This time, staying awake won't save you.
This time, the terror doesn't stop at the screen.
From the creator of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Miss Me?
He's Back, And He's Scarier Than Any Witch!
[from theatrical trailer] It's seven films later. The actors are assembled. The effects artists are hard at work. Wes Craven is making a new Nightmare on Elm Street. But this time, the world he's creating seems to be coming true.
[from theatrical trailer] Freddy Krueger returns, and he wants more than revenge - he wants life.
[from theatrical trailer] Is it a movie? Is it a dream? Or is it real?
[from theatrical trailer] For everyone who ever believed "Freddy's Dead" - prepare yourselves for the real story.
[from theatrical trailer] In a town where movies go overschedule and directors go overbudget, something far more evil is out of control.
[from TV spot] The horror they could only imagine has become very real.
[from TV spot] They told you he was dead. And now he's got the last laugh.
[from TV spot] Wes Craven, the master of horror, returns at last with a frightening new twist on terror.

Heather Langenkamp:
Well at least tell me what it's about so far.

Wes Craven:
I can tell you what the nightmares are about. They're about this...entity. Whatever you want to call it. It's old, very old, and it's taken different forms in different times. The only thing that stays the same about it is what it lives for.

Heather Langenkamp:
What's that?

Wes Craven:
Killing innocence, one way or the other.

Heather Langenkamp:
This is still a script we're talking about, right?

Wes Craven:
I think of it as sort of a nightmare in progress.

Heather Langenkamp:
Then, in this nightmare in progress, does this thing have any weaknesses?

Wes Craven:
It can be captured, sometimes.

Heather Langenkamp:
Captured? How?

Wes Craven:
By storytellers, of all things. Every so often, they imagine a story good enough to catch its essence. Then it's held prisoner for a while. In the story.

Heather Langenkamp:
Like the Genie in the bottle.

Wes Craven:
Exactly. [pause] The problem comes when the story dies. It happens a lot of different ways, the story gets too familiar, or too watered down by people trying to make it easier to sell, or it's labeled a threat to society and just plain banned. However it happens, when the story dies, the evil is set free.

Heather Langenkamp:
You saying Freddy's this ancient thing?

Wes Craven:
Current version. For ten years he's been imprisoned as Freddy by the story of Nightmare on Elm Street. But now that the films have stopped - The genie's out of the bottle, Heather, that's what the nightmares are about. That's what I'm writing.
