"Tina!" "Tina..." "You OK, Tina?" "Just a dream, Ma." "Some dream, judging from that." "You coming back to the sack or what?" "Hold your horses." "Tina, honey, you got to cut your fingernails... or you got to stop that kind of dreaming." "One or the other." "One... two..." "Freddy's coming for you." "Three... four..." "Better lock your door." "Five... six..." "Grab your crucifix." "Seven... eight..." "Gonna stay up late." "Nine... ten..." "Never sleep again..." "It was so scary." "When I woke up... it seemed like he was still in the room with me." "Sounds like a real bogeyman." ""One... two..." "Freddy's coming for you."" "That's what it reminded me of..." "that old jump rope song." "It was the worst nightmare I ever had." "You wouldn't believe it." "As a matter of fact, I had a bad dream last night myself." "I had a hard-on this morning when I woke up, Tina." "Had your name written all over it." "There's four letters in my name, Rod." "How could there be room on your joint for four letters?" "Hey!" "Up yours with a twirling lawnmower." "Rod says the sweetest things." "He's nuts about you." "Yeah, nuts." "Anyway..." "I couldn't go back to sleep last night." "So, what did you dream?" "Forget it, Tina." "The point is that everyone has a bad dream once in a while." "It's no biggie." "Next time you're having one, just tell yourself... that's all it is right while you're having it." "Once you do that, you wake right up." "At least, it works for me." "Did you have a nightmare, too?" "Maybe we're going to have a big earthquake." "They say things get really weird just before." "I'm so glad you guys could come over tonight." "When my mom said she was taking off for two days, I almost died." "No problem, Tina." "Nancy and Glen to the rescue." "I can't believe his mother's letting him spend the night." "Right, well... she's not exactly." "See, I got this cousin who lives near the airport." "It's OK for me to stay with him." "And I got this sound effects tape from Rod..." "Hello, Mom?" "Yeah." "Out here at Barry's." "Yeah, noisy as usual." "Glad we don't live here, huh?" "Aunt Eunice says hello." "I'll call you in the morning." "Yeah, sure..." "Just some kids drag racing outside, I think, Mom." "Listen, Mom." "I gotta go." "I think there's been an accident out front." "All right, I'll call the police." "I'll call the police!" "Just some neighbours having a fight, I guess." "I'm fine." "I'll call you in the morning." "It worked like a charm." "Smooth." "Jesus." "See?" "I told you you'd be feeling better." "All day long I've been seeing that guy's weird face... and hearing those fingernails." "Fingernails?" "That's amazing you saying that." "That made me remember the dream I had last night." "What did you dream?" "I dreamed about a guy in a dirty red and green sweater." "What about the fingernails?" "He scraped his fingernails along things." "Actually, they were more like finger-knives... something he made himself." "But they made a horrible sound." "It was like..." "You dreamed about the same creep I did." "That's impossible." "What?" "Nothing." "There's something out there, isn't there?" "I didn't hear anything." "I heard something." "I'm going to punch out your lights, whoever you are." "Kitty, kitty." "Chow, chow, chow?" "It's Rod Lane bringing Lantz down... just three yards from the goal line!" "What a brilliant tackle, and the fans go wild!" "What the hell are you doing here?" "Came to make up." "No big deal." "Your mom home?" "Of course." "What's that?" "Intense, huh?" "What's going on here, an orgy or something?" "Maybe a funeral, dickhead." "It's just a sleep-over date, Rod." "Tina and me." "Glen was just leaving." "Did you see his face?" "Your mom ain't home, is she?" "Me and Tina got stuff to discuss." "We got her mother's bed." "You guys got the rest." "I think we should get out of here." "You guys are going to hang around, right?" "Don't leave me alone with this lunatic." "Please, Nancy?" "Glen, not now." "We're here for Tina now, not ourselves." "Why is she so bothered by a stupid nightmare anyway?" "Because he was scary, that's why!" "Morality sucks." "I knew there was something about you I liked." "You feel better now?" "Jungle man fix Jane." "No more fights?" "No more fights." "No more nightmares for either one of us, then." "When did you have a nightmare?" "Guys can have nightmares, too, you know." "You ain't got a corner on the market." "Who do you think you are?" "Whoever you are." "Somebody there?" "Who the hell is that?" "Shit." "Please, God..." "This... is God." "Watch this." "Nancy!" "Open the door!" "Rod, help me!" "Help me, Rod!" "Who did this?" "I'll kill you!" "Who did this?" "You scared me!" "What have you got?" "Her name was Tina Gray." "It was her home." "Father abandoned, 10 years ago." "Mother's in Vegas with a boyfriend." "We're trying to reach her now." "What's the coroner got?" "Something like a razor was the weapon... but nothing was found at the scene." "It looks like the victim's boyfriend." "Lieutenant, where is she?" "I put her in your office." "His name's Rod Lane." "He's a musician type." "He's been arrested for drugs, brawling." "Terrific." "What the hell was she doing there?" "She lived there." "I don't mean her." "I mean you." "What was she doing there?" "Hello to you, too, Donald." "Marge." "OK." "How you doing, baby?" "I'm OK, Dad." "Look, I don't want to get into this now." "God knows you need time." "But I sure would like to know what the hell you were doing... shacking up with three kids in the middle of the night... especially a lunatic delinquent like Lane." "Rod is not a lunatic, Dad." "You have a sane explanation for what he did?" "Apparently, he was crazy jealous." "Nancy said they'd had a fight." "It wasn't that serious." "Maybe you don't think murder is serious." "How can you say I don't take her death seriously?" "Look, all I meant... was that their fights weren't that serious." "You know Tina dreamed this was going to happen." "What?" "She'd had a nightmare that someone was trying to kill her." "That's why we were there, Mom." "She just didn't want to sleep alone." "Police say the victim,  15-year-old Christina Gray...  had quarrelled earlier with her boyfriend Rod Lane." "Lane is now the subject of a citywide manhunt." "The murder weapon...  a straight razor or similar sharp object, has not yet..." "Where do you think you're going?" "To school." "Honey, you were tossing and turning all night last night." "You have no business going to school today." "I've got to go to school, Mother." "Otherwise, I'll sit up there and go crazy." "Did you sleep?" "I'll sleep in study hall." "I'd rather keep busy." "Right home after?" "Right home after." "See you." "I'm not going to hurt you!" "They're going to kill me for sure." "Nobody's going to kill you." "Did you do it?" "I never touched her." "You were screaming like crazy." "There was somebody else there." "The door was locked from your side!" "Don't look at me like I'm some fucking fruitcake!" "I'm warning you!" "Just move away from her, son." "Real easy, like your ass depended on it." "Hold it!" "Jesus Christ!" "Hold it right there!" "Watch it!" "I'm cool!" "I got him." "On the ground!" "Now!" "Come on!" "Get down!" "Lieutenant, look at this!" "A switchblade!" "I didn't do it!" "I didn't kill her, Nancy!" "Daddy?" "You used me." "What the hell were you doing... going to school today for anyway?" "Let go of my arm!" "What is seen is not always what is real." "According to Shakespeare, there was something operating... in nature, perhaps inside human nature itself, that was rotten." ""A canker," as he put it." "Of course, Hamlet's response to this... and to his mother's lies was to continually probe and dig." "Just like the gravediggers... always trying to get beneath the surface." "The same is true in a different way... in Julius Caesar." "John, will you go ahead, please?" ""In the most high and palmy state of Rome..." "A little ere the mightiestJulius fell." "The grave stood tenantless... and the sheeted dead did squeak and gibber... in the Roman streets." "As stars with trains of fire and dues of blood... disaster's in the sun and the moist air... upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands..."" ""Oh, God, I could be bounded in a nutshell... and count myself a king of infinite space... were it not that I have bad dreams."" "Where's your pass?" "Screw your pass." "Hey, Nancy!" "No running in the hallway." "Who are you?" "Gonna get you." "It's only a dream!" "Come to Freddy." "God damn you!" "OK!" "OK!" "Thompson!" "I'll call your mother." "Everything is all right now." "Come on." "Sit down." "I'm OK." "I'm fine." "You sure?" "I'll go straight home." "You'll need a hall pass." "Back to work." "And then what happened?" "I told you." "It was dark, but I'm sure there was somebody in there... under the covers with her." "How could somebody be under the covers with you guys... without you knowing about it?" "How the fuck do I know?" "I don't expect you to believe me anyway." "What did he look like?" "Did you get a look at him?" "Then how do you know that somebody else was there?" "Because somebody cut her while I watched." "And you didn't get a look at him?" "I couldn't even see the fucker." "You could just see... cuts happening... all at once." "What do you mean all at once?" "It was as if there were four razors... cutting her at the same time... but invisible ones." "You know, I probably could have saved her... if I'd have moved sooner." "But I thought it was just another nightmare... like the one I had the night before." "There was this guy." "He had knives for fingers." "You think I did it?" "One... two..." "Freddy's coming for you." "Three... four..." "Better lock your door." "Five... six..." "Grab your crucifix." "Seven... eight..." "Gonna stay up late." "Nine... ten..." "Never sleep... again." "What, Mother?" "Don't fall asleep in there." "You could drown, you know." "Oh, for Pete's sakes." "It happens all the time." "I've heated up some warm milk for you, honey." "Warm milk?" "Gross." "Help!" "Hold on, baby!" "Mom!" "I'm OK." " You're OK?" " I'm OK." "But I heard you screaming." "You were calling me." "I just slipped getting out of the tub, Mom." "But I told you... hundreds of people a year get killed like that, honey." "I know, but I'm OK, Mother." "I'm sorry for scaring you." "I'll turn down your bed." "I'll get my pyjamas on." "... the act of bodily dismemberment." "I'm sorry." "I saw your light was on." "I thought I'd see how you were." "Sometimes I wish you didn't live right across the street." "Will you shut up and let me in?" "Did you ever stand on a trellis in your bare feet?" "Get inside before somebody sees you." "I hit my head." "Gotta be quiet." "Mom's not even asleep yet." "If you don't mind." "So, I heard you freaked out in English class today." "Yeah, I guess I did." "You haven't slept yet, have you?" "Not really." "What did you do to your arm?" "I burned it in English class." "Oh, God." "I look 20 years old." "Did you have any weird dreams last night?" "Slept like a rock." "Do you believe that people... can dream about what's going to happen?" "No." "Do you believe in the bogeyman?" "No." "Rod killed Tina, and you know that." "I've got a crazy favour to ask you." "It's nothing hard or anything." "I'm gonna go and look for somebody... and I want you to stand..." "like a sort of a guard, OK?" "Now, you can't mess up." "A lot might depend on this." "I won't screw up." "Turn off the light." "Here's what we're going to do." "It's dark in here." "And it's not what you're thinking." "Are you still watching?" "Yeah." "So?" "I'm just checking." "Watch out!" "Watch out!" "Wake up!" "Are you there?" "I'm here." "Nancy, help me, please." "Save me from..." "Freddy!" "This is just a dream." "This isn't real." "This is just a dream." "He isn't real." "Glen, you bastard." "What did I do?" "I just asked you to do one thing... just stay awake and watch me... just wake me up if it looked like I was having a bad dream... and what did you do?" "You shit." "You fell asleep." "Oh, shit." "Hurry." "Shut up and stay there." "Don't go away." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "It was just a little dream, that's all." "I'm going right back to sleep." "Call me if you need anything." "You mind telling me what's going on?" "Just come on." "Garcia, I've got to see Rod Lane again." "You know, I took the night shift... so I could get some peace and quiet." "It's urgent!" "We have reason to believe that there might be... something very strange going on here." "Got no argument with that." "What are you doing here?" "There's an unsolved murder... and I don't like unsolved murders... especially ones that my daughter's mixed up in." "What are you doing here?" "At this hour, you should be home in bed." "I just want to see if he's OK." "Nancy, take my word for it." "The guy's sleeping like a baby." "He's not going anywhere." "Just go down and look at him." "Please, Daddy." "All right." "Garcia, give me the keys." "Right." "Where the hell did I put the keys?" "Help!" "Help!" "Jesus!" "Cut him down." "Grab his legs." "I got him." "Grab his back, would you?" "Lower him." "Ashes to ashes..." "Dust to dust." "May God be with this young man's soul." "His life and his death... attest to the scriptures' warning... that he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword." "But let us recall also our Lord's admonition... that we judge not, lest we be judged." "And may Rod Lane rest in peace." "Time to go, honey." "Hop in." "The killer's still loose, you know?" "You're saying somebody else killed Tina?" "Who?" "I don't know who he is... but he's burned, and he wears a weird hat... and a red and green sweater, really dirty... and he uses these knives, like giant fingernails." "You better keep her home for a few days... until she really gets over the shock of this." "I've got something better." "I'm going to get her some help." "I don't see why you couldn't just give me a pill... to keep me from dreaming." "Everyone's got to dream, young lady." "If you don't dream, you go." "All set." "Please, Nancy, trust us." "It's not you I don't trust." "It's just..." "Let's do it." "Thank you, nurse." "How long has this been going on?" "Since the murders." "She was fine before that." "Now she thinks her dreams are real." "There's no sign of pathology in her EEG." "I'd guess that what we have is just a normal girl... who happens to have gone through two days of hell." "She's asleep now." "Thank God." "What the hell are dreams anyway?" "Mysteries." "Incredible body hocus-pocus." "The truth is we still don't know what they are... or where they come from." "She's going into deep sleep now." "Heart rate is a little high." "It's just due to anxiety." "Otherwise, she's nicely relaxed." "All signs are normal." "She could dream at any time now." "Beta waves are slowing." "She's into REMs now." "She's definitely dreaming now." "It's a good one, too." "Typical dream parameter." "A nightmare now would be plus or minus five or six." "She's about three." "Doctor, what's she doing now?" "Is she asleep or awake?" "Something's wrong." "It never gets this high." "What's she doing?" "I don't know." "Is she dreaming?" "Nancy, it's Mom!" "What?" "Her hair." "Excuse me." "This'll help you sleep." "Oh, my God, her arm!" "Get something." "What happened, baby?" "What happened?" "It's OK." "I brought something out from my dream." "Where did you get that?" "I grabbed it off his head." "She said she grabbed it off his head in her dream." "No, I'm not crazy." "I'm holding the damn thing right here in my hand." "I don't know where she really found it." "I gotta go." "You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?" "You know the doctor says you have to sleep, or..." "I'll go even crazier?" "I don't think you're crazy." "And stop drinking that damn coffee." "So, did you ask Daddy to have the hat examined?" "I threw that filthy thing away." "I don't know where you really found it... or what you're trying to prove." "What I learned in the dream clinic... that's what I'm trying to prove, Mother." "Rod didn't kill Tina, and he didn't hang himself." "It's this guy." "He's after us in our dreams." "That's just not reality, Nancy." "It's real, Mama." "Feel it." "Give me that damn thing." "It even has his name written in it." "Fred Krueger, Mom." "Do you know who that is, Mother?" "Because if you do, you better tell me... because he's after me now." "Nancy, trust your mother for once, please." "You'll feel better when you get some sleep." "Feel better?" "You call this feeling better?" "Or maybe I should grab that bottle and veg out with you." "Avoid everything happening to me by just getting good and loaded." "Fred Krueger can't come after you, Nancy." "He's dead." "Believe me." "I know." "You knew about him all this time... and you've been acting like it was something I made up?" "Nancy, you're sick." "There's something wrong with you." "You're imagining things." "You'll feel better when you sleep." "It's just as simple as that." "Screw sleep!" "It's just a nightmare." "That's enough." "Whenever I get nervous, I eat." "And if you can't do that, you sleep." "I used to." "Not any more." "Did you ever read about the Balinese way of dreaming?" "They got this whole system they call dream skills." "So if you have a nightmare, for instance, like falling." "Right." "Well, instead of screaming and getting all nuts... you say, "I'm going to make up my mind... that I fall into a magic world."" "Make it something special like a poem or a song." "They get all their art and literature from dreams." "Just wake up and write it down." "Dream skills." "What if they meet a monster in their dreams?" "They turn their back on it." "Take away its energy, and it disappears." "But what happens if they don't do that?" "Then I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens." "Great." ""Booby Traps  Improvised Anti-Personnel Devices"?" "What are you reading that for?" "I'm into survival." "See ya." "You're starting to scare me." "Oh, gross." "Mother!" "What's with the bars?" "Security." "Security from what?" "Not from what, from whom." "Come down to the cellar with me, and I'll tell you." "You want to know who Fred Krueger was?" "He was a filthy child murderer... who killed at least 20 kids in the neighbourhood." "Kids we all knew." "Oh, Mom." "It drove us crazy when we didn't know who it was... but it was even worse after they caught him." "Did they put him away?" "The lawyers got fat and the judge got famous... but somebody forgot to sign the search warrant... in the right place... and Krueger was free just like that." "What did you do, Mother?" "A bunch of us parents tracked him down... after they let him out." "We found him in an old abandoned boiler room... where he used to take his kids." "Go on." "We took gasoline..." "We poured it all around the place... and made a trail of it out the door... then lit the whole thing up and watched it burn." "But he can't get you now." "He's dead, honey, because Mommy killed him." "I even took his knives." "So it's OK now." "You can sleep." "Oh, hi, how you doing?" "Fine." "Stand by your window so I can see you." "You sound a million miles away." "That's much better." "I see your mom went ape at the security store today." "You look like the Prisoner of Zenda or something." "How long's it been since you slept?" "It's coming up on the seventh day." "It's OK." "I checked Guinness." "The record's 11." "Listen, Glen, I know who he is." "Who?" "The killer." " You do?" " Yes." "And if he gets me, I'm pretty sure you're next." "Why would anybody want to kill me?" "Don't ask." "Just give me some help nailing the guy... when I bring him out." "Bring him out of what?" "My dream." "How do you plan to do that?" "Just like I did the hat." "Have a hold of the sucker when you wake me up." "Wait a minute." "You can't bring somebody out of a dream." "If I can't, then you can all relax... because it's just a case of me being nuts." "I can save you the trouble." "You're nutty as a fruitcake." "I love you anyway." "Good." "Then you won't mind cold-cocking this guy... when I bring him out." "What?" "You heard me." "I grab the guy in my dream." "You see me struggling, so you wake me up." "We both come out, you whack the fucker, and we got him." "Are you crazy?" "Hit him with what?" "You're the jock." "You have a baseball bat or something." "Just meet me at my porch at midnight." "Oh, and meanwhile..." "Meanwhile?" "Whatever you do, don't fall asleep." "Midnight?" "Oh, man." "Midnight." "Baseball bats and bogeymen." "Beautiful." "Honey?" "How can you listen to television... and hear your records at the same time?" "Oh, I wasn't listening to the tube, Ma." "Just watching." "Miss Nude America is going to be on tonight." "How can you hear what she's going to say?" "Who cares what she says?" "Don't be such a smart guy." "I want you to go to bed." "It's almost midnight." "Goodness knows we've all had a lot to deal with... these last few days." "I will, Mom." "You guys turning in?" "Pretty soon." "Now get to bed." "It's over now, baby." "The nightmare's over." "Please." "You shouldn't stare." "You know what I think?" "I think that kid is some kind of lunatic." "You shouldn't talk that way about that poor child." "You mean those bars?" "Marge is just being cautious with her being all alone... and Nancy acting so nervous lately." "I don't care what you say." "I don't want that kid hanging around with our son any more." "Glen, answer the phone." "Just a minute." "It's her." "She wants to talk to Glen." "About what?" "What's this about, Nancy?" "Just a minute." "She says it's private." "Very private and very important." "Give me that." "Glen's asleep." "You'll have to talk to him tomorrow." "You've just got to be firm with these kids." "Let's go." "As a matter of fact..." "Damn." "Don't fall asleep." "Oh, brilliant." "What if Glen tries to call?" "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy." "My boyfriend." "Mom!" "Locked, locked, locked, locked." "I locked it all up." "I had to." "Nancy, you are going to get some sleep tonight... if it kills me." "Give me the key, Mother." "I can't." "I don't even have it on me." "See?" "Damn it!" "It is now 12 midnight...  and this is station KRGR leaving the air." "Help, Mom!" "Come on, Frank." "I'll give you a hand." "You won't need a stretcher up there." "You'll need a mop." "Don't tell me it's another one." "Lieutenant Thompson, I'm sorry to wake you... but I've never seen anything like this before in my life." "And I knew this is your neighbourhood... so I thought I'd better call you right away." "The coroner's upstairs now, but I don't think that he's..." "Oh, my God." "I'll get him right away." "Lieutenant, it's your daughter." "Hi, Daddy." "I know what happened." "I haven't been upstairs yet." "But you know he's dead, right?" "Yeah." "Apparently he's dead." "Listen, Daddy, I've got a proposition for you." "Listen very carefully, please." "I'm going to go and get the guy who did it... and I want you to be there to arrest him... when I bring him out, OK?" "Just tell me who did it." "I'll go get him, baby." "Fred Krueger did it, Daddy... and only I can get him." "It's my nightmare he comes to." "Just come here and break the door down... in exactly 20 minutes." "Can you do that?" "Yeah, sure." "That'll be exactly half past midnight." "Time enough for me to fall asleep and find him." "Honey, you just do that." "Get yourself some sleep." "That's what I've been telling you all along." "But you'll be here to catch him?" "Lieutenant, they're waiting for you upstairs." "Sure, I'll be there, sweetheart." "You just get yourself some rest... please?" "Deal?" "I love you, sweetheart." "Go outside and watch my daughter's house." "If you see anything funny, call me." "Anything funny, like what?" "I don't know." "One thing for sure, I don't want her coming over here." "She's too far gone to be able to handle this." "What the hell did that, Lieutenant?" "I don't know." "What has the coroner got to say?" "He's in the john puking since he saw it." "I guess I should have told you about him then." "Just get some sleep, Mom." "It's going to be OK." "I was just trying to protect you." "I didn't see how much you needed to know." "You face things." "That's your nature." "That's your gift... but sometime you have to turn away, too." "I love you." "I love you, too, baby." "Night." "OK, Krueger." "We play on your court." "And now I lay me down to sleep." "I pray the Lord my soul to keep... and if I die before I wake..." "I pray the Lord my soul to take." "Countdown mode." "Ten minutes and counting." "What if they meet a monster in their dreams?" "They turn their back on it." "Take away it's energy,  and it disappears." "What happens if they don't do that?" "Then I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens." "You dreamed about the same creep I did." "Gonna get you." "I'm here!" "Come out and show yourself, you bastard!" "Shit." "Come on, Krueger!" "Follow me!" "Damn it!" "Where are you?" "Where are you, Krueger?" "I know you're here." "Final 10 seconds." "Nine, eight, seven, six..." "Bitch." "I got you now!" "I'm crazy after all." "Come on, Krueger!" "Take it down!" "Come and get me!" "Help!" "I've got him!" "Hey, Daddy!" "I've got him trapped!" "Help!" "Where are you?" "Everything's gonna be all right!" "Everything's under control!" "Get my dad, you asshole!" "Come on!" "He's in here!" "Don't let him kill me, too!" "Come on, Freddy." "Can't you catch me?" "I'm going to split you in two." "Daddy, help me, please!" "Maybe I better go tell the Lieutenant." "I'll kill you slow." "Where are you?" "Daddy, I did it!" "Please hurry!" "Where are you?" "Parker, I need some help here!" "OK, you guys." "Come on, let's go." "Let's go." "Al, Tim, get over here." "Get you out." "Open this door!" "Watch yourself." "I got it." "It's Krueger!" "Get out of the way." "This way, guys." "Come down here." "Oh, my God." "Nancy, what the hell is going on?" "Parker, get up here!" "We got a fire up here, too." "We're on our way up." "What the hell is going on, Nancy?" "He's after Mother!" "Watch out!" "He's under there!" "Now do you believe me?" "They've got the fires out downstairs." "Everything OK up here?" "I'm OK." "You go downstairs." "I'll be there in a minute." "Lieutenant, is everything all right?" "I don't know." "I know you're there, Freddy." "You think you was gonna get away from me?" "I know you too well now, Freddy." "Now you die." "It's too late, Krueger." "I know the secret now." "This is just a dream." "You're not alive." "This whole thing is just a dream." "I want my mother and friends again." "You what?" "I take back every bit of energy I gave you." "You're nothing." "You're shit." "It's bright." "It's going to burn off soon, or it wouldn't be so bright." "Feeling better?" "Oh, I feel like a million bucks." "They say you've bottomed out... when you can't remember the night before." "You know, baby, I'm going to stop drinking." "I just don't feel like it any more." "Did I keep you awake last night?" "You look a little bit peaked." "I guess I just slept heavy." "I'll see you." "See you." "Hi, everybody." "You believe this fog?" "I believe anything is possible." "Looking good, girl." "What happened?" "What's going on?" "Hey, I'm not doing this." "Let us out!" "I'm not doing this." "What's going on with the window?" "No!" "Mother!" "What's going on?" "One, two..." "Freddy's coming for you." "Three, four..." "Better lock your door." "Five, six..." "Grab your crucifix." "Seven, eight..." "Gonna stay up late." "Nine, ten..." "Never sleep again." "OK." "Take it easy." "See you." "Turn it down!" "I'm serious." "No way!" "I don't believe it." "No way." "You're such a liar." "I can't believe you." "Oh, no." "Look behind us." "That one's for you." "He's a live one." "He's yours." "Here's my stop." "Hey, driver!" "Hey!" "Hey, driver, that was my stop." "Driver, that was my stop!" "Driver, what's going on?" "Where are we going?" " Driver!" " Where are you going?" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Please." "Please, stop." "What... what is he?" "I think he's dead." "Oh, no!" "Oh, my God!" "What's happening?" "Oh, my God." "We're dead." "Oh, my God!" "What is it?" "What's that?" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Help me!" "Look out, he's coming!" "He's coming!" "We've got to keep balanced!" "Mommy, why can't Jesse wake up like everybody else?" "Oh, honey, he's all right." "He's just having a bad dream." "Mmm." "Thank you." "Morning, honey." "Hi, Mom." "Well, two more." "Hallelujah." "I want that room unpacked by tonight, young man." "OK, Dad." "I promise." "I don't want any more promises, Jesse." "I want that room cleaned up, OK?" "All right." "I'll get on it." "Angie, what are you up to?" "I'm trying to get the Fu Man Fingers." "Want some eggs?" "Jesse, are you OK?" "It's just so hot up there." "I'm having trouble sleeping." "I know." "I wish you'd have the air conditioning..." "There's nothing wrong with it, Mom." "It just needs a shot of Freon." "Here they are." "Dad, you're not trying to fix something again." "Nobody likes a smart ass, buddy-boy." "Look." "Who is that?" "It's Lisa." "I've got to get to school." "Whoa." "Who's Lisa?" "Who is Lisa?" "Just eat your eggs, dear." "Don't you use a key?" "Why?" "Somebody could steal your car, couldn't they?" "The deadly dinosaur?" "Grady, come on." "You can hit it!" "Let's go, Grady!" "Ready, girls?" "Strike!" "It didn't feel right." "Give me a break." "So, you getting any yet, Lise?" "Kerry, he's my ride to school, OK?" "Are you all right?" "You OK?" "You OK?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Well, pay attention next time." "Very heads-up play." "Nice catch, Walsh." "Come on, come on!" "Let's go!" "You're out!" "Heads-up play, Grady." "All right!" "Nice ass." "Nail him!" "Hit him!" "Come on, slug him!" "Here comes Schneider." "Watch out." "Get out of my way." "Move it!" "OK, dirtballs... assume the position!" "See you around, coach." "How much longer do you think he'll keep us out here?" "It could be all night." "He gets his rocks off like this." "Hangs around queer S and M joints downtown." "He likes pretty boys like you." "Get out of here." "So what about you and that rich babe... you've been cruising to school with every day?" "What about her?" "Are you mounting her nightly or what?" "Look, Grady, you got some problem with me?" "No, bro." "Just killing time." "OK, dirtballs, hit the shower!" "So you live around here or what?" "Yeah." "My parents bought a place on Elm Street." "Elm Street?" "You telling me you moved into that big white house... with bars on the window?" "Yeah." "What about it?" "Shit." "Tell your old man he's a real chump." "What are you talking about now?" "Some chick was locked in there by her mother and went crazy." "She watched her boyfriend get butchered across the street... by some maniac." "You're full of shit, Grady." "Shit." "Help!" "Daddy can't help you now!" "I need you, Jesse." "We got special work to do here, you and me." "You've got the body..." "I've got the brain." "You think we should call a doctor?" "No, I'm fine." "It's just a bad dream, OK?" "Yeah." "Go to sleep." "So... to review... the solid waste... those nutrients not absorbed in the lining of the stomach... the large intestine... the small intestine, and the alimentary canal... are passed out through the colon." "Liquid nutrients are then carried... through an elaborate system of filtering... aided by the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder... or collected in the bladder to be expelled at a later time." "And this entire process is kept moving... through the circulatory system... the centre of which is... the heart." "Four chambers... just like the human heart, really." "From the body... to the right auricle... to the right ventricle... and out the pulmonary arteries to the lungs." "There it trades off carbon dioxide for oxygen." "Carbon dioxide is exhaled... and oxygenated blood continues passing through the veins... into the left auricle... through the left ventricle, passing out again." "If you want to play with animals, Mr Walsh... join the circus." "Lisa, sweetheart!" "There's a Jesse on the phone." "OK." "Thanks, Mom." "Where are you going, Jess?" "Just out for a little while." "I told you I want that room unpacked." "Dad, it's just for a few hours." "No." "Upstairs." "Right now, son." "Right now." "How do you like that, Dad?" "I'll leave the two of you alone." "Excuse me." "I told her you invited me over." "I guess maybe I should've called." "It's fine, really." "I mean, I was just cleaning my room." "I know." "I figured you might like some help." "Where does this go?" "Do sweaters go in the closet?" "What's this?" "I don't know." "Looks like a diary to me." ""Nancy Thompson, 1428 Elm Street."" "That's right here." "You know this is five years old?" "You know her?" "No." "Before my time." "Wait." "Listen to this." ""Sometimes when I'm lying here in bed..." "I see Glenn in his window across the way... getting ready for bed." "His body is slim and smooth." "I know I shouldn't watch him... but that part of me that wants him... forces me to." "That's when I weaken." "That's when I want to go to him."" "Can I see that?" ""March Fifteenth." "He comes to me at night... horrible, ugly, and dirty... under the sheets with me... tearing at my nightgown with his steel claws." "His name is Fred... and he keeps trying to take me to the boiler room." "He wants to kill me."" "What is it?" ""Tina is dead"?" "Jesse, are you OK?" "It's just something that Grady said to me... about the girl that used to live here." "How she went crazy... when she saw her boyfriend get murdered across the street." "Go ahead, Jesse." "Try it on for size." "Kill for me." "It was like I was sleepwalking." "Maybe you were having a premonition or something... like the guys who help police solve crimes... and find missing people." "You ever have anything like this happen before?" "No, never." "You think that's what it is?" "I don't know." "Can I see the diary for a little while?" "Thanks." " Hi, guys." " Hi, Kerry." "I got your invitation for the party this weekend." "Any cute guys gonna be there?" "All of them." "Is your dad gonna be the D.J. again?" "Mom's gonna try to keep him upstairs this time." "Oh, good." "Last party I had... my dad insisted on playing Benny Goodman all night." "I'll see you later, OK?" "Hey, Grady, do you remember your dreams?" "Only the wet ones." "No talking!" "Schneider shouldn't have called you out on that last play." "Schneider's got a stick up his ass today." "Schneider's always got a stick up his ass." "Hello, dirtballs." "Oh, it is so hot in here!" "Let me look at the thermostat." "My God, it is hot as an oven in here." "Shh!" "The birds are sleeping." "Cheryl, it's ninety-seven degrees in here." "Damn it!" "Angela, watch out!" "Watch out, Jesse!" "Ken, are you all right?" "Damn bird!" "Look out, Angela!" "Get down!" "Look out, Angela!" "Jesse, get out of here!" "What are you doing, Jesse?" "Help me move this." "It isn't the gas." "Don't tell me it's not the gas." "Your mother thought she smelled gas." "Ken, I thought I did." "I wasn't sure." "Then what is it?" "Bird rabies?" "It's that cheap seed you've been buying." "Please, Ken, really..." "There's gotta be a rational explanation." "Animals don't just explode into flames for no reason." "That's right." "All right." "It's sure not a leaky gas pipe." " You all right?" " Oh, it's all right." "You set this whole thing up, didn't you?" "What are you talking about?" "You know damn well what I'm talking about." "What did you use, firecrackers?" "He used a goddam cherry bomb." " Oh, stop." " That's what he did." "You can't talk to me like that." "Jesse, come back here." "Come back here, Jesse!" "Ken, stop it!" "You're being ridiculous!" "Stop it!" "Shit." "Jesus, I don't know." "He does the strangest things." "Can I have a beer, please?" "Hit the shower." "No, God damn it!" "Oh, boy." "Good evening." "Does this belong to you?" "Yes, sir." "He's my son." "We found him on the highway wandering around." "He was naked." "I'd keep a short leash on him if I were you." "Thank you." "Jesse, come in." "Come in." "Come here." "Two questions... you answer them, and we can all go to bed." "What are you taking, son?" "Who are you getting it from?" "I'm not taking drugs." "Mom, I want to go to bed." "Yeah, come on." "It's a problem I have to work out on my own." "I know, but something's bothering you." "I'm concerned about you." "Jesse!" "I'm fine." "Just leave me alone." "Can't we at least talk about it?" "He needs professional help." "We have to take him to see a psychiatrist." "Are you out of your gourd?" "What the hell will that do?" "I don't know." "He needs help we can't give to him." "Oh, come on." "Are you hearing me?" "That boy's in trouble!" "No, he's not in trouble!" "What that boy needs is a goddam kick in the butt." "That's what he needs!" "Tell you what he needs." "He needs a methadone clinic." "What's happening?" "I want all you students to step back here." "Don't worry." "Let them do their work, all right?" "Yo, man, where have you been?" "Schneider got wasted last night." "He must've been working late." "Some maniac sliced him up like a kielbasa... hacked him in the shower." "Got bloody footprints all over the place." "Kill for me." "One, two" "Freddy's coming for you" "Three" "Four" "Better lock your door" "Five" "Six" "Grab your crucifix" "Morning, Jess." "Morning." "How come it took them five years to sell this house?" "Oh, I don't know." "Couldn't get the right price." "You didn't know about the murder across the street... and the crazy girl that lived here... that saw the whole thing?" "They told me something about it." "You knew something about this, and..." "How do you think we got such a good deal?" "Did they tell you that that girl lost her mind... and her mother killed herself in our living room?" " What?" " Did they tell you that?" "Mom, I'm scared." "Come here." "Oh, honey, it's all right." "Daddy and Jesse are just pretending." "We shouldn't discuss this here." "See what you're doing?" "I don't want to hear one more word about it." "There's absolutely nothing wrong with this house." "Come on." "Is something burning?" "Good Lord!" "That's the craziest damn thing I've ever seen." "Look here, Cheryl." "It wasn't even plugged in." "Jesse, you can't blame yourself for what happened to Schneider." "Just because you dreamt it doesn't mean you did it." "Where are we going?" "Bear left over here." "I really think this is all in your mind." "You're picking up some psychic signals." "What is this place?" "Do you remember in the diary... when Nancy said she kept finding herself in a boiler room?" "Fred Krueger worked here." "It's an old power plant." "Here." "What is all this?" "I did some reading on our friend Fred Krueger." "How long has it been closed down?" "A long time." "Come on." "Fred Krueger kidnapped twenty kids... and brought them here... and killed them." "Do you feel anything?" "What do you mean?" "I thought you might be able to make a connection or something." "I feel like a jerk." "Shh." "Just concentrate." "Do you feel anything?" "Wake up, little girl." "What time is it?" "It's late." "Go back to sleep." "Morning, honey." "Did you sleep OK?" "Yeah, fine." "Good." "You're looking better." "You had another nightmare, didn't you?" "Yes, I had a bad night." "Do you want to talk about it?" "My dad thinks I'm on drugs." "My mom thinks I'm crazy." "And you know, at this point..." "I don't know if I don't agree with her." "What's wrong with Jesse?" "He seems kind of freaked out." "You want to go get a movie or something, hang out?" "Maybe get things off your mind, get a pizza or something?" "Hey, guys." "Hi, Ronnie." "You going to Lisa's house tomorrow night?" "Nope." "Can't." "I'm grounded." "How come?" "I threw my grandmother down a flight of stairs." "Jesse, I think you should eat something." "I'm not hungry." "I wish you would talk to me." "We can figure it out." "We can figure it out together." "There is nothing to figure out." "I don't know why you're wasting your time." " He's a basket case." " Shut up, Grady!" "You want me to shut up?" "Fine!" "I'll shut up." "No problem." "See you around, buddy." "Medium rare." "Hey!" "Cut that out." "I've got it." "Sweetheart, it's a nice party." "Come on, skinny." "It's time for bed." "You're in charge, hot shot." "Twelve-thirty, miss." "No later." " Twelve-thirty." " Have a nice time." "What's the matter with Jesse?" "I don't know." "I'll be out in a second." "Can I please come in and talk to you?" "Listen, I'm going to leave." "I'm not into this." "I'm sorry." "Jesse, why won't you talk to me?" " Will you just leave me alone?" " You're not being fair." "I want to help you." "How can you help me?" "What are you gonna do for me?" "Look, I feel like I'm losing my mind... and I don't want you to watch me fall apart." "I'm afraid to go to sleep." "I'm afraid to stay awake." "I'm ruining your party." "They're gonna take me away." "Come on." "Don't say that." "Listen, we'll stay up all night if we have to." "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." "Any second now." "Any second now." "Party time!" "I got the music!" "What the hell are they doing down there?" "Oh, Eddie, they're kids." "I know they're kids, but I got to get some rest." "What is it?" "Jesse, what's wrong?" "Jesus Christ!" "You scared the shit out of me, man." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Hey, what the fuck are you doing in my room?" "Listen..." "I'm in trouble." "I need you to let me stay here tonight." "Are you out of your mind?" "I don't know." "Oh, man." "Why don't you just go home and take a bottle of sleeping pills?" "I killed Schneider." "You what?" "Only it wasn't me, see?" "There's something inside of me." "And last night it made me go to my sister's room." "And tonight, with Lisa in the cabana... it started to happen again." "I think you are seriously losing it, bro." "I'm scared, Grady." "Something is trying to get inside my body." "She's female and waiting for you in the cabana." "And you wanna sleep with me." "Look, I don't care if you believe me or not!" "Hey!" "I believe you!" "You've had some scary dreams, OK?" "I don't... know." "I'm all messed up." "What difference does it make?" "I'm in trouble... and I need you to help me." "All right, man." "What do you want me to do?" "Just watch me." "If anything starts to happen... if I start to act weird... or start dreaming weird... or try to walk out of here... you gotta stop me." "I don't care if you have to hit me over the head... just don't let me leave." "And, Grady... don't fall asleep." "Hot dog?" "Come back in the water." "I'm busy, OK?" "I don't know." "I feel I should go see him... but I can't just leave the party." "Fuck the party." "Go see him." "The land of the dead..." "I want youse to meet Lou..." "And now I see the..." "Gee, kid, you're a doll." "You sure handled that situation..." "Was he alive?" "That funnels into a bottomless pit!" "Sweet dreams, pal." "What?" "It's starting to happen again." "Jesus." "Hey, man." "What the fuck's wrong with you, dude?" "Shit." "Dad, open the door!" "Oh, my God!" "Dad, open this door!" "What is it?" "Ron, open the door!" "Ron, are you all right?" "Ron, it's your father!" "Open this door!" "Open it up!" "Get help!" "You son of a bitch!" "You killed him!" "Is somebody in there?" "Open up." "Break it down." "Come on." "Hit it again." "Again." "Jesse!" "My God." "What happened?" "I killed him." "I killed him." "Jesse, my God." "You're hurt." "What happened?" "I..." "I killed Grady." "Lisa, I killed Schneider." "Oh, no." "My God!" "I'm so scared!" "Jesse, what are you talking about?" "He's inside me." "I'm scared." "Jesse, who is doing this to you?" "Fred Krueger!" "He's inside me... and he wants to take me again!" "This is not happening." "It's got to be everything you've taken in..." "Schneider, the diary, the glove... only it's all mixed up." "Christ, what do I have to do to make you understand me?" "Last night, he made me try to kill my sister." "I got blood on my hands." "He owns me." "Could somebody turn down the heat in the pool?" "What's going on?" "Shit!" "Yay, Rocky!" "Our hero!" "Come on." "I just want you to listen to this." "It's something Nancy said in the last page of her diary." "Listen." ""He is evil itself." "I know now that I brought him into my world." "We all did." "Gave him all the energy he needed." "Our screams were all he needed."" "Jesse, she wasn't crazy." "All this really happened." "You can fight him." "Oh, God." "He's coming back." "Get out of here, Lisa!" "Jesse, fight him!" "I can't." "Fight it, Jesse." "You created him!" "You can destroy him!" "Lisa!" "Open this door!" "He is living off of your fear." " Jesse, fight him." " I can't!" "Yes, you can!" "Fight him!" "You're not afraid of him." "He doesn't even exist!" "Oh, my God!" "He can't fight me." "I'm him." "It's getting too hot!" "Get out!" "Get me out!" "Jesse, help." "There is no Jesse!" "I'm Jesse now!" "Get away from me!" "Kill me, Lisa." "Please kill me." "Come on, Lisa." "Kill him!" "I love you, Lisa." "Oh, God." "Oh, please." "I love you, Lisa." "Jesse, help!" "Hey, is everybody OK?" "Search me." "What's going on?" "Wait a minute!" "Wait!" "Lisa, are you all right?" "Mommy." "Get her out of here!" "All right!" "Just calm down, all right?" "Relax." "It's going to be all right." "Nobody's gonna hurt you." "Just tell us what you want, all right?" "I'm here to help you." "Help yourself, fucker!" "You are all my children now." " Daddy!" " Oh, shit!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Where'd he go?" "Come to me, Lisa." "Jesse, I know you're in there." " Stop him!" " No." "Jesse's dead." "I love you, Jesse." "Come back to me, Lisa." "I am not afraid of you." "He's in there... and I want him back!" "I'm going to take him away from you... and you are gonna go straight back to hell... you son of a bitch!" "No." "Jesse's dead!" "Come back to me, Jesse." "I love you." "Come back to me." "He's dead!" "He can't hold you, Jesse." "He's losing his grip." "You can get out." "He'll die with me." "He'll die with both of us." "It's great to have you home again, Jess." "I can't believe I'm going back." " I'm glad." " Good." " Have a good day." " OK." "Thanks, Mom." "What is so funny?" "That was a really great party." "Thanks, Lise." "Thanks a lot." "I can't believe it's actually all over." "Let's not talk about it." "What is this?" "Am I going crazy, or is this bus going too fast?" "It's going fine." "No problem." "This bus is going too fast." "Lisa, it's starting to speed up." "It's fine." "Driver!" "Driver, stop!" "Jesse, just sit down." "I'm sorry." "It's OK." "It's all right." "Jesse, it's OK." "It's all over." "Are you crazy?" " Hi, Mom." " Don't "Hi, Mom" me." "What are you still doing up?" "It's past 1:00." " I thought I'd wait for you." " Well, I'm home." "Now you can get to sleep." "Come on." "Andale." "I'm really not tired." "Kristen, don't start with me." "You know what your shrink said." "He's full of it." "I'm not going to let you get me into an argument." "Now get to sleep." "Mom, I'm still having those awful dreams." "Elaine, where do you keep the bourbon?" "I'll be right down." "I've got a guest." "And you don't want to keep him waiting?" "That's right." "I don't." "Good night." "One, two,  Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four,  better lock your door" "Five, six, grab a crucifiix" "Seven, eight, gonna stay up late" "Nine, ten, never sleep again" "One, two,  Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four,  better lock your door" "Five, six, grab a crucifiix" "Seven, eight, gonna stay up late" "Nine, ten..." "Hi." "What's your name?" "Kristen." "What's yours?" "What is this place?" "I got to go now." "Wait, little girl." "Don't go in there!" "Little girl?" "This is where he takes us." "Come on." "We're going." "Freddy's home." "Put me down." "You're hurting me." "And in local news, two more teenage deaths have occurred...  both suicides." "County health officials are at a loss to explain...  this alarming trend." "Nothing like a little cheery news to start the day." "Doc, I got a new theory about all these suicides." "Don't hold back on us, Max." "We need all the help we can get." "It's fucked-up chromosomes." "Think about it." "All their parents dropped acid during the sixties." "It beats Simms' theory." "She thinks it's sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll." "Shit." "That's what keeps people alive." "Hi, Taryn." "You don't look so hot, kid." "Are you getting some sleep?" "I didn't think so." "Good morning, Dr. Gordon." "Good morning, Jennifer." "How are the burns?" "Regular, menthol, ultra-light." "They're healing up nicely." "I've been good." "When do I get my cigarette privileges back?" "Don't hold your breath." " Phillip." " Hey, Doc." "How is he?" "He's cooling down." "If he continues having these outbursts..." "I'll have to have him isolated permanently." "Don't worry." "It won't come to that." "I read the report on the new staff member." "What did you think?" "I don't understand why some grad school superstar... is being treated like a seasoned pro." "She's doing ground-breaking research on pattern nightmares." "We don't need any outside help." "I know these kids." "I don't want some hotshot taking chances with them... just so she can get published." "Dr. Gordon, Dr. Simms,  to examination, stat." "This is ridiculous." "I know my daughter." "She's just trying to get some attention." "I won't play one of her little games with her." "Suicide attempt." "Just down from Country General." " What's her name?" " Kristen Parker." "She was fine until we tried sedating her." "She tore her stitches out." "Kristen, we want to help you!" "Hold her." "I'm Dr. Gordon." "I want to help you." "Be careful, Max!" "Back off, Max." "Kristen, put the scalpel down." "Nobody's going to hurt you." "Five, six, grab your crucifiix" "Seven, eight,  better stay up late" "Nine, ten, never, never..." "Never sleep again." "Where did you learn that rhyme?" "Tell me about the kids." "Well, they're survivors ` in a way." "They're all severely sleep disordered... insomnia, narcolepsy, bed-wetting." "But the nightmares are their common thread?" "Right." "They share a group delusion... a boogieman, for lack of a better word." "They're so traumatized... they'll do almost anything not to sleep." "Anything?" "We lost a kid a month ago to Fairview." "I don't know where he got the razors... but he cut off his own eyelids to stay awake." "Oh, God." "Shook the kids up pretty badly." "By the way, that was great work with the new patient." "Pretty smooth for an intern." "I have had some experience with pattern nightmares." "I've got to get going." "Let me help you." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Now, be sure that you check in with Max." "He'll give you the whole twenty-fiive-cent tour." "I'll see you later." "Oh, Miss Thompson..." "You can call me Nancy." "You call me Neil." "What was that nursery rhyme all about?" "It was just something that the kids say... to keep the... boogieman away." "Anyway, that's group therapy." "Anyway, that's group therapy." "This whole wing is devoted to the program." "I guess... yeah." "You can use this office for the time being." "This will be fline." "I'll have you set up ` in your own space... by the end of the week." "The patients' rooms are down this way." "This is Phillip." "We call him "The Walker."" " Why is that?" " Because I sleepwalk." "A perfectly normal event that our illustrious staff..." "loves to theorize about endlessly." "Phillip, this is Nancy." "Hi." "Welcome to the snake pit." "Thanks." "Nice work." "They really ought to be carved out of wood... but they won't let me have a knife." "I might, you know..." "This lump over here is Kincaid." "Take a good look." "He gets himself thrown in the quiet room so often... you probably won't see a lot of him." "I do it so I don't have to look at your ugly face all the time." "I love you, too." "Nice meeting you." "They're really good kids, but don't let them fool you." "They're dangerous..." "to themselves and to each other." "Hi, Joey." "Why, thank you." " Hey, Marcie." "How you doing?" " Great." "These going to "C" Ward?" "I'll walk you down." "See you later, Joey." "Mrs. Parker, was Kristen acting any different?" "Did you notice anything strange before she made the attempt?" "Kristen specializes in strangeness." "I've spent thousands on psychiatrists." "Did she always have nightmares?" "No." "They've gotten worse since I took away her credit cards." "I'm serious." "I don't know what you want from me." "Just some answers." "Other kids are involved, not just Kristen." "All good kids, smart kids." "I'm sorry to hear that." "You're the experts, not me." "If I had any insight into any of this..." "I would share them with you, believe me." "I'm sure you would." "Excuse me." "I have to get downtown." "I'll need to get her things." "I had them packed in a suitcase." "Teresa." "I'll get them." "Please, I don't mind." "It's the first door at the top of the stairs." "You." "Oh, my God." "Run!" "Get us back out, Kristen!" "Do it now!" "I used to live in this house." "That's just a house I dream about." "Have you ever done that before... pulled someone into your dream?" "When I was a little girl, like four or fiive... if I had a nightmare, I'd always bring my dad in." "The dreams would always get better." "He used to tell me about it the next day." "He used to think they were his dreams." "When did that stop?" "When I was still a kid." "My folks got divorced, and after a while..." "I just thought I imagined the whole thing." "I guess I didn't." "It's an amazing gift." "The man in my dreams, he's real, isn't he?" "He's real." "OK." "Group's in session." "Straight talk only in this room." "Today I'd like to start getting us acquainted... with our new staff member Nancy Thompson." "Let's make her welcome." "You've already met Phillip and Kincaid... and, of course, Kristen." "How about the rest of you tell Nancy about yourselves?" "Will, how about you fiirst?" "Hi, I'm Will Stanton." "I've had a little accident, as you can see... ended up in this chair." "Accident, my ass." "You said this was straight talk." "So he took a jump." "He wasn't sticking needles in his arms." "Save it, Kincaid." "Jennifer?" "I'm Jennifer Callfiield... and as soon as I get out of here..." "I'm going to Los Angeles to be an actress." "I'm going to be on TV." "Yeah. "Lifestyle of the Rich and Psychotic."" "Screw you." "This is Joey." "He used to be a debater in school." "Now he doesn't talk much." "I'm Taryn White." "The only reason I'm in here... is because it's better than juvie hall." "Also because I'm going through some very strange shit." "Your dreams?" "Everybody has bad dreams." "Can I interject something just to save time?" "Sure, Phillip, go ahead." "According to our kind hosts... our dreams are a group psychosis... sort of a mellow mass hysteria." "The fact that we all dreamt about this guy... before we ever met doesn't impress anybody." "So we go in circles... making minimal progress with maximum effort." "You won't make any progress... until you recognize your dreams for what they are." "And what are they?" "The by-products of guilt." "Psychological scars stemming from moral conflicts... and overt sexuality." "Oh, great." "It's my dick that's killing me." "Tell me what's supposed to be happening again." "You're being attacked by the bog demon." "Fourteen." "Doesn't count." "You got to say the words." " This is stupid." " Come on." "In the name of Lowrek, Prince of Elves, demon begone." "Good." "You conquered the demon... but your horse is sinking in the bog." "What do you do?" "I go to bed, and get a new horse in the morning." "How do I score that..." "enchanted slumber or death?" "All right, fellas." "Lights out." "Aw, Max." ""Aw, Max." You know the rules." "Come on, Joey." "You, too." "Every time we get a good game going... it's always, "Lights out."" " Good night, fellas." " Night, Max." "OK, you get fiirst shift." "Oh, come on." "I had it last night." "Good." "Just remember, keep your eyes open... and one whimper, and you wake me up, OK?" " This is nice." " You never been here before?" "No." "I think it opened when I was at school." "Best Thai food in Springwood." "Of course, it's the only Thai food in Springwood." "Do your parents still live around here?" "My mother passed away." "She died in her sleep." "I'm sorry." "My father and I..." "Things just seemed to fall apart after that." "Sounds like a rough time." "It was." "What if I told you that... your patients are in real physical danger... from their dreams?" "The nightmares are nothing but a symptom of the real problems." "Then let's just eliminate the symptom for the time being." "With Hypnocil?" "That's right." "You want me to prescribe... an experimental psychoactive drug... to a bunch of suicidal teenagers?" "Just until we get things under control." "Dream deprivation is nothing to fool with." "You have no business taking it yourself." "I used to be like them." "I know what they're going through." "So do I." "You told me they were survivors, and they are." "But how much longer they survive is up to us." "I'm sorry, Nancy." "The answer's no." "Phillip, wake up." "Have a nice stroll, asshole." "What?" "What are you doing?" "Hey!" "Come on, man!" "What are you, crazy?" "Oh, shit!" "What's he doing?" "Get help!" "Get help!" "What's the matter?" "Don't do it, Phillip!" "God!" "Stop!" "I want us to talk about last night." "I want us to get our feelings out in the open." "He wasn't strong enough, so he got wasted." "That's all." "That's all?" "Is that what you think?" "He couldn't hack it, so he got nailed." "Period." "Yeah." "Big, tough badass." "How long will you last?" "Longer than any of you." "Go ahead and fight." "That's what he wants." "Who?" "Who do you think?" "What does he want?" "To turn us against each other so we'll be weak." " Horseshit." " No, she's right." "We're all missing the point here." "Phillip's death was a sleepwalking accident." "Nothing more." "No." "I could see him up there... his face." "He was wide awake..." "all the way down." "Then it was suicide." "Phillip quit." "He gave up." "Joey says it wasn't suicide." "Listen to me, Joey." "Phillip killed himself." "That's a cowardly thing." "That's an empty thing." "He let himself down." "He let all of us down." "It was murder!" "Can't you understand that?" "That bastard murdered him!" "I'm not listening to this." "How much longer will you go on blaming your dreams... for your own weaknesses?" "How much longer will you keep blowing smoke up our ass?" "There will be no repeat occurrences... of last night's events." "Your doors will be locked during sleeping hours." "We'll start a policy of evening sedation." "Anybody tries drugs on me will get his ass kicked!" "You just bought yourself a night in the quiet room!" " Sit down!" " Fuck you!" "You sit down!" "Easy, Kincaid." "Nobody's putting me to sleep!" "Get away!" "Let me alone!" "Ain't nobody putting me to sleep!" "I don't want to go to sleep!" "I ain't going to sleep!" "Stay in your seats." "We'll begin sedation tonight, starting with him." "You can't." "They'll be defenseless." "That's precisely what they need... some uninterrupted REM sleep to release that negative energy." "I'm prescribing Hypnocil." "It's a dream suppressant." "I know what it is." "I just can't believe it." "What has she talked you into?" "Nothing." "It's my decision." "I want these dreams stopped till we get some answers." "I can't allow that." "Then I'll go to Carver if I have to." "He'll either back me up or accept my resignation." "All right." "But if something goes wrong..." "I'll make sure that you're held responsible." "I mean that." "Fully responsible." "I can't believe I just said that." "Can we get the Hypnocil by tomorrow?" "We're going to try." "I hope you know what you're getting us into." "Ain't gonna dream no more,  no more" "Ain't gonna dream no more" "All night long, I sing this song" "Ain't gonna dream no more" "Girl, what are you doing?" " Watching TV." " I can see that." "Why don't you read a book?" "You watch too much damn TV." "Research." "Right." "You're going to be a TV star." "Wait and see." "If Simms catches you here after lights out... she's gonna chew my ass." "I gotta stay up, Max." "Just tonight, please?" "I can't handle the nightmare." "Not after Phillip." "Not tonight." "I never saw you." "Thanks, Max." "Hi, sweet stuff." "Good news." "Can't be good news, coming from you." " Pulled night duty." " So?" "So, got the keys to heaven, baby." " What?" " The dispensary." "I am talking clean pharmaceutical high... a night at Club Meth." "I don't do that shit." "Yeah?" "What are those, beauty marks?" " Those are ancient history." " Oh, yeah?" "If you're ever in the mood for a history lesson..." "I'm your teacher, understand?" "Stay out of my face, or I'll go straight to Max." "Who's going to take the word of a crazy junkie chick?" "Fuck off!" "It's silly to ask, but how many of what did they kill?" "Don't say that." "I love animals." "I bought it red,  so I didn't know what it was." "Probably an artifiicial bird." "Ever go to acting school?" "Not in the beginning." "I started on a talk show." "So you don't always say you have to study?" "I think you should study, work...  then maybe you can make it." "Can I ask you something?" "Certainly." "Who gives a fuck what you think?" "One, two,  Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four,  better lock the door" "This is it, Jennifer..." "your big break in TV." "Welcome to prime time, bitch!" "Don't be ashamed, young man." "This is a place for sorrow." "What faith do you follow?" "Science, I suppose." "Sad choice." "There are times when it doesn't offer much comfort." "I've seen you before, Sister..." "Mary Helena." "You do volunteer work at the hospital." "From time to time, when I'm needed." "I should have been able to save them." "Only one thing can save the children." "The unquiet spirit must be laid to rest." "It is an abomination to God and to man." "Excuse me, sister." "What are you doing up here?" "I was talking to..." "To who?" "Doesn't matter." "Are you ready to go now?" "Sure." "Are you fiinished?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I guess I'm not hungry." "That's OK." "That's pretty." "What is that?" "This is my Malaysian dream doll." "It's supposed to bring good dreams." "I could use some of that right about now." "You know, I used to think..." "I could do something for the kids... make some kind of difference... but they're slipping through my fiingers, every one." "You're doing the best you can for them, Neil." "Am I?" "I'm running out of answers." "A patient sleepwalks out of a high-security ward." "A girl alone in a room dies." "I can't believe this is happening." "Nothing makes any sense." "Then maybe you're ready." "For what?" "The truth." "Try me." "Only if you're willing to put aside... everything you've learned and trust me." "Can you do that?" "I can do that." "Straight talk only in this room." " Is this group?" " Yeah, unoffiicially." "Soon there won't be enough of us left to call it group." "Listen up, you guys." "Nancy has something to say." "I know who's trying to kill you." "Don't humor us." "We're not in the mood." "He wears a dirty brown hat." "He's horribly burned." "He has razors on his right hand." "Who is he?" "His name is Freddy Krueger." "He was a child murderer before he died." "And after he died... he became something worse." "Six years ago, he killed my friends." "He almost killed me." "Why is he after us?" "Yeah." "What did we do?" "It's not you." "Your parents, my parents..." "they burned him alive." "And now we're paying for their sins." "You are the last of the Elm Street children." "Mom and Dad..." "I mean, that's crazy." "They never mentioned anything..." "Sure." "Parents tell their kids that sort of thing..." ""Good night." "Say your prayers." ""By the way, we torched some maniac last night."" "So what do we do about this creep?" "Kristen is the key." "She has a very special talent." "A gift." "I haven't been able to do that since I was little." " You did it the other night." " That was different." "You never lose a gift like that." "You just forget how to use it." "How about it?" "Will you try?" "All of you have this inner strength... some special power that you've had... in your most wonderful dreams." "Together, we can learn to use that power if we try." "You sound like Peter Pan." "Remember, open mind?" "Taryn, would you pull the shades down?" "We're going to try a little group hypnosis." "I want you all to follow this pendulum with your eyes." "Tune out everything else." "Nothing else exists but the pendulum." "Take us there, Kristen." "Breathe deeply and relax." "Starting with your toes, relax everything... till there's no tension left in your bodies." "Keep following the pendulum." "You find yourselves getting tired." "Nothing would feel better right now... than a nice, long, deep sleep." "I'm going to count backwards from fiive." "When I fiinish... you will all be asleep." "Five... four... three... two... one." "Sorry." "That's OK." "We'll try again." "Everybody take fiive." "I was willing to go through with this... for the kids' peace of mind, but you'll have to face reality." "Joey, I just wanted to get you alone for a second." "I mean, look, I really like you." "Do you like me?" "I know this sounds crazy... but I make up excuses to come into the ward every day... just to see you." "You're so cute." "Let's just try one more time." "If it doesn't work, I promise I'll..." "We're here." " Where here?" " We're in the dream." "No, we're not." "We're still here in the group." "In my dreams, I can walk." "My legs are strong." "In my dreams, I am the Wizard Master." "Try something, Kristen." "What can you do in your dream?" "A perfect score." "The crowd goes wild." "Dig this." "Kincaid, please." "That's very unnerving." "Hey, check out Taryn." "In my dreams, I'm beautiful... and bad." "I could get into a lot of trouble for this." "But I know you won't say anything, will you?" "Unzip me." "Do you like my body, Joey?" "What's wrong, Joey?" "Feeling tongue-tied?" "What's happening?" " He's close." " Who, Freddy?" "He's heavy in the halls." " Where's Joey?" " Freddy's got him." "Quiet, everyone!" "Listen." "The room's changing." "What the heck's going on here?" "What's happening?" "Get away from the wall." "Help!" "Don't panic!" "Quiet down!" "This isn't real!" "Get us out!" "Quiet!" "The door!" "What's going on in here?" "What's wrong with Joey?" "Code blue." "Oh, my God." "He's in a deep coma." "There's nothing we can do." "This is inexcusable." "The session was unauthorized." "It was purposely conducted without my knowledge." "Unusual steps were called for." "Is that what I should tell his parents?" "I understand you prescribed a highly experimental drug." "He's not in a coma..." "Your opinion is of no interest to me." "Furthermore, you've created panic among the patients." "That's not true." "In four days, we've had two suicides." "Now he's in a coma." "It's safe to say your approach has failed, entirely." "You're both relieved of duty." "I want you out today." "I'm sorry, Neil." "I'm afraid you brought it on yourself." "For God's sake, Elizabeth... will you please just try to help the kids?" "Will you listen to them?" "Of course I will." "What are we going to do?" "There's nothing that we can do." "It's out of our hands." "Sister!" "This is where it began." "This wing's been closed for years." "What was this place?" "Purgatory... fashioned by the hands of men." "Twisted, lonely souls." "The worst of the criminally insane... were locked up in here like animals." "This whole facility was shut down in the forties." "Some sort of scandal?" "A young girl on the staff... was accidentally locked in here over the holidays." "The inmates kept her hidden for days." "She was raped..." "hundreds of times." "When they found her, she was barely alive... and with child." "That girl was Amanda Krueger." "Her child..." "The bastard son of a hundred maniacs." "Some say he was murdered... though no body was ever found." "You said something before about laying him to rest." "You must fiind the remains... and bury him in hallowed ground." "Hallowed ground?" "Sister?" "If your only faith is science, Doctor... it may be you that's laid to rest." "Wait!" "Sister!" "Let go of him, you bastard." "Oh, my God." "I've got to go in." "We have no choice." "Getting yourself killed won't help the kids at all." "Besides, we do have a choice." "Assuming your mysterious nun is right." "I've heard weirder things this week." "All right." "Whoever she is... she seems to know more about Krueger than I do." "The question is, what happened to his body?" "They burned him to death in his boiler room... and they hid the remains." "Who would know where they're hidden?" "Only one man knows... and it's time for him to talk." "You can't take Nancy away from us!" "She's all we have!" "You're a sick girl, Kristen." "If you want to get better, you must trust me now." "Take her to the quiet room and sedate her." "You stupid bitch!" "You're killing us!" "All right, everybody." "Back to bed." "Hi, Daddy." "Well, if it isn't my little girl." "My baby come to see her daddy?" "It's been a long time." "But you're here." "Sit down." "What did I do to get so lucky?" "I thought that you were trying to forget me." "That's not true." "You're the one trying to forget." "I need your help, Dad." "Krueger's back." "Fred Krueger is dead." "You always had a little trouble trying to understand that." "You know what he did." "He's doing it again." "She's telling you the truth." "I don't believe we've met... and this isn't any of your goddamn business." "We can stop him this time..." "stop him for good... but we need to know where his bones were hidden." "I've lost too much over this already." "I'm through with it." "People are still dying after all this time." "Stop running away from it." "You owe me." "It was nice seeing you again, ` princess." "Next time, don't... don't stay away so long." "I'll be OK." "Just give me a minute." "It's the hospital." " Dr. Gordon?" "Taryn." "You've got to come right away." "Kristen had a total shit attack." "Simms doped her up and put her in the quiet room." "Simms put Kristen in the quiet room for the night." " They sedated her." " Oh, no." "She can't stay awake for long." "She's all alone." "Freddy's going to get her." "Just stay cool." "Help is on the way." "Just hurry!" "I got to get there." " You go." "I'll get the remains." " It's no use." "I'll talk to him." "Make Simms understand." "She'll never understand." "I got to get to Kristen." "Be careful." "My name is Neil Gordon." "Pleased to meet you." "There, now we've met!" "Now listen to me!" "Maybe you don't care whether Nancy lives or dies, but I do!" "You and I are going on a little scavenger hunt." "Please, God... don't make me sleep." "What the hell are we doing here?" "I won't be long." "What do you think you're doing?" "Look, I'm sorry." "I really need this." "I got..." "I'll reimburse you." "You keep my driver's license." "I'll be back." "Max, I need to see Kristen." " You don't understand." " Save your breath." "Dr. Simms gave me specifiic instructions." "No one sees Kristen, especially you." "But, Max, she needs me." "She's in danger." "You got to believe me!" "I really think you mean well, but my kids been dying off... and even without Simms' orders, I wouldn't let you near her." "OK, Max." "I understand." "Can I say good-bye to the others?" "I don't know." "It'll be my last chance." "Five minutes." "They're in the TV room." "Where have you been?" "There's no time." "Come on." " Where?" " Our last group." "In there." "We knew nobody would ever fiind it in that place." "I'm not sure I can fiind it myself anymore." "It's deep in the heart of the place." "Take it slow." "Straight talk only in here." "What about Kristen?" "We can't get to her." "I tried." "I was hoping we'd have more time to learn to use the dreams... but Joey's in there." "Kristen's going in, too." "They need us." "We're trying to go in, to link up?" "It's now or never." "I'm not going to kid you." "This is dangerous." "If you die in this dream, it's for real." "Nobody has to go in that doesn't want to." "I'm in." "Me, too." "Let's go kick the motherfucker's ass all over dreamland." "Remember, you have to stay together whatever happens." "That's the only way we can beat him." "All right." "Clear your mind of everything." "Picture yourself in the quiet room... the soft, white walls... the total silence... only the sound of your heart beating." "Picture yourself there with Kristen." "I'm going to count backwards from fiive... and when I'm done, we'll all be asleep." "We'll all be in the quiet room." "Five... four... three... two... one." "I knew you'd come." "We wouldn't let you go in alone." "No way." "We're a team!" "Listen, everybody." "Joey needs us." "I can feel him." "Where is he?" "How do we fiind him?" "Stay in the middle of the room!" "Whatever happens, stay together!" "You'll wake up the whole neighbourhood." "Why are you still up?" "It's past 1:00." "I just thought I'd wait for you." "Well, I'm home." "You can get to sleep now." "Come on." "Andale." "What's that for?" "I'm just glad you're home." "Mom, I had the most awful dream." "Elaine, where do you keep the bourbon?" "I'll be right down." "Kris, I've got a guest." "I just don't want to be alone." "I said where's the fucking bourbon?" "You should listen to your mother!" "God damn it, Kristen, you ruin everything!" "Every time I bring a man home, you spoil it!" "You know what your shrink says?" "You just want attention!" "Is that you?" "Welcome home, Taryn." "Look familiar?" "OK, asshole, let's dance!" "Why should we flight?" "We're old friends, you and I." "Remember?" "Let's get high." "What a rush." "You guys?" "Where are you?" "Is somebody there?" "You look tired." "Have a seat." "No, thanks." "I'm fline just the way I am." "For now, maybe." "But when you wake up... it's back... in the saddle... ` again." "My leg!" "It's the chair for you, kid!" "I am the Wizard Master." "I am the Wizard Master!" "In the name of Lowrek, Prince of Elves, demon begone!" "Sorry, kid." "I don't believe in fairy tales." "Somebody?" "What is that?" "I don't know." "Yo." "I thought I heard voices." "Kincaid, I could kiss you." "What's stopping you?" "Cool." "So where's Joey?" "I don't know." "This place is a maze." "It's time to stop guessin' and start messin'." "Yo, Freddy, where you hiding, you burnt-face pussy!" "We should fiind the others fiirst." "You think you're hot shit, don't you?" "Come get a piece of me!" "Krueger, pussy!" "I knew he was a little chicken." "Shit." " It's a door." " But it doesn't go anywhere." "Yes, it does." "This is it." "Are you ready?" "Let's snuff the sucker." "That's it." "The Caddy." "Going somewhere?" "I said I'd show you where the goddamn thing was." "I never said I'd stick around." " We've got work to do." " What are you talking about?" "You're about to attend a funeral... one that's long overdue." "Joey, look." "All the little piggies come home." "Let him go, Krueger!" "Your wish is my command." "He's never been this strong." "The souls of children... give me strength." "Always room for more." " What's that?" " What?" "Listen." "Somebody else is out here." "We're alone." "Bury the fucking thing!" "It's really you." "I killed you once before, you son of a bitch." "Let's try this way." "Kristen, can you pull us out?" "They sedated me." "We're stuck here." "It's a dead end." "What the hell?" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Perhaps if there was more of me to spread around." "Wow." "Did I say that?" "You found your dream power." "You saved us, Joey." " You blew him away!" " Put me down." "Are you OK?" "I think so." "He's gone." "It's over." "Daddy?" "I've crossed over, princess." "Crossed over?" "I couldn't go without telling you how sorry I am... for all the things I've done." "I love you so much." "I'll always love you." "I'll always love you." "Die." "You're mine now, little piggy." "Please, God, for the children." "For Nancy." "Ashes to ashes." "Dust to dust." "Lay this spirit to rest." "I won't let you die." "I won't let you." "I'm going to dream you into a beautiful dream... forever and ever." ""Trust in Him at all times." ""Pour out your hearts to Him..." ""for God is our refuge." ""Hear my cry, O God." ""Listen to my prayer." ""From the ends of the earth, I call to you." ""I call as my heart grows faint." ""Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." ""For You have been my refuge..." ""a strong tower against the foe." ""I long to dwell in the tent forever..." ""and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings."" "Even though we entrust Nancy to the earth... her courage and spirit shall remain with us... for the Lord God has comforted us... saying, "That whoever fiinds his life will lose it..." ""and whoever loses his life for my sake, will fiind it." ""They shall live forever in the glory of His kingdom." ""May the Lord bless you and keep you." ""The Lord make his face to shine down upon you..." ""and be gracious to you." ""The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace."" "Oh, my God." "You were his mother." "Hello." "Do you live here?" "Nobody lives here." "Where's Freddy?" "He's not home." "One, two" "Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four" "Better lock your door" "Five, six" "Grab your crucifix" "Be calm, Kristen." "Joey!" "Kincaid!" "Help me!" "Aw, shit, Kristen, not again." "I'm sorry, Kincaid." "Sorry?" "You are one spooked chick." "Thank God." " I thought for a minute..." " What?" "Dragging us in here?" "Yeah." "Cut it out." "You're putting one serious dent in my beauty sleep." "It's Freddy." "He's here." "I heard him." "Freddy is dead..." "buried and consecrated." "We won, remember?" "He's coming back for us." "Kincaid's right." "Fred Krueger's history." "Come here." "The pipes are cold." "The boiler is cold." "See for yourself." "I don't know." "How are you, MrJohnson?" "That's nice." "Hi, Kristen." "Rick will be out any second." "You going out dressed like that?" "What's wrong with me this time?" "I'll just wait by the car." "Me, too." "Something wrong with the stairs?" "It's avoid all contact day." "What?" "When Dad's popping aspirin like popcorn... it's avoid all contact day." "Waiting for a limo?" "I'm off to the club, honey!" "Let's go." "All right, anybody have trig this semester?" "What happened?" "I had a conflict..." "homework or "Dynasty"... and "Dynasty" won." "Sad story." "Soaps will kill you." "Mmm." "There's Dan Jordan." "We are talking one major-league hunk." "You know, you are one major-league hunk." "Thanks, Alice." "Earth to Alice." "Hey, you spacing again?" "Rick, please." "Well, tell you what, he's a friend of mine." "I'll introduce you." "Just kidding." "But I would introduce her." "All right." "I think I see salvation." "How can you ride this health hazard?" "It's no wonder that you have asthma." "No, you see, asthma is an inherited condition." "Read a book now and then, you might know something." "Speaking of books, isn't trig your favourite?" ""Dynasty" again?" "Deb, do us a favour and get a VCR." "Hey, baby... you're sucking on the wrong nozzle." "Hey, yo, needle dick!" "I bet you're the only male in this school... suffering from penis envy." "I owe you one." " So disgusting." " Hey, Supergirl, it's dead." "Give a bug a break." " Hi, guys." " Hi, guys?" "That's all you have to say after last night?" "You better be careful." "He's coming back." "Listen, little sister... you got this freako talent to bring folks into your dream... but we don't need it any more." "Time to start living like regular people." "Yeah." "Let it rest." "Did it ever occur to you if you keep going in... you might stir him up again?" "Look, we'll help you." "We all have better things to dream about." "You got that right..." "signed and sealed." "Then what about this?" "That don't mean dick." "My dog is like me... drag him into your crazy dream, and he gets wild." "Here comes your boyfriend." "Can he give you a good night's sleep?" "We don't kiss and tell." "How about you guys?" "Look, we'll talk later, all right?" "Those guys are kinda spooky." "Oh... then you must think I'm a total freak." "I go back and forth." "Hey, lighten up." "No one died." "Hi, Dad." "Looking for something?" "Shithead." "I'm late." "I know." "Damn contracts." "Let's eat." "We waited a long time." "And we gave up, as usual." "You call this vegetation a meal after a ten-hour workday?" "What the hell am I, a rabbit?" "Christ, Alice, try to think a little more." "Yeah, I can think." "I can think of how sick I am... of watching you drink your life away... and taking it out on me." "I'm talking to you." "Are you awake or what?" "Dad, don't start." "Start what?" "Telling the little daydreamer to wake up?" "It's long overdue." "I don't need this aggravation." "Jason." "Come on, boy, come on." "Come on." "That's a boy." "You almost scared me, boy." "You ugly sucker!" "Damn!" "This ain't my dreamland." "If you're here, I'm gonna pound your ass!" "Fuckin' "A."" "You shouldn't have buried me." "I'm not dead." "Take that, motherfucker!" "Kristen, Freddy's back!" "I'll see you in hell." "Tell 'em Freddy sent ya." "One down... two to go." "Wait." "How's this for a wet dream?" "Kristen!" "Help!" "Show it!" "Hi, guys." "Sorta defeats the purpose, don't it?" " What?" " The mirror." "You can't see yourself in it." "I don't want to." "You know, if Mom was still alive..." "Dad wouldn't treat us like this." "Alice, you gotta learn to stand up for yourself." "You know, fight back." "Like that." "It's all in the mind." "You see yourself doing something... and your body reacts and does it." "Like so." "Like that." "Now you do it." "Me?" "No, I can't." " Yeah, you can." " No, I can't." "Yes, you can." "Just get up there and just..." "Like that." "Big and strong." "Do it." "Good, but, Alice-san... you must have balance." "So go to it." "Swish." "Killed a fish." "Joey, I'm getting tired of picking up your clothes." "And this crap..." "I wish you'd turn it off." "Here you are." "Where were you this morning?" "Rick's looking all over." "Have you seen Joey and Kincaid?" "I can't find them." "I'm sure they're around." "Well, I'm not so sure." "We have matching luggage again." "The bags under your eyes." "Nightmares?" "God, I hate dreaming." "I love to dream." "I just hate the ones about my dad." "How do you handle your nightmares?" "My mom taught me when I was little." "Did you ever hear of the dream master?" "Sounds like a game show host to me." "No, it's a rhyme." "Just have to dream about someplace fun." "Remember, you're in control." "How do you know so much about dreams?" "When it's all you have, you kinda become an expert." "We better get going... before your brother starts a search party." "Anyway, Kafka and Goethe have never been irreconcilable." "Kris, where were you?" " Hey, what..." " He killed them!" "What?" "Wait!" "Calm down!" "Hey, somebody help her." "Feeling better now?" "Yeah, I guess so." "What happened?" "You had quite a nasty bump." "I gotta get out of here!" "Now, now, now." "You stay put." "You need to rest." "You don't get it." "He's after me." "It's OK, honey." "I wanna draw some blood." "Feeling better now?" "What happened?" "You had quite a nasty bump." "You seen Rick around?" "You are his sister, right?" "Rick stayed late after school." "Kristen wasn't feeling very well." "Could you tell him I'm looking for him?" "Oh, by the way, I'm Dan." "Sorry, Alice." "Your shift's over." "My table now." "Hi, guys." "Hi, Dan." "How are you doing?" "Hi." "Can I get just a Coke and some fries?" "Do you wanna hear our specials, or do you want any dessert?" "Oh, hi, handsome." "Care for some buns?" " Here." " You in a hurry?" "Gotta get to the library before it closes." "Killer physics test." "I know." "I hardly have any time to study." "Maybe you shouldn't be working here so much." "You don't want to wait tables the rest of your life." "I know." "It's my greatest fear." "You know, he is so cute." " I wonder where he works out?" " Save it, Deb." "I mean, there is life after exercise." "One of these days..." "I'm gonna set you up with a real guy... teach you to get your priorities straight." "I think Sheila's more interested... in dissecting bodies than their outsides." "Give her time." "Her hormones will kick in some day." "Deb, later in life, you'll appreciate my motto." " What's that?" " Mind over matter." "I'll see you later, OK?" "Alice, can you leave here?" "What's wrong?" "Kincaid and Joey died last night." "What?" "Hey, Rick, come here!" "Stay with her." "Kristen, what happened?" "Look, you're gonna hear all kinds of stories." "And after all we've been through together... how could I let him get to them?" "We were a team." "I'm gonna get that son of a bitch." "Who?" "Rick, we gotta go." " Now." " I'm coming." "Before it's too late." "I gotta go." "I guess I'll talk to you later." "So, why the haunted house?" "It's not just a house." "It's his home." "He's waiting in there for me to dream." "Hey, it's OK." "We're with you." "I told you, you can't help me." "This isn't a normal nightmare." "I'm history." "I don't get it." " Come on." " Jeez." "What'd I miss?" "She told us a story about Freddy." "Fred Krueger." "He's a town legend." "He was a child killer freed on a technicality." "So?" "So, a lot of parents got pissed off... and, according to Kris... they hunted him down and roasted him... like a Thanksgiving turkey." "Nice neighbourhood." "Anyway, that's where it gets weird." "She says that he comes back in dreams." "And if he kills you in your dream... you're dead for real." "Now I lay me down to sleep." "The master of dreams, my soul I'll keep." "Dream master." "I think I remember the rhyme." "Kristen, get the hell away from that house!" "i Andale!" "You don't have to go if you don't want to." "I'll take care of you." "I better go." "OK... but I'll call you tonight, and we'll get through this." "Shotgun." "Something the matter with the cuisine?" "Well, Mom, I'll tell you... when two of your friends die in the same day... let me know what it does to your appetite." "You're just tired." "Don't think I haven't noticed you aren't sleeping." "That has got to stop, honey." "What's wrong with me?" "Adolescent anxiety." "That'll make it better." "Oh, God." "Mom, what did you do?" "Jesus!" "Sleeping pills?" "Look, Kristen, I'm sorry." "Sorry?" "Sorry that you and your tennis pals... torched this guy, and now he's after me?" "In case you haven't been keeping score... it's his fucking banquet, and I'm the last course!" "We went over this in therapy!" "No, Mother." "You just murdered me." "Take that to your goddamn therapy." "Dream someplace fun." "Thanks, Alice." "Hi, little girl." " What's your name?" " Alice." "I have a friend named Alice." "Elm Street's last brat." "Farewell." "We beat you before!" "And now you're all alone!" "Kristen, why don't you... call on one of your little friends?" "Maybe they could help." "Never!" "I'm the last!" "Why don't you reach out... and cut someone?" "How sweet." "Fresh meat." "Alice, wake up and get out!" "Alice, I'm so sorry." "It was a mistake." "I pulled you in." "Alice, come to Daddy." "Leave her alone, you son of a bitch!" "Now no one sleeps." "The souls of my children." "You'll need my power." "Are you OK?" "Kristen..." "we've gotta get to her house!" "Oh, God!" "Kristen!" "Let me go." "Hi, Alice." "Wish you were here." "Your horrible brother's up to his old tricks." "Rick, as long as I've known you, I've always wanted to ask... what the hell this shit is you put in your hair." "I want his body." "That's bullshit." "What else do you want?" "She wants my body." "Alice, what are you doing?" "I don't know." "It makes me feel better." "What are you doing?" "Hello, baby." "Great." "You made her so happy then." "Until all this Freddy shit." "Why didn't I just stay with her?" "It wouldn't have made any difference." "Sure it would have." "No." "I saw it happen in my dream." "There was this horrible man." "I don't wanna hear about Freddy, OK?" "I heard it all from Kristen, so stop it." "I could smell the smoke." "I could feel the heat from the fire." " It wasn't a dream!" " Just stop it!" "She wasn't crazy and neither are you... so just cut it out." "Please." "Jeez." "Why are you acting this way?" "I don't know, Rick." "I just feel so different." "Something happened in the dream." "And now it's like part of her is with me." "I love you, too!" "Hello, everyone!" "Girl, I am so dead on my feet." " We have matching luggage." " What do you mean?" "You didn't sleep last night?" "It's that obvious, huh?" " Then you saw him, too." " Saw who?" "I was up all night cramming for that physics test." "Oh, and I put this little baby together." "You know Deb's afraid of bugs." "I made it for her." "Ultrahigh sound waves." "It'll make 'em run, screaming their antennas off." "Look, I'll see you in class, OK?" "I don't smoke." "All right, you've got forty minutes." "So good luck." "Go for it." "Help me!" "Help!" "Wake up!" "Wake up, damn it!" "Wanna suck face?" "Sheila, wake up!" "You flunked." "Give her her thing." "Didn't you see it?" "He was here." "What are you talking about?" "He was here!" "Step back, please." "Stand back." "Asthma attack?" "What 17-year-old has fatal asthma?" "God, she was gonna be a doctor." " It was Freddy." " Enough with that crap!" "I saw it." "It was my dream." "I brought Sheila in." "Oh, God." "I brought Sheila in like Kristen did with me." "No, don't!" "I gave Sheila to him!" "And now she's dead!" "I really think Kristen's story is getting to her." "Dan, I really don't know if it's a story." "Look at us." "We're dropping off like flies here." " Good seeing you." " Bye." "Come on." "Excuse me, miss." "Can I get a pack of gum?" "Hey." "Where you been?" "I haven't seen you around." "I've been working double shifts." "Guess you need the extra money, huh?" "Look, you know why." "You don't want to believe me." "Don't you understand?" "I can't sleep." "Someone might die." "Let's say that this is real, right?" "Why, all of a sudden, is this Freddy guy after you?" "Kristen was the last child left of the people who killed Freddy." "Maybe Freddy can't get to the new kids... unless there's someone to bring them to him." "We're gonna be late for the drive-in." "I have to get back." "I guess I'll see you later." "Ninety-three days till summer vacation, man." " You tired?" " No." "Worried." "Let's see if we can make it until summer." "It's like open season around here." "Pretty weird stuff." "Speaking of weird, you gotta feel for that guy." "Dead girlfriend, basket case for a sister..." "Shut up, asshole!" "What a dick." "You know..." "You look wasted, man." "I've been up with Alice." "Hey, how's she doing?" "I saw her last night at the diner." "She's blaming herself for Sheila." "I know how she feels." "I think about Kristen all the time." "Maybe I could have stopped it if I'd have listened." "You mean Freddy?" "What else?" "You ever take a look at our town's history?" "It's not exactly a safe place to be a teenager." "Hey, bozos, let's hustle... now." "Well, if I'm next, watch your back, man." "Where were we?" "Every society, dating back to the ancients... has had theories regarding dreams." "What they mean, how to control them." "Aristotle believed during sleep your soul roams free." "What it sees are dreams." "The skilled dreamers are able to control what they see." "There is a myth that there's two gates your soul can enter." "One is a positive gate... the other a negative gate." "The key element is that there's a dream master... someone who guards the positive gate... and, in fact, protects the sleeping host." "Taken altogether, they offer a fascinating perspective... on ancient history." "Those of you who don't find it fascinating... you better listen up, because it's on the final." "Rick, make me laugh." "Going down." "What?" "A true warrior needs no eyes." "Come on out and fight me, you chickenshit!" "Ninja warriors have calm." "Find your balance, Rick!" "Too wimpy to show yourself, Krueger?" "Well, how's this for balance?" "Banzai." "How you gonna fight me without your weapon, Freddy?" "Sayonara, Rick-san!" "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..." "I shall fear no evil... for Thou art with me with Thy rod and Thy staff." "They comfort me." "Dearly bereaved, we gather here in remorse for RickJohnson... a young man whose death confounds and mystifies us... for Rick was in his prime, beloved by all... exemplary of young men's ideals... and of strong moral fibre." "We grieve our loss but take comfort in knowing such a man... rests in the kingdom of God." "Let our faith supersede our knowledge... for truly the Lord works in mysterious ways." "Hello, baby!" "I love this." "They think I'm dead, don't they?" "This is great." "Hey." "What's with the tears?" "I wouldn't leave ya." "Come on, don't cry." "I'm here." "It was a big joke to fool Freddy." "Come on, smile for me." "No more daydreams." "Well, gotta go." "Good night." "You OK?" "Not really." "Is there anything we can do?" "I don't think so." "I guess this is my own war." "No, it's not." "We all have to survive." "I mean, I don't spend hours working out... to let some night stalker beat me." "You don't really get it." "He's not a night stalker." "And it'll take more than bench presses to beat him." "So what do we do?" "Let's go over to Debbie's tonight." "We have to make a plan." "I got to go." "How about I pick you up at the diner at 8:00?" "Here." "It's a good luck charm." "Brings bad luck to the creep you flatten with it." "This is it." "Mind over matter." "Mind over matter?" "Sheila used to say that." "God, every day, she changes." "No." "It's after every death." "What's happening to me?" "Alice, where are you going?" "Just to see Debbie." "No, you're not." "I want you to stay in." "Dad, I gotta go, and there's nothing you can do about it." "You have no right to stop me." "If you just knew what was going on." "I know very much what's going on with you and your friends." "Everybody thinks they know, but they don't." "Look at me, Alice." "I lost Rick because I didn't watch him." "I don't want to lose you." "We're all we have." "All the towns in America... and I gotta move to the Bermuda Triangle." "That's great." "What'll it be?" "Come on, honey." "I don't want to be here forever." "If the food don't kill ya, the service will." "Help us, Alice!" "The usual." "No, Alice, don't let him do it!" "My favourite." "No!" "Come on, no!" "Eeney, meeney, miney..." "Come on, no!" "Moe!" "No, Alice, don't let him do it!" "Rick, you little meatball." "I love soul food." "No!" "No!" "Stop!" "Bring me more." "Your shift is over." "Come on." "We have to hurry!" " What's going on?" " I'm driving." "He's going after Debbie." "I've got to stop him." "We got to stop him." "I'm with you on this thing." "I want to help you." "I'm on your side, OK?" "Here we are." "Come on." "We have to hurry!" " What's going on?" " I'm driving." "I don't believe in you." "I believe in you." "No pain... no gain." "He's going after Debbie." "I've got to stop him." "Help me!" "Here we are." "Come on." "We have to hurry!" " What's going on?" " I'm driving." "He's going after Debbie." "I've got to stop him." "I get the weirdest feeling we've done this before." "Come on." "We have to hurry." "I'm driving." "Oh, my God." "We're both asleep." "He's got us going in circles." "We got to go!" "You can check in, but you can't check out." "What the hell was that?" "She's gone." "I've collected her like the others." "All right, I'm gonna punch his ticket in." "I'm sorry." "All right, get him in there." "Base, this is med seven." "We have a male Caucasian, 16-18 years of age." "Multiple lacerations about the head and neck area." "Possible internal injuries." " What's that do?" " Relaxes your boyfriend." " Put the needle down." " Rules is rules." "He stays awake!" "Those are my rules, understand?" "Are you nuts?" "He's allergic, OK?" "You should have said something in the first place." "Damn kids." "Don't let them put you to sleep." "We have to get ready for him." " When does he have surgery?" " Fifteen minutes." "Let him be, Alice!" "They're gonna kill him!" "What are you talking about?" "Let me go!" "Alice!" "Damn it!" "Get back here!" "Come on!" "No." "No gas." "No gas." "No." "Don't put..." "Fuckin' "A."" "Well, it ain't Dr Seuss." "Get away from him, you son of a bitch!" " I saw him." "He was here." " I know." "We have to get out of this place." "Out for a spin, lovebirds?" "Dan, hold on!" "Alice, it's too late." "He's haemorrhaging." "Bring him out of it!" "Hurry!" "You got to put me back under now!" "Relax, son." "It was rough, but we pulled you out." "You're gonna be OK." "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four, better lock your door" "Five, six, grab your crucifix" "Seven, eight, better stay up late" "Seven, eight, better stay up late" "Nine, ten, never sleep again" "Welcome to Wonderland, Alice." "You've got their power." "I've got their souls." "Come on." "Banzai." "You think you've got what it takes?" "I've been guarding my gate for a long time, bitch." "I am eternal." "Now I lay me down to sleep." "The master of dreams, my soul I'll keep." "In the reflection of my mind's eye..." "Evil will see itself, and it shall die!" "Let them out!" "You're dead, Krueger." "Thank you, Alice." "You saved us." "Freedom." "Rest in hell." "You know, I slept through all of last night... and I haven't done that in days." "I'm still having trouble." "I can sleep two, maybe three hours, if I'm lucky." "I don't mind, though." "I have more reasons to stay awake now." "Come on." "Make a wish." "Come on, you don't believe in that stuff." "Yeah, I do, and I think you do, too." "Here it goes." "What'd you wish for?" "If I tell you, it won't come true." "Sixty-eight... sixty-nine..." "Come on, will you?" "Shut up!" "You'll make me lose the count." "Seventy-two..." "Seventy-three." "Close enough." "It's a hundred." "Let's go." "No, wait!" "Hey, Alice!" "Alice, wake up!" "Jesus." "And as adults, we must now prepare for a new life... outside this wonderful environment... known as Springwood High." "So let's blow this pop stand!" "Alice!" "Yvonne!" "Girl, what's wrong?" "Let's see a smile." "I had kind of a long night." "Dan keeping you up again?" "Girl, you better put a lock on that window." "The Dan part was nice." "These things are wild." "What do you think?" "You look like a nun." "Dying to break her vows." "Find me a man!" "Fabulous." "Maybe I should spell it out for you." "Maybe God's trying to tell you something." "When are you gonna run away with me?" "Next life." "What's that?" "My undying love." "Have some." "Mark, give it up." "It's hopeless." "I think I'm starting to wear her down." "Have a taste anyway." "Greta!" "That's not what a cover girl puts in her body!" "Shit!" "She read you." "Ladies, where's the party tonight?" "Why don't we go to Alice's?" "No." "My dad's got this thing about drinking in the house." "We gotta do something." "Guys, I got swimming practise until six-thirty." "So?" "They're gonna give me the key, so I can lock up after I'm done." "Pool party!" "Oh, damn, I gotta work tonight!" "Hey, Mark!" "Picture time!" "Come get immortalized..." "parents and brats." "Greta!" "Photo opportunity, dear!" "Damn it, they caught me." "I have to go gnash my teeth for the paparazzi." "You guys go on." "I'll catch up with you later." " Hey, beautiful." " Oh, Jesus, don't do that!" "Sorry." "I got a present for you." "You got the tickets?" "Yeah." "They're coach seats... but this plane stops in Paris." "It's gonna be a great summer." "Yeah, I know." "Hey... what's the matter?" "Nothing." "It's just..." "I didn't see my dad at the ceremony." "Well, he'll show up." "Hey, come on." "What's really wrong?" "I had one of those dreams last night." "About him?" "Well, not exactly." "It's that I just felt like I wasn't in control... for the first time since all that." "Look, if you don't dream him up, he can't hurt you or us." "Remember?" "You're right." "There you go." "Love you." " I love you." " Hey, Danny!" "Dan!" "You look sweet today." "Hello, darling." "Dan, this is Coach Ostrow." "He's interviewing next week." "Finest quarterback in the state." "You know what they say... this boy feels the need for speed." "So I've heard." "Dad, could we get into this later?" "Summer's just starting." "Dan, we're talking about your future here." "Excuse us, dear." " Listen." " It's OK, Dan." "We take care of our boys." "Say "cheese."" ""Congratulations, Alice." "You looked beautiful up there." "I'm so proud of you."" ""Gee, thanks, Dad."" "You do look beautiful." "I was afraid you weren't coming." "I watched from behind the stands." "I didn't want to embarrass you." ""The drunk showed up." That kind of thing." "That's in the past." "Unless you've stopped going to your meetings." "No." "A deal's a deal." "Come on." "Where are we going?" "Oh... to take a picture." "I don't take good pictures." "Call me when your shift ends, OK?" "Goodbye, sir." "Don't worry." "I'll have her home by August." "Just kidding." "See you later." "Thanks for everything, Dad." "You sure you don't want a ride to work?" "No." "It's just across the park." "Have fun tonight." "Oh, sorry!" "Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four" "Better lock your door" "Five, six" "Grab your crucifiix" "Seven, eight" "Better stay up late" "Seven, eight" "Better stay awake" "Nine, ten" "He's back again" "Wait!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "There's nothing to be afraid of." "Just do exactly what I say." "Help me!" "Why is this happening again?" "Oh, please don't let him do this!" "Don't panic, Amanda." "We have a breech birth here." "It's backward!" "We're going to have to turn it around." "Take a deep breath." "I'm going to need you to push." "Now push!" "Holy shit." "What is it?" "Careful!" "Sister, this is one of God's creatures." "Take solace in that." "That is no creature of God!" "Stop it!" "Give it to me!" "Don't let it get away!" "Where are you?" "No!" "Not again!" "It's a boy!" "You can't come back!" "I locked the door on you." "Well, I found the key!" "Your birth was a curse on the whole of humanity." "I will not allow it to happen again." "You brought me back to give you life... but now I must take yours." "We'll see, bitch." "We'll just see." "I must be released from my earthly prison." "How?" "Look for me in the tower." "You'll never fiind her." "Anne." "Oh, God, I'm glad it's you." " It was terrible." " What happened?" "I was in the dream... and I don't know how, but now he's back." "I thought you were dead." "You're four hours late." "Four hours?" "I wish I had a prescription for whatever it is you're on." "What?" "Listen, thanks a lot, Alice, for nada." "Bombs away!" "What'd your dad say about you and Alice going to Europe?" "Nothing, really." "Just screamed a lot... and tried to convince me that I'm throwing my life away." "Who's throwing their life away?" "Dan, and he's taking Alice with him." "Pretty good dive, Yvonne." "You've been practising." "That's right." "Two hours a day, six days a week." "Have another one." "I think you need it." "No." "I got a shift in a couple of hours." "Aren't you going in?" "No." "My mom's got this asshole photographer coming over... and I'm not supposed to mess up my hair." "Aren't you sick of your mom trying to run your life?" "Don't let 'em." "Sure, no problem." "You know, he's right." "Sometimes I feel like I'm living with Melicertes." " Who?" " Melicertes." "He's this ancient guy I read about, right?" "Who, like, killed his kids... because he didn't like the way they were running the kingdom." "You're really weird, you know that?" "Screw 'em!" "Open the champagne!" "Let's have a party!" " All right!" " All right!" "That's for Alice and me later." "Sorry." " Ow, are you OK?" " Oh, my God." "I could have gone all night without looking at that." "I think it's very strange how you draw all your comics..." "loaded with blood and guts." "That freaks you out." "Yeah, it's just a little blood, guy." "I know what it is, you big, dumb jock." "Dan, telephone." "Come on." "I'll be right back." "Don't touch this, OK?" "OK, we'll guard it with our lives." " Dan, it was Krueger." " What?" "It happened while I was awake." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "Now, wait a second." "How could..." "He must have dreamt himself up." "I don't know." "Jesus, Dan, I'm scared." "All right." "Stay right there." "I'm on my way." "OK, I will." "Just hurry, OK?" "Shit." "What happened?" "Somebody die?" "Nah." "I got to go." "Alice beckons." "Hey, Romeo, forgot the secret ingredient." "There he goes, the fastest man on three legs." "The sounds of Springwood." "It's a beautiful evening here in downtown Springwood... and we'll be back with the music in just a moment." "Right now, we're open for your calls." "I'm calling about my wayward ex-son Daniel... who's been acting like an ungrateful dickweed... ever since he was seduced by that bimbo slut whore Alice!" "Mom?" "If I were you, lady..." "I'd kill the ungrateful piggy." "Put your pedal to the metal, Dan!" "Bad year, Dan!" "Better buckle up, dear!" "This boy feels the need for speed." "Gotcha!" "Fuel injection!" "Power drive!" "Fast lane!" "Hey, Danny, better not dream and drive." "Coffee, please?" "He just came fucking flying out of nowhere!" "It was some kind of a frigging jet!" "I didn't even see him!" "Want to make babies?" "You're all right." "It's OK, honey, I'm right here." "Dan's been in an accident." "It was no accident." "It was Krueger." "He used to come in through my dreams and not any more." "He found some other way." "I'm sorry." "It was no dream." "Dan's dead." "Not Dan." "Honey." "I'm so sorry." "Daddy, it wasn't an accident." "Krueger killed Dan." "Calm down." "Take it easy." "You're in shock." "The police found fragments of a champagne bottle." "Dan didn't drink." "You know that." "I mean, it was probably for me to celebrate our trip!" "We gotta do something!" "Dan's already dead." "Don't you see?" "It's starting again." "These sorts of outbursts aren't entirely uncommon." "Many women have them at the beginning." "Especially if they've suffered a traumatic shock." "Don't worry, young lady." "You're gonna be fline." "What do you mean?" "What's he talking about?" "What's wrong with me?" "Nothing." "You're just a little pregnant." "The doctor wants to keep you overnight." "Just for routine observation... to make sure you're as comfortable as possible." "You're gonna be fline, honey." "Everything's gonna be OK." "What's your name?" "Jacob." "Really?" "I've always loved that name." "Shouldn't you be in your room, Jacob?" "It's lonely there." "Well, my name is..." "I'm sorry your boyfriend got killed." "How did you know that?" "I could tell you were sad." "I just wanted to see if you were all right." "Jacob, wait." "Don't go." "Greta, dear... it's time to get your beauty sleep." "We don't want circles under those beautiful eyes." "Have you visited that little boy on my floor?" "You know, Jacob?" "He has kind of sad eyes." "There aren't any little boys on your floor." "He must have wandered in from the children's ward." "I was just wondering what's wrong with him." "We don't have a children's ward." "He was wearing a hospital robe." "I don't know what to tell you." "Did you call everyone?" "Yup." "Listen... let's keep this dream stuff between you and me, OK?" "Amanda Krueger was part of a religious order... that ran that asylum in the 1940s." "She was raped by the lunatics and had the baby there." "That baby grew up to be Freddy Krueger... who murdered twenty or thirty kids... right here on Elm Street." "He got caught... but the courts cut him loose on a technicality." "So, the parents of the murdered kids... got together and killed him." "Torched him." "But that was just the beginning." "He keeps on killing... but he kills people in their dreams... their nightmares." "He uses my dreams to bring him his victims." "It's my fault that Dan's dead." "Stop saying that." "That's bullshit." "Let's talk about the baby." "Yeah, congratulations." "I guess." "That's not what we're here for." "Look, Dan's parents were really pushing him hard." "He was bitching about it last night at the party." "He was under a lot of pressure." "We all are." "Pushy parents can drive you nuts." "What does that have to do with it?" "When Dan died, you weren't even asleep." "You even said so." "End of story." "He must have found some other way." "Listen to me!" "This isn't some kind ofjoke!" "He gets in through my dreams somehow... and I thought I could control it... but something's changed... and I don't know what he'll do next." "Look, Alice, we all know you're upset." "The bottom line, Alice... if anybody's trying to hurt you... supernatural or not... they're going to have to go through us fiirst." "All of us." "Right?" "That's what I'm afraid of." "How was the meeting?" " Sobering." " Very funny." "When did you become such a smart shopper?" "Ever since my little girl became a mom." "You disappointed in me?" "No, I'm not." "I sort of hope it's a boy." "It'd be nice to hear a boy playing in the house again." "Just don't make a habit of it." "It's true." "People are always mistaking us for sisters." "Greta certainly has the perfect body for modelling." "You know, Eileen Ford is a friend of mine." "I told her about you." "She's very interested." "Greta, you're being offered the opportunity of a lifetime." "I think you should show a little gratitude." "One of my friends died yesterday, Mother." "Do you mind if I take a few hours off to remember him?" "But we're having a party, dear." "I read about him." "Drunk or something, wasn't he?" "Oh, he was just a friend of Greta's." "Not someone special." "Not someone she was seeing." "You understand." "No, thank you." "I'm not hungry." "Aren't you eating?" "I really don't feel up to it." "Really, dear, you ought to try something." "You're the one who's always slapping my hand... about my weight, Mother." "That's why we diet, dear... so we can eat at social events and not upset the other guests." "Tell you what." "Why don't I just eat the whole goddam tray... go throw up, and come back for seconds, all right?" "Madam, if I may." "Bon appetit, bitch." "Filet de Barbie." "Nothing but the best for Greta." "Open wide!" "Second helping!" "Don't talk with your mouth full, dear!" "You are what you eat!" "Poor baby." "There." "Dad!" "Dad, help!" "Honey?" "How's dinner coming?" "I can't believe this shit is happening." "Just hang in there, Yvonne." "Man, I know Mark is gonna be wigging out." "We just got to keep tight." "We'll get through, OK?" "I know he's back here somewhere, girls." "I think he's pretty upset." "Mark, you OK?" "Fine." "Just aces." "I want to talk to you guys about Greta." "I'm terribly sorry, but Greta's dead today." "Perhaps we could interest you in someone else." "Look, it was an accident, just like Dan's." "No accident." "I tried to warn all of you about Krueger." "Alice, please." "I thought about that." "She must have fallen asleep while she was at the table." "This is getting a little sick, guys." "Too bad." "I don't understand what's happening." "Krueger has to use my dreams... but he got to Dan and Greta while I was awake." "How's he doing it?" "Why don't you two stick to reality?" "Why don't you shut up and let her talk?" "Two of us have died in the past two days." "Does that just strike you as particularly normal?" "I'm not fiinished." "I loved Greta, a lot." "And if maybe, just maybe... someone or something killed her..." "I'd like to hear about it." " I'm not gonna listen to this." " Then get out!" "Come on." "Yvonne, wait a minute." "I'm... sorry." "I'm an asshole, OK?" "I know I'm not dealing with this very well... but it's not your fault, and..." "I'm sorry." "It's OK." "You stick around for a while?" "I wish I could, but..." "I got a shift tonight." "I got to get going." "I'll stay with you for a while, if you want." "Bye, you guys." "See you." "Do you think I'm an idiot for being in love with her?" "Nobody thinks that." "I know I didn't stand a chance in hell, but..." "She cared a lot about you." "Maybe it was her mother who killed her... with all that Polly-Perfect shit." "It wasn't her mother." "We have these scumbags here on "The Hot Seat" tonight." "The Phantom Prowler wouldn't have been afraid... to tell her how he felt." "If I only had a tenth of his guts." "Jesus, he's not even real... and he's more of a human being than I am." "This guy isn't one of your comic book characters, Mark." "He's not the Phantom Prowler." "He's for real." "Tell me more about this Krueger guy." "You look tired." "Why don't I make some coffee?" "There's a lot to tell." "Help!" "Mark, take my hand!" "Take it!" "We got to get out of here." "Mark, come on." "Oh, shit." "You don't look very well." "Are you feeling all right?" "Been having bad dreams." "Is this where you live, Jacob?" "Just waiting for someone." "It's sad about Greta." "Is that who you're waiting for?" "I don't think this is a very nice place for you to be." "Maybe we should go look for your mom." "She doesn't want me around." "Oh, I'm sure that's not true." "I'll bet she's very worried about you." "I would be." "No, you're not!" "You don't even care about being a mom." "How come you don't think about me?" " Who said I..." "What?" " I like you." "I want to stay with you." "How come you don't like me?" "Who said I don't like you?" "My friend with the funny hand." "Come on, honey." "We're gonna get out of here." "No, I have to go now." "He's calling me." "Jacob, wait!" "Holy shit." "He's really real, isn't he?" "Are you OK?" "He's doing something to my baby." "I know it." "He's trying to hurt Jacob." "Who's Jacob?" "My baby." "What, you named him already?" "I guess so." "I got to get away from here." "Someplace where Krueger can't fiind him." "Slow down." "Now, how you gonna hide from a guy like that, huh?" "Leave the planet?" "I don't know." "Look... if you're worried about your baby... call Yvonne and have the doctor check him out." "I'm gonna go see what else I can fiind out about Krueger." "You had me scared on the phone." "What's wrong with the baby?" "You had me scared on the phone." "What's wrong with the baby?" "I think Krueger's trying to do something to him." "Alice!" "Honey, no." "I love you, but you're gonna have to get ahold of yourself." "Mark knows I'm not crazy." "Ask him to show you his hands." "I think you just need to calm down, OK?" "I can't figure out how he's getting in when I'm awake." "Do unborn babies dream?" "They do." "But do us both a favour." "Don't mention any of this to Dr Moore." "I can't believe you had me drag Dr Moore down here... on a Sunday morning for this." "I'm sorry, Yvonne." "I thought it was something serious." "If this isn't serious, I don't know what is." "Don't dare say a word." "You're gonna get me fiired." "Dr Moore, do unborn babies dream?" "As the fetus develops... it can spend up to seventy percent of its day... in a dream state." "More as it matures." "Will I be able to sense them?" "Is that why you're here?" "To see if your baby's having nightmares?" "We're here to find out everything we can, aren't we?" "Frankly, I have found nothing about you... that would indicate the necessity of ultrasound... at this stage of your pregnancy." "I just want to make sure my baby's all right." "Well, the heart seems strong." "Let's hear it." "There's your baby." "Get her fille." "See any family resemblance?" "Feeding time." "Soul food for my boy." "Don't touch him!" "What's he doing to my baby?" "Please, young lady, try to keep calm." "Your baby is perfectly healthy." "A little large for so early on... but as normal as I've ever seen." "He's taking their souls, their spirits... and making the baby like him." "Look, sweetie, you're tired." "You'll feel much better after I take you home... and get some rest, OK?" "Come on, let's go." "Come on." "Greta and Dan were there." "Krueger killed them." "Now he was... feeding them to Jacob." "Alice, stop and listen to yourself." "Do you know what you sound like?" "Completely insane, but I'm not." "And if you're my friend, you would believe me a little." "I am your friend, and I'm worried sick about you." "It's time to leave the Twilight Zone and face reality." " Krueger is reality." " So is your baby." "You got more to think about than yourself." "What do you think I'm doing?" "Look... whether you believe it or not, Krueger is back." "He's after my baby... and if I don't try to do something about it, who will?" "by acting like a crazy woman." "Why don't you take off?" "Leave Springwood." "Cool off for a while." "God damn it, you don't run away from this guy!" "He fiinds you in your dreams!" "He found a lot of other people before he found us." " You, too?" " He invited me to his house." "Look, we're all tired... and we haven't had any sleep since Friday night." "That's the only reason you're alive." "No, it's not!" "Look through this stuff, will you?" "She's not crazy!" "You OK?" "I know what's happening." "Krueger's using Jacob's dreams." "We gotta stop him." "Well, there is... one way." "Have you thought about not having the baby?" "I mean, no baby..." "no baby's dreams." "No, I can't do that." "I saw him inside of me, growing." "He's part of me and Dan." "I want to keep him." "OK, then we'll fiind another way." "I've seen her." "Alice, can you come down a minute?" "MrJordan and I wanted to see how you're feeling." "Well, come sit down." "This really isn't a good time." "Maybe you could come back." "Frankly, we wondered what you intend to do with your baby." "What I what?" "Well, I've thought about it, and I plan to keep him." "We were concerned that all this... might be a little bit too much for you." "I mean, being single and everything." "What MrJordan means is that we're aware of the burden... that raising a child would place on you." "We want to help." "We want to adopt it and raise it as though it were our own." "Look, I appreciate what you're offering... but, no." "He's my responsibility." "And ours." "It's our grandchild." "Now, Doris, maybe this wasn't such a good idea." "Alice, we're worried that in your present condition... that you don't have the ability... to take care of a child." "What are you talking about, "my condition"?" "We got a call from Dr Moore." "He said that Alice was hysterical... and that she was having paranoid delusions." "You don't understand." "We know you've been through a lot... but there is more at stake here than just your feelings." "You're not taking my baby." "Well, the courts might not agree with you." "But I do." "I've heard enough of this crap." "You think you can just walk into my house... and threaten my daughter?" "Please, we have a legitimate claim to it." "He's not a thing." "He's part of me... and I'm not giving him to you or anyone else!" "They think I'm nuts." "That's their problem." "No, it's our problem." "If I don't deal with this... they really might try to take Jacob." "You said she committed suicide." "Yeah, that's what the papers thought." "She spent the rest of her life in the asylum." "After Krueger's trial, she flipped out... and hung herself..." "so they thought." "Meaning?" "Meaning... they couldn't prove it." "No body." "But I've seen her grave." "Ah, empty plot." "A memorial stone." "Vacant." "They never put her under." "Cool, huh?" "I don't understand." "If she killed herself, her soul's gonna be in torment." "Where'd you hear that?" "Right here, somewhere." "Yeah. "Transmigration..." ""Soul of a sinner..."" "Yeah. "Trapped in its earthly resting place."" "In the dream, she was trying to stop him." "She started to tell me how, then the door slammed." "He must have done it." "We have to find where she died to release her soul." "I want you to stay awake and watch me, OK?" "No problem." "Hey, you missed practise." "What happened?" "You fall in love?" "Don't ask." "You don't even want to know." "Pool still open?" "I think, if you hurry." "Let's rock... and roll!" "Where are you going, piglet?" "The party's just starting." "I know exactly what you're up to." "I thought I was up to Yvonne!" "Why don't you just shut up?" "What happened?" "He's scared to come in because of Amanda." "Hey, are you all right?" "Oh, God." "You're not crazy." "We have to find Amanda." "She's the key." "Come on." "Come on." "Jesus." "Mark, help me, please!" "Is she delicious, or am I crazy?" "You leave her alone!" "Time to die, you scar-faced limp-dick!" "Faster than a bastard maniac!" "More powerful than a loco-madman!" "It's..." "Super Freddy!" "Told you comic books was bad for ya!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, shit!" "Damn it!" "Nothing in that room was up to code." "It's a miracle they both weren't killed." "No!" "He won't hurt me." "He needs me alive." "Who?" "What's she talking about?" "No, she's just very upset." "Maybe both of you should come down to the station." "What's going on?" "Where's Mark?" "Mark fell asleep." "Krueger got him." "No!" "God!" "Hey, come on!" "I need you to be strong now!" "Listen, we have to get to Krueger... before he gets to Jacob again." "How do we stop him?" "Through Amanda." "So... we have to fiind her?" "Just don't ask me to take a Jacuzzi with that guy again." "You know..." "I was in the tower when he used you to distract me." "What are we gonna do?" "I want you to go to the asylum... the one I told you about, where all of this started... and fiind her!" "Alice, you're coming home with me." "No, Dad, I've got something to do." "Alice, you're coming with me right now." "Find Amanda!" "And hurry!" "Come on out, Krueger!" "The game's over!" "I was stronger than you!" "So you picked on Jacob!" "You bastard!" "You're trying to make him like you... so you can live through his dreams!" "Well, I won't let you!" "You hear me, Krueger?" "OK, if you won't talk to me... maybe you'd like to talk to Amanda!" "Come on, you fucking coward!" "Good night, asshole!" "I'm your real friend, Jacob." "Just like a daddy." "I gotcha!" "I gotcha!" "Mommy, meet my friend." "Nice try, Alice." "Thanks, babe." "It's my new look." "Like it?" "Come downstairs." "He won't hurt you." "He needs us both." "I've got you both." "Come on, Jacob." "It's time to go home." "Jacob, run!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come to Papa!" "It's all right, son." "Now come with me." "Jacob, he's not your father!" "Kids." "Always a disappointment." "Where is he?" "Inside you... where he hides." "What do you mean?" "Where he hides out." "Inside." "That's how he found me." "But how?" "He says it's easy because he knows you so well." "All right, Krueger... this time it's for keeps!" "Come on, Alice... now we can really get to know each other." "Thank you." "Jacob!" "Alice will not triumph!" "Only you can help her now." "Hey, leave her!" "Let's go!" "I want to learn stuff from you." "She's no fun any more." "Teach me?" "Now, Jacob." "Unleash the power he has given you." "School's out, Krueger." "Stay back!" "Take your baby and leave!" "Let me out!" "You do good work, Alice." "So did Dan." "Is he still keeping you up at night?" "Oh, it's OK." "He has the rest of his life to catch up on his sleep." "Hi, honey." "Sweet dreams, Jacob Daniel." "Hey, sugar." "How's my little grandson, huh?" "Look." "Hungry?" "Mm-hmm." "We all are." "Hey, sweetie." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "You'll notice the "fasten seat belts" sign is on." "Passing through a little turbulence here." "Unfortunately, we can't get up over it... and we can't get underneath it, so... just hang in there." "Excuse me, miss?" "Can I have a different seat, please?" "Oh, I'm afraid we're full tonight, sir." "You're gonna have to stay put." "Thanks anyway." "He's going to make you help him... because you're the last." "Listen..." "I really need to change this seat." "I'm sorry." "There's nothing I can do." "I'm afraid of heights." "Don't be a pussy." "It's not fair!" "I was almost out!" "Shit!" "I'll get you, my pretty... and your little soul, too!" "One ticket." "Round trip." "Hurry up, boy." "You don't wanna miss the bus." "No screaming while the bus in in motion." "Now be a good little doggy... and go fetch!" "Spencer, I wanna make sure you understand our situation." "In one week, you walk out of here... and I expect some changes in your behavior when you get home." "I know you're hearing me." "I put you in here because you gave me no choice." "Next time, I'll leave you here." "Thanks for the visit, Dad." "Nice job on my kid." "I expected to see some improvement." "He isn't a Toyota." "What a jerk." "You OK?" "Yeah." "Dad just came by to lay down some ground rules... for when I come home... no more running away, no more setting his cars on fire." "There are other ways to get his attention... besides blowing up the garage." "Yeah." "He barely even blinked." "All he wants me to do now is grow up to be him... an exact copy." "I don't feel like playing football and date-raping coeds." "One of these days, you're going to have to face your father." "Maggie..." "look what I found in Spencer's room." "A pipe bomb, huh?" "That?" "Just showing the kids survival techniques." "Been confiscating stuff like this all week." "Where do they get it?" "I'll put this downstairs with the rest of the arsenal." "Weren't the police supposed to dispose of this stuff?" "The police are supposed to do a lot of things." " Get your hands off of me!" " Tracy!" " What's the problem?" " She was beating on another kid." "He was hitting on me!" "She doesn't like to be touched." "We have a session today, yes?" "I have Doc's class." "Work around him." "I'm sorry, sir." "You seen this junkie before?" "No." "He's new." "Beautiful." "Another afternoon shot doing juvie paperwork." "Screw that shit." "Let's just scoop him up and take him to the shelter." "Let the bleeding hearts do the typing." "That's it." "Come on, Tracy." "That's it." "Oh, yeah." "She's bad." "The crowd loves her!" "She's getting ready... for the heavyweight champion boxing match of the world." "Hey, hey, hey." "Look at her go." "You know, you are sexy when you sweat." "You ain't gettin' none, Carlos!" "You wouldn't hit a guy with a handicap, would you?" "Oh, you call it a handicap?" "I call it chicken, man!" "Come on, let's spar." " No, no." "Forget it, Trace." " Come on..." "Don't tune out." "Why don't you talk back to her for once?" "Oh, yeah, right." "Like you talk back to your father?" "Let me tell you something." "I stopped talking back... when it became hazardous to my health, you know?" "So, are we set?" "Yeah." "No problem." "I gave the van driver our cash." "As long as we do it before dawn, we're home free." "We're gonna be livin' large in Cali before the week is out." "You better be sure, man." "Trust me, all right?" "I got it all covered." "I need to get outta here even more than you do." "You don't know shit about needing to get out!" "Your family's a picnic, rich boy!" "What?" "You think I hang around you morons by choice?" "Least your father didn't try to set you up... with his girlfriend's older sister." "Don't talk to me about fathers." "Yours come to visit, too?" "Yeah..." "every time I close my eyes." "That did it." "Yep." "OK." "They caught one of your star pupils... beating up on one of our kids again." "Thought you said you were making progress." "I only get twenty-three minutes a week with these kids." "With that kind of attention... you're lucky she didn't kill him." "That's a good attitude for a therapist." "Tracy's got some deep trauma buried inside of her head." "Conventional therapy is not going to work." "And dream therapy is, huh?" "You're such a hippie." "I can reach these kids through their dreams." "You give me a chance, I can help you with your little problem." "I don't have a little problem." "I just have a little reoccurring dream... and I'm handling it fine." "And you are not being paid to be a dream doctor." "I'm barely being paid." "That's why I gotta do what I think is right." "This is new." "You like it?" "These are ancient dream demons." "Supposedly they roam the dreams of the living... till they find the most evil, twisted... human imaginable." "Then they give him the power to cross the line... and turn our nightmares into reality." "Maggie, cops just brought in another kid." "Real mess." "Hasn't sleep for days, bad case of amnesia." "We need your evaluation right away." "How long have you been awake?" "As far as I can remember?" "I don't know." "About three days." "Looks more like three weeks." "Yeah, well, that's the wonder of amnesia... always keeps you guessing." "Where you from?" "I don't know!" "All I know is that wherever I'm from..." "I was the last." "The last what?" "Survivor." "Look, do you have any... caffeine pills or coffee?" "Maybe some coke?" "I meant the soda." "Sit down." "Why do you want to stay awake?" "Because if I fall asleep..." "I'm not waking up." "Why do you think that?" "I don't think it." "I feel it." "If I fall asleep... there's gonna be trouble." "Springwood." "Water tower." "Four thousand five hundred and sixty-seven" "Bottles of beer on the wall" "Four thousand five hundred and sixty-seven" "Bottles of beer" "If one of those bottles should happen to fall" "What a case of..." "Four thousand five hundred and sixty-six" "Bottles of beer on the wall" "I won't tell." "Now you're it." "Remember what you have to do." "You got to tag me." "That's it." "Come to Daddy." "Play with me." "Tell me who I am." "I won't tell." "Free me, you idiot!" "I'm your fucking memory!" "Oh, shit." "Asshole." "What were you dreaming about?" "A room." "A house." "A little girl." "Something about the town from my article." "I remember a water tower." "The article... do you remember where you got it?" "The little girl..." "what did she look like?" "Brown hair with... red ribbons." "I don't like it." "There's some connection between your dreams and his dreams... and his dreams mean bad news." "I know you think I'm crazy, but I can feel it." "Why can't anybody talk about anything but dreams around here?" "I'm so sick of hearing about this bullshit!" "You don't believe that." "You think solving this boy's puzzle can help with your own." "I don't have a puzzle." "Yes, you do." "And although you think you know everything... you may not be ready to face what this boy will show you." "I never said I wanted to go back there." "I've dealt with amnesiacs before." "Take you to Springwood, it's gonna trigger something... some spark to help you remember." "I don't need a spark to remember that it was a bad place." "You want a spark?" "You go." "I'll stay here, sparkless but happy." "I'll be right there with you." "Don't worry." "Kelly, we're gonna take the van for awhile." "I told you not to let me fall asleep." "Was that too much to ask for?" "Go back." "Oh, my God!" "Pull over!" "John, wake up!" "Shit." "Great." "Funny meeting you here." "Nice driving." "What the hell are you guys doing here?" "Great plan, asshole." " It almost worked, all right?" " I can't believe you people." "Pulling a stunt like that." "Oh, my God." "Look, the first thing we have to do is find a telephone... and you call Kelly and tell him where you are." "You understand?" "And then we have to figure out how to get you home." "Are you listening?" "Don't scream at me!" "It was your driving that almost killed us." "Two for a dollar, right here!" "Get 'em, two!" "Two for a dollar!" "First I want you to find a phone, call Kelly... and tell him you're all right." "Then I want you to get in that van... and drive straight back to the shelter." "Think you can handle that... or do I have to call the police?" "Get away from here." "You go away!" ""Or do I have to call the police?"" "She ain't my mother." "We want some peach cobbler here and..." " There are no kids." " What?" "Town fair... and there are no kids." " So what's up, Spence?" " This phone's out of order." "So is this town." "You are not kidding." "Oh, what beautiful, adorable children!" "Would you like to come and live with us?" "It's been so long since we've had children in the house." "So long." "This time, I swear it'll be different." "This time, I'll be careful... and I'll hide you better, so that he'll never find you." "Looky, I got your nose!" "Looky!" "Ethel!" "I want my children back!" "You know they bring him!" "Now see what you done did?" "!" "Jesus." " We're in Twin Peaks here." " Definitely." "Have we seen enough?" " Yeah." " Good." "Come on, back in the van." "That's a very good idea." "Now." "Go!" "Jeez." "I hope they make it." "Let's see what they can tell us at the school." " What?" " Somebody rang those bells." "Lucky us." "Trace, there's a map back here." "Did I say I needed a map?" "I can't get over the way those people looked at us." "Yeah, that was weird." "Shit." "Nice going." "Takes talent to travel in a complete circle." "And you're making me dizzy." "Jeez." "Do you have to do that?" "You're such a high ho, you know that?" "I don't play that shit." "I need all the senses I've got." "Put that fucking thing out." "It's hard enough staying awake... without you lighting up every ten seconds." " This relaxes me." " I'll relax you." "I'll just puncture your heart... mess up these seats." "You need to get laid." "Would you like the map now?" "No, I don't need any map." "No, of course not." " Why'd you stop?" " Look." "Oh, great." "Give me the map." "Not a word." "Carlos, I asked you for the map!" "What is this?" "!" "I asked you for the map." "What?" "Yeah, well, the map says we're fucked." "Look, you've had two chances." "Now it's my turn." "Dickhead." "Nice." "You'll all be expected to pass... both the written and an oral examination." "Don't disturb him." "You will need to study... this." "Now the dates." "Got to get the dates right." "Got to keep them in order." "If you get them out of order, you'll get very confused." "You were here." "What?" "Welcome... to Freddy 10 1." "1493..." "Freddy sailed across the sea." "These dates, they're all within a ten-year period." "What the hell happened here?" "Freddy happened here." "Here was the crucial point." "Anybody know what I'm getting at?" "Anybody?" "Hmm?" "Come on, people!" "We covered this!" "This is where they took away his child." "What child?" "Taken away... put in the town orphanage." "Freddy had a kid." "1494..." "Freddy came back... to look... for more." "There's no way out." "Not with you driving." "Yeah, well, you didn't do much better." "No, but at least I did it in half the time." "Come on." "Where are you going?" "Away." "Look, we're just too fried to see straight." "Let's just find Maggie." "I'm not turning myself over for any adult supervision." "This girl's getting some rest." "In fact, I think I see my kinda neighborhood up ahead... empty." "You know, she's losing it." "Sad thing is, I'm starting to like her." "That is sad." "Come on, Trace." "Wait up!" "This is the one." "We'll have it all to ourselves." " Bet there's no heat." " No plumbing, right?" "You'll survive." "Come on." "Where you going?" "Gonna go upstairs and find a bed." "Man, I'm tired." "I gotta find a bathroom." "This place makes the shelter look like the Ritz." "Great." "Well... at least it beats the streets, right, Carlos?" "Ohh, this is good." "I'm gonna get some sleep... and I will get us out of here in the morning." "Why do you think that kid said not to fall asleep?" "'Cause he's a lame-o freak." "Miss Maggie's pet psycho." "Where the hell are you?" "Why aren't you listening to me, Carlos?" "Tracy, where are you?" "Behind you." "Mama?" "Maybe you don't hear so good." "Maybe I clean out your ears for you." "No, no." "Mama, please, I've been a good boy." "You don't understand." "I've been good, Mama!" "Don't make me deaf, Mama!" "Please!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm not." "Oh, Carlos, lend me your ear." "Give me my hearing back!" "Where is it?" "Y-you wouldn't do that, would you, man?" "No, no, no!" "Please!" "No, man!" "Nice hearing from you, Carlos." "I can't find Carlos." "See what's on this TV?" "I'm gonna take the van." "I'm gonna look for him." "Give me some room!" "Don't fall asleep, man!" "Get out!" "Spencer, get out, man!" "Carlos, man... we were just looking for you." "Don't fall asleep, man!" "Spencer, you stupid stoner!" "We shouldn't even be here." "We're supposed to be finding out about you... not some dead killer's kid." "We might be talking about the same thing." "The whole town's obsessing on this Krueger character." "Don't you start." "But why else would they be afraid of me?" "Why else am I still alive when everybody else is dead?" "Skip, skip, skip to my loo" "Skip to my loo, my darling" "Martha, no running." "Everyone hold hands." "Oh, you've come back." "How nice." "Do you remember me?" "Well, of course I do, my boy." "I remember every one of my children." "Especially you." "What a pretty little girl you were." "And I remember you... and you." "Do you remember the Krueger child?" "Of course." "Who was it?" "We're not permitted to disclose a child's real identity." "Oh, Melissa." "Melissa." "You must let Bobby have the ball." "Come here." "That's all right." "We share." "I wonder who has a little bare footie around here?" ""K. Krueger."" "Could mean anything from Kevin to Kyle." "All it really means is there was a child here by that name." "No." "It's me." "I'm his kid." "That's why he's kept me alive." "He's trying to play some sick game with me." "He is dead, all right?" "He's dead, and you're not his kid." "How do you know?" "She remembered me." "She remembered me, too... and fifty other imaginary friends." "Let's get out of here." "Let's draw a picture." "We can draw pictures all day." "There you go." "Clippety-clop, clippety-clop." "Isn't that fun?" "I can't believe I found you." "What are you still doing here?" "I can't find Carlos... and Spencer's wasted at this old house." "We gotta get to them before Freddy does." " Who's Freddy?" " I'll tell you on the way." "Come on!" "God damn it!" "All right." "Once again." "This is your brain. on drugs." "Questions?" "Yeah!" "What are you on?" "Looks like a frying pan and some eggs to me." "Hey, Spence." "Let's trip out." "Cool." "Now he's gone!" "He must've fallen asleep." "You two look here and upstairs." "I'm gonna look downstairs." "They're not here anymore." "Just humor me, will you, please, and look?" "Where am I?" "Jump, boy." " Dad?" " Be like me." "Father knows best." "Oh!" "Oh, stop!" "I'm not like you!" "I don't wanna be like you!" "Be like me." "Now I'm playin' with power!" "All right." "Super Spencer!" "Great graphics." "Whoa." "I'm here." "I found Spencer!" "OK, hold him down." "Oh, shit." "Hold on." "Hold on to him." " What's happening to him?" " He's stuck in a nightmare." "And it's kicking the shit out of him!" " Wake him up." " He's too wasted." " Spencer!" "Jesus." " It's Freddy." "We've got to get him out." "I'll go into his dream." "I'll try and bring him out before he gets killed." "That's crazy." "What do you call that, rational?" "Right..." "left." "Right, left, right, left." "Pow!" "He's getting trashed." "I have to go in." "What about Freddy?" "Freddy won't hurt me." "I'm family." "OK, so how are you gonna go in?" "Well... you're gonna have to lay me out." "What?" "What is th..." " Just fucking lay me out!" " Wait a second!" " Doc told me a different way." " No time to talk!" "Just do it!" "Jesus Christ." "I told you I knew an easier way." "Concentration meditation." "That's what Doc always says." "This place is incredible." "Pow!" "Bam!" "Splat!" "Is that him?" "Jump, boy." "Ow!" "Stop!" "Oh, shit!" "Spencer!" "Come on, John!" "Let go of me!" "Get out of here!" "Now, Tracy!" "Hey, You forgot the power glove." "Pow!" "Boing, boing." "What do you know?" "I beat my high score." "Great to be back in business... thanks to you." "Daddy's waiting for you, little girl." "Shut the fuck up, man!" "Spencer's gone." "I couldn't stop it." "John's still in there." "I couldn't wake him up." "Come on!" "Snap out of it!" "What are we gonna do?" "We're gonna pick him up and get the hell out of here!" "Not again." "He's not gonna get me again." "Nothing is gonna make me get off this bed." "Damn it!" "I hate this house." "Up here!" "I know why you let me go." "Do you think I'm your daddy?" "Wrong!" "But you let me live." "Only long enough for you to bring me back my daughter." "Your daughter?" "And now... she's gonna take me to a whole new playground." "Grounded!" "Oh, my God, Maggie!" "What's going on?" "Come on, Maggie." "Let's go!" "Come..." "Let's get out of here!" "Let's get the hell out of here!" "It... it's not a boy." "It's..." "Come on!" "We gotta get out of here!" "Now!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "You forgot where you came from, kid... but I know where you're going." "It's traveling time!" "What's wrong?" "Maggie, get in the van!" "Come on!" "We gotta get the hell out of here!" "Oh, God." "Let's go!" "Whatever happened... it wasn't your fault." "Carlos, Tracy, and Spencer... stowed away in the back of the shelter van." "They were trying to escape." "Can you believe it?" "So I took them to the phone." "They were supposed to call you." "John Doe and I were gonna check out the school." "But Tracy got separated." "And then they ran away." "What the hell are you talking about?" "I'm talking about Carlos and Spencer and the John Doe!" "Kelly, they just disappeared!" "Been handling too many cases, Maggie." "Those kids were never here." "I would've remembered any new arrivals." "Kelly, I'm talking about forty-eight hours ago." "I brought you a John Doe." "Don't tell me you don't remember that!" "You the one who's handling too many cases!" "Get some rest, Maggie." "And then... we got back and... no one remembers John or Carlos." "It's like they never existed." "I've been hearing strange shit." "Like some of the kids are dreaming about Carlos." "And they don't even remember him." "I remember him." "Why?" "Because I can control my dreams." "I'm not fooled by this thing you saw." "Whatever he is... he's fucking with the line between dreams and reality." "He didn't just kill Carlos and the others." "He erased them." "It's not a boy." "Mother!" "Shit." "You're getting ready to kill somebody." "Defend myself." "It's your mind he'll go for." "Your fear." "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it." "Maggie, what are you doing?" "Who are they?" "Let me have that." " I have to know." " I don't know." "I don't know who they were." "They wouldn't tell me." "They have rules about no contact." "Oh, there's been contact." "Find me." "Find Daddy." "You're it." "Come to Daddy." "I won't tell." "Oh, God." "Fred, please..." "I won't tell." "We need to talk, Loretta." "Go inside, honey." "I won't tell." "I told you never... never to go in there." "I told you that!" "I told you." "Catherine." "You were such a little artist." "No, it can't be." "I know who I am." "You're my blood." "Only you could have brought me out... in your mind." "But you can't be my father." "They took you away from me... but I made 'em pay!" "I took all their children away from them... and now... that's over." "Come on." "The shelter." "Time to start all over again." "But this isn't Springwood!" "Every town... has an Elm Street." "Tracy girl..." "Daddy's home." "Daddy... you're dead." "I'm home, darling." "Come say hello." "I don't want to, Daddy." "Come on, give Daddy some honey." "No one has to know." "You're not my daddy." "Come on, Tracy." "Here!" "Do you love me now?" "He's dead!" "My daddy's dead." "No honey for Daddy?" "What's with kids today, huh?" "No respect." "You can't scare me anymore." "Oh, you better speak up." "Must be my deaf ear." "Kung fu this, bitch." "This is my dream, and I do what I want." "Might be your dream... but it's my rules!" "Doc..." "I need to talk to Doc!" "Come on!" "Doc?" "Doc, is that you?" "Yeah, Tracy." "Where are you?" "I'm over here in one of the lockers." "You gotta get me out!" "Where the hell are you?" "Right here." "You taught her a lot... but there's so much more to learn." "How about this, Doc?" "Sticks and stones may break my bones... but nothing will ever kill me." "Well, let's see now." "First they tried burning me." "Then they tried burying me." "But this... this is my favorite." "They even tried holy water." "But I just keep on tickin'... because they promised me that." "They?" "The dream people." "The ones that gave me this job." "In dreams..." "I am forever!" "Too bad you're not." "Thank God." "I think I've got a way to get him." "So what's the plan, Doc?" "Thanks." "You can't get him in the dream... but if this can come out, he can come out." "And if he can come out, he can bleed." " And die." " Right." "How will you know when I got him?" "I'm gonna find you with this... and then I'm bringing you out." "You've got to be holding him to carry him out." "I know." "He's gonna try and trick you just like Tracy." "He'll try to use your eyes to fool you." "You'll use these." "Get the hell outta here." "You want to live?" "These mean nothing here... but in a dream, they can be anything you want." "He got inside your head." "You get inside of his." "That's my job, isn't it?" "Be careful." "He's good at finding out what hurts the most." "Exactly." "That's why you gotta take me with you." "I can't." "It's gotta be me and him." "All right, Doc." "Put me in." "Strap her in." "Take a deep breath." "Good." "Ten... nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two... one." "Get inside his brain." "I'm in his memories." "Son of a hundred maniacs" "You ready for it, boy?" "You been a waste since the day I took you in." "Now it's time to take your medicine." "Thank you, sir." "May I have another?" "You want to know the secret of pain?" "If you just stop feeling it... you can start using it." "Child killer!" "We know what you want." "I want it all!" "Of course you do." "Then open up." "And you shall be forever!" "Mommy!" "Don't worry, baby." "Mommy just had to take her medicine... for snooping in Daddy's special work." "But you won't tell, will you?" "I won't tell." "But you did tell, didn't you?" "And now it's time to take your medicine." "You killed my mother!" "She's got him!" "Let's get her out of there." "I've got you!" "I had him!" "Where the hell is he?" "Maybe the trip killed him." "No... because I'm still seeing things... the way I did in my dream." "It's not over." "Let's go." "The cops were supposed to pick this stuff up." "I'm glad they didn't." "We'll have to hit him with everything we've got." "Check out this knife." " Hey, put that away." " That's too small." "Guess so." "You sure that's big enough?" "Still believe he's gonna show up, huh?" "Come on, Tracy." "Over here." "I can feel it." "You're real here." "It wasn't my fault." "It wasn't." "You saw what they did to me when I was a kid." "You saw." "I loved you." "And your mother." "I tried so hard to be good." "I know, Daddy." "But when they took you from me... it wasn't right." "Oh, I knew you'd believe me." "Come to Daddy." "Over here!" "I'm OK." "Maggie, watch out!" " Where's the key?" " I don't know!" "The lock's jammed!" "I didn't need a glove... to kill your bitch of a mother... and I don't need one now!" "Come on." "Let go." "I'll show you how." "Like you showed my mother?" "And Carlos?" "And Spencer?" "Give Daddy the glove back, princess." "Never!" "Give it to me!" "Gimme the glove!" "In your dreams!" "Oh, Daddy, I remember when we used to hold hands together... when I was a kid." "I didn't like it then, either!" "I forgot how much it hurts to be human." "Go ahead... put it on." "It's in your blood." "That's it." "Put it on." "Feels good, doesn't it?" "Yeah... come on." "Let your daddy show you how to use it." "Happy Father's Day." "Come on, Doc!" "Come on!" "Let's hurry!" "Let's get outta here!" "Come on!" "Oh... kids." " You all right?" " Yeah, I'm OK." "Freddy's dead." "More blood!" "Great." "Keep coming." "Chuck, Terry, pump away." "Don't be stingy." "Watch that arm." "I can see that fake arm." "Chase, keep that claw really moving." "Jeffrey, jam it on there just like Freddy would." "Good, good." "And cut!" "Print that, Gretchen." "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." " Thank you very much." " Some of our best work." "Hey, monkey man, want to see some neat stuff?" "Come on." "It's only make-believe." "Marianne, I gotta go." "Low bridge." "Let's see if we can scare the P.J. 's off Mommy." "Hey, Heather." "You hungry, Dylan?" "Gotcha." "It should have flexed more." "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." "Is it alive, Daddy?" "Heather, you're in the next shot." "State-of-the-art animatronics with bio-organic grafting." "Bull tendons, nerve bundles from a live Doberman." "Must've have picked up a signal from an Eighties walkie-talkie." " Sure it's off?" " It's off." "Funny, it's warm..." "just like a real hand." "Oh, God." "What the hell's going on here?" "Cut the effects!" "Terry, where is it?" "Terry!" "Chuck, get off me!" "Heather, where is it?" "Chase, where the hell is it?" "Come on." "What the fuck?" "!" "Earthquake." "Come on." "Mommy!" "What is that?" "Car alarms." "You OK?" "You OK, chief?" "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." "Geologists at Cal Tech... have confirmed this morning's aftershock..." "Do we have to watch that?" "...five-point-three on the Richter scale." "Thought you turned it on." "It was strong enough to cause further collapse... of the already badly damaged parking structure..." "I'll turn it off." "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." "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 five earthquakes in three weeks is enough." "Hasn't been another phone call, has there?" "Good sign." "Two full weeks without him." "Maybe he got hit by a truck." "He's closer, if anything." "It's giving me nightmares, Chase." "Did you have one last night?" "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." "But what if it isn't over?" "Maybe you should tell me your dream." "It was nothing." "I was..." "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... and..." "Well, your fingers were cut." "Right here?" "Heather, you were probably half awake... and saw my fingers get nicked when the mirror fell." "Dreams are like that." "Look, if you don't want me to go on this job, I won't." "Just be careful, OK?" "I think I can survive two days in Palm Springs... supplying soap bubbles for a detergent commercial." "I guess so." "You guess so?" "Come here." "Forty-eight hours." "I'll be back in no time." "I gotta go." "I love what you've done with the place." "Knock 'em dead." "Dylan, I gotta go." "Take care of Mommy." "Nancy." "Dylan, I don't want you watching this." "Dylan, what's wrong?" "What's wrong?" "!" "What's happening to you?" "One, two..." "Freddy's coming for you!" "Someone's coming." "What?" "Are you OK, honey?" "Is everything OK?" "It's just these quakes." "Did you feel one just now?" "No." "A big truck went by before you opened the door." "It's life on the fault line." " Hey, tiger." " Hi, Julie." "Does he feel warm to you?" "He had a fever this morning." "No, he seems OK." "Are you sure that's all that's wrong?" "Leave us alone, you son of a bitch!" "L.A. Limousine, ma'am." "Just wanted you to know I'm out front." "I'm sorry." "Can you hang on a minute?" "What is it?" "I don't know." "I just have this weird feeling today." "Mommy?" "Stay home, then." "This damn caller." "He's started again?" "Sick fuck." "Sorry." "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 freaked out about how many we've been having." "And then these phone calls." "Don't answer it." "Excuse me, ma'am, but we are going to be late." "Dylan, I gotta go." "Forgive me?" "Bye." "I'll call the cops for you." "You've got the number on the fridge, right?" "Give them the time they called... and they're keeping this list, supposedly." "Julie, I'm really sorry." "My nerves are a little raw these days." "It's OK." "Yeah." "I gotta go." " Morning." " Good morning." "You played that girl." "In that movie." "With the guy with the..." "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 close, aren't you?" "You trying to get me fired?" "OK!" "We're coming!" "So, Heather, we're approaching the tenth anniversary... of this whole "Nightmare on Elm Street" thing." "I mean, the original, five very popular sequels." "How has all the success affected you personally?" "I don't know if it really has, Sam." "God." "With the exception of One and Three..." "I pretty much stayed out of it." "Well, 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." "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." "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 co-star in the original... 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 and for our audience." "Let's bring him out." "He is the best of the bad." "Let's say hello to Robert Englund." "Love ya, babe!" "We'll do lunch!" "I'm alive once again!" "Freddy's back!" "Give it up for your Uncle Freddy!" "Just when you thought it was safe to get back into bed!" "Give me five!" "I'm back, and I'm badder than ever!" "You are all my children now!" "I got to go, Robert." "Just a second." "I'll walk you." "There you go, kids." " Thank you." " Bye-bye." " You OK?" " 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." "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." " There's a call for you." " For me?" "I'll talk to you later." "Heather, it's Sara Risher over at New Line Cinema." "How are you?" "How are you?" "This is a voice from the past." "It sure is." "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." "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?" "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?" " Coffee would be fine." " Black?" " Black's fine." " Could you get us some coffee?" " Sure." " Thanks." "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..." "Listen, man, I got to go." "Call me when you get to Milan... and don't forget..." "risotto con tartufi." "It's fantastico!" "Take care, man." "I'll talk to you later." "Bye." "Boy, do you look great, Heather." " How are you?" " Great." "I'm fine." "And I don't have to ask how you're doing." "Well, so far so good." "Which is why we asked you to come by today." " 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..." "God bless them, they're clamouring 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?"" "I thought Wes stopped doing horror movies." "He actually told me he hadn't called in the last ten years... because he hadn't had any really scary nightmares." "They're his inspiration for this thing." "Anyhow, he's right in the middle of the script." "Which means he's having nightmares again." "He's very excited about it." " The nightmares?" " No, 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." "Well, so?" "So I'm not sure about doing horror." "Come on, Heather." "Kids love horror." "Thank you so much, Bob." "I have other things happening." "Look, we'll match any offer that's on the table for you." "No, it's not that." "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." "We've got Chase working on a prototype for the new glove." "What?" "We asked him to kind of keep it as a surprise... until you and I could have this conversation." "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?" "Like weird phone calls." "Or nightmares." "Why don't you answer your phone, Bob?" "That's what we got people we pay around here for." "Will someone pick up the damn phone?" " Thanks a lot." " You're welcome." "What the..." "Never sleep again." "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?" "Rex saved me." "He did?" "Is Rex going to die?" "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 DrJulie." "Fix him up good as new, OK?" "Hey, Chase." "You've got a call." "It's your wife." "Chase, you better come home." "Heather, I'm stuck here." "Neither Chuck or Terry came in today." "Why?" "What's the matter?" " Chase, it's Dylan." " What?" "Hold on." "The phone's breaking up." "What's going on with Dylan?" "He's had some sort of an 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?" "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." "Answer me." "Has there been another phone call today or not?" "I'm coming home." "I'll be there in three hours." " Danny, I got to go." " What's up?" "My kid's sick." "I got to fly." ""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 inside."" "This is so violent." "I don't know why you like these stupid old fairy tales." "Finish, please." " They'll give you nightmares." " I like this story." ""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 to the oven." ""'The opening is big enough." "See?" "I can fit myself. '" ""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." " 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." "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." "Perfect, perfect, perfect!" "Come on, come on, come on." "That's me in the corner" "That's me in the spot" "Light" "Light" "Losin' my" "Religion" "Mommy's scared?" "Dylan, Mommy's fine." "It was just a bad dream." "What are you doing out of bed?" "Rex woke me up." "He was fighting." "Dylan, go back to sleep, honey." "I'm not sleepy." "Police, ma'am." "Will you open the door?" "Heather Langenkamp?" "Is Chase Porter your husband?" "There was an accident." "It appears he fell asleep while driving, ma'am." "Is he..." "I mean..." "Is he hurt?" "I'm afraid it's worse than that, ma'am." "Is he dead?" "Yes, ma'am." "Are you sure it's him?" "We have his effects." "You can confirm from that." "I want to see his body." "No, you don't, ma'am." "It's not necessary." "I want to see it for myself." " Can you hand me that?" " Sure." "Excuse me." " Could I help you?" " Porter." "Chase Porter." "It's back here." "You said Chase?" "I'm sorry." "Just sign here at the bottom." "That's all we need." "I'd like to see once again." "I'm sorry?" "Could you lift the sheet again, please?" "More, please." "What is that?" "It was a bad wreck, ma'am." "The head's gonna be all right for the funeral, but..." "Hey, lady." "You OK?" "You sure?" "Oh, God." "What did that?" "They said the truck was tore up something awful... so you can imagine him not being in... well, exactly top shape." "It looks like he was clawed." "That's why we don't lift the sheet past the face, ma'am." "Sometimes it's what we don't see that gets us through the night." "So, if you'll just sign..." "God is our hope and strength... a very present help in trouble." "Therefore, we will not fear... though the earth be moved... and though the hills be carried... into the midst of the sea... though the waters thereof rage and swell... and though the mountains shake... at the tempest of the same." " Julie, where's Dylan?" " I don't know." "Dylan, grab Mommy's hand." "Grab it!" "Oh, my God!" "Hurry!" "Let go of me!" "Stay with me." "Stay with me, Heather." " Where's Dylan?" " He's all right." "He's right here." " What happened?" " Earthquake." "You got knocked off your feet." "You got a pretty good bump, actually." "May he rest in peace, children." "And may you all get home safely." "Amen." "If there's anything I can do, Heather... anything." "Thank you, Robert." "Sweetie." "Tina?" "Who are you?" "Baby, wake up." "Honey." "Dylan." "Dylan, get over here!" "Honey!" "Honey!" "Come on." "OK, sugar, we're gonna go back to bed now." "No, Mommy, I can't sleep there." "Honey, you have to sleep." "One, two, 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." "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." "I know his behaviour is bizarre... but he's usually so normal and well adjusted, John..." "I can't believe it's him... and not something outside influencing him." "Or is that how denial works?" "It is denial." "I don't think that's the case here." "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?" "Everything about Dylan's behaviour is understandable... for a kid who just lost his father." "How does a child process a thing like that?" "I don't know." "I've not been able to process it very well myself." "And you're not crazy, by the way." "Seeing Freddy in that grave and then jumping in..." "You didn't jump in." "That's my memory." "It seemed absolutely real." ""Seemed," not "was."" "It's in my family, you know." "What is?" "A very close relative died in an institution." "Really?" "If having a screwy family made a person crazy... the whole world would be one big loony bin." "You have a crazed fan after you." "That's what's making you crazy." "Probably Dylan, too." "I never mentioned that to him." "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 Freddy voice." "Six weeks, 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?" "How many times did Letterman call the cops... thinking that woman was down in the kitchen again?" "Really gets under your skin 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." " Make sure he's OK, John." " Are you all right?" "Are you OK?" "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." "It's unbelievable." " 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." "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." "When is it gonna be done?" "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?" "Look, we need to talk, but not over the phone." "Can I come over?" "Actually, Heather..." "today's no good." "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." "Damn it!" "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four, better lock your door" "Five, six, grab your crucifix" "Seven, eight, better stay up late" "Dylan, don't sing that song." "Nine, ten, never sleep again!" "Dylan!" "Stop it!" "No!" "Don't!" "Never sleep again" "Never sleep again" "Never sleep again" "Never sleep again" "I touched him." "Any history of epilepsy in your family?" "Diabetes?" "Was there a trigger event, trauma, shock?" "You haven't shown him the films you've made, have you?" "The horror stuff?" "His fatherjust 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." "We'll run a battery of tests and know in a few days." "Does he have to stay overnight?" "Absolutely." "Anything more happen we need to know about?" "Like what?" "Sometimes what a child says or fantasizes... will give a clue to what ails him." "Did he say anything while he was still lucid?" "What do we have here?" "Too soon to know for sure." "The early symptoms point to childhood schizophrenia." "Dylan, can you hear me?" "Dylan, you have to fight it, whatever is after you... and you got to come back to me." "You can't make it alone." "Do you hear?" "If you can hear me, 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 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." "There you go." "It looks good." "There you go." "Good." "Good." "Attaboy." "Come on, 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 favourite pyjamas here." "Honey, I've got to go." "I love you, Dylan." "Remember what I said." "We'll take care of everything." "Wake up, lady!" "Don't lose it now!" "Seismologists at Cal Tech... have counted over 300 temblors so far." "Though most were too faint for us to feel... seven have shaken our community in the last few weeks... and now scientists are speculating... there might be an unknown fault running beneath Los Angeles... a fault that could..." "Hi." "You've reached the Englund residence." "We're out of town." "You can leave a message if you wish, but... 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." "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." "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." "It's existed in different forms in different times." "The only thing that stays the same is what it lives for." "What is that?" "The murder of innocents." "This is still a script we're talking about, right, Wes?" "I sort of think of it as a nightmare in progress." "In this nightmare in progress... does this thing have any weaknesses?" "It can be captured sometimes." "Captured?" "How?" "By storytellers, of all things." "Every so often, they imagine a story good enough... to sort of catch its essence." "Then, for a while, it's held prisoner in the story." " Like the genie in the bottle." " Exactly." "But the problem comes when the story dies." "And that can happen in a lot of ways." "It can get too familiar... or somebody waters it down to make it an easier sell... or maybe it's so upsetting 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 ten years, he's been held captive 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 and I'm writing." "If Freddy's loose in your script, where's he going?" "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 Freddy has to get by... before he can come into our world." "That person's you, Heather." "It's me?" "Why me?" "Dramatically speaking, it makes perfect sense." "You played Nancy, after all." "You were the first to humiliate him, defeat him." "That was Nancy." "Not me." "But you gave Nancy her strength." "So in order to get out, he's got to come through you." "He's gonna try to do that at your most vulnerable points." "Oh, my God, Wes." "Did you know?" "It was a script." "It was a dream." "I didn't know." "You know damn well it's more than that now." "How can we stop him?" "The only way is to make another movie." "I swear, I'm gonna stay by this computer... and keep writing until I finish the script, but... when that time comes, you'll 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 of childhood schizophrenia..." ""are duplicated in children..." ""suffering from sleep deprivation."" ""Sleep deprivation can produce trance-like states..." ""mechanical behaviour." ""The child might..."" "Rex woke me up." "He was fighting the mean old man with the claws." "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 two of Hollywood's best known special-effects technicians... were found dead in a vacant field." "Terrance Feinstein and Charles Wilson... two 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." "Freddy's glove was missing... and police are speculating the murders were the result... of a botched theft... which apparently took place two days ago." "At this point, the murder weapon has not..." "Oh, God." "Miss me?" "Nancy." "There are no visiting hours this late." "You must understand." "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." "Sixty seconds." "Come on." "You have to understand." "You can't see him." "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." "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." "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?" "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..." "Well, interesting talking with you, Miss Langenkamp." "I hope you understand." "My concerns are simply for the welfare of your son." "How's he doing?" "Honey." " You shouldn't do that." " Too late." " You shouldn't do that." " Too late." "I'm almost there, Heather." "Almost there." "Daddy!" " Doctor!" " Keep her right there." "We can't hold him much longer." "Get the full anaesthetic, stat." "We don't have that here." "No anaesthetic, you say?" "Screw it." "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." " 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." "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!" "Call security." "Security, code yellow." "Pediatric testing." "This is a restricted area." "Do you have a pass?" "Screw your pass." "It's all right." "Where is he?" "Just stay calm." "How's her little boy doing?" "He's fine, actually." "He came around about ten minutes ago." "He seems to be suffering from acute sleep deprivation." "I don't think she ever lets him sleep." "What are you saying?" "Where is he?" "I've got someone here who wants to see you." "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 get Rex right now." "I'm afraid Dylan should stay here until we know... what's causing these episodes." "I'm sure you understand." "Good." "I'll tell you what." "I'm gonna go home and get Rex right now." "You know that home isn't far from here, right?" "Right across the freeway." "That's right." "I won't be gone long... and Julie's gonna stay 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?" "Your hair's turning grey." "Julie, keep him awake." "Understand?" "Excuse me, miss." "Would you come with us?" "What?" "Hey!" "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "Get your hands off me!" "Do you mind?" "What the hell is this?" "Just a quick word... for Dylan's sake." "We've had an exciting day, haven't we?" "This one?" "Right there." "One, two, three." "One, two, three." "You won." "Would you mind stepping outside for one moment?" "As a matter of fact, I would." "What are you doing?" "It's just a little shot to see that he sleeps." "No." "His mother specifically said..." " I said no." " Do it." "All done." "He'll be asleep soon." " Would you let go of my arm?" " You bitch!" "Hey, you can't do that!" "I know what's in that one." "Do you know what's in this one?" "Or what's gonna happen to you when I stick you with it?" "And I will." "I want you to stay awake, OK?" "Keep your eyes open for me." "Come on." "Has there been any use of recreational drugs... in your family?" "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?" "This man from your films..." "Freddy Krueger." "Have you been seeing him?" "Would you get those keys down here?" "I want you to 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." "I want you to stay awake." "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." "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..." "I got it." "Dylan, get out of here!" "Ever play skin the cat?" "Come on." "Help me." "Mom!" "Rex!" "What the hell's going on?" "You can't go in there." "No." "Wait, wait." "Code yellow to paediatric testing." "Where's my son?" "!" "Where is he?" "!" "Have you seen my son?" "He was just here." "The boy." "No way he's going anywhere." "He's been heavily sedated." "He doesn't have to be awake to be on his feet." " What?" " He sleepwalks, you idiot." "He's fully capable of walking out of this hospital." "Oh, shit." "John, it's Heather." "I need your help." "Why?" "What happened?" "Dylan's run away from the hospital." "I don't know if he's wandering or headed for the house... but I think Freddy's after him." "I know that sounds crazy, but..." "You're right." "That sounds crazy." "Oh, my God." "You know that home isn't far from here, right?" "Right across the freeway." "Krueger, you bastard!" "Take me!" "Are you OK?" "You OK?" "My son is out here!" "Let me go!" "Dylan!" "I'm sorry." "What happened to you?" "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "Have you seen Dylan?" "Take it easy, take it easy." "Relax." "He's right there." "What happened?" "Oh, God." "What's going on, Heather?" "What in the world happened?" "I know how Chase really died." " What do you mean?" " Fred Krueger did it." "Yeah." "Sure." "You saw him, didn't you?" "Coming for you" "Nancy, let's go outside." "He'll be all right." "I'll be right back." "What the hell is going on, Nancy?" "Why are you calling me Nancy, John?" "Why are you calling me John?" "Nancy, pull yourself together... before you make yourself and that kid nuts." "Would you call Robert?" "Robert Englund." " The guy who plays Freddy." " Freddy who?" "Freddy Krueger." "Nancy, Freddy's dead." "Don't start losing it like your mother did." "I love you, sweetheart." "Don't forget that." "I love you, too..." "Daddy." "Get yourself some rest, Nancy, please." "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" "Who's there?" "Listen, Daddy." "I've got a proposition for you." "I'm gonna get the guy who did it... and I want you to arrest him when I bring him out, OK?" "Nancy, just tell me who did it." "I'll go get him, baby." "Fred Krueger did it, Daddy." "Yeah, sure." "Dylan's sleeping pills." "Say how they find their way back home." "It's important." "Breadcrumbs." "Too late, Heather." "Too late." "Join you." "You've given me a way to join you." "Almost there." ""The more she read, the more she realized..." ""what she had in her hands was nothing more or less..." ""than her life itself." ""That everything she had experienced and thought..." ""was bound within these pages."" ""There was no movie." ""There was only... her life."" "It's just me." "Are you OK?" "Are you all right?" "Where's the man?" "I don't know." "He had me, but then he let me go." "Meet your maker." "Pick a pet for the rugrat, bitch." "Fuck you!" "Get over there, Dylan!" "Take this!" "Come here, my piggy." "I got some gingerbread for you." "Gotcha!" "Where's your mommy, piglet, huh, huh?" "One, two, Freddy's coming for you!" "Come to papa." "Gonna eat you up." "Leave him alone!" "Dylan, get out of there!" "Push!" "Run!" "Are you OK?" "Honey, honey." "Oh, my God." "We're saved." "The witch is dead." "And his mother covered him with kisses, and they were safe." ""Heather..." ""thanks for having the guts 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."" "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" "Three, four, better lock your door" "Five, six, grab your crucifix" "Seven, eight, better stay up late" "Dylan, don't sing that song." "Nine, ten, never sleep again!" "Dylan!" "Stop it!" "No!" "Don't!" "Never sleep again" "Never sleep again" "Never sleep again" "Never sleep again" "I touched him."

"Isn't there somebody who can stop him?" "Actually there is a person in the dream... sort of a gatekeeper, so to speak." "Somebody Freddy has to get by... before he can come into our world." "That person's you, Heather." "It's me?" "Why me?" "Dramatically speaking, it makes perfect sense." "You played Nancy, after all." "You were the first to humiliate him, defeat him." "That was Nancy." "Not me." "But you gave Nancy her strength." "So in order to get out, he's got to come through you." "He's gonna try to do that at your most vulnerable points." "Oh, my God, Wes." "Did you know?" "It was a script." "It was a dream." "I didn't know." "You know damn well it's more than that now." "How can we stop him?" "The only way is to make another movie." "I swear, I'm gonna stay by this computer... and keep writing until I finish the script, but... when that time comes, you'll 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 of childhood schizophrenia..." ""are duplicated in children..." ""suffering from sleep deprivation."" ""Sleep deprivation can produce trance-like states..." ""mechanical behaviour." ""The child might..."" "Rex woke me up." "He was fighting the mean old man with the claws." "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 two of Hollywood's best known special-effects technicians... were found dead in a vacant field." "Terrance Feinstein and Charles Wilson... two 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." "Freddy's glove was missing... and police are speculating the murders were the result... of a botched theft... which apparently took place two days ago." "At this point, the murder weapon has not..." "Oh, God." "Miss me?" "Nancy." "There are no visiting hours this late." "You must understand." "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." "Sixty seconds." "Come on." "You have to understand." "You can't see him." "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." "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." "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?" "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..." "Well, interesting talking with you, Miss Langenkamp." "I hope you understand." "My concerns are simply for the welfare of your son." "How's he doing?" "Honey." " You shouldn't do that." " Too late." " You shouldn't do that." " Too late." "I'm almost there, Heather." "Almost there." "Daddy!" " Doctor!" " Keep her right there." "We can't hold him much longer." "Get the full anaesthetic, stat." "We don't have that here." "No anaesthetic, you say?" "Screw it." "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." " 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." "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!" "Call security." "Security, code yellow." "Pediatric testing." "This is a restricted area." "Do you have a pass?" "Screw your pass." "It's all right." "Where is he?" "Just stay calm." "How's her little boy doing?" "He's fine, actually." "He came around about ten minutes ago." "He seems to be suffering from acute sleep deprivation." "I don't think she ever lets him sleep." "What are you saying?" "Where is he?" "I've got someone here who wants to see you." "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 get Rex right now." "I'm afraid Dylan should stay here until we know... what's causing these episodes." "I'm sure you understand." "Good." "I'll tell you what." "I'm gonna go home and get Rex right now." "You know that home isn't far from here, right?" "Right across the freeway." "That's right." "I won't be gone long... and Julie's gonna stay 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?" "Your hair's turning grey." "Julie, keep him awake." "Understand?" "Excuse me, miss." "Would you come with us?" "What?" "Hey!" "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "Get your hands off me!" "Do you mind?" "What the hell is this?" "Just a quick word... for Dylan's sake." "We've had an exciting day, haven't we?" "This one?" "Right there." "One, two, three." "One, two, three." "You won." "Would you mind stepping outside for one moment?" "As a matter of fact, I would." "What are you doing?" "It's just a little shot to see that he sleeps." "No." "His mother specifically said..." " I said no." " Do it." "All done." "He'll be asleep soon." " Would you let go of my arm?" " You bitch!" "Hey, you can't do that!" "I know what's in that one." "Do you know what's in this one?" "Or what's gonna happen to you when I stick you with it?" "And I will." "I want you to stay awake, OK?" "Keep your eyes open for me." "Come on." "Has there been any use of recreational drugs... in your family?" "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?" "This man from your films..." "Freddy Krueger." "Have you been seeing him?" "Would you get those keys down here?" "I want you to 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." "I want you to stay awake." "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." "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..." "I got it." "Dylan, get out of here!" "Ever play skin the cat?" "Come on." "Help me." "Mom!" "Rex!" "What the hell's going on?" "You can't go in there." "No." "Wait, wait." "Code yellow to paediatric testing." "Where's my son?" "!" "Where is he?" "!" "Have you seen my son?" "He was just here." "The boy." "No way he's going anywhere." "He's been heavily sedated." "He doesn't have to be awake to be on his feet." " What?" " He sleepwalks, you idiot." "He's fully capable of walking out of this hospital." "Oh, shit." "John, it's Heather." "I need your help." "Why?" "What happened?" "Dylan's run away from the hospital." "I don't know if he's wandering or headed for the house... but I think Freddy's after him." "I know that sounds crazy, but..." "You're right." "That sounds crazy." "Oh, my God." "You know that home isn't far from here, right?" "Right across the freeway." "Krueger, you bastard!" "Take me!" "Are you OK?" "You OK?" "My son is out here!" "Let me go!" "Dylan!" "I'm sorry." "What happened to you?" "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "Have you seen Dylan?" "Take it easy, take it easy." "Relax." "He's right there." "What happened?" "Oh, God." "What's going on, Heather?" "What in the world happened?" "I know how Chase really died." " What do you mean?" " Fred Krueger did it." "Yeah." "Sure." "You saw him, didn't you?" "Coming for you" "Nancy, let's go outside." "He'll be all right." "I'll be right back." "What the hell is going on, Nancy?" "Why are you calling me Nancy, John?" "Why are you calling me John?" "Nancy, pull yourself together... before you make yourself and that kid nuts." "Would you call Robert?" "Robert Englund." " The guy who plays Freddy." " Freddy who?" "Freddy Krueger." "Nancy, Freddy's dead." "Don't start losing it like your mother did." "I love you, sweetheart." "Don't forget that." "I love you, too..." "Daddy." "Get yourself some rest, Nancy, please." "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" "Who's there?" "Listen, Daddy." "I've got a proposition for you." "I'm gonna get the guy who did it... and I want you to arrest him when I bring him out, OK?" "Nancy, just tell me who did it." "I'll go get him, baby." "Fred Krueger did it, Daddy." "Yeah, sure." "Dylan's sleeping pills." "Say how they find their way back home." "It's important." "Breadcrumbs." "Too late, Heather." "Too late." "Join you." "You've given me a way to join you." "Almost there." ""The more she read, the more she realized..." ""what she had in her hands was nothing more or less..." ""than her life itself." ""That everything she had experienced and thought..." ""was bound within these pages."" ""There was no movie." ""There was only... her life."" "It's just me." "Are you OK?" "Are you all right?" "Where's the man?" "I don't know." "He had me, but then he let me go." "Meet your maker." "Pick a pet for the rugrat, bitch." "Fuck you!" "Get over there, Dylan!" "Take this!" "Come here, my piggy." "I got some gingerbread for you." "Gotcha!" "Where's your mommy, piglet, huh, huh?" "One, two, Freddy's coming for you!" "Come to papa." "Gonna eat you up." "Leave him alone!" "Dylan, get out of there!" "Push!" "Run!" "Are you OK?" "Honey, honey." "Oh, my God." "We're saved." "The witch is dead." "And his mother covered him with kisses, and they were safe." ""Heather..." ""thanks for having the guts 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.""
