and Nancys room...
I've got a theory. I wonder if Marge has been haunted by Freddy in her dreams and she uses alcohol as a proxy for hypnocil (the dream suppressant drug from Dream Warriors and Freddy vs Jason). If she can't remember her dreams she won't be scared of Freddy; any thoughts?
Marge and Donald (Nancy's parents) were the ring leaders that burned Freddy to death. Marge moved in Freddy's old house and kept his claws in the furnace as a trophy.
SCREW SLEEP! I love watching these EVERY Halloween and Every Summer and I wish They would've had this scene, because it proves that from the Very beginning it was the mothers fault.
Poor Nancy got Slapped in the face I wouldn't Blame Nancy what says Sleep she won't get any better because of Freddy and what he is doing to her friends
Marge could do better? I think she did a wonderful job trying to forget the event of Krueger being burned to death by her and the other Elm Street parents
I liked Ronee Blakley personally. Her character didn’t have enough screen time to make a super big impact, but I feel like she did a good job portraying a woman in denial of what is happening to her daughter while also not being the annoying “too dumb to die” ignorant character you see in a lot of horror films
What I like about these movies they went so real with the parents...... Single mom, smoking and drinking, trying to hide her drinking problems.....So intense, so honest, so brutal.
Fun fact: I grew up watching this movie and always laughed about how comically she gets pulled through the window. I just learned today that my boss of 5 years is Ronee's brother in real life 🤣 I texted him "your sister was in NOES?!" And he was like "yep!"
It would’ve been AWESOME if Freddy came into the kitchen and said “I SAID WHERE DO YOU KEEP THE MOTHERFUCKING BOURBON 🥃 and kill’s Marge and dangles her head 🫢🫣
Ce n'est pas la scène qu'ils ont garder car les acteurs l'avaient rejouer plus poignante et plus stressante mais aussi où le perso de Nancy apprend des choses sur Freddy et comprend que personne ne l'aidera car personne ne la croit.
The parents are the secondary villains in this series. They don't mean to be but they are. It's obvious something weird is happening. Marge refuses to admit it. Her daughter is holding the hat of the man Marge helped kill. A hat Nancy should have had no way of possibly getting. And all she can say is "No, no. He's dead and gone. Just sleep." I love that dynamic. Nancy can't fully trust any adult. Just herself and Glenn.
Yep you can tell her hand connects with her face here. Even if it's a light slap that would get irritating after multiple takes, with that ring on her finger and all lol

Went to see it last night with pals in local cinema, they have a classic horror showing every month. It's really not as scary as when it first came out. We were in hysterics at the mum she's so dramatic.
