Movie Dumpster has one of the nicest looking podcasts in the business

RELEASED THE UNCENSORED CUT. Even in low quality uploads, the uncensored motorcycle scene is GRUESOME.

That scene where Freddy grows out of Alice and the two separate looks amazing and was incredibly well done

5 is fairly scrutinized as it deserves to be but it is my favorite. Worth the wait I haven't slept in 2 months. Good ep Dudical Dudes 💪

Dying every time he yells out ITS A BOOOY

This is one of my favorite Nightmare on Elm Street movies I love when Freddy says it's a boy

i love the whole comicbook sequence. the guys superhero powers, and Super Freddy etc, so good. glorious cheese.

The extended or directors cut of Nightmare 5 on vhs has a yellow label on the front cover that says "The full length uncensored version, contains material not seen in the theatrical release." The run time is 91 mins, the only differences are the kills are all extended. The vhs movie dumpster has is the theatrical cut, Media released both versions. The VHS and maybe laser disc are the only way to watch the uncensored version as of now, I suggest you check it out Tony, you will probably like the extended kills.

The way Alice got Kristin’s power wasn’t convoluted at all…. Alice’s dream power was always taking the powers of those she dreamed with. Kristen called Alice to her dream, and Alice got her power to call others. On NBC’s Heroes, the called that an Empath, like Peter Patrelli

Always awesome seeing Sean and Joe here!

My favourite bad line is where Yvonne says. "You are just a little pregnant." So do you have patients that are MEDIUM Pregnant?

i watched Elm Street 5 for DVD a week ago and just noticed this in the very beginning of the movie and never noticed it for a long time. apparently Freddy Krueger has resurrection powers where he used it to bring Amanda Krueger's soul back to life somehow and use her torture her in the dream world to give birth to him while having Alice witness it. Strange moment and pretty evil and twisted for Freddy Krueger to do something like to his dead mother's soul

It must be such an honor to be able to talk to Tony of Dark Knight Rises fame.

The three deaths movie were very creative, especially the comic book one.

I’m with Jay from RedLetterMedia that after Part 2 (which now has its fans) that it’s this one that’s the most underrated. It’s incredibly creative visually and the thematic stuff is interesting. The goofiness of Freddy clashes a bit with the tone, but I still think it ultimately works well.

GREAT EPISODE, PSYCHED TO SEE YOU IN THE VIDEO DUNGEON WITH JOE & SEAN!

I all ways figured that at the start of these movies, Freddy didn't know just what he could do and being freshly killed was still pissed, so he was less joking about. It was as things went on that he started messing with everyone just because the whole thing got dull for him otherwise.

With the uncut version the same thing happened in the UK. The VHS rental release was uncut. The cinema version and all other releases are cut, Dan and Greta deaths. I worked in a video store at the time. I kept alot of tapes from then Nightmare 5 being one of them.

The NIGHTMARE Franchise might've been Losing Steam at this point but one thing is For Sure & it's the Fact that ROBERT ENGLUND still Worked his ASS off as FREDDY KRUEGER no matter how campy he became 😃🤘🤘

Since it was brought up, i find nothing wrong with the ending of part 4. It's in the Dream Master rhyme: "evil will see itself, and it shall die!" I just figured since Alice was in a church, she used the church's stained glass to give power to the trapped souls to escape. I have no problem with the one-liners. As I mentioned on the Elm Street 4 video, i saw the latter ones before I saw the early ones. I saw 4-Freddy's Dead when i was little. I watched 4 at a friend's house. Don't remember when i first saw 5, and my step-dad took my to see Freddy's Dead in theaters when it first came out. I don't think that they "forgot" the dream powers. I just think that they went away when Freddy died because Alice got them from Kristen. In Elm Street 4, only Dan survived. So, that's how Alice got new friends. It's explained by Mark that Amanda killed herself after Freddy was freed. So, I'm guessing that someone hid her body. I never thought that Amanda was supposed to fight Freddy. That's why she needed Alice's help. I never noticed Freddy in the wall.

I don't comment often but just wanted to say that I always look forward to your videos, keep up the good work man.

During almost this entire review Tony almost only looks at Joe while he is talking and never Sean. He really only looks at Sean when he is talking and even then Tony barley looks his way. It's almost like Sean is the 3rd wheel at his own video dungeon 😂

Really enjoyed how much this felt like an episode of movie dumpster but if any guys enjoyed this but aren't familiar make sure to check them out they don't get enough love

This was the first Nightmare movie I saw in the theater…I was the target (child) audience for Freddy-Mania. Immediately, I noticed a different vibe to it, but still liked it. Mark was a cool character, too! Was definitely bummed about the smaller bodycount - even at the age of 6 or 7 when I saw it. 😂. I think it unfairly gets dunked on though…easy target as far as I’m concerned. For my money, Freddy Vs Jason is way worse. For all intents and purposes….as rushed as the turnaround time was from getting a greenlight to release….things could have/SHOULD have been much worse. There are a ton of Dumpster favorites that I always thought were way worse. 😂

I'm glad to see Tony can finally admit he had to foreclose on his store. 👊

Hey it's been awhile since we got a HACK THE MOVIES/MOVIE DUMPSTER Crossover Video,,,,,Awesome to see you guys together again 😃🤘🤘

Great review! Loved this one. Let's get some hills have eyes review like this. "Teach me how to be a molester" 😂😂 @1:03:46

My second-favorite Nightmare film.. that is all.

I was looking at that shirt and thought “That skull looks familiar”... And sure enough... Faces of Death!!! 🙂

Yeah Movie Dumpster thank you

What about Stephen Hopkins' 1993 gem Judgment Night?! Awesome and underrated!

I have that same VHS from when I was a kid. I remember not being to into this one at that age thinking the kid stuff was dumb, but when I revisited it when I was older I liked it a lot more. To be fair, I love all the Nightmare movies (except the remake), but this one is definitely toward the bottom of my rankings in the franchise. Also, Jesse Owens actually received a signed letter from Hitler congratulating him on his win while FDR didn't. Dang it! Just when I thought I could go one comment without making a WW II reference Tony reels me back in! 😅

Oh and btw, as to your question about the guy playing "Super Freddy" in the cartoon kill, that is the actor Michael Bailey Smith, who also, btw, was Danny's hunky body double in the opening sex scene. Michael has been in a TON of movies and TV, including playing numerous wild characters in the TV series "Charmed" and the films "The Hills Have Eyes" 1 &2, Men in Black, and many more!

Super Freddy was in Master of Disguise as one of Brent Spiner's goons.

Anyone else notice how the Unholy Trinity all had their worst performing, worst received Films drop in 1989?

Hey, Joe! I noticed a gold helmet hung in the background set behind your head. What is that? good review btw...

Definitely worth the wait! Thanks man.

SUPER FREDDY!

Yay!!! Love when these guys visit!!!!!

Freddy lives in the mind wether awake or not. The subject is just more vulnerable when asleep.

I love the graduation scene. Where we meet all of the stereotyped characters: Artist/skater, rich fashion model, swim team girl etc. We see Alice's father again, who is now sober. All leading up to awesome family picture with all the crazy parents. This movie sucks but it was the very first Nightmare that I saw in the theater as a kid 💯

Nightmare 5 is the only film in the series that doesn't have the 1428 elm street house in it.

Dan's dad was played by Burr Debennig. And every time I see him all I think is he is Dr. TED Nelson

Always love seeing the three of you together.

🎶He's back again🎶 During the opening baby making scene, the camera quickly shows Dan's back has long scratch marks & as Alice gets out of bed his hand foreshadows the glove...not that glove.

I wonder how much of "Dream Child" was influenced by 1988's "The Fly II"? Both centered around the 'offspring' of their murderous fathers and essentially were the final nails in each franchises' coffins to a degree.

I think that it is important to mention that Doctor who blabbed on Alice would be sued for every dime he has. Also, I think Dan's folks wanted that kid so that they could raise him to hopefully become some NFL superstar. Just my personal opinion but Greta was a bitch for too large a portion of the movie for her to survive.

Each Nightmare film tried to deliver something different part 4 was the MTV Nightmare popcorn film with cool 80s rock and Kungfu. This one goes for a slow somber feel and is all about female issues and female themes with the pregnancy plot in doing so the film is slower paced and lacks a body count but female audiences will enjoy this film more because it's aimed more at them then a male audience. They didn't think they could go bigger then 4 so instead they went smaller and tried to make a more personal story for the female hero.

The movie series should've just focused on Kruger killing his school bound victims in many different ways. The moment where they started to create a long plot to somehow create more solid characters with history, other than Nancy's family, made it slightly unpleasing

I remember that film and Jason Takes Manhattan, both bombed the same year in 1989.

I like certain parts of this one so i don't hate it. Interesting to hear what you guys said about studio interference. Definitely not the best horse out the gate but tampering turned it the elmers. "Harvey!!!! Im Amanda Krueger 🤣. You guys work hard and give us great reviews and alot of great info. Much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hahaha 1h11m in Tony flubs it and Sean feels Vindicated 😆 What a feeling Always rooting for the little guy 🤪

5 was directed by Stephen Hopkins the director of predator 2 and fox almost got him to do alien 3 before they hired fincher and the director of 4 was the first director of alien 3 when he stepped down they gave him die hard 2

“It’s Super-Freddy!” Aww, Super-Freddy sucks.

Head cannon, Freddy wasn’t defeated. Alice moves away from Springwood leaving the dream world without the dream master allowing for Freddy to go full power and kill all the kids leading to Freddy’s dead.

Was this the (silly) slam dunk scene Nightmare on Elm Street movie? Awesome episode!

Noes 4 was. The moment you have Freddy putting on a pair of sunglasses the fear is over.

The shitty makeup was the biggest problem for me

After rewatching Freddy's Revenge I have to agree with Tony here. I would honestly place that one above the original just slightly. The only downside is there aren't really any nightmare death sequences.

Super Freddy was in the remake of Hills Have Eyes

Yo why I thought dude on the right was Kane Hodder at first glance 😂

I don't care what anyone says I love this movie. Seeing more of Freddy's fucked up backstory is a delight.

1989 was pretty lackluster not just for Freddy but other horror franchises with weak sequels like Halloween 5 and Jason Takes Manhattan which was weird because just the year before all three franchises had some good sequels.

Freddy becomes Mr. Freeze from Batman & Robin. The writers didn't write a character, they wrote jokes and tried to cram them into Freddy

Maybe Jacob knows the kid from mimic who was friends with Mr. FUNNY SHOES

I want a cross over between nightmare dream child and problem child

The only good thing about Stephen Hopkins Big Screen Version of LOST IN SPACE is Gary Oldman as Dr.Zachary Smith

The best way to watch The Dream Child is when you're half asleep. You get the basic story idea and Robert England as Freddy. If you fall completely asleep then it's no big loss.

So apparently the actress Lisa Wilcox is on the weird reality TV show MILF Manor, where a bunch of cougars date each other's grown 20 something year old sons and are put in awkward situations around each other.

Part 6 is a guilty pleasure as it was the first time I was 10 on tv and was old enough to get the lore and I watched 2, 3 and 4 with my brother and then I watched them over and over on my vcr I got for Christmas and started to binge on them and I became an immediate diehard fan and nearly jumped up and down when I saw the tv advert for Freddy vs Jason and for my 13th birthday I got a 7 disc special edition of the nightmare collection part 1 and 3,4 were my favorite movies of the series I like part 2 and 7 for the more darker tone and the version of Freddy, but my favorite iteration of Freddy is part 3 where he's a dark combination of both one liners and atmosphere

This was the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie I watched in it's entirety. I was 8, I think. I had spent the night with my older cousin, and she rented this and Jason Takes Manhattan 😆. This movie freaked me out, and to this day I do Not like taking showers in a booth type shower with the clear doors. I always think they just might get stuck and fill up with water to drown me😱😝.

the 4th film was last great freddy sequel in my opionion, 5 had flaws, but wasn't complete crap, but 6 wooo boyyyyyyyy even have hard time getting thru that one just went over board with the humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The scene where Freddy was on a skateboard is because at the time my cousin Robert Englund favorite game with Tony Hawk skateboard, so Robert wanted to include that in this movie as a shout out to Tony Hawk.

“Hey Danny, better not dream and drive”

i saw something where it explained the sweater choice. i guess the colors red and green together (stripes) cause some confliction on the eyes which can be unpleasant? so that is the red and green thing.

I saw this with my uncle and gf back in 1989 in time square in the abandoned united artists theater

It was the beginning of the end, I didn't hate it, but it was just very forgettable. Also, Nightmare 4 in 1988 did really damn good at the box office and Nightmare 5 had a massive drop off compared to 4. People were getting burned out on slashers in general by 1989 and Freddy did jump the shark with all the merchandise and all the MTV s@@t.

I always thought, based on seeing Freddy at the end of 4, that Robert was Freddy hiding in her subconscious, not Freddy's dad.. and when she "wakes" next to Robert instead of Dan, that was telling us that she just had sex with Freddy in the dream, and as you know you can bring things out of the dream... And Freddy didn't use protection in the dream, and then the family resemblance line.. Jacob is literally Freddy's son...

I don’t know what the hell Joe is talking about, but Part 7 (New Nightmare) came out in 1994.

Fire episode t0nY!!!🔥🫨🔥🔥🔥🔥

The movie is definitely a mess, but it does have some creative skills and unique camera tricks.

As much as I love 3, ( saw it in the theatre with my dad at 13), he started the shenanigans and one liners in that film. In my old age I really just appreciate one and two so much. New nightmare had a awesome first half and then well.

I love some of the kills in this the practical effects are great it's definitely not as comedic as Freddys dead but still has it's flaws it's wacky but I love it I wanna see uncut version

Anyone know who will be on with T today?

So we’re not calling these episodes Hack The Movie Dumpster?

You know what movie is not the final chapter? "AssMasters 7: The final chapter" They let a lot of loose ends!!!

The Dream Child is the greatest film ever made.

jacob is like "i see dead people."

Great discussion but as always in these discussions I'm a bit biased 😃 💀 ☠️

Uh oh, Tony went single white female on Joe

This is honestly my least favorite one of the franchise. Also it's great to see joe and sean in the store!!

Where can I find the New Nightmare review?

You mentioned sequels to slashers, what if you did a video series ranking sequels of the big-time horror franchises against each other? Rank every Nightmare, Halloween, Friday, Chainsaw, Hellraiser, Childs Play ect against each other? Who had the best 2nd, 3rd, 7th installment? I don't think I have seen this done yet.

I wish I got to hear Sean's opinion at the end more, but Bony interrupted him. lol

10:08 actually the digitally remastered version of the dream child came out in 1999 not in 2000

was this filmed before the strike or are you crossing the picket line

I think they should of stopped at 5 movies. Freddy's dead should of have the best bits of dream child and mix it. I think by the time Freddy's dead it was over extending and it would of been poetic because it would of ended in 1989.

Although A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 5: The Dream Child (1989) is not as bad as some A Nightmare on Elm Street Fans make it out to be, it's still not good. This movie really isn't scary. The only parts in the movie that I find a bit scary was the shower scene that happens at the beginning of the movie and where Alice's boyfriend is killed by Freddy Krueger in a nightmare by turning him into motorcycle-human hybrid. That's it. The pacing is really not good. The movie feels longer than it actually is. The new characters with the exception of Alice, who we already know from the previous film, are completely forgettable. None of them is interesting or memorable in any way. Freddy Krueger is no longer scary or funny here. Even his One Liners worked much better in Part 3 and 4 than in this film. The story of the movie is also kind of "Meh". Not everything about this movie was bad though imo. The practical Special Effects are still great and the makers of the movie at least tried to be creative, although the most creative scene in the entire movie was the Comicbook Kill. If I would rate The Dream Child, it would be a 5/10. It's just mediocre.

Hellraiser Inferno got two and a half Stars Nightmare on Elm Street dream child got two and a half Stars Hellraiser Inferno got 5.4 / 10, Nightmare on Elm Street dream child got 5/10
