As a result of this, Langenkamp moved to London for about five months to decompress from it all. One such scare? Langenkamp had a real life stalker that would call her at odd hours and threaten her life. With Langenkamp’s permission to use certain things that had happened to her in real life, Craven pushed forward in filming. We have reached the end, you guys! Heather Langenkamp, who portrayed herself in this installment, had some real world scares. It opened to glowing reviews and although it wasn’t a technical box office hit (opening opposite Pulp Fiction, so I get it), it was still a hit in every other sense. It was released on October 14, 1994, and was hailed by the New York Times. After a lot of negative feedback from the previous couple of films, this was a much needed win for the series. ![]() This film brought a new life back to the franchise. Even Tracy Middendorf (Julie in the film) stated that even though it was her first film, she felt at home with the cast. It was pleasant and fun, and there was a sense of love. This was the first time I heard the cast say that there was no tension on set, everyone truly got along and was happy to be there. By this point in his directing career, he truly had honed his craft. Turns out after the many different directors throughout Nightmare history, Craven became a master in his absence. It had been almost ten years since Craven helmed the director’s chair for this franchise. Miko had it moved to his house, in his backyard and still has it to this day. As a bonus, the park that New Nightmare was shot at was being taken down. You all know when you were kids, Happy Meals were the be all and end all of your existence. Also, his reward for hellacious scenes would be a Happy Meal. In all fairness, Miko seemed to be in really good spirits about them taking his acting to the next level for certain scenes. I have to admit when I watched this behind the scenes fact, I did laugh. Miko’s mother left the set, and his father whispered in his ear, “your mother just died,” which brought him into hysterics. His parents came to set and his father said he had a way to make him cry. However, there was a particular scene in which Craven needed him to cry. Heather Langenkamp (who played herself) stated that she and Miko clicked right away. So it’s never really funny to make a child cry, right? Miko Hughes (who played Dylan and also known for Pet Sematary ) in general had a great time filming on set. Without further ado, here are the ones I decided to share! Great, great behind the scenes stuff spoken about. If you haven’t seen Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010), and you are a fan of the series, I suggest you do. There are likely to be spoilers here, so if you haven’t seen these films, read at your own risk! We are going to cover seven of the films in this article, and that is because I watched the four-hour long documentary about this franchise and had to share with you guys. ![]() ![]() So, even though I can still remember that dream rather vividly, it never deterred me from watching the rest, or any other horror movies. Instead, he rolled over with one eye open and told me to leave him alone. I woke up in a panic, ran to my brother’s room to wake up him and have him tell me it’s not real and to chill. I had the worst nightmares with Freddy chasing me in a cave lit by torches. Me being the horror buff that I have been since… well, forever, I thought I would be a brave little toaster and watch the Freddy movies when my parents were gone at work. Now, let’s move on to the killer who haunts the dreams of teenagers, yes? When I was younger, any kind of horror movie was not allowed to be watched in our household. In the true spirit of Halloween, why not continue exploring hidden secrets from some of the most popular horror franchises ever? So far, we’ve done Scream and Friday the 13 th.
