New Nightmare (1994) - full transcript

[CHILDREN'S VOICES ECHO HAUNTINGLY]

Wes: MORE BLOOD!

GREAT. KEEP IT COMING.
CHUCK, TERRY, PUMP AWAY.

DON'T BE STINGY.

OK, WATCH THAT ARM.
I CAN SEE THAT FAKE ARM.

OK, CHASE, KEEP THAT CLAW
REALLY MOVING.

JEFFREY, JAM IT ON THERE
JUST LIKE FREDDY WOULD.

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

AND CUT!
PRINT THAT, GRETCHEN.

Gretchen:
THANK YOU, SIR. 7 ONLY.

CHASE, YOU'RE A GENIUS.



THIS MAKES HIS OLD CLAW LOOK
LIKE MOTHER TERESA'S MITTEN.

YOU BETTER THANK THEM.
THEY'RE VERY SENSITIVE.

CHUCK, TERRY,
GREAT BLOOD. OH-HO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SOME OF OUR
BEST WORK.

HEY, MONKEY MAN,

WANNA SEE
SOME NEAT STUFF?

YEAH. CHASE.

COME ON.

IT'S ONLY MAKE-BELIEVE.

I'LL TALK TO YOU
LATER.

MARIANNE, I GOTTA GO.

OK.

LOW BRIDGE.



LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T
FIND SOMETHING

TO SCARE THE P.J.'S
OFF MOMMY.

HEY, HEATHER.

YOU HUNGRY,
DYLAN?

YEAH.

GRRAAH!

HEE HEE HEE HEE!

OH. GOTCHA.

IT SHOULD HAVE
FLEXED MORE.

CHASE.

I THINK THE SERVOS GOT
SHORTED OUT WITH BLOOD.

WELL...

TAKE IT APART,
PULL IT OUT,

AND INSULATE THEM
WITH SOME STYRO.

THE THING WASN'T MEANT TO BE
SUBMERGED, FOR PETE'S SAKE.

I DON'T LIKE THAT THING.

THAT THING PUTS BREAD
ON OUR TABLE.

Dylan:
IS IT ALIVE, DADDY?

Gretchen: HEATHER.

YOU'RE IN
THE NEXT SHOT.

MIGHT AS WELL BE, DYLAN.
STATE-OF-THE-ART ANIMATRONICS

ENHANCED WITH
BIO-ORGANIC GRAFTING.

BULL TENDONS,

NERVE BUNDLES
FROM A LIVE DOBERMAN.

Heather: CHASE.

UH-OH.

CHUCK!

IT MUST'VE HAVE
PICKED UP A SIGNAL

FROM AN EIGHTIES
WALKIE-TALKIE.

IT'S OFF? YES.

FUNNY, IT'S WARM--
JUST LIKE A REAL HAND.

[CHUCKLING]

[SCREAMS]

[GURGLING]

OH, GOD.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?
CUT THE EFFECTS!

Heather: CHASE!

TERRY, WHERE IS IT?

TERRY!

CHUCK, GET OFF ME.

HEATHER!

HEATHER,
WHERE IS IT?

Terry: CHASE,
WHERE THE HELL IS IT?

DYLAN!

COME ON.

[SCREAMING]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

DYLAN.

NO! CHASE!

NO!

[SCREAMS]

EARTHQUAKE.
COME ON.

OK.

Dylan: MOMMY!

DYLAN!

Chase: HEATHER!

DYLAN!

AAH. DYLAN.

[RUMBLING SUBSIDES]

[CAR ALARMS WAILING]

WHAT IS THAT?

CAR ALARMS.

[SIGHS]

YOU OK?

YEAH.

YOU OK, CHIEF?

NO.

HONEY,
DO YOU HAVE A FEVER?

JUST ANOTHER
EARTHQUAKE, DYLAN.

GETTING KIND OF FUN,
HUH?

DADDY. BLOOD.

IT'S NOTHING, GUYS.

IT'S A SCRATCH.

REALLY.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

PICTURE, I GUESS.

WHEN IT FELL.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

PUT A BANDAGE ON IT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WHOO!

[CHUCKLES]

[SIRENS IN THE DISTANCE]

Newscaster:
GEOLOGISTS AT CAL TECH

HAVE CONFIRMED THAT
THIS MORNING'S AFTERSHOCK...

DO WE HAVE
TO WATCH THAT?

...5.3 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.

Chase: THOUGHT YOU
TURNED IT ON.

...TO CAUSE FURTHER COLLAPSE

OF THE ALREADY BADLY DAMAGED
PARKING STRUCTURE...

I'LL TURN IT OFF.

Newscaster: OFFICIALS SAY
THAT THIS IS NORMAL

FOLLOWING A QUAKE
OF LAST WEEK'S MAGNITUDE,

NOW THOUGHT TO BE
A MASSIVE 6.8.

DYLAN, THIS IS BREAKFAST,
NOT ARTS AND CRAFTS.

GRRR.

WHAT?

DID YOU GET ANY SLEEP
LAST NIGHT?

MORE OR LESS.

OK, TIME TO GET DRESSED.

I'M LATE.

YOU GOING AWAY?

JUST FOR A FEW HOURS.
JULIE WILL BE WITH YOU.

IS THERE ANYTHING
OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS

BOTHERING YOU?

I THINK 5 EARTHQUAKES IN
3 WEEKS IS ENOUGH, SWEETIE.

HASN'T BEEN ANOTHER
PHONE CALL, HAS THERE?

NO.

OH. GOOD SIGN.

2 FULL WEEKS WITHOUT HIM.

MAYBE HE GOT HIT
BY A TRUCK.

[SIGHS]
HE'S CLOSER, IF ANYTHING.

IT'S GIVING ME
NIGHTMARES, CHASE.

DID YOU HAVE ONE
LAST NIGHT?

AH, IT'S JUST
THE EARTHQUAKES, HEATHER.

MAYBE.

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T DO
THIS INTERVIEW TODAY.

NO.

YOU GOTTA GET BACK
ON THE HORSE SOMETIME.

LOOK, YOU HAD A NUT CASE
MAKING HARASSING PHONE CALLS.

I KNOW HOW SCARY
THAT'S BEEN.

NO...YOU DON'T.

OK...

I DON'T.

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT IT CAN'T BE OVER.

YEAH, BUT WHAT
IF IT ISN'T OVER?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL ME
YOUR DREAM.

OH, IT WAS NOTHING.

I WAS--HMMPH.

YOU AND I WERE WORKING
ON THIS MOVIE--

TOGETHER, FOR ONCE--

AND ONE OF YOUR
SPECIAL EFFECTS

WENT REALLY WRONG.

AND CHUCK AND TERRY
GOT...HURT...

[SNICKERS]

AND, UH...

WELL,
YOUR FINGERS WERE CUT.

RIGHT HERE?

OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO!

HEATHER...

YOU WERE PROBABLY
HALF AWAKE

AND SAW MY FINGERS GET NICKED
WHEN THE MIRROR FELL.

DREAMS ARE LIKE THAT.

HMM.

LOOK, IF YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO GO ON THIS JOB, I WON'T.

JUST BE CAREFUL, OK?

I THINK I CAN SURVIVE
2 DAYS IN PALM SPRINGS

SUPPLYING SOAP BUBBLES
FOR A DETERGENT COMMERCIAL.

I GUESS SO.

YOU GUESS SO?

YEAH.

COME HERE.

MMM.

48 HOURS.

I'LL BE BACK
IN NO TIME.

I GOTTA GO.

OK.

MMM.

HEY!

I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE
WITH THE PLACE.

KNOCK 'EM DEAD.

Chase: DYLAN, I GOTTA GO.
TAKE CARE OF MOMMY.

Dylan: BYE.

[RUMBLING SUBSIDES]

TV: NANCY.

NANCY.

DYLAN, I DON'T WANT YOU
WATCHING THIS.

[SCREAMING]

DYLAN, WHAT'S WRONG?
WHAT'S WRONG?!

WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO YOU?

[SCREAMING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[RING]

HELLO?

Man: ♪ 1, 2--

[RING]

[RING]

HELLO?

Man: FREDDY'S
COMING FOR YOU!

CHASE!

[LOCKS DOOR]

SOMEONE'S COMING.

WHAT?

[RUMBLING]

ARE YOU OK, HONEY?

YES.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

HEATHER!

OH!

HEY.

IS EVERYTHING OK?

YEAH, IT'S JUST
THESE QUAKES.

DID YOU JUST FEEL
A LITTLE ONE JUST NOW?

NO.
A BIG TRUCK WENT BY

RIGHT BEFORE YOU
OPENED THE DOOR.

IT'S LIFE
ON THE FAULT LINE.

HEY, TIGER.
HI, JULIE.

OH!

DOES HE FEEL WARM TO YOU?

HE HAD A FEVER
THIS MORNING, I THINK.

HMM. NO, HE SEEMS OK.

ARE YOU SURE THAT'S
ALL THAT'S WRONG?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

LEAVE US ALONE,
YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Man:
L.A. LIMOUSINE, MA'AM.

JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I'M OUT FRONT.

I'M SORRY. CAN YOU
HANG ON A MINUTE?

[SIGHS]

HEATHER...

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST HAVE THIS
WEIRD FEELING TODAY.

MOMMY?

STAY HOME, THEN.

DYLAN...

THIS DAMN CALLER.

HE'S STARTED AGAIN?

THAT SICK FUCK.

SORRY.

YOU KNOW, DYLAN DOESN'T
SEEM TO HAVE A FEVER.

IT'S PROBABLY
JUST YOUR NERVES.

NERVES?

I JUST MEANT FROM
THE SHAKER THIS MORNING.

EVERYBODY'S
BEEN FREAKED OUT

ABOUT HOW MANY
WE'VE BEEN HAVING.

AND THEN
THESE PHONE CALLS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

DON'T ANSWER IT.

[RING]

HELLO?

Man: EXCUSE ME, MA'AM,
BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE.

OK.

DYLAN, I GOTTA GO.
FORGIVE ME?

BYE.

I'LL CALL THE COPS
FOR YOU.

YOU'VE GOT THE NUMBER
ON THE FRIDGE, RIGHT?

YOU JUST GIVE THEM
THE TIME THEY CALLED,

AND THEN THEY'RE KEEPING
THIS LIST, SUPPOSEDLY.

AND, JULIE...
I'M REALLY SORRY.

MY NERVES ARE
A LITTLE RAW THESE DAYS.

IT'S OK.

HA HA HA! YEAH.
I GOTTA GO.

MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

YOU PLAYED THAT GIRL.

IN THAT MOVIE.

WITH THE GUY WITH THE--FFT!

YEAH, SURE. THAT'S YOU.

THAT'S WHAT
I LOVE ABOUT THIS JOB.

I GET TO MEET THE STARS.

I'M HARDLY A STAR.

WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING?

I LOVE YOUR STUFF.

THE FIRST WAS THE BEST.

WHERE THE GIRLFRIEND'S CUT OPEN
AND DRAGGED ACROSS THE CEILING.

IT WAS AWESOME.

AND WHEN ALL THAT BLOOD COMES
OUT OF YOUR BOYFRIEND'S BED?

I THOUGHT I'D SHIT.

BUT THEY NEVER SHOULD
HAVE KILLED OFF FREDDY.

HEATHER, LOOK,
WE GOTTA GO.

CUTTING IT KIND
OF CLOSE, AREN'T YOU?

WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING
TO GET ME FIRED?

OK, OK, OK!
WE'RE COMING!

NO, NO, NO, NO!

SO, HEATHER,

WE'RE APPROACHING
THE 10th ANNIVERSARY

OF THIS WHOLE NIGHTMARE
ON ELM STREET THING.

I MEAN, THE ORIGINAL,
5 VERY POPULAR SEQUELS.

HOW HAS ALL THE SUCCESS
AFFECTED YOU PERSONALLY?

I DON'T KNOW
IF IT REALLY HAS, SAM.

I--
[LAUGHS] GOD.

WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF 1 AND 3,

I PRETTY MUCH STAYED
OUT OF IT, AND, UH...

WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M DOING
A LOT MORE TELEVISION NOW,

SO THOSE HOURS LET ME
SPEND A LOT MORE TIME

WITH MY HUSBAND
AND MY LITTLE BOY.

THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU HAVE A LITTLE BOY.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

DYLAN.

WITH DYLAN, DOES THAT
CHANGE YOUR FEELING,

YOUR PERSPECTIVE
ABOUT HORROR MOVIES?

NO, NOT REALLY.

I MEAN, WOULD YOU LET HIM
SEE ONE OF YOUR MOVIES?

MY SON? NO.

I'M SURE PEOPLE ASK YOU
THIS ALL THE TIME--

IS THERE GOING TO BE
ANOTHER SEQUEL,

AND WHAT'S MORE,

IS FREDDY REALLY DEAD?

OF COURSE HE IS.
FREDDY'S DEAD AND GONE.

AND HOW ABOUT YOUR
COSTAR IN THE ORIGINAL,

IN NIGHTMARE 1,

WOULD YOU TRUST HIM
ALONE WITH DYLAN?

ROBERT?
I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DON'T WE ASK HIM
HOW HE'D FEEL ABOUT IT?

WE'VE GOT A BIG SURPRISE
FOR YOU, HEATHER,

AND FOR OUR AUDIENCE.

LET'S BRING HIM OUT.

HE IS THE BEST
OF THE BAD.

LET'S SAY HELLO
TO ROBERT ENGLUND.

[APPLAUSE]

HA HA!
LOVE YA, BABE!

WE'LL DO LUNCH! HA!

I'M ALIVE ONCE AGAIN!

FREDDY'S BACK! GIVE IT UP
FOR YOUR UNCLE FREDDY!

HA HA HA!

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS
SAFE TO GET BACK INTO BED!

HA HA! HA HA!

GIVE ME 5!

HA HA HA HA!

I'M BACK,
AND I'M BADDER THAN EVER!

YEAH! YEAH!

Crowd:
FREDDY! FREDDY! FREDDY!

HA! YOU ARE
ALL MY CHILDREN NOW!

HA HA HA HA!

I GOT TO GO, ROBERT.

UM, JUST A SECOND.
I'LL WALK YOU.

THERE YOU GO, KIDS.

Child: THANK YOU.

BYE-BYE.

YOU OK?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

WELL, EVERYTHING
WENT GREAT, I THOUGHT.

WE REALLY GOT YOU,
DIDN'T WE?

I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME.

OH, COME ON. THEY LOVED
THE EXPRESSION

ON YOUR FACE.

I THINK THEY'D LIKE TO
SEE US TOGETHER AGAIN.

IN WHAT,
A ROMANTIC COMEDY?

JUST BECAUSE
IT'S A LOVE STORY

DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T
HAVE A DECAPITATION OR TWO.

Man: HEATHER.
THERE'S A CALL FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

LISTEN, I'LL TALK
TO YOU LATER.

BYE-BYE.
BYE-BYE.

HELLO?

HEATHER, IT'S SARA RISHER
OVER AT NEW LINE CINEMA.

HOW ARE YOU?

HI, SARA. HOW ARE YOU?

THIS IS A VOICE
FROM THE PAST.

IT SURE IS.

WELL, LISTEN, HEATHER,
I WON'T TAKE BUT A MINUTE.

IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVE
SOMETHING TO PROPOSE TO YOU,

AND I WONDER IF YOU'D
STOP BY THE OFFICES.

BOB WOULD LOVE
TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, SURE. WHEN?

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.
THE CAR WILL BRING YOU OVER.

NOW?

JUST TAKE A MINUTE.

YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID,
I BET. BYE.

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M HERE TO SEE
BOB SHAYE.

WAS BOB EXPECTING YOU?

HEATHER. HI.

SARA. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M FINE. HOW ARE YOU?

GREAT TO SEE YOU.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

THANK YOU.

BOB IS DYING TO SEE YOU.

CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK?

COFFEE WOULD BE FINE.

BLACK?
BLACK'S FINE.

KIM, COULD YOU
GET US SOME COFFEE?

SURE.
THANKS.

Bob: I THINK THE GUY IS
A LITTLE BIT OF A JERK,

BUT WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL
WE'VE READ THE SCRIPT.

ANYHOW, I'LL GIVE YOU
A CALL WHEN I--

HEY! LISTEN, MAN,
I GOT TO GO.

SEE YOU LATER, OK?
THANKS.

CALL ME WHEN YOU
GET TO MILAN,

AND DON'T FORGET--
RISOTTO CON TARTUFI.

IT'S FANTASTICO!

YEAH, TAKE CARE, MAN.
I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. BYE.

BOY, DO YOU LOOK GREAT,
HEATHER.

THANKS.

HOW ARE YOU?

GREAT. I'M FINE.

AND I DON'T HAVE TO ASK
HOW YOU'RE DOING.

WELL, SO FAR SO GOOD.
WHICH, BY THE WAY,

IS WHY WE ASKED YOU
TO COME BY TODAY.

AH, THANKS, KIM.

SURE.

LOOK, HEATHER, LET ME
CUT TO THE CHASE.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO JOIN US

IN THE DEFINITIVE
NIGHTMARE?

I THOUGHT YOU
KILLED FREDDY OFF.

WELL, WE DID,
BUT THE FANS,

YOU KNOW, THE FANS,
GOD BLESS THEM,

THEY'RE CLAMORING
FOR MORE.

I GUESS EVIL
NEVER DIES, RIGHT?

ANYHOW, A FEW WEEKS AGO,
I GOT A CALL FROM WES,

AND HE PITCHED ME THIS
REALLY EXCITING IDEA,

AND I STARTED THINKING,

"WHO BETTER TO RESURRECT
FREDDY THAN HIS CREATOR?"

WELL, I THOUGHT WES STOPPED
DOING HORROR MOVIES.

[SCOFFS] DO YOU KNOW
HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME

HE HADN'T CALLED ME
IN THE LAST 10 YEARS

BECAUSE HE HADN'T HAD ANY
REALLY SCARY NIGHTMARES?

THEY'RE HIS INSPIRATION
FOR THIS THING.

ANYHOW, HE'S--HE'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCRIPT.

WHICH MEANS HE'S
HAVING NIGHTMARES AGAIN.

WELL, HE'S VERY
EXCITED ABOUT IT.

THE NIGHTMARES?

NO, SWEETIE, THE SCRIPT.

AND YOU SHOULD BE, TOO,
BECAUSE...

YOU'RE THE STAR.

I DON'T KNOW, BOB.

I'M FLATTERED, REALLY,

BUT I HAVE A KID NOW,
AND...

WELL, SO?

SO I'M NOT SURE
ABOUT DOING HORROR.

OH, COME ON, HEATHER.
KIDS LOVE HORROR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOB.

I HAVE OTHER THINGS
HAPPENING.

HEATHER, LOOK, I PROMISE YOU

WE'LL MATCH ANY OFFER
THAT'S ON THE TABLE FOR YOU.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT.
IT'S...

LOOK, I HAVE A FAN.

HEATHER, YOU GOT
PLENTY OF FANS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING
MARKETING RESEARCH ON YOU.

YOU ARE RATING
RIGHT UP THERE.

LOOK, WE'VE GOT CHASE

WORKING ON A PROTOTYPE
FOR THE NEW GLOVE.

IT'S REALLY--
WHAT?

OK, I KNOW.

WE ASKED HIM TO KIND OF
KEEP IT AS A SURPRISE

UNTIL YOU AND I COULD
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.

BOB...

HOW LONG HAS WES BEEN
WORKING ON THIS SCRIPT?

I DON'T KNOW.
A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHY?

AND SINCE YOU'VE BEEN
THINKING OF MAKING IT,

HAS ANYTHING FUNNY
HAPPENED?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, LIKE...
WEIRD PHONE CALLS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

OR NIGHTMARES.

[RING]

WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER
YOUR PHONE, BOB?

[RING]

THAT'S WHAT WE GOT PEOPLE
WE PAY AROUND HERE FOR.

WILL SOMEONE PICK UP
THE DAMN PHONE?

[RING]

THANKS A LOT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[DYLAN SCREAMING]

DYLAN?

WHAT THE--

EEE!

[SCARY VOICE]
NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

[SCREAMING]

OH, WHAT IS GOING ON?

YOU DIDN'T LET HIM WATCH
THE MOVIE ON TV, DID YOU?

MOVIE? HE DIDN'T WATCH
ANYTHING ON TV.

HE WAS TAKING HIS NAP,
AND I HEARD HIM SCREAMING.

HONEY, ARE YOU OK?

MM-HMM.

REX SAVED ME.

HE DID?

[PANTING]

IS REX GOING TO DIE?

NO.

REX IS NOT GOING TO DIE.

I PROMISE YOU, SWEETIE.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE
THE SEWING STUFF IS

IN THE KITCHEN?

SURE.

WE'LL DO AN OPERATION, OK?

COME ON.

DR. DYLAN AND DR. JULIE.

FIX HIM UP
GOOD AS NEW, OK?

Man: HEY, CHASE.
YOU'VE GOT A CALL.

IT'S YOUR WIFE.

HEATHER.

CHASE, HI.

CHASE, YOU BETTER
COME HOME.

OH, HEATHER.
I'M STUCK HERE.

NEITHER CHUCK OR TERRY
CAME IN TODAY.

WHY? WHAT'S THE MATTER?

CHASE, IT'S DYLAN.

WHAT?

[STATIC]

HOLD ON. THE PHONE'S
BREAKING UP.

Chase: OK.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH DYLAN?

HE'S HAD SOME SORT
OF A...EPISODE.

WHAT?

WHAT KIND OF EPISODE?

HE WAS JUST ACTING
VERY STRANGELY.

LIKE SOMEBODY
WAS AFTER HIM.

IT'S SCARY.
IT SCARED ME.

HE WAS ACTING LIKE...

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE FREDDY.

HEATHER, HAS THERE BEEN
ANOTHER PHONE CALL?

CHASE,
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME

YOU WERE WORKING
ON A NEW GLOVE?

AND WHY AREN'T CHUCK
AND TERRY AT WORK TODAY?

FORGET THOSE CLOWNS,
HEATHER. ANSWER ME.

HAS THERE BEEN ANOTHER
PHONE CALL TODAY OR NOT?

YES.

[SIGHS]

OK.

I'M COMING HOME.

I'LL BE THERE
IN 3 HOURS.

[CLICK]

DANNY, I GOT TO GO.

WHAT'S UP, CHASE?

MY KID'S SICK.
I GOT TO FLY.

[TRUCK STARTS]

Heather: "AS SOON
AS THE SUN WAS UP,

"THE WITCH MADE GRETEL
FETCH THE WOOD

"AND KINDLE A FIRE.

"WE WILL BAKE COOKIES
FIRST, SHE SAID.

"I'VE HEATED THE OVEN
AND KNEADED THE DOUGH.

"CRAWL IN AND SEE IF THE FIRE
IS BLAZING HIGH ENOUGH NOW.

"AND SHE PUSHED GRETEL
TOWARD THE OVEN.

"THE WITCH WENT
TO SHUT THE DOOR

AND BAKE HER
ONCE SHE WAS INSIDE."

DYLAN, THIS IS SO VIOLENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU LIKE
THESE STUPID OLD FAIRY TALES.

FINISH, PLEASE.

THEY'RE GONNA
GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES.

I LIKE THIS STORY.

[SIGHS]

"BUT GRETEL GUESSED WHAT
THE WITCH WAS PLANNING.

"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
GET IN, GRETEL SAID.

"HOW AM I TO MANAGE IT?

"STUPID GIRL,
SHOUTED THE WITCH,

"RUSHING UP TO THE OVEN.

"THE OPENING IS BIG ENOUGH.
SEE? I CAN FIT MYSELF.

"THEN QUICKLY,
GRETEL CAME BEHIND

"AND PUSHED
WITH ALL HER MIGHT,

"PLUNGING THE WICKED OLD WOMAN
HEADLONG INTO THE FLAMES,

"BANGING THE DOOR SHUT
AND BOLTING IT TIGHT.

THE WITCH HOWLED..."

THAT'S ENOUGH.

"THE WITCH HOWLED
LIKE A SCALDED CAT,

"BUT GRETEL RAN

"AND LEFT HER THERE
TO PERISH NONETHELESS.

"SHE RAN TO HER BROTHER
AS FAST AS SHE COULD,

"FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR.
HANSEL! HANSEL, SHE CRIED.

WE'RE SAVED!
THE WITCH IS DEAD."

TIME FOR SLEEP.

SAY HOW THEY FIND
THEIR WAY BACK HOME.

TOMORROW NIGHT.

NO. TONIGHT.

IT'S IMPORTANT.

DYLAN, YOU KNOW
AS WELL AS I DO.

THEY FOLLOWED
THE TRAIL OF BREADCRUMBS

BACK TO THEIR HOUSE.

AND THEN THEIR FATHER
COVERED THEM WITH KISSES,

AND THEY WERE SAFE.

THEY WERE SAFE,
AND THEY COULD SLEEP.

COME ON.

WHAT IS THAT?

REX.

COME ON.

REX KEEPS HIM
DOWN THERE.

WHO?

THE MEAN OLD MAN
WITH THE CLAWS.

HE WANTS TO COME UP
WHILE WE SLEEP.

I KEEP MY FEET UP HERE.

REX KEEPS HIM
DOWN THERE.

HE'S MY GUARD.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
A GUARD, TOO.

DYLAN.

THERE'S NOTHING
DOWN THERE.

COME HERE.

LOOK. SEE?

IT'S DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU'RE GONE.

COME ON.

ON, PLEASE.

OK, SWEETIE.

NIGHT-NIGHT.

SLEEP TIGHT.

DON'T LET
THE BEDBUGS BITE.

DADDY COMING HOME?

HE'S ON HIS WAY.

HE CAN FOLLOW
THE BREADCRUMBS, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

IF THE BIRDS
DON'T EAT THEM FIRST.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

WILL YOU OPEN THE DOOR?

HEATHER LANGENKAMP?

I'M AFRAID IT'S WORSE
THAN THAT, MA'AM.

IS HE DEAD?

[STAMMERS]
YES, MA'AM.

OHH.

ARE YOU SURE IT'S HIM?

WE HAVE HIS EFFECTS.

YOU CAN CONFIRM

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE HIM
NOT BEING IN...

WELL, EXACTLY TOP SHAPE.

IT LOOKS LIKE...

HE WAS CLAWED.

YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S WHY WE
DON'T LIFT THE SHEET

♪ 1, 2, FREDDY'S
COMING FOR YOU ♪

WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?

DID YOU HEAR THAT
ON THAT MOVIE?

DID YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?

DYLAN, WHERE DID YOU
HEAR THAT SONG?

IN MY BED.

IN YOUR BED?

UNDER MY COVERS.

KIDS SINGING.

WAY DOWN THERE
WITH THE MAN,

THE MEAN MAN.

WHAT IS THAT MAN DOING?

TRYING TO GET UP.

TRYING TO GET UP
INTO OUR WORLD.

[GASPS] DYLAN!

[WATER RUNNING]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

WHERE'S DADDY NOW?

DADDY'S IN HEAVEN.

HE'S WITH GOD NOW.

DO YOU HAVE TO...

DIE TO SEE GOD?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK YOU HAVE TO PRAY.

AND REACH OUT.

WHY DOES GOD LET THERE
BE BAD THINGS?

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW,
HONEY.

PLEASE TRY TO
GET SOME SLEEP.

CAN YOU COME WITH ME
IN MY DREAMS?

I THINK THAT ONLY
HAPPENS IN THE MOVIES.

BUT I'LL ALWAYS,
ALWAYS...

BE RIGHT HERE
WHEN YOU GET BACK.

AND I'LL MAKE SURE

THAT NOBODY
GETS YOUR TOES.

UH-HUH.

Heather: I KNOW
HIS BEHAVIOR IS BIZARRE...

BUT HE'S USUALLY SO NORMAL
AND WELL ADJUSTED, JOHN,

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
IT'S HIM

AND NOT SOMETHING OUTSIDE
INFLUENCING HIM.

OR IS THAT
HOW DENIAL WORKS?

WELL, IT IS DENIAL.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S THE CASE HERE.

LOOK, IF YOU'RE REALLY
WORRIED ABOUT DYLAN,

HAVE A DOCTOR
CHECK HIM OUT.

YOU'LL SEE.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.

YOU'RE NOT JUST
SAYING THAT

TO HELP A CRAZY
FRIEND COPE, ARE YOU?

[SIGHS]

EVERYTHING ABOUT
DYLAN'S BEHAVIOR

IS UNDERSTANDABLE

FOR A KID WHO JUST
LOST HIS FATHER.

HOW DOES A CHILD PROCESS
A THING LIKE THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[BICYCLE BELL RINGS]

I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE

TO PROCESS IT
VERY WELL MYSELF.

AND YOU'RE NOT CRAZY,
BY THE WAY.

SEEING FREDDY IN THAT GRAVE
FEELS PRETTY CRAZY

AND THEN JUMPING IN--

YOU DIDN'T JUMP IN.

THAT'S MY MEMORY.

IT SEEMED
ABSOLUTELY REAL.

"SEEMED," NOT "WAS."

IT'S...

IT'S IN MY FAMILY,
YOU KNOW.

WHAT IS?

A VERY CLOSE RELATIVE
DIED IN AN INSTITUTION.

REALLY? WELL,
IF HAVING A SCREWY FAMILY

MADE A PERSON CRAZY,

THE WHOLE WORLD
WOULD BE ONE BIG LOONY BIN.

[CHUCKLES]

YOU HAVE A CRAZED FAN
AFTER YOU.

THAT'S WHAT'S
MAKING YOU CRAZY.

AND PROBABLY DYLAN, TOO.

I NEVER MENTIONED
THAT TO HIM.

KIDS KNOW.

KIDS KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S
BUGGING THE PARENT.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHO THIS IS CALLING?

FREDDY, FOR ALL I KNOW.

COME ON.

HE'S A MAN.

OR A BOY WITH
A DEEP, YOU KNOW...

FREDDY VOICE.

6 WEEKS OF THIS,

AND YOU'RE SURPRISED
YOU GOT FREDDY IN YOUR DREAMS?

HELL, SONNY BONO,
AFTER A WHILE,

BEGAN SEEING
HIS STALKER EVERYWHERE,

EVEN AT MASS.

REALLY?

AND HOW MANY TIMES
DID LETTERMAN CALL THE COPS,

THINKING THAT WOMAN WAS DOWN
IN THE KITCHEN AGAIN?

YEAH.

REALLY GETS UNDER
YOUR SKIN IF YOU...

IF YOU LET IT.

YOU REALLY THINK
DYLAN'S OK?

DYLAN'S FINE.

YOU'RE FINE.

YOU'RE HURTING,
BUT YOU'RE FINE,

AND YOU'RE DEFINITELY
NOT CRAZY.

MY WORST FEAR--

THAT WHATEVER MADNESS
IS IN MY FAMILY

I HAVE...

AND I'VE PASSED IT
ONTO DYLAN.

Heather:
DYLAN!

HEATHER!
DYLAN!

MAKE SURE HE'S OK, JOHN.

YEAH.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

DYLAN!
OH, MY GOD.

ARE YOU OK? HUH?

ARE YOU SURE?
DOES ANYTHING HURT?

DYLAN,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

HONEY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
ARE YOU SURE?

GOD WOULDN'T TAKE ME.

OH, MY GOD.
OH, HONEY.

John:
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

[CAR DRIVES BY]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[BEEP]

YEAH?

ROBERT.

HEATHER,
YOU DOING ALL RIGHT?

HANGING IN THERE.

YOU KNOW THE GUY THAT WAS
CALLING ME ALL THE TIME?

HE STARTED AGAIN,

AND HE'S PUTTING STUFF
IN MY MAIL AGAIN.

OH, LISTEN, THE S.O.B.

PROBABLY READ ABOUT
THE FUNERAL

IN THE PAPERS
OR SOMETHING.

SICK MOTHER.

THAT'S THE LAST THING
YOU NEED RIGHT NOW,

I'M SURE.

ACTUALLY, IT'S BEEN GIVING ME
FREDDY NIGHTMARES.

WAIT A SECOND. NOW,
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU'RE HAVING NIGHTMARES
ABOUT FREDDY?

AS IN ME?

NO. IT ISN'T YOU.

HE'S SCARIER.

HE'S...

DARKER?

MORE EVIL?

YEAH.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

CALL IT A GUESS.

PRETTY DAMN GOOD GUESS.

ANYWAY WHAT
I WAS CALLING ABOUT WAS,

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY
OF THE SCRIPT BY ANY CHANCE?

NO. WES WON'T SHOW IT
UNTIL HE'S FINISHED.

AT LEAST THAT'S
WHAT HE TOLD ME.

WELL, WHEN IS IT
GONNA BE DONE?

[LAUGHING]
THE WAY HE'S WRITING,

WHO KNOWS?

IT'S SO WEIRD.

I ASKED HIM HOW FAR
HE WAS AT THE FUNERAL.

WHAT DID HE SAY?
OH, YEAH.

"AS FAR AS DYLAN
TRYING TO REACH GOD."

WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

WEIRD, HUH?

PUTTING YOUR KID
IN THE SCRIPT.

ROBERT...

HAVE YOU BEEN
HAVING NIGHTMARES?

[BIRD CAWING]

LOOK, WE NEED TO TALK,
BUT NOT OVER THE PHONE.

CAN I COME OVER?

UM, ACTUALLY,
HEATHER, UH...

TODAY'S NO GOOD.
THERE'S, UM...

THERE'S SOMETHING
I HAVE TO FINISH.

TOMORROW MAYBE, HUH?

OK, TOMORROW.
BUT EARLY IN THE MORNING.

AND MEANWHILE, ROBERT,
TAKE CARE, OK?

YEAH. SURE.

ANY HISTORY OF EPILEPSY

NO.

WAS THERE

YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN HIM

ANY OF THE FILMS
YOU'VE MADE, HAVE YOU?

THE HORROR STUFF?

HIS FATHER
JUST PASSED AWAY.

I'M SORRY.

BUT I'M CONVINCED
THOSE FILMS CAN TIP...

AN UNSTABLE CHILD
OVER THE EDGE.

UNSTABLE?

DYLAN'S NOT UNSTABLE.

HE'S JUST UPSET.

WELL, WE'LL RUN
A BATTERY OF TESTS,

AND WE'LL KNOW
IN A FEW DAYS.

DOES HE HAVE TO
STAY OVERNIGHT?

ABSOLUTELY.

Woman on P.A.:
DR. DEGRASI...

ANYTHING MORE HAPPEN
WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?

LIKE WHAT?

SOMETIMES
WHAT A CHILD SAYS

OR FANTASIZES

WILL GIVE A CLUE

DID HE SAY ANYTHING
WHILE HE WAS STILL LUCID?

NO.

WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

TOO SOON TO KNOW

THE EARLY SYMPTOMS POINT
TO CHILDHOOD SCHIZOPHRENIA.

DYLAN,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

DYLAN,
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT,

WHATEVER IT IS
THAT'S AFTER YOU,

AND YOU GOT TO
COME BACK TO ME.

YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ALONE.
DO YOU HEAR?

IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME

WHAT YOU NEED
TO FEEL SAFE.

REX? IS THAT
WHAT YOU WANT?

WELL, REX IS AT HOME,

AND THAT'S WHERE
YOU SHOULD BE.

BUT YOU GOT TO
GET BETTER

BEFORE THEY'LL
LET YOU COME HOME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

HOME.

HOME.
HOME, THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S WHERE
I WANT YOU, SWEETIE.

AND, YOU KNOW,
WE'RE NOT THAT FAR AWAY.

LOOK.
LOOK RIGHT OUT THERE.

PAST THE FREEWAY
IS OUR HOME.

BUT TO GET THERE,

YOU HAVE TO COME OUT
FROM WHERE YOU ARE

SO THAT THEY'LL LET YOU
COME HOME TO REX.

AND TO ME.

TIME FOR YOUR MEDICINE,
COWBOY.

HERE YOU GO.

WHAT IS THAT?

SOMETHING
TO HELP HIM SLEEP.

OK.

THERE YOU GO.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

THERE YOU GO.

GOOD. GOOD. ATTABOY.

COME ON, NOW LIE DOWN
AND TAKE A LITTLE NAP.

YOU SHOULD
GET SOME REST, TOO.

HE'S GOING TO BE FINE.
WE'RE GONNA DO SOME TESTS,

AND THEN YOU CAN
COME BACK LATER.

CAN YOU GET THAT
OTHER SIDE, PLEASE?

I GRABBED HIS THINGS.

THESE ARE HIS FAVORITE
PAJAMAS HERE.

UM...HONEY,
I'VE GOT TO GO.

I LOVE YOU, DYLAN.

REMEMBER WHAT I SAID.

WE'LL TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.

GOOD-BYE.

ARE SPECULATING

THERE MIGHT BE
AN UNKNOWN FAULT

RUNNING BENEATH
LOS ANGELES,

A FAULT THAT COULD--

[SHUTS OFF RADIO]

[BEEP]

[DIALING]

[LINE RINGS]

Robert: HI. YOU'VE REACHED
THE ENGLUND RESIDENCE.

WE'RE OUT OF TOWN.

YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE
IF YOU WISH, BUT, UH...

WE'LL BE GONE
FOR SOME TIME.

I WISH I COULD TELL YOU
WHERE THE SCRIPT WAS GOING.

THE FACT IS
I DON'T KNOW.

NO, I...I DREAM
A SCENE AT NIGHT,

I WRITE IT DOWN
IN THE MORNING.

BEYOND THAT, YOUR GUESS IS AS
GOOD AS MINE WHERE IT'S GOING.

WELL, AT LEAST TELL ME
WHAT IT'S ABOUT SO FAR.

COFFEE.

THANKS.

I CAN TELL YOU

WHAT THE NIGHTMARE'S
ABOUT SO FAR.

IT'S ABOUT THIS ENTITY--

WHATEVER YOU WANT
TO CALL IT.

IT'S OLD. IT'S VERY OLD.

[SIGHS] IT'S EXISTED
IN DIFFERENT FORMS

IN DIFFERENT TIMES.

ABOUT THE ONLY THING
THAT STAYS THE SAME

IS WHAT IT LIVES FOR,
REALLY.

WHAT IS THAT?

OH, THE MURDER
OF INNOCENTS.

THIS IS STILL A SCRIPT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,

RIGHT, WES?

YEAH, WELL,
I SORT OF THINK OF IT

AS A NIGHTMARE
IN PROGRESS.

WELL, IN THIS NIGHTMARE
IN PROGRESS THEN,

DOES THIS THING
HAVE ANY WEAKNESSES?

YEAH, WELL, IT CAN BE
CAPTURED SOMETIMES.

CAPTURED? HOW?

BY STORYTELLERS,
OF ALL THINGS.

I MEAN,
EVERY SO OFTEN,

THEY IMAGINE A STORY
GOOD ENOUGH

TO SORT OF
CATCH ITS ESSENCE.

AND THEN, FOR A WHILE

IT'S HELD PRISONER
IN THE STORY.

LIKE THE GENIE
IN THE BOTTLE.

EXACTLY. EXACTLY.

BUT THE PROBLEM COMES
WHEN THE STORY DIES.

AND THAT CAN HAPPEN
IN A LOT OF WAYS.

IT CAN GET
TOO FAMILIAR TO PEOPLE

OR SOMEBODY
WATERS IT DOWN

TO MAKE IT AN EASIER
SELL, YOU KNOW, OR...

MAYBE IT'S JUST
SO UPSETTING TO SOCIETY

THAT
IT'S BANNED OUTRIGHT.

HOWEVER IT HAPPENS,
WHEN THE STORY DIES,

THE EVIL IS SET FREE.

YOU'RE SAYING FREDDY

IS THIS ANCIENT THING?

RIGHT.
THE CURRENT VERSION.

AND FOR 10 YEARS,

HE'S BEEN HELD CAPTIVE
PRETTY MUCH AS FREDDY

IN THE NIGHTMARE ON
ELM STREET SERIES,

BUT...

NOW THAT THE FILMS
HAVE ENDED,

THE GENIE'S
OUT OF THE BOTTLE.

THAT'S WHAT THE NIGHTMARES
ARE TELLING ME.

THAT'S WHAT I'M WRITING.

WELL, IF FREDDY IS LOOSE
IN YOUR SCRIPT,

WHERE'S HE GONNA GO?

ANOTHER AGE?
ANOTHER FORM?

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT
THE DREAMS HAVE HIM DOING.

WHAT IS HE DOING?

HE'S SORT OF GOTTEN USED
TO BEING FREDDY NOW,

AND HE LIKES
OUR TIME AND SPACE,

SO HE'S DECIDED
TO CROSS OVER

OUT OF FILMS
INTO OUR REALITY.

ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY
WHO CAN STOP HIM?

ACTUALLY THERE IS
A PERSON IN THE DREAM,

SORT OF A GATEKEEPER,
SO TO SPEAK.

SOMEBODY THAT
FREDDY HAS TO GET BY

BEFORE HE CAN COME
THROUGH INTO OUR WORLD.

THAT PERSON'S YOU,
HEATHER.

IT'S ME?

YEAH.

WHY ME?

WELL,
DRAMATICALLY SPEAKING,

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

YOU PLAYED NANCY,
AFTER ALL,

AND YOU WERE THE FIRST
TO HUMILIATE HIM,

DEFEAT HIM.

THAT WAS NANCY, WES.
THAT'S NOT ME.

YEAH, BUT IT WAS YOU THAT
GAVE NANCY HER STRENGTH.

SO IN ORDER TO GET OUT,

HE'S GOT TO
COME THROUGH YOU.

AND IT'S INEVITABLE

THAT HE'S GONNA
TRY TO DO THAT

AT YOUR MOST
VULNERABLE POINTS.

OH, MY GOD, WES.

DID YOU KNOW?

IT--IT WAS A SCRIPT.
IT WAS A DREAM.

I DIDN'T--
I DIDN'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL
IT'S MORE THAN THAT NOW.

WES.

WES?

HOW CAN WE STOP HIM?

I THINK THE ONLY WAY
TO STOP HIM

IS TO MAKE
ANOTHER MOVIE.

NOW I SWEAR TO YOU,

I'M GONNA STAY
BY THIS COMPUTER

AND KEEP WRITING UNTIL
I FINISH THE SCRIPT, BUT...

WHEN THAT TIME COMES,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO MAKE A CHOICE.

CHOICE?

WHAT KIND OF CHOICE?

WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE
WILLING TO PLAY NANCY

ONE LAST TIME.

"MANY OF THE SYMPTOMS

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHO THIS IS CALLING?

FREDDY,
FOR ALL I KNOW.

AS IN ME?

NO, IT ISN'T YOU.
HE'S SCARIER.

DARKER, MORE EVIL?

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

HE'S DECIDED
TO CROSS OVER,

OUT OF FILMS,
INTO OUR REALITY.

NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

THE WORLD OF HORROR FILMS

SUFFERED ITS OWN TERROR TODAY,

AS 2 OF HOLLYWOOD'S BEST KNOWN
SPECIAL-EFFECTS TECHNICIANS

WERE FOUND DEAD

IN A VACANT FIELD.

TERRANCE FEINSTEIN
AND CHARLES WILSON,

2 SPECIAL-EFFECTS ARTISTS

REPUTEDLY WORKING
ON A TOP-SECRET PROJECT

FOR THE MAKERS OF
THE FREDDY KRUEGER FILMS

WERE FOUND BRUTALLY SLASHED
TO DEATH EARLY THIS MORNING.

[RUMBLING]

FREDDY'S GLOVE WAS MISSING,

AND POLICE ARE SPECULATING
THE MURDERS WERE THE RESULT

OF A BOTCHED THEFT,
WHICH APPARENTLY TOOK PLACE

2 DAYS AGO. AT THIS POINT,

Nurse: THERE ARE NO
VISITING HOURS THIS LATE.

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND.

Julie:
NO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I TOLD YOU
I'M HIS BABY-SITTER.

I'M A CLOSE FRIEND
OF THE FAMILY, DAMN IT.

I JUST NEED TO SEE HIM
FOR A MINUTE.

60 SECONDS. COME ON.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

JULIE?

HEATHER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I HAD THIS REALLY TERRIBLE
DREAM ABOUT DYLAN.

I HAD TO COME
AND SEE HIM.

YOU MUST THINK
I'M CRAZY.

NO, I DON'T.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.
THEY WOULDN'T LET ME IN.

MISS LANGENKAMP.

I'M AFRAID THERE ARE

NO EVENING VISITING HOURS
IN INTENSIVE CARE.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

DYLAN?
HE'S HOLDING WELL.

EARLIER
HE HAD SOME PROBLEMS.

HE'S IN
AN OXYGEN TENT NOW.

OH, MY GOD.
HEATHER.

SEEMS WE'VE HAD
AN ACCIDENT,

MISS LANGENKAMP. MAY I?

THOSE ARE NASTY CUTS.

HOW DID YOU GET THEM?

IT HAPPENED
IN THE EARTHQUAKE.

I FELL.

I NEED TO SEE DYLAN.

IN A MOMENT.
FIRST LET'S SEE ABOUT YOU.

IF THESE HAD BEEN
A FEW INCHES

NEARER THE WRIST...

WHAT DID YOU SAY
YOU CUT YOURSELF ON?

IT WAS THE EARTHQUAKE.
IT WAS DARK. I HAVE NO IDEA.

BUT THESE LOOK
QUITE FRESH.

THEY ARE. IT HAPPENED
IN TONIGHT'S EARTHQUAKE.

IT HAPPENED
JUST 15 MINUTES AGO.

YOU MUST HAVE FELT IT.

GUESS WE LUCKED OUT
OVER HERE.

YOUR SON...

IS APPARENTLY
TERRIFIED OF A MAN--

SOMEONE HE THINKS

IS GOING TO COME
OUT OF HIS BED.

ONE OF THE NURSES HEARD
HIM TALKING TO HIMSELF.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO THAT MAN IS,

MISS LANGENKAMP?

I FORGOT TO BRING
HIS DINOSAUR REX.

HE KEEPS FREDDY FROM
COMING UP OUT OF HIS--

BED.

THE MAN FROM YOUR FILMS?

FREDDY KRUEGER?

WITH THE CLAWS?

IS THAT WHO
HE'S AFRAID OF?

YOU HAVE LET YOUR CHILD SEE
YOUR FILMS, HAVEN'T YOU?

EVERY KID KNOWS WHO FREDDY IS.

HE'S LIKE SANTA CLAUS...

OR KING KONG OR...

YES.

WELL, INTERESTING TALKING
WITH YOU, MISS LANGENKAMP.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

MY CONCERNS ARE SIMPLY
FOR THE WELFARE OF YOUR SON.

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

HOW'S HE DOING?

[BEEP]

DYLAN.

HONEY.

YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT.

TOO LATE.

I'M ALMOST THERE,
HEATHER.

ALMOST THERE.

DADDY!

DYLAN!

DOCTOR!

KEEP HER RIGHT THERE.

Nurse: WE CAN'T HOLD HIM
MUCH LONGER, DOCTOR.

GET THE FULL
ANESTHETIC, STAT.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT
HERE, DOCTOR.

NO ANESTHETIC,
YOU SAY?

SCREW IT, THEN.
I'M GOING IN.

LITTLE BOOGER'S FULL OF
SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE.

LET'S GET HIM OPEN,
GOOD AND PROPER.

CUT THIS EVIL
OUT OF HIM.

HA!

NO, NO!

GLORIA!

HE'S GOT MY BABY!
WHO?

FREDDY!

WHO? FREDDY KRUEGER
OR SOMETHING?

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

MY BABY!

FREDDY'S GOT MY BABY.
HE'S GOT MY DYLAN.

MISS LANGENKAMP!

I SUGGEST YOU GO HOME
AND GET SOME REST.

YOUR SON IS FINE.

HE'S DOWNSTAIRS
FOR FURTHER TESTING.

BUT HE WAS JUST HERE.

HE WAS HERE,
YOU FELL ASLEEP,

WE TOOK HIM.

YOU LOOKED SO EXHAUSTED,

FRANKLY, WE DIDN'T WANT
TO WAKE YOU.

BESIDES, THE YOUNG WOMAN
JULIE IS WITH HIM.

THAT'S HIS BABY-SITTER,
RIGHT?

BELIEVE ME.
EVERYTHING IS FINE.

EVERYTHING'S NOT FINE.

DAMN!

LITTLE BOY'S DOING.

HE'S FINE, ACTUALLY.

HE JUST CAME AROUND
ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO.

HE SEEMS TO BE SUFFERING

FROM ACUTE
SLEEP DEPRIVATION.

[WHISPERING]
I don't think

she ever lets him
get a night's sleep.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WHERE IS HE?

HEATHER.

I'VE GOT SOMEONE HERE
WHO WANTS TO SEE YOU.

Heather: DYLAN.

OH, DYLAN, OH.

ARE YOU OK, CHAMP?

CAN WE GO GET REX NOW?

THE BAD MAN'S GETTING
AWFUL CLOSE.

I KNOW HE IS.

WE'RE GONNA GO

I'M AFRAID DYLAN SHOULD
STAY HERE UNTIL WE KNOW

WHAT'S CAUSING THESE
EPISODES, MISS LANGENKAMP.

I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.

GOOD.

LOOK, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I'M GONNA GO HOME AND GET
REX FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW THAT HOME ISN'T
FAR FROM HERE, RIGHT?

RIGHT ACROSS
THE FREEWAY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO I WON'T BE GONE LONG,

AND JULIE, SHE'S GONNA STAY
RIGHT HERE WITH YOU.

YEAH, YOU BET.

HURRY UP, PLEASE.

I'M SLEEPY.

I PROMISE.
CROSS MY HEART.

BUT, DYLAN,

UNTIL MOMMY GETS BACK,

WHATEVER YOU DO,

DON'T FALL ASLEEP.

JULIE, DON'T LET HIM
OUT OF YOUR SIGHT.

WHAT'S GOING ON
HERE?

YOUR HAIR'S
TURNING GRAY.

JULIE, KEEP HIM AWAKE.

UNDERSTAND?

EXCUSE ME, MISS.

WOULD YOU COME WITH US
FOR A SECOND?

WHAT? HEY!

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!

[WHISPERING]

DO YOU MIND?
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

JUST A QUICK WORD,
MISS LANGENKAMP,

FOR DYLAN'S SAKE.

WELL, WE'VE HAD
AN EXCITING DAY,

HAVEN'T WE, MISS LANGENKAMP?

[DOOR CLOSES]

THIS ONE?

RIGHT THERE.

1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.

YOU WON.

WOULD YOU MIND STEPPING OUTSIDE
FOR JUST ONE MOMENT, MISS?

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I WOULD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT'S JUST A LITTLE SHOT
TO SEE THAT HE GETS SOME SLEEP.

NO. HIS MOTHER
SPECIFICALLY SAID--

I SAID NO.

DO IT.

OW!

ALL DONE.

HE'LL BE ASLEEP IN NO TIME.

WOULD YOU MIND
LETTING GO OF MY ARM?

YOU BITCH!

HEY, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

WELL, I KNOW
WHAT'S IN THAT ONE.

SO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT'S IN THIS ONE?

OR WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO YOU

WHEN I STICK YOU
WITH IT?

AND I WILL.

AAH!

OH, NO, NO, DYLAN.

I WANT YOU TO STAY AWAKE, OK?

I WANT YOU TO KEEP YOUR EYES
OPEN FOR ME, OK?

MISS LANGENKAMP.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY USE

OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS
IN YOUR FAMILY?

WHAT?

OR ANY HISTORY
OF MENTAL DISTURBANCE?

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING?

PLEASE,
DON'T TAKE IT WRONG.

IF THERE WAS,
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE

DYLAN COULD BE SUFFERING FROM
SOMETHING PASSED DOWN TO HIM.

HAVE YOU BEEN SUFFERING
FROM ANY DELUSIONAL EVENTS,

MISS LANGENKAMP?

MM-MMM.

THIS MAN FROM YOUR FILMS...

FREDDY KRUEGER.

HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING HIM?

NO.

WOULD YOU GET THOSE
KEYS DOWN HERE?

DYLAN, I WANT YOU
TO STAY AWAKE.

COME ON, STAY AWAKE.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR ME.

WHERE'S MOMMY?

SHE'LL BE BACK.
NOW STAY AWAKE.

THERE ARE DRUGS AND TREATMENTS,
MISS LANGENKAMP.

WE COULD PUT DYLAN IN
FOSTER CARE FOR A SHORT WHILE.

JUST LONG ENOUGH TO RUN
SOME TESTS ON YOU.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
DO THAT FOR ME, OK?

COME ON.
YOU CAN STAY AWAKE.

STAY AWAKE FOR ME, DYLAN.

I WANT YOU
TO STAY AWAKE, OK?

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

DYLAN,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

JULIE, BEHIND YOU.

THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

DYLAN, WHAT'S WRONG?

DYLAN, STOP IT.
YOU'RE SCARING ME.

DYLAN.

I WANT MY SON OUT
OF HERE RIGHT NOW.

VERY WELL.

AS SOON AS WE CAN GATHER
THE APPROPRIATE PAPERS.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IF DYLAN
FALLS ASLEEP, THEN--

[JULIE SCREAMS]

I GOT IT.

AAH!

AAH! NO!

AAH! DYLAN,
GET OUT OF HERE!

HEY, DYLAN.

EVER PLAY SKIN THE CAT?

Julie: OH, NO, NO!

COME ON.

HELP ME.

JULIE!

[FREDDY LAUGHS]

AAH!

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?

YOU CAN'T GO
IN THERE. NO.

HE'S WANDERING AROUND

OR HE'S HEADED FOR THE HOUSE,

BUT I THINK FREDDY'S AFTER HIM.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS
SO CRAZY, BUT--

YOU'RE RIGHT.

"THE MORE SHE READ,
THE MORE SHE REALIZED

"THAT EVERYTHING SHE HAD
EXPERIENCED AND THOUGHT

WAS BOUND
WITHIN THESE PAGES."

"TO PLAY NANCY ONE LAST TIME.

"AT LAST FREDDY'S BACK
WHERE HE BELONGS.

REGARDS, WES."

IS IT A STORY?

YEAH.

IT'S A STORY.

READ ME SOME.

"WE OPEN ON AN OLD
WOODEN BENCH.

"THERE'S FIRE AND TOOLS

"AND A MAN'S
GRIMY HANDS BUILDING

"WHAT SOON IS REVEALED
AS A GLEAMING SET OF CLAWS.

"AND THE CLAWS
ARE MOVING NOW,

"AS IF AWAKENING FROM
A LONG AND UNWANTED SLEEP.

"THEN THE MAN LAYS ONE TREMBLING
HAND FLAT UPON THE TABLE,

"AND WITH HIS OTHER PICKS UP
A THICK, SHARP BLADE.

"BEHIND THE LIGHTS,
FACES WATCH FROM THE DARKNESS--

READY TO LAUGH
OR SCREAM IN TERROR."
