Wes Craven's New Nightmare (sometimes just referred to as New Nightmare) is a 1994 slasher metafilm written and directed by original creator Wes Craven who wrote and directed the original Nightmare on Elm Street film. Although it is the seventh installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, it is not part of the series continuity, instead portraying Freddy Krueger as a fictional movie villain who invades the real world and haunts the cast and crew responsible for his films. In this film, Freddy is depicted as closer to what Craven originally intended, being more menacing and less comical, with a greatly updated attire and appearance. The film features various people involved in the motion picture industry playing themselves, including actress Heather Langenkamp who is compelled by events in the narrative to reprise her role as Nancy Thompson. New Nightmare features several homages to the original film. In New Nightmare, Freddy Krueger was portrayed closer to what Craven had imagined; darker and less comical. To correspond with this, the make-up and outfit of the character was different, with one of the most prominent differences being that he now wears a long, black trenchcoat. In addition, the signature glove was redesigned for a more organic look, with the fingers resembling bones and having muscle textures in between. While Robert Englund again plays the character, "Freddy Krueger" is credited as "Himself" in the end credits. Craven had intended to ask Johnny Depp, whose feature film debut was in A Nightmare on Elm Street, to make an appearance as himself, but Craven was too timid to ask him. Upon running into each other after the film's release, Depp said he would have been happy to do it. Robert Englund as himself and The Entity / "Freddy Krueger". Englund's performance as Freddy is notably toned down in this film compared to its predecessors, with less focus on comedic quips and more on the sinister aspect of his character. The Krueger costume was also altered to become darker with more "organic" makeup and a revised glove. In the film, Englund also plays himself as both an actor and painter. According to the 2010 documentary Never Sleep Again, a scripted but ultimately unfilmed sequence would have seen Englund transformed into a fly and trapped in the web of a giant "Freddy-spider" in an homage to the 1958 film The Fly. The sequence was not shot due to time and budgetary constraints. Heather Langenkamp Hopes for a Final 'Nightmare on Elm Street' Showdown Against Freddy Krueger With Laurie Strode squaring off against Michael Meyers one final time in Halloween Ends, scream queen Heather Langenkamp revealed she wants in on that modern-day horror revival action. Now returning to the genre in Mike Flanagan and Netflix’s The Midnight Club, the A Nightmare on Elm Street star shared her interest in one final showdown against the razor-fingered demon of her nightmares. Like Jamie Lee Curtis who plays Strode in 1978’s Halloween as well as the recent trilogy, Langenkamp’s iconic character Nancy Thompson first appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street alongside Robert Englund, who originated the terrifying character of Freddy Krueger. After outliving all her friends and boyfriend Glen – played by a young Johnny Depp in his film debut – in the classic slasher, the character returned for 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, only to meet her demise. Regardless of her death, the actress returned to the franchise once again in 1994 to play herself in the extremely meta flick Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight regarding her character Dr. Georgina Stanton in The Midnight Club, it’s no surprise that Krueger came up – especially since to the new Flanagan series makes nods to A Nightmare on Elm Street. “If Nancy could fight Freddy one last time, I would really like that,” Langenkamp said. “Gosh, I'd love to see a future in that. I've been really watching the Halloween saga that's been out, and I love watching Jamie Lee Curtis get to play that part. You know, this age, where I think we have so much to give to those storylines, but I wish I was in control of that, but unfortunately, it's one of those Hollywood very complicated things." Even though her character’s death in A Nightmare on Elm Street’s third installment could cause some issues, the late Wes Craven proved the impossible could be done before by bringing her back to play a fictionalized version of herself in New Nightmare. Langenkamp could even work with the Flanagan again – who receives critical acclaim and praise from fans on every horror or thriller project he works on. Back in 2019, Flanagan even teased a “killer idea” he had for A Nightmare on Elm Street project on an episode of Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew podcast. Since there were never any real updates, fans could draw the conclusion that his idea helped inspire some of his recent hits. While it’s just a comment from Langenkamp, it sure stirred some excitement among fans of A Nightmare of Elm Street for a potential addition to the franchise. Until then, fans can check out Langenkamp in The Midnight Club, now streaming on Netflix.All sales will be shipped securely! If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate!
