Let’s kick this Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day’s ass all over dreamland!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Today we’re getting a look at the construction of the awesome Freddy Worm from Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors. I’ve always loved this sequel and when I recently rewatched this in 35mm it struck me just how little Freddy is in the movie. I think it’s a great example of a character whose presence is felt throughout even though he maybe has 15 minutes of screentime.
I also think this is the last time Freddy was actually frightening in a Nightmare movie. Wes Craven tried to reinvent a scary Freddy in New Nightmare and while I like the attempt and love the idea of the movie the redesign on Freddy left a sour taste in my mouth. Not a fan of big-head trenchcoat Freddy, sorry.
The Freddy Worm in particular is a stand-out moment and I’ve always loved the look of it.
In the picture we have effects man James Kagel at Freddy’s head and sculpting at the far left of the picture is a fuzzy-headed Gino Crognale, a man I’ve had the great pleasure of hanging out while hanging around KNB-driven sets. Super nice dude, very talented and I got a kick out of seeing him here.
Enjoy the shot, courtesy of the Practical Effects Group! Now excuse me while I rock out to Dokken...
If you have a behind the scenes shot you’d like to submit to this column, you can email me at quint@aintitcool.com.
In tomorrow’s pic goes back to the original series!

That and the stop motion are about the only good things about this movie.
-
...maybe tonight you'll be gone.

Today's CGI shit doesn't come close to the practical effects genius of the NOES films. It's time to start honoring our past instead of watching Sam Worthington battle fake ass Medusas.
-
Dream Warriors is easily the 2nd best of the Nightmare films, and on some levels is even more entertaining than the original. 1 and 3 make a great 2 part story. We won't get into A Nightmare on Gay Street Part 2: Freddy Torments A Gay
-
Just a guess.

Gotta agree thisFreddy's gallows humor was at its peak in this flick. And we get to see a death by puppetry.

Was the nurse the only time we got actual nudity in an Elm Street movie?
by Mel
I don't recall any other moments of REAL nudity.
-
They kill off all the remaining characters from part 3 at the start of it....it was fucked up, but kind of cool.
-
April 15, 2012, 2:38 a.m. CST
And New Nightmare was fucking awesome....Scariest Freddy of all time. FACT.
by Mel
-
And I was having bonner for the entire date. But she is giving me a 2nd date so maybe she likes my bonner!
-
Actually the first one does contain Heather Langenkamps tits, when she is dragged under water by Freddy, so this isn't the first or only time the franchise had nudity.

Dream warriors was the best nightmare on elm street film in my opinion .
by Father
It was tense, inventive and had a lot of cool ideas, it was a really well made freddy movie- the best one, i reckon.
-
Yeah, that one really sucked, as do all revolts.

Was Dream Warriors the one with the chick eating dry instant coffee with a spoon?
by mdk
...and the lame hair metal theme song? It was pretty good though.
-
just seven years before The Shawshank Redemption.
-
it was sort of a precursor to the Scream movies, deconstructing the horror genre, etc. And Dream Warriors was good although I haven't seen it since I was a kid so I could be wrong. But I did have the biggest crush on Patricia Arquette.
-
Heather's boobs in first were reported as a body double because it was an underwater scene. Nurse in 3 Girl in waterbed in 4...Joey's death scene.

Re: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS
by ArmageddonProductions
There was a few great ideas floating around in this one and the execution pretty much made it the ALIENS to NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET's ALIEN, but I'd have had a lot more respect for the movie if Russell and Darabont hadn't pretty much cribbed it from Russell's previous "people battling a psychopath with a clawed hand in the dream world" screenplay, DREAMSCAPE (seriously, go back and watch DREAMSCAPE again; not only does David Patrick Kelly sprout Freddy claws, but after he yanks a cop's heart out on the dream world, he holds it up to Dennis Quaid and quips: "Have a heart!"). As for the giant Freddy head, it was easily defeated by Dokken and the power of rock in the "Dream Warriors" video.

I got stuck working today at the library at B.U. almost lost it at your comment. awesome.

Quint, you keep on rockin' with DOKKEN!

redwhitenegro: shiiiit redwhitenegro. Braindead is a classic.
by UltraTron
-
Awesomely terrible lyrics. "we're standing in the night ALONE, TOGETHER!" Alone, yet together. How exactly does that work? My favorite Nightmare by far. The nun/bastard son of 1000 maniacs origin story is creepy as hell.
-
I think every horror movie in the Eighties had to legally have at least one hair metal touchstone: see also FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI (Alice Cooper's "He's Back [The Man Behind The Mask]"), BLACK ROSES, TRICK 'R TREAT, ROCK 'N ROLL NIGHTMARE, SHOCKER, THE GATE, DUNGEONMASTER, DEMONS, DEMONS 2, PHENOMENA ...

The first 3 films were the only ones that tried to keep Freddy scary
by Christian Sylvain
And even then, Freddy was already getting a little too comical by part 3.
-
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA
-
For some reason, this phrase became an overused, meaningless trope that appeared in innumerable buttrock metal contexts -- bands, other songs, cover acts, etc. T.'.
-
Probably the worst sounding concert ever. Some of the blame can go to the mixer, but the band itself just sucked -- out of sync, lackluster, even messed up the lyrics to 'In My Dreams'.
-
In the name of Lowrek, Prince of Elves... demon, begone!

by Yelsaeb
Yeah, I thought it was stupid. The only good Nightmare on Elm Street is the first one and New Nightmare.

I remember that the cover of the video for this had the coolest, evilest Freddy ever.
by Kill List Hammertime
Used to freak me out when I was a kid.

April 15, 2012, 4:44 p.m. CST
And has there ever been a hotter hooker than Arquette in True Romance? This flick gets props for bringing her to my attention.
by Kill List Hammertime
-
It took the series in a new direction, making Freddy do more crazy shit and the teenagers having powers was cool. And they killed Nancy, who saw that coming? I mean they eventually killed Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween but it took like 15 movies. And it had a song by Dokken! Rokken with Dokken!
-
I believe it was 1985/86. They opened for Scorpions. Scorpions totally rocked it out of the arena, but Dokken, not so much.
-
Da, da, da, da. Da, da, da, da. Da, da da da. dadadada. IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
-
What a shame. That's a hell of a bill.

My first job and my first experience with movies being also tedious...
by seansarto
I got a job at a concession stand in a 6 screen cinema....And I rememeber to this day the effect of having to hear "Dream Warriors" the theme song from this film, played over and over for 8 hours on my 18 year old psyche...It was an experience of brainwash...On unexpected days, I still can hear that song playing my head..and I am 42... It makes me kinda angry and frustrated...because I didn't like the song and I don't really want to hear it again. Before working at a cinema, going to the movies was always a special experience....That job and the repititon..taught me how rehearsing a song, or reviewing an edit in a working cut of film is also tedious..and pretty unenjoyable...but it's the nature of the job...and overall I like the job.
-
Yeah dream warriors was my favorite, everything after the first 3 was garbage!
-
I was a huge Elm Street fan. Had all the movies on VHS, a rubber Freddy head/puppet thing that squirted water, even a hat that looked like his. Part 2 sucked. Just sucked. 3 was cool, bringing back some of the original stuff while adding some new things. From 4 on it kinda lost it. Bits of cool, but was just never the same. I think it was 5 that tried, huge crush on Lisa Wilcox (especially after that shower scene, even though it didn't show anything) but it just couldn't get there. Felt the same about 7 as some of you, I could see what they were trying to do (pre-Scream) but it just didn't do it for me either. And the less said about 6 the better (though still not as bad as 2). Hated Freddy vs. Jason, never even bothered with the new one. Nothing will ever beat the original though, it just won't.
-
I must have watched this movie 50 times in 1988. By the time the fifth NOES came out I was done with it and literally didn't watch part 5 or 6. New Nightmare was pretty lame. Freddy vs Jason was okay. The New Line remake was horrible actually I'm not sure if I watched it haha.
-
...I can WALK...my legs are STRONG! In my dreams...I am the WIZARD MASTER!
-
Best cast, best script, best dream-sequences, best kills, and best theme song. And, "Where's the FUCKING bourbon" was very quotable amongst my fellow sixteen-year olds at the time...
-
I had a huge crush on nancy, she was so hot!!!! All the chicks was so good looking...
