00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.719
Well, hello and welcome back to
Springwood. We are back here with another
2
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.440
episode of Welcome to prime Time of
Freddie's Nightmares podcast. But we have a
3
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.640
little bit of a different show for
you this week, just as we're going
4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.800
to cover a little piece of bonus
Freddie ephemera in the world of fan films,
5
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.200
which we don't cover a ton but
you and I have a history of
6
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.600
watching fan films with varying degrees of
success or failure depending on you know,
7
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.840
what have you. So this week
we're going to sit down. I'm,
8
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.920
of course your host Enrique Kuto here
with my good buddy and co host David.
9
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:57.000
You are my Dylan's new Nightmare Denoyer
Louis and and we're talking tonight about
10
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.079
Dylan's new nightmare, a Nightmare on
Elm Street fan film. Yes, and
11
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.040
this one got a lot of attention, captured a lot of imaginations because it's
12
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.480
about it's a direct sequel to a
new Nightmare. Wes Craven's a New Nightmare.
13
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.560
And for those who are somehow not
initiated, I don't know how you
14
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.959
wouldn't know about a new Nightmare.
But that was the one that went meta.
15
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.359
That was the one that was like, hey, Freddy is now the
16
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.480
movies are a thing. But then
Freddie leaves the movies. Although it's not
17
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.319
really Freddie. It's this ancient evil
that Wes Craven describes. So in this
18
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.159
one we have the actual original actor. His name was Miko Hughes. Miko
19
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.480
Hughes. I didn't want to get
it wrong. Miko Hughes returns playing Dylan
20
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.400
in this I'm gonna put an air
quotes thirty five minute short film. Well,
21
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.239
the end credits are just super long, and they would be because this
22
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.439
was funded on indie go Go and
they had a lot of backers to give
23
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.439
credits to. And that's what yet
you gotta do in two campaigns on indie
24
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.040
Gogo, because you have the first
one for the initial production of the film
25
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.040
and then one for the post production
exactly. So, uh, David,
26
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.799
you want to get us the pertinents, pertinent deets. I'm gonna read the
27
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.840
synopsis off of IMDb that states Dylan's
New Nightmare is acts as an official,
28
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.159
unofficial sequel to Wes Craven's New Nightmare, one of the most unique and high
29
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.680
concept installments to the Nightmare on Elm
Street franchise. This short film picks up
30
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.520
twenty five years after the events of
New Nightmare and follows Dylan Porter played by
31
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.439
Miko Hughes, the young son of
Heather langen Camp, now a grown man
32
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.800
trying to make his way in the
world his parents raised him in Hollywood.
33
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.360
Little does he know that the evil
entity known as Freddy Krueger is back and
34
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.840
eager to once again break into our
world through the son of his favorite victim.
35
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.000
And that is said to be written
by Cecil Laird, who is the
36
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.360
act director and writer of this film
as well. Right, So, uh,
37
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.000
what I was mostly just like,
damn, you've already moved out of
38
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.840
the center of your frame. Oh
let me get back there. You go,
39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.599
now move your We're trying very Oh
by the way, you know,
40
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.560

us to directly, you don't get to

00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.960
bonus. But you also get every

44
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.120
com throw us a little bit support. We really appreciate it. So we
45
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.639
just we literally just watched them.
We did. I thought about doing a
46
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.840
live reaction. I decided against it. I don't think it I don't think
47
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.000
it translates well enough on the podcasts. So we watched the film. My
48
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.800
first thought was, production values are
good. Yeah, they're great. I
49
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.680
wouldn't call it great. I mean
I would call them completely good. Yeah,
50
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.919
like like good enough by a long
shot. Having seen the fan film,
51
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.280
Like you said, of different calibers
that we have through the years,
52
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.960
this is a pretty pretty well executed
one in regards of production standpoint, I
53
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.680
without a doubt, highly competent.
Yeah, yeah, and and and and
54
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.280
like a lot of these fan films
we've seen, like from wamp Stamp in
55
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.439
the past, like don't hike alone, Don't hike in the snow, you
56
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.319
know, never hike alone. It's
got decent to good production. It's got
57
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.960
tons and tons of cameos, yes, And I mean that's what most of
58
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.280
this money I think goes to,
is this immense amount of cameos. Yea.
59
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.319
And not just that these actors are
necessarily very expensive, but they're all
60
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.279
union well, and union actors cost
a lot of money. And I think
61
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.480
we should also point out first and
foremost that, of course Robert England did
62
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.720
not return for Freddy. So this
time we have Dave McCray, who was
63
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.240
playing Freddy Krueger. People may know
McCray as he's a very big YouTube personality.
64
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.480
He's done a lot of fan films
as well, played Michael Myers many
65
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.160
times, and now he's doing this
Freddie short. And overall I didn't think
66
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.279
he was I didn't think he was
too bad. I mean, I think
67
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.560
overall he's got the mannerisms down to
Freddie. I think you and I both
68
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.480
agreed that the downside to it is
just the makeup is a little slighted in
69
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:53.319
this one a bit. I thought
his makeup was bad. I thought that
70
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.959
they had these dark circles around his
eyes. Yeah, and I thought that
71
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.160
that just doesn't work. No,
I got the at all. Yeah,
72
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.560
I thought that that didn't sell the
freddiness at all. Uh. It definitely
73
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.399
looked like a mask. But I've
seen people on Instagram with better mass.
74
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.439
Yes, And I know I'm being
I'm nitpicking here, but like, you
75
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.879
didn't have to show you know,
you don't have Robert. Yeah, absolutely,
76
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.079
so you didn't have to show Freddie
head on. No, you didn't.
77
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.240
And that's one of the things you
and I said was when they initially
78
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.240
show him. So to give you
for perspective on the story, Basically,
79
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.759
we open with Dylan going to an
audition for Hatchett five and he goes into
80
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.959
the audition room and there's three people
there, one of which is Rick Sloan
81
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:42.120
who played Junior in Friday Part five. His name was Rick Sloan. Yeah,
82
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.879
Ron Sloan. Rick Sloan directed a
hobgob I was gonna say, yeah,
83
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.680
it's like times like that didn't sound
right. Yeah. Ron Sloan is
84
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.199
playing this director that's going that's doing
the auditions for Hatchett five. He's known
85
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.000
as Nick Matthews on the credits.
And basically Dylan goes to do this audition
86
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.920
and Ron immediately recognizes him and is
like, hey, you look really familiar,
87
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.680
like, you know, did you
have any association? And he talks
88
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.160
about his dad because, of course, in the events of New Nightmare,
89
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.319
his dad got killed by Freddie.
His dad was a special effects effects artist.
90
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.040
So, and this is where it
gets and not no fault of the
91
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.839
of the film. This is where
it gets confusing because we're existing in a
92
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:24.240
world where Freddie Krueger movies are real, real thing. Yeah, But then
93
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.279
New Nightmare was never a part of
the series, correct, because New Nightmare
94
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.959
actually happens. Yeah, and that
can be a little confusing at first.
95
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.480
I mean and I and again no
disrespect to the filmmakers. I think that's
96
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:41.439
just a confusing world to exist in
absolutely for the film, but I an
97
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.120
interesting one. Yeah. No,
And what goes what basically transpires from here
98
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.480
is they start having a little conversation. He talks about his dad a little
99
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.040
bit and talks about working with his
dad, and then brings up Heather langan
100
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.600
Camp, which is his mom.
And this of course the actual Heather langen
101
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.839
Camp, even though she doesn't make
an appearance, no, in anyway,
102
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.040
in any way, but he basically
Dylan says he doesn't want to talk about
103
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.439
his mom. The guy understands,
and then they go into this audition,
104
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:11.360
which is basically Dylan doing a survivor's
monologue about how they're going to beat this
105
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.519
evil, and you kind of get
this sense that this is him kind of
106
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.120
getting that trauma back out of New
Nightmare. Yeah. Oh yeah, I
107
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.639
mean without a doubt, yeah,
because in fact, the exact words the
108
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.600
casting director references is that he knew
his father, Yeah, and that he
109
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.439
and his father worked together on Texas
Chainsaw three because his father was a special
110
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.480
effects artist who it appeared died in
a drunk drive or a sleep not drunk
111
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.519
driving, a sleep deprived driving accident
in New Nightmare, yea. So basically
112
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:43.160
what happens next is he goes through
the monologue for the scene, wins over
113
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.199
the I gotta get talk, wins
over the director of the scene basically,
114
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.279
and then casting the casting director,
Thank you, Dave did not take proper
115
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.879
notes, shut up. And then
basically what happens next is we watch the
116
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.680
casting director's two partners, one on
each side of them. One shoots themselves,
117
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.639
the other slits their throat and I've
been in an audition before, That's
118
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.560
what it's like. And Ron Sloan
just starts laughing maniacally and turns into Freddy
119
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.319
basically yeah, no, basically no, he literally literally turns into Freddie.
120
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:20.040
He basically figuratively, he turns into
Freddie by literally becoming Freddy Krueger. And
121
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.800
the first depiction of Freddie we get
is not a New Nightmare Freddy, which
122
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.519
now, which lends to the idea
that this is just a Dylan nightmare and
123
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.000
that this is not the quote unquote
the Freddie because I like to call him
124
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.639
a quote unquote because he's like,
he's an ancient evil taking the form of
125
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.879
Freddy Krueger because so many people have
become afraid of Freddy Krueger. He might
126
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.639
have taken the forms of the Wendy
Go at one point, he might have
127
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.799
taken the forms of all these different
things. But now Freddie is the fear.
128
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.200
Yeah, so in this one,
I read that as, oh,
129
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.960
you know, that's the old style
Freddie. Yeah, well I didn't.
130
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.519
At first. I just thought it
was a it was a artistic choice.
131
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.480
But then a little later on when
Freddie's revealed the Fredd, He's revealed he's
132
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.480
got the he's got the long coat, he's got the hat, he's he's
133
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.879
much more like the But I just
I don't know why they decided to go
134
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.080
with the total black around the guy. It just made him look funny,
135
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.120
and it made him look more like
he was in a mask. To me,
136
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.919
it didn't even have any demon feel
to it, like from Freddie versus
137
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.159
Jason, because I love that shot
when in Freddy versus Jason, when he
138
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.879
pops out of the water and he's
got that demon look to him. It
139
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.240
didn't even have that. It was
more so a little New night and he
140
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.879
was a he had the witch look
going for sure. I mean it was
141
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.679
definitely sculpted based on that. Yeah, but yeah, the sunken in,
142
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.679
blacked out eyes just made me think, like he's wearing a mask. He's
143
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.600
wearing a mask. He's wearing a
mask. And I'm sorry, I'm sure
144
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.720
that that this actor, this voice
actor, guy David McCray. I'm sure
145
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:56.120
that he is very good at many
things. His Freddy voice was just not
146
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.279
that great to me. Yeah,
it was more so just demon ask it
147
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.360
was. It was I thought it
was over deepened. Maybe maybe that was
148
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.919
my problem, but I mean,
I have no room to talk my Freddy
149
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.279
voices. I mean, it's very
silly. We both have good voices are
150
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.360
but I I can't pretend that I
was invested heavily once I heard Freddy speak.
151
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.000
Yeah, I was just kind of
like, okay, well, and
152
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.159
then, like you and I have
said, the way that they reveal Freddy
153
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.320
is the act the casting director turns
into him and at first they go from
154
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.080
the legs and go up, And
at first I thought we were just gonna
155
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.960
remain, you know, kind of
just with like a torso of Freddy.
156
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.399
You were hoping they were gonna doctor
claw fred they were gonna they were gonna
157
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.039
have a profile of him, and
which would be such a smart way to
158
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.120
do that if you wanted to depict
Freddy without having any effects. Sign up
159
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.200
on Patreon to find out what that
joke is so funny, but no.
160
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.600
Basically what happens next is Freddy starts
to terrorize Dylan. He tries to run
161
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.039
around the audition room and find an
exit. He gets to the door and
162
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.639
looks up and in New Nightmare fashion, Freddie is now climbing on the walls
163
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.679
and walking down the wall to Dylan. Yeah, which is what I again,
164
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.840
normal part of an audition was just
like a couple of people kill themselves
165
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.440
and you're climbing up the walls.
It's just fucking Tuesdays, man. So
166
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.320
that ends, and the next scene
we see Dylan is with his therapist basically
167
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.720
going over what happened, but he
leaves out the key detail of the casting
168
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.919
director turning into Freddy. He leaves
out Freddy Krueger entirely, which is to
169
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.039
the story in New Nightmare because they
try to never say Freddy Krueger because they're
170
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.000
afraid people will think they're crazy and
we'll just blame her being in a horror
171
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.039
movie. Because that's the whole thing
is they start saying like, did you
172
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.159
show him your films and all this
and the movie was made? That was
173
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.480
what I want to say. Yeah, it was New Nightmare. New Nightmare
174
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.720
was like in the middle of this
concept that like violent movies and violent TV
175
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.240
shows and all this make your kids
crazy. Yeah, and that's what they
176
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.480
were kind of playing with there.
Well. And also I mean Miko Hughes
177
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.960
of course was Gauge creed in pet
Cemetery, so yes, he was a
178
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.679
very little Yeah, ninety four was
New Nightmare. By the ninety four that
179
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:03.000
makes sense. So you know he's
talking to his therapist, who is also
180
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.840
another alumni from Friday the Thirteenth Part
six. Yea, and the yuppie that
181
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.919
gets killed on the back of the
vespa, well, she's not. They
182
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.919
don't die on the she rides in
on a vespa. Remember wait wait Jason
183
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.879
stabs them while they're on the vespa. Oh wait oh oh yeah, they
184
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.000
were gonna get out and leave.
Yeah, yeah, I was just thinking
185
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.000
when they're on the blanket the couple
in the couple just chilling in the woods.
186
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.759
The extra body count. Yeah,
that that's one of my favorite I'm
187
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.360
just to pick on Friday the thirteenth
for a second. Oh, but to
188
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.480
pick on Friday the thirteenth for a
second. I get why so many people
189
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.919
love Part six, and I enjoy
Part six quite a bit, but Part
190
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.600
six is not my favorite. One
of the best parts about Part six is
191
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.320
it's just the laziest with the kill
count. It's just like, so,
192
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.799
now here's a guy walking through the
woods for a reason. Yeah, now
193
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.039
here's a couple going into the woods
for a reason. Now here's these guys
194
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.919
doing a exercise in the woods of
this place for a reason. So yeah,
195
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.519
the paintball exercise. It's like,
why would they be there? Why
196
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.080
would they be where their businesses or
something. But anyway, that being said,
197
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.679
she does a very good job.
Yeah, absolutely, And she's you
198
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.759
know, trying to shrink to be
Dylan's head shrinker. And that's when we
199
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.840
start to get the suggestion that his
mother, Heather langing Camps, not played
200
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.279
by Heather langing Camp. Heather langing
Camp is in an asylum, which was
201
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.720
kind of the vibe I got when
he was doing the in the audition,
202
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.200
because he says, he says,
what about your mom? You know how
203
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.759
you know your mom's Heather langing Camp. He's like, I'd really rather not
204
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.200
talk about that. Yeah, And
I was like, I immediately leaned to
205
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.480
you, and I was like,
I think she's in an asylum, you
206
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.240
know, which makes I mean,
makes perfect sense that she would be driven
207
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.600
crazy by a real life Freddy Krueger. Absolutely, I mean i'd buy that.
208
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.720
I'd buy that for a dollar.
So, yeah, that all being
209
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.279
said, yeah, what what do
we So we go? So we go
210
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.440
from the therapy to basically Dylan starts
having another nightmare with Freddy, and we
211
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.679
get a surprise appearance from is it
Rex? I can't remember the name of
212
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.080
the dinosaur. I believe it was
ry Rex. Rex makes an appearance from
213
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.519
New Nightmare, and what happens is
Dylan starts to have another dream of Freddie,
214
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.720
and what transpires from that is we
get more of Freddie appearing and talking
215
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.240
to him, but really don't have
really an idea of what's going on in
216
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.519
the story until we cut back to
the therapist who's going over the sessions.
217
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.240
She records some new notes and then
we find out that Freddie New Nightmare Freddie
218
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.320
has come back. He comes out
of Dylan's bed after an earthquake happens,
219
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.039
grabs the hat, grabs the coat, Dawn's the whole New Nightmare look,
220
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.919
and then goes and attacks the therapist
by first what cutting off her arm pretty
221
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.600
brutally. Yeah, it was very
It's gonna say I was not a humongous
222
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.519
fan of this film. It like
was a kind of level of like basic
223
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.679
slashery gore that is not really present
and much much Nightmare content. It's been
224
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.679
a Walls as I've seen New Nightmare, But if if I remember correctly the
225
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.759
opening game, I've got more violent. Yeah. The opening gag with the
226
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.120
with the claw coming alive been killing
people, that's pretty gruesome. The dad's
227
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.039
demise is really really disturbing me when
his cratch that that and also the baby,
228
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.799
the babysitter, the friend her well
but she and she's referential, She's
229
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.039
getting dragged the walls like in the
first one. Yeah, I'm not saying
230
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:24.320
that Freddie's not a gory character.
What I'm saying is that he just slashes
231
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.279
his arm and her he slashes his
claw and her arm just flops down on
232
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.879
the ground. Yeah, and I
just felt like that was very matter of
233
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.279
fact slash her kind of thing.
But it's still it worked. It did
234
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.960
work, It absolutely did. And
and before this, Dylan has actually tried
235
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.480
to call the psychiatric hospital and speak
to his mom. But then there's some
236
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.600
Freddie shenanigans with Freddy heavy breathing on
the phone while well, well also the
237
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.240
lady. Well, yeah, they
start messing with Freddy, starts messing with
238
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.279
him or his fear of Freddy or
whatever. Yeah, but then they say,
239
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.600
like, she's not available right now
because she's have I guess would be
240
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.960
having an episode. Yeah, isolutely. So he kills the therapist, basically
241
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.679
draws his claws through her heart,
kills her, and then we cut back
242
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.320
to Dylan, who wakes up the
next morning to his mom calling him,
243
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.480
and then that's the end of the
movie. And that was the part that
244
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.039
kind of peeved me up. Yeah, so yeah, the movies now now
245
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.159
literally what happens is now Freddy's killed
one person, yea, for real,
246
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.080
Dylan's had a couple of nightmares.
I did like the way they had Freddy
247
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.159
kind of raise up in his bedroom. Yeah, and stuff like that.
248
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:32.159
I thought that was pretty pretty cool. But after all of that, he's
249
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.919
sitting there and we're like, oh, man, Freddy's back, and then
250
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.720
his phone rings and it's the psychiatric
hospital. And again, nit picking really
251
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:44.120
bad. I am not as a
filmmaker for a living. I generally do
252
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.039
not pick on other filmmakers work.
Yeah, but you guys had a lot
253
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.320
of money to work with. And
when the when Heather quote unquote calls him,
254
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.679
her voice doesn't sound like she's on
a phone. Phones lack base,
255
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.519
they're all they're all hype. Hey, this is shuns on the front.
256
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.440
That's the way phone sound because the
speakers are small. This sounded like this.
257
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.559
It was like, Dylan, I'm
here. It sounded muffled instead like
258
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.119
she was in the other room,
which I didn't like. But it's literally
259
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.799
like, you know, I forgot
what she even said, but she said
260
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.880
Dylan, it's it's Dylan, it's
your mom or something, and then credits.
261
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:26.559
Yeah. I felt like this film
accomplished so little that I was a
262
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.720
little annoyed. Well, it's to
be a direct sequel to New Nightmare,
263
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.400
And as Hendrick said, thirty five
minutes is the kindness. Because I haven't
264
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.039
pulled off my laptop right now twenty
six or twenty seven minutes and forty three
265
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.000
seconds or when we get the credits. Yeah yeah, but and but again,
266
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.160
you know they need to credit everybody, and they put lots of cool
267
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.400
pictures showing how everybody has a great
time on the set. They were they
268
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.480
were definitely like, I'm not I'm
not here to shoot on them for having
269
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.319
a no no. But that all
being said, they accomplished so little.
270
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:03.519
It's not they accomplished to me less
than the first act of a film,
271
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.440
would I agree, well, being
as long as the first act of the
272
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.119
film, because we have such a
good storyline with New Nightmare, that the
273
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:17.000
idea of twenty twenty five years later
with Dylan having this trauma and I mean
274
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.319
this serious problem that he encountered with
New Nightmare, but like, we didn't
275
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.000
even touch on it. We have
one scene of him in therapy one seeing
276
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.240
him trying to get ahold of his
mom, and to be perfectly honest,
277
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.000
he's he's it's Dylan's New Nightmare.
But I didn't feel a sense of anything
278
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.839
that made it a direct sequel to
New Nightmare, except for the fact that
279
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.240
it's Miko Hughes I mean I like
that we were expec we were exploring the
280
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.160
world of New Nightmare more, the
idea of a world where Freddy Krueger movies
281
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.079
are just movies. But then part
seven is real. Yeah. I thought
282
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.680
that was really fun. I thought
Miko Hughes very good actor. Yeah,
283
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.440
although I do want to say one
of my pet peeves is why the hell
284
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.559
would he become an actor? Yeah, that is a little strange. Dad
285
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.119
died in show business, his mother
went crazy in show business, So what
286
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:07.839
does he do becomes an actor?
I'm just shrugging. I literally just went
287
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.839
back through the film because I was
making sure I didn't miss anything. No,
288
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.640
we did just give a summary of
the film that is that is all
289
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:18.039
it is. And the other problem
is that the short is extremely well paced
290
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.480
well paid. But when I say
well paced, I mean well paced in
291
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.279
that it's slow and building. Yeah, and then it's just over. It's
292
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.640
just over. And I get like
the argument of like, well, they
293
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.079
leave you wanting more, It's like, no, they left me wanting anything.
294
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.599
Yeah. I felt like I got
like, a, hey, here's
295
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:40.200
Dylan now, zero zero wrap up
of anything, zero closure, And I
296
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.640
get it. It's like, okay, so what do you like, Okay,
297
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.799
I'm gonna be grumpy grumpy, but
if it felt like they were leaving
298
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:57.880
it open, yeah, so that
what because because here's my grumpy Warner Brothers
299
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.920
is not going to get have a
flying shit about this short. The only
300
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.559
thing they're probably worried about is are
you violating fair use? Are you violating
301
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:15.640
parody? Are you violating fan fiction
law? But this is not going to
302
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.559
lead to this being a real movie. And when I say real movie,
303
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:25.359
I mean you know, a real
New Line Cinema Warner Brothers production that's canonical
304
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.400
and blah blah blah blah blah.
It's not going to happen. And I'm
305
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.400
not That's just the truth. So
what I got from that is like,
306
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.519
we get basically nothing after two years, two and a half years of raising
307
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.160
money and talking about it and everything
like that. It's all good. It
308
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.240
could have taken four years, doesn't
matter. It takes as long as it
309
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.359
takes. But for it to end
on that cliffhanger, it's like, so,
310
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.680
am I supposed to hope now that
we raise another hundred and some thousand
311
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.279
dollars and pray that I get a
little bit more of this in like two
312
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.640
or three years, I guess.
Also, my point is is with a
313
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.759
story like this, with that being
your cliffhanger, is that Nancy's calling being
314
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.160
like, yeah, it's it's your
mom. Okay, Well what does that
315
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.640
mean? She's still in an asylum. So are they gonna fight Freddy together?
316
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.119
Are they? I mean, I
don't know, because they didn't even
317
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.279
have Heather Langenkamp to say those three
words or whatever. But that's not my
318
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.039
problem to me. I mean,
like that was a good place to end
319
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.119
on, but it made But my
problem is, and this is happening a
320
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.240
lot in not just fan films,
but in movies in general. I go
321
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.160
and I sit down for a film
and I'm and I sit for hours to
322
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.119
find out that it was never going
to be a complete story. Yeah,
323
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.960
and that I'm getting tired of it. Well, it's it's frustrating because you
324
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.039
have, you have a element here
of a story because I you and I've
325
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.480
talked about New Nightmare at length before, but like, New Nightmare is such
326
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.279
a good it's such a good film
in regards of what it does with the
327
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.039
metedness of the of the Nightmare universe, but also it's really a scary,
328
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.680
fucking movie. Yeah, I know
it makes Freddy scary. Yeah. Yeah,
329
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.319
And this whole idea of him answering
the phone and being like Dylan,
330
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.880
it's mom, Okay, that's great
and all. But like, I feel
331
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.920
like you could have done something with
his character, were to either give him
332
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.240
like a love interest or give him
somebody. Well, I think that they
333
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.960
were establishing that he's all alone because
yeah, he's damaged. Yeah, because
334
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.480
he's traumatic. Yeah, I think
if you want it, if I if
335
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.440
I was sitting in the editing room
and it was like, here's what we've
336
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.319
got, how do we fix it? And no one is asked, Yeah,
337
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.319
no one's asked. But if I
had to come up with a solution
338
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.400
to this problem, my solution would
be at least have at least have Dylan
339
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.200
confront Freddie once. Yeah, because
Freddie he never he sees Freddy in a
340
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:52.240
dream that's not really Freddie. Yeah, at least have Freddie like walk up
341
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.160
to Dylan in his dreams and be
like I killed your therapist and then like
342
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.680
you know, like he does leave
the bloody pat in on the night stanle
343
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.440
there is But I'm just saying,
like you should have to. I want
344
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.519
Dylan to look at Freddy dead in
the eyes and go, this is really
345
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:12.400
happening again. I am not crazy. I am not all these things,
346
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:17.359
And and then that moment where he's
like and now I have no idea what
347
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.680
I'm going to do. I'm all
alone. No one would ever believe me.
348
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:25.319
Phone rings it's his mom. Yeah, that that would be good.
349
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.400
You know, it would have been
even better if the phone had rang and
350
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:32.079
it wasn't even just like Dylan it
your mama would have been like, yeah,
351
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:37.319
this is so and so from the
hospital. Your mother woke up from
352
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.440
a catatonic state just now and she's
only saying your name. So I don't
353
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.839
know what she's going to say,
and I don't know if it's gonna be
354
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.200
lucid. But are you are you
prepared to talk to your mother? And
355
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.000
he'd be like yes, And then
she'd be like Dylan, you know,
356
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.559
like oh she actually that would have
been it would have been like Dylan.
357
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.839
What if she was like what if
she was just like it was like this
358
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.359
long positive like Dylan. He's like, yeah, Mom, She's like I
359
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:07.599
think Freddie's back was bom bom bomb. But I get it. They did
360
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.480
a pretty good job overall. But
I think that this is a problem I
361
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:18.559
have with most filmmaking these days,
is I didn't feel like storytelling was the
362
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:25.279
focus. I felt like fun and
special effects. And I think it's hypocritical
363
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:27.960
to pick on a fan film for
fan service, but like those were the
364
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.880
focus is not on how interesting.
Yeah, the dichotomy of Dylan's story is
365
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.480
Now, this is just my opinion
and it's probably wrong, but but that's
366
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.359
what I thought. So did I
enjoy it? Sure? But was I
367
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.400
disappointed when it just kind of ended? Well, you and I were both
368
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.599
like, it's over, like that
I know, I went, I went,
369
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.200
it's over. Yeah, like I
like knowingly went like I think,
370
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.359
it just ended, and then the
credits came out. I was like,
371
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.000
I think, what I think,
what I would have liked to have seen
372
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:02.480
from it is if we would have
had more of a troubled nous with Dylan,
373
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.640
if he would have had like an
episode or something in regards not just
374
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.519
the nightmare in the beginning audition,
but like if he would have had like
375
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.119
like like a seizure and had to
take pills or something like something along those
376
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.319
lines. There wasn't a lot of
drama in him. No, Like I
377
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:21.920
mean talking to his therapist was a
good start the Yeah, but yeah,
378
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.119
it would have been cool to see
him like clearly relying on prescription or even
379
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:30.200
non prescription medication. Yeah, it
would have been cool to see something else.
380
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:32.640
Well, even the freak out with
the audition. I would have loved
381
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:34.880
it if he would have just fallen
asleep and like woken up in the audition
382
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.839
and like people being like, oh, like yeah, you're clearly like Langen
383
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.640
Camp's kid or whatever. You know, it would have been an even cooler
384
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:48.200
thing. Why couldn't Why Why wasn't
all of it? Because there's no apparent
385
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.359
reason that Freddy's back right now.
I mean, it just it just it's
386
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.119
just kind of there's just time,
yeah for Freddie to be back. Why
387
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:02.400
couldn't Why why couldn't instead of it
being an audition for Hatchet five, which
388
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.960
who gives a Ship? And I
love Adam Green as a filmmaker, as
389
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.039
a podcaster, as a human being. Yeah, but I mean, like,
390
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.559
who get that's just like a cute
like a thing. Why couldn't it
391
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.559
have been you know, the the
have you ever heard the term the water
392
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.799
bottle tours? Like where you go
to you go, you go to all
393
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.839
these studios and they're like, here's
your bottle of water. They're like,
394
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:29.519
tell me about you. Why couldn't
it have been Dylan gets called Dylan.
395
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.680
He's on hard times, he's an
actor, you know, he's having trouble
396
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.920
getting work, gets called to go
into a meeting at Warner There you go.
397
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:45.279
They want to bring Freddie back,
and they know it's a sensitive topic,
398
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.960
but they found a script at Wes's
home that would be very cool,
399
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.400
that would be so fucking cool,
and then they could pull out that script
400
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.000
that says like that literally has like
Wes's things saying like I want Nancy to
401
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.039
fight Freddie one last time, last
time, and then and then that's what
402
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.640
brings Freddie back. Yeah. Is
Freddy's now in his mind full bore.
403
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.519
Yeah. And it's one of those
things too where it's like if Dylan just
404
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.319
said like fuck you Warner Brothers,
He's ruining his whole life, Yeah,
405
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.880
because this is his life story that
they want to turn into a new Nightmare,
406
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.160
into a new Nightmare movie. But
it's like I guess also, it's
407
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.400
like having had David Gordon Green's Halloween
trilogy with twenty eighteen hoween Kills and hoween
408
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:32.799
ends. We got a sense of
Jamie Lee with Laurie's character being so PTSD
409
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.960
with everything that had happened that she
became a survivor but then changed everything when
410
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.480
she realized that Michael was ruining her
life. I feel like we didn't get
411
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:42.640
a lot of PTSD with Dylan's character. I feel like it could have been.
412
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.200
There were a lot of opportunities I
felt were missed, But I do
413
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.440
think that it was a little too
matter of fact. I feel like I
414
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.240
feel like there was too much excitement
about, Wow, we are able to
415
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.079
do this, and not enough excitement
about what it should be. Because,
416
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.440
to be honest, dead serious,
the reason that I pitched that we watched
417
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.279
this on the show was I was
excited. Yeah, No, I was
418
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:08.720
too. I was super amped for
this new Nightmare because I thought that this
419
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:14.799
was being made out of a passion
for the Dylan story to be told.
420
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.480
Yeah, and after watching it,
I think that the passion was that they
421
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.920
could get me go hues. Yeah. And that's not a dig No,
422
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.880
he didn't great. You can't get
a lot of people who were main character
423
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.839
cast to be in these fan films, so I'm not I'm not digging but
424
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.759
I thought there was so much potential
wasted. Dylan has so much pathos.
425
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:40.920
There's so much pathos in the New
Nightmare movie about family history of insanity,
426
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.799
about about reality versus make believe,
about the effect of life that Art has,
427
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.279
and instead we got like Freddy's back. Yeah, why because he's back,
428
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:53.480
And then you know, all his
mom called him and I'm sorry,
429
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.759
like I'm very disappointed. I mean, I'm sure they tried their hearts out,
430
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.079
but I'm so disappointed that you couldn't
get that heatherlight in camp wouldn't do
431
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.759
like four lines. But part of
me wonders if she read the script and
432
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.279
went, yeah, and it very
well could be. I think, honestly,
433
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.359
the biggest issue I have with it
is it just does not, like
434
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:14.920
you said, accomplish anything. It
accomplishes like a little fan service fund,
435
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.480
a little bit of like of like
I'm a horror nerd, you know,
436
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.920
a little bit of like oh,
but then it was over. But it's
437
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.119
like even Rex, even Rex coming
back, like you and I said,
438
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.759
like Rex was just there, like
yeah, yeah, Rex came back right
439
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.640
at the end. Yeah, and
then they was also a teaser at the
440
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.039
end credits too. But that's a
whole nother story. I just so,
441
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.440
I guess my point is, like, so you left me wanting more of
442
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.599
what like another really high budget for
a fan film, fan film that I'm
443
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.119
going to wait a few years to
get to see more of this. Why
444
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:48.680
didn't you just why didn't you just
fly Mico Hughes to somewhere in America where
445
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.720
it's cheap to make a movie and
make us an hour long movie with Miko
446
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.079
Hughes instead of going to La,
so you could, like so you could
447
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.559
fan fiction your own LA experience and
make a big Hollywood movie. Yeah,
448
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.960
that's and that's that's where I get
grumpy. And I know I'm the old
449
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.720
man of indie cinema at this point, but that's that's my opinion is like
450
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.200
I would have rather had more.
I would have rather had a more more
451
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.640
of a draw. Yeah, and
we didn't get that. We just got
452
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.519
some cool, fun fan service and
it was over. And that's fine too.
453
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.279
I think I hope that everybody who
contributed is super happy with it.
454
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:26.240
Absolutely no, And I mean,
and that's the thing is, I don't
455
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.799
I don't want to put this down
and say don't watch this. It's definitely
456
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.799
worth a talk. Punch it up
on YouTube. It's it's it's literally twenty
457
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.519
seven minutes of your life. And
yeah, it's it's fun. It is
458
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.799
fun, and like the photos of
them doing it and stuff are super fun.
459
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.680
You get to see like that Freddie's
hand was actually was actually Miko Hughes's
460
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.720
hand and he like flips the bird
at the camera. It's fun for sure.
461
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.960
I just felt like there was so
much opportunity left on the table.
462
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.200
Absolutely. Yeah. So you can
find it on YouTube, but Dylan's new
463
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.559
Nightmareage type it in. You can
find the trailer on there as well as
464
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.039
the full thing, and it's definitely
worth your time. It's a fun one.
465
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:03.319
But there's a lot of potential there
with how we've been dealing with legacy
466
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.880
sequels and a lot lately. That's
just I was amped for this and it
467
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.039
disappointed. Give it a little bit, is it? Maybe it's just time.
468
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.000
Maybe we need to run an indie
go go for one hundred grand to
469
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.319
do a fan season of Freddie's NaNs
season. Oh my god, and we
470
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.920
will do Freddie as doctor Claude.
He'll just be a glove and an arm
471
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.960
and a voice. Maybe that's what
we should do. Yeah, we good,
472
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:30.440
We definitely could. But no,
if you guys, if you guys
473
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.119
want to send us your thoughts on
it, please do. We would love
474
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.279
to hear them, and even your
thoughts on New Nightmare. Maybe you're not
475
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:37.559
a fan of New Nightmare and this
isn't up your alley at all, but
476
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.359
either way, we would love to
hear from you, because these these are
477
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.920
the kind of elements in ephemera that
we dive into sometimes that we both love
478
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.119
and regret. I did like it
and see, but this is the thing.
479
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:56.279
The reason I like Freddie's Nightmare so
much is because so many times they
480
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.839
took advantage of what they had.
Yeah, absolutely in the film. They
481
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.240
add good writers, they had great
actors, and so they told stories that
482
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.480
sometimes really matter. Yeah, and
at the very least, we're highly entertaining.
483
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.440
And I felt like this one had
all fluff and it was all about
484
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:15.160
making fans go hell yeah, brother, which it did. Totally yea brother,
485
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.519
I totally did. Yeah, I
do not want you. This is
486
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:20.480
not a one star movie. This
is like a two and a half star
487
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.119
fan film, which is impressive.
But I just thought there could have been
488
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:28.920
more, and I wanted there to
be more, and I hope that they
489
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.079
do get to continue it. I
will. I will watch it, and
490
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.680
if it's great, I will scream
it from the rooftops, but not on
491
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:40.559
podcast because it'll be long dead.
Anything else you want to wrap up with,
492
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.960
No, I feel like I got
across my points. I hope I
493
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.480
wasn't a total prick. If anybody
happens to watch this or listen to this,
494
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.400
who worked on that film? You
guys did a good job. Yeah,
495
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.359
absolutely, the effects were cool.
I wasn't. I wasn't in love
496
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.759
with how Freddie was done, but
I think that could have been solved with
497
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.799
better lighting choices to hide imperfections and
stuff. You and I are hardcore Freddie
498
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.400
fans. So anything that get or
not what are you talking about? What
499
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.880
makes you say? Anything that gets
thrown our way of this ephemera of this
500
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:14.519
fandom, anything that we want to
check out or is made by fans.
501
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.640
I'm curious to see what it looks
like. And this is definitely one that
502
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.440
I would recommend to people. Yeah. Yeah, well thanks for nothing,
503
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.359

Well, hello and welcome back to
Springwood. We are back here with another
2
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.440
episode of Welcome to prime Time of
Freddie's Nightmares podcast. But we have a
3
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.640
little bit of a different show for
you this week, just as we're going
4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.800
to cover a little piece of bonus
Freddie ephemera in the world of fan films,
5
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.200
which we don't cover a ton but
you and I have a history of
6
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.600
watching fan films with varying degrees of
success or failure depending on you know,
7
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.840
what have you. So this week
we're going to sit down. I'm,
8
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.920
of course your host Enrique Kuto here
with my good buddy and co host David.
9
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:57.000
You are my Dylan's new Nightmare Denoyer
Louis and and we're talking tonight about
10
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.079
Dylan's new nightmare, a Nightmare on
Elm Street fan film. Yes, and
11
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.040
this one got a lot of attention, captured a lot of imaginations because it's
12
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.480
about it's a direct sequel to a
new Nightmare. Wes Craven's a New Nightmare.
13
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.560
And for those who are somehow not
initiated, I don't know how you
14
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.959
wouldn't know about a new Nightmare.
But that was the one that went meta.
15
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.359
That was the one that was like, hey, Freddy is now the
16
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.480
movies are a thing. But then
Freddie leaves the movies. Although it's not
17
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.319
really Freddie. It's this ancient evil
that Wes Craven describes. So in this
18
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.159
one we have the actual original actor. His name was Miko Hughes. Miko
19
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.480
Hughes. I didn't want to get
it wrong. Miko Hughes returns playing Dylan
20
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.400
in this I'm gonna put an air
quotes thirty five minute short film. Well,
21
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.239
the end credits are just super long, and they would be because this
22
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.439
was funded on indie go Go and
they had a lot of backers to give
23
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.439
credits to. And that's what yet
you gotta do in two campaigns on indie
24
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.040
Gogo, because you have the first
one for the initial production of the film
25
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.040
and then one for the post production
exactly. So, uh, David,
26
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.799
you want to get us the pertinents, pertinent deets. I'm gonna read the
27
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.840
synopsis off of IMDb that states Dylan's
New Nightmare is acts as an official,
28
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.159
unofficial sequel to Wes Craven's New Nightmare, one of the most unique and high
29
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.680
concept installments to the Nightmare on Elm
Street franchise. This short film picks up
30
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.520
twenty five years after the events of
New Nightmare and follows Dylan Porter played by
31
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.439
Miko Hughes, the young son of
Heather langen Camp, now a grown man
32
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.800
trying to make his way in the
world his parents raised him in Hollywood.
33
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.360
Little does he know that the evil
entity known as Freddy Krueger is back and
34
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.840
eager to once again break into our
world through the son of his favorite victim.
35
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.000
And that is said to be written
by Cecil Laird, who is the
36
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.360
act director and writer of this film
as well. Right, So, uh,
37
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.000
what I was mostly just like,
damn, you've already moved out of
38
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.840
the center of your frame. Oh
let me get back there. You go,
39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.599
now move your We're trying very Oh
by the way, you know,
40
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.560
if you are not on Patreon supporting
us to directly, you don't get to
41
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.599
see us as we podcast and maybe
that's a bonus, that could be a
42
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.960
bonus. But you also get every
episode a day early in video form and
43
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.520
ad free. So if you get
a chance, go to Freddy's Nightmares dot
44
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.120
com throw us a little bit support. We really appreciate it. So we
45
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.639
just we literally just watched them.
We did. I thought about doing a
46
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.840
live reaction. I decided against it. I don't think it I don't think
47
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.000
it translates well enough on the podcasts. So we watched the film. My
48
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.800
first thought was, production values are
good. Yeah, they're great. I
49
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.680
wouldn't call it great. I mean
I would call them completely good. Yeah,
50
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.919
like like good enough by a long
shot. Having seen the fan film,
51
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.280
Like you said, of different calibers
that we have through the years,
52
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.960
this is a pretty pretty well executed
one in regards of production standpoint, I
53
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.680
without a doubt, highly competent.
Yeah, yeah, and and and and
54
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.280
like a lot of these fan films
we've seen, like from wamp Stamp in
55
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.439
the past, like don't hike alone, Don't hike in the snow, you
56
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.319
know, never hike alone. It's
got decent to good production. It's got
57
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.960
tons and tons of cameos, yes, And I mean that's what most of
58
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.280
this money I think goes to,
is this immense amount of cameos. Yea.
59
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.319
And not just that these actors are
necessarily very expensive, but they're all
60
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.279
union well, and union actors cost
a lot of money. And I think
61
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.480
we should also point out first and
foremost that, of course Robert England did
62
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.720
not return for Freddy. So this
time we have Dave McCray, who was
63
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.240
playing Freddy Krueger. People may know
McCray as he's a very big YouTube personality.
64
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.480
He's done a lot of fan films
as well, played Michael Myers many
65
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.160
times, and now he's doing this
Freddie short. And overall I didn't think
66
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.279
he was I didn't think he was
too bad. I mean, I think
67
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.560
overall he's got the mannerisms down to
Freddie. I think you and I both
68
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.480
agreed that the downside to it is
just the makeup is a little slighted in
69
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:53.319
this one a bit. I thought
his makeup was bad. I thought that
70
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.959
they had these dark circles around his
eyes. Yeah, and I thought that
71
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.160
that just doesn't work. No,
I got the at all. Yeah,
72
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.560
I thought that that didn't sell the
freddiness at all. Uh. It definitely
73
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.399
looked like a mask. But I've
seen people on Instagram with better mass.
74
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.439
Yes, And I know I'm being
I'm nitpicking here, but like, you
75
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.879
didn't have to show you know,
you don't have Robert. Yeah, absolutely,
76
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.079
so you didn't have to show Freddie
head on. No, you didn't.
77
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.240
And that's one of the things you
and I said was when they initially
78
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.240
show him. So to give you
for perspective on the story, Basically,
79
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.759
we open with Dylan going to an
audition for Hatchett five and he goes into
80
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.959
the audition room and there's three people
there, one of which is Rick Sloan
81
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:42.120
who played Junior in Friday Part five. His name was Rick Sloan. Yeah,
82
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.879
Ron Sloan. Rick Sloan directed a
hobgob I was gonna say, yeah,
83
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.680
it's like times like that didn't sound
right. Yeah. Ron Sloan is
84
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.199
playing this director that's going that's doing
the auditions for Hatchett five. He's known
85
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.000
as Nick Matthews on the credits.
And basically Dylan goes to do this audition
86
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.920
and Ron immediately recognizes him and is
like, hey, you look really familiar,
87
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.680
like, you know, did you
have any association? And he talks
88
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.160
about his dad because, of course, in the events of New Nightmare,
89
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.319
his dad got killed by Freddie.
His dad was a special effects effects artist.
90
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.040
So, and this is where it
gets and not no fault of the
91
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.839
of the film. This is where
it gets confusing because we're existing in a
92
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:24.240
world where Freddie Krueger movies are real, real thing. Yeah, But then
93
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.279
New Nightmare was never a part of
the series, correct, because New Nightmare
94
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.959
actually happens. Yeah, and that
can be a little confusing at first.
95
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.480
I mean and I and again no
disrespect to the filmmakers. I think that's
96
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:41.439
just a confusing world to exist in
absolutely for the film, but I an
97
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.120
interesting one. Yeah. No,
And what goes what basically transpires from here
98
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.480
is they start having a little conversation. He talks about his dad a little
99
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.040
bit and talks about working with his
dad, and then brings up Heather langan
100
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.600
Camp, which is his mom.
And this of course the actual Heather langen
101
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.839
Camp, even though she doesn't make
an appearance, no, in anyway,
102
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.040
in any way, but he basically
Dylan says he doesn't want to talk about
103
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.439
his mom. The guy understands,
and then they go into this audition,
104
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:11.360
which is basically Dylan doing a survivor's
monologue about how they're going to beat this
105
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.519
evil, and you kind of get
this sense that this is him kind of
106
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.120
getting that trauma back out of New
Nightmare. Yeah. Oh yeah, I
107
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.639
mean without a doubt, yeah,
because in fact, the exact words the
108
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.600
casting director references is that he knew
his father, Yeah, and that he
109
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.439
and his father worked together on Texas
Chainsaw three because his father was a special
110
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.480
effects artist who it appeared died in
a drunk drive or a sleep not drunk
111
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.519
driving, a sleep deprived driving accident
in New Nightmare, yea. So basically
112
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:43.160
what happens next is he goes through
the monologue for the scene, wins over
113
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.199
the I gotta get talk, wins
over the director of the scene basically,
114
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.279
and then casting the casting director,
Thank you, Dave did not take proper
115
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.879
notes, shut up. And then
basically what happens next is we watch the
116
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.680
casting director's two partners, one on
each side of them. One shoots themselves,
117
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.639
the other slits their throat and I've
been in an audition before, That's
118
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.560
what it's like. And Ron Sloan
just starts laughing maniacally and turns into Freddy
119
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.319
basically yeah, no, basically no, he literally literally turns into Freddie.
120
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:20.040
He basically figuratively, he turns into
Freddie by literally becoming Freddy Krueger. And
121
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.800
the first depiction of Freddie we get
is not a New Nightmare Freddy, which
122
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.519
now, which lends to the idea
that this is just a Dylan nightmare and
123
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.000
that this is not the quote unquote
the Freddie because I like to call him
124
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.639
a quote unquote because he's like,
he's an ancient evil taking the form of
125
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.879
Freddy Krueger because so many people have
become afraid of Freddy Krueger. He might
126
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.639
have taken the forms of the Wendy
Go at one point, he might have
127
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.799
taken the forms of all these different
things. But now Freddie is the fear.
128
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.200
Yeah, so in this one,
I read that as, oh,
129
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.960
you know, that's the old style
Freddie. Yeah, well I didn't.
130
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.519
At first. I just thought it
was a it was a artistic choice.
131
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.480
But then a little later on when
Freddie's revealed the Fredd, He's revealed he's
132
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.480
got the he's got the long coat, he's got the hat, he's he's
133
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.879
much more like the But I just
I don't know why they decided to go
134
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.080
with the total black around the guy. It just made him look funny,
135
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.120
and it made him look more like
he was in a mask. To me,
136
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.919
it didn't even have any demon feel
to it, like from Freddie versus
137
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.159
Jason, because I love that shot
when in Freddy versus Jason, when he
138
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.879
pops out of the water and he's
got that demon look to him. It
139
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.240
didn't even have that. It was
more so a little New night and he
140
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.879
was a he had the witch look
going for sure. I mean it was
141
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.679
definitely sculpted based on that. Yeah, but yeah, the sunken in,
142
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.679
blacked out eyes just made me think, like he's wearing a mask. He's
143
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.600
wearing a mask. He's wearing a
mask. And I'm sorry, I'm sure
144
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.720
that that this actor, this voice
actor, guy David McCray. I'm sure
145
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:56.120
that he is very good at many
things. His Freddy voice was just not
146
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.279
that great to me. Yeah,
it was more so just demon ask it
147
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.360
was. It was I thought it
was over deepened. Maybe maybe that was
148
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.919
my problem, but I mean,
I have no room to talk my Freddy
149
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.279
voices. I mean, it's very
silly. We both have good voices are
150
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.360
but I I can't pretend that I
was invested heavily once I heard Freddy speak.
151
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.000
Yeah, I was just kind of
like, okay, well, and
152
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.159
then, like you and I have
said, the way that they reveal Freddy
153
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.320
is the act the casting director turns
into him and at first they go from
154
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.080
the legs and go up, And
at first I thought we were just gonna
155
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.960
remain, you know, kind of
just with like a torso of Freddy.
156
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.399
You were hoping they were gonna doctor
claw fred they were gonna they were gonna
157
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.039
have a profile of him, and
which would be such a smart way to
158
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.120
do that if you wanted to depict
Freddy without having any effects. Sign up
159
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.200
on Patreon to find out what that
joke is so funny, but no.
160
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.600
Basically what happens next is Freddy starts
to terrorize Dylan. He tries to run
161
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.039
around the audition room and find an
exit. He gets to the door and
162
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.639
looks up and in New Nightmare fashion, Freddie is now climbing on the walls
163
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.679
and walking down the wall to Dylan. Yeah, which is what I again,
164
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.840
normal part of an audition was just
like a couple of people kill themselves
165
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.440
and you're climbing up the walls.
It's just fucking Tuesdays, man. So
166
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.320
that ends, and the next scene
we see Dylan is with his therapist basically
167
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.720
going over what happened, but he
leaves out the key detail of the casting
168
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.919
director turning into Freddy. He leaves
out Freddy Krueger entirely, which is to
169
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.039
the story in New Nightmare because they
try to never say Freddy Krueger because they're
170
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.000
afraid people will think they're crazy and
we'll just blame her being in a horror
171
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.039
movie. Because that's the whole thing
is they start saying like, did you
172
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.159
show him your films and all this
and the movie was made? That was
173
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.480
what I want to say. Yeah, it was New Nightmare. New Nightmare
174
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.720
was like in the middle of this
concept that like violent movies and violent TV
175
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.240
shows and all this make your kids
crazy. Yeah, and that's what they
176
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.480
were kind of playing with there.
Well. And also I mean Miko Hughes
177
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.960
of course was Gauge creed in pet
Cemetery, so yes, he was a
178
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.679
very little Yeah, ninety four was
New Nightmare. By the ninety four that
179
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:03.000
makes sense. So you know he's
talking to his therapist, who is also
180
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.840
another alumni from Friday the Thirteenth Part
six. Yea, and the yuppie that
181
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.919
gets killed on the back of the
vespa, well, she's not. They
182
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.919
don't die on the she rides in
on a vespa. Remember wait wait Jason
183
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.879
stabs them while they're on the vespa. Oh wait oh oh yeah, they
184
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.000
were gonna get out and leave.
Yeah, yeah, I was just thinking
185
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.000
when they're on the blanket the couple
in the couple just chilling in the woods.
186
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.759
The extra body count. Yeah,
that that's one of my favorite I'm
187
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.360
just to pick on Friday the thirteenth
for a second. Oh, but to
188
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.480
pick on Friday the thirteenth for a
second. I get why so many people
189
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.919
love Part six, and I enjoy
Part six quite a bit, but Part
190
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.600
six is not my favorite. One
of the best parts about Part six is
191
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.320
it's just the laziest with the kill
count. It's just like, so,
192
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.799
now here's a guy walking through the
woods for a reason. Yeah, now
193
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.039
here's a couple going into the woods
for a reason. Now here's these guys
194
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.919
doing a exercise in the woods of
this place for a reason. So yeah,
195
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.519
the paintball exercise. It's like,
why would they be there? Why
196
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.080
would they be where their businesses or
something. But anyway, that being said,
197
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.679
she does a very good job.
Yeah, absolutely, And she's you
198
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.759
know, trying to shrink to be
Dylan's head shrinker. And that's when we
199
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.840
start to get the suggestion that his
mother, Heather langing Camps, not played
200
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.279
by Heather langing Camp. Heather langing
Camp is in an asylum, which was
201
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.720
kind of the vibe I got when
he was doing the in the audition,
202
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.200
because he says, he says,
what about your mom? You know how
203
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.759
you know your mom's Heather langing Camp. He's like, I'd really rather not
204
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.200
talk about that. Yeah, And
I was like, I immediately leaned to
205
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.480
you, and I was like,
I think she's in an asylum, you
206
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.240
know, which makes I mean,
makes perfect sense that she would be driven
207
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.600
crazy by a real life Freddy Krueger. Absolutely, I mean i'd buy that.
208
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.720
I'd buy that for a dollar.
So, yeah, that all being
209
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.279
said, yeah, what what do
we So we go? So we go
210
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.440
from the therapy to basically Dylan starts
having another nightmare with Freddy, and we
211
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.679
get a surprise appearance from is it
Rex? I can't remember the name of
212
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.080
the dinosaur. I believe it was
ry Rex. Rex makes an appearance from
213
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.519
New Nightmare, and what happens is
Dylan starts to have another dream of Freddie,
214
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.720
and what transpires from that is we
get more of Freddie appearing and talking
215
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.240
to him, but really don't have
really an idea of what's going on in
216
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.519
the story until we cut back to
the therapist who's going over the sessions.
217
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.240
She records some new notes and then
we find out that Freddie New Nightmare Freddie
218
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.320
has come back. He comes out
of Dylan's bed after an earthquake happens,
219
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.039
grabs the hat, grabs the coat, Dawn's the whole New Nightmare look,
220
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.919
and then goes and attacks the therapist
by first what cutting off her arm pretty
221
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.600
brutally. Yeah, it was very
It's gonna say I was not a humongous
222
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.519
fan of this film. It like
was a kind of level of like basic
223
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.679
slashery gore that is not really present
and much much Nightmare content. It's been
224
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.679
a Walls as I've seen New Nightmare, But if if I remember correctly the
225
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.759
opening game, I've got more violent. Yeah. The opening gag with the
226
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.120
with the claw coming alive been killing
people, that's pretty gruesome. The dad's
227
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.039
demise is really really disturbing me when
his cratch that that and also the baby,
228
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.799
the babysitter, the friend her well
but she and she's referential, She's
229
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.039
getting dragged the walls like in the
first one. Yeah, I'm not saying
230
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:24.320
that Freddie's not a gory character.
What I'm saying is that he just slashes
231
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.279
his arm and her he slashes his
claw and her arm just flops down on
232
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.879
the ground. Yeah, and I
just felt like that was very matter of
233
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.279
fact slash her kind of thing.
But it's still it worked. It did
234
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.960
work, It absolutely did. And
and before this, Dylan has actually tried
235
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.480
to call the psychiatric hospital and speak
to his mom. But then there's some
236
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.600
Freddie shenanigans with Freddy heavy breathing on
the phone while well, well also the
237
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.240
lady. Well, yeah, they
start messing with Freddy, starts messing with
238
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.279
him or his fear of Freddy or
whatever. Yeah, but then they say,
239
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.600
like, she's not available right now
because she's have I guess would be
240
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.960
having an episode. Yeah, isolutely. So he kills the therapist, basically
241
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.679
draws his claws through her heart,
kills her, and then we cut back
242
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.320
to Dylan, who wakes up the
next morning to his mom calling him,
243
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.480
and then that's the end of the
movie. And that was the part that
244
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.039
kind of peeved me up. Yeah, so yeah, the movies now now
245
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.159
literally what happens is now Freddy's killed
one person, yea, for real,
246
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.080
Dylan's had a couple of nightmares.
I did like the way they had Freddy
247
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.159
kind of raise up in his bedroom. Yeah, and stuff like that.
248
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:32.159
I thought that was pretty pretty cool. But after all of that, he's
249
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.919
sitting there and we're like, oh, man, Freddy's back, and then
250
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.720
his phone rings and it's the psychiatric
hospital. And again, nit picking really
251
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:44.120
bad. I am not as a
filmmaker for a living. I generally do
252
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.039
not pick on other filmmakers work.
Yeah, but you guys had a lot
253
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.320
of money to work with. And
when the when Heather quote unquote calls him,
254
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.679
her voice doesn't sound like she's on
a phone. Phones lack base,
255
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.519
they're all they're all hype. Hey, this is shuns on the front.
256
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.440
That's the way phone sound because the
speakers are small. This sounded like this.
257
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.559
It was like, Dylan, I'm
here. It sounded muffled instead like
258
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.119
she was in the other room,
which I didn't like. But it's literally
259
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.799
like, you know, I forgot
what she even said, but she said
260
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.880
Dylan, it's it's Dylan, it's
your mom or something, and then credits.
261
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:26.559
Yeah. I felt like this film
accomplished so little that I was a
262
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.720
little annoyed. Well, it's to
be a direct sequel to New Nightmare,
263
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.400
And as Hendrick said, thirty five
minutes is the kindness. Because I haven't
264
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.039
pulled off my laptop right now twenty
six or twenty seven minutes and forty three
265
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.000
seconds or when we get the credits. Yeah yeah, but and but again,
266
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.160
you know they need to credit everybody, and they put lots of cool
267
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.400
pictures showing how everybody has a great
time on the set. They were they
268
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.480
were definitely like, I'm not I'm
not here to shoot on them for having
269
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.319
a no no. But that all
being said, they accomplished so little.
270
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:03.519
It's not they accomplished to me less
than the first act of a film,
271
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.440
would I agree, well, being
as long as the first act of the
272
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.119
film, because we have such a
good storyline with New Nightmare, that the
273
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:17.000
idea of twenty twenty five years later
with Dylan having this trauma and I mean
274
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.319
this serious problem that he encountered with
New Nightmare, but like, we didn't
275
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.000
even touch on it. We have
one scene of him in therapy one seeing
276
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.240
him trying to get ahold of his
mom, and to be perfectly honest,
277
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.000
he's he's it's Dylan's New Nightmare.
But I didn't feel a sense of anything
278
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.839
that made it a direct sequel to
New Nightmare, except for the fact that
279
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.240
it's Miko Hughes I mean I like
that we were expec we were exploring the
280
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.160
world of New Nightmare more, the
idea of a world where Freddy Krueger movies
281
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.079
are just movies. But then part
seven is real. Yeah. I thought
282
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.680
that was really fun. I thought
Miko Hughes very good actor. Yeah,
283
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.440
although I do want to say one
of my pet peeves is why the hell
284
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.559
would he become an actor? Yeah, that is a little strange. Dad
285
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.119
died in show business, his mother
went crazy in show business, So what
286
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:07.839
does he do becomes an actor?
I'm just shrugging. I literally just went
287
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.839
back through the film because I was
making sure I didn't miss anything. No,
288
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.640
we did just give a summary of
the film that is that is all
289
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:18.039
it is. And the other problem
is that the short is extremely well paced
290
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.480
well paid. But when I say
well paced, I mean well paced in
291
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.279
that it's slow and building. Yeah, and then it's just over. It's
292
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.640
just over. And I get like
the argument of like, well, they
293
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.079
leave you wanting more, It's like, no, they left me wanting anything.
294
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.599
Yeah. I felt like I got
like, a, hey, here's
295
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:40.200
Dylan now, zero zero wrap up
of anything, zero closure, And I
296
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.640
get it. It's like, okay, so what do you like, Okay,
297
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.799
I'm gonna be grumpy grumpy, but
if it felt like they were leaving
298
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:57.880
it open, yeah, so that
what because because here's my grumpy Warner Brothers
299
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.920
is not going to get have a
flying shit about this short. The only
300
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.559
thing they're probably worried about is are
you violating fair use? Are you violating
301
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:15.640
parody? Are you violating fan fiction
law? But this is not going to
302
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.559
lead to this being a real movie. And when I say real movie,
303
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:25.359
I mean you know, a real
New Line Cinema Warner Brothers production that's canonical
304
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.400
and blah blah blah blah blah.
It's not going to happen. And I'm
305
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.400
not That's just the truth. So
what I got from that is like,
306
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.519
we get basically nothing after two years, two and a half years of raising
307
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.160
money and talking about it and everything
like that. It's all good. It
308
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.240
could have taken four years, doesn't
matter. It takes as long as it
309
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.359
takes. But for it to end
on that cliffhanger, it's like, so,
310
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.680
am I supposed to hope now that
we raise another hundred and some thousand
311
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.279
dollars and pray that I get a
little bit more of this in like two
312
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.640
or three years, I guess.
Also, my point is is with a
313
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.759
story like this, with that being
your cliffhanger, is that Nancy's calling being
314
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.160
like, yeah, it's it's your
mom. Okay, Well what does that
315
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.640
mean? She's still in an asylum. So are they gonna fight Freddy together?
316
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.119
Are they? I mean, I
don't know, because they didn't even
317
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.279
have Heather Langenkamp to say those three
words or whatever. But that's not my
318
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.039
problem to me. I mean,
like that was a good place to end
319
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.119
on, but it made But my
problem is, and this is happening a
320
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.240
lot in not just fan films,
but in movies in general. I go
321
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.160
and I sit down for a film
and I'm and I sit for hours to
322
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.119
find out that it was never going
to be a complete story. Yeah,
323
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.960
and that I'm getting tired of it. Well, it's it's frustrating because you
324
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.039
have, you have a element here
of a story because I you and I've
325
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.480
talked about New Nightmare at length before, but like, New Nightmare is such
326
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.279
a good it's such a good film
in regards of what it does with the
327
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.039
metedness of the of the Nightmare universe, but also it's really a scary,
328
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.680
fucking movie. Yeah, I know
it makes Freddy scary. Yeah. Yeah,
329
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.319
And this whole idea of him answering
the phone and being like Dylan,
330
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.880
it's mom, Okay, that's great
and all. But like, I feel
331
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.920
like you could have done something with
his character, were to either give him
332
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.240
like a love interest or give him
somebody. Well, I think that they
333
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.960
were establishing that he's all alone because
yeah, he's damaged. Yeah, because
334
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.480
he's traumatic. Yeah, I think
if you want it, if I if
335
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.440
I was sitting in the editing room
and it was like, here's what we've
336
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.319
got, how do we fix it? And no one is asked, Yeah,
337
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.319
no one's asked. But if I
had to come up with a solution
338
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.400
to this problem, my solution would
be at least have at least have Dylan
339
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.200
confront Freddie once. Yeah, because
Freddie he never he sees Freddy in a
340
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:52.240
dream that's not really Freddie. Yeah, at least have Freddie like walk up
341
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.160
to Dylan in his dreams and be
like I killed your therapist and then like
342
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.680
you know, like he does leave
the bloody pat in on the night stanle
343
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.440
there is But I'm just saying,
like you should have to. I want
344
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.519
Dylan to look at Freddy dead in
the eyes and go, this is really
345
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:12.400
happening again. I am not crazy. I am not all these things,
346
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:17.359
And and then that moment where he's
like and now I have no idea what
347
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.680
I'm going to do. I'm all
alone. No one would ever believe me.
348
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:25.319
Phone rings it's his mom. Yeah, that that would be good.
349
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.400
You know, it would have been
even better if the phone had rang and
350
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:32.079
it wasn't even just like Dylan it
your mama would have been like, yeah,
351
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:37.319
this is so and so from the
hospital. Your mother woke up from
352
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.440
a catatonic state just now and she's
only saying your name. So I don't
353
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.839
know what she's going to say,
and I don't know if it's gonna be
354
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.200
lucid. But are you are you
prepared to talk to your mother? And
355
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.000
he'd be like yes, And then
she'd be like Dylan, you know,
356
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.559
like oh she actually that would have
been it would have been like Dylan.
357
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.839
What if she was like what if
she was just like it was like this
358
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.359
long positive like Dylan. He's like, yeah, Mom, She's like I
359
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:07.599
think Freddie's back was bom bom bomb. But I get it. They did
360
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.480
a pretty good job overall. But
I think that this is a problem I
361
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:18.559
have with most filmmaking these days,
is I didn't feel like storytelling was the
362
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:25.279
focus. I felt like fun and
special effects. And I think it's hypocritical
363
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:27.960
to pick on a fan film for
fan service, but like those were the
364
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.880
focus is not on how interesting.
Yeah, the dichotomy of Dylan's story is
365
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.480
Now, this is just my opinion
and it's probably wrong, but but that's
366
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.359
what I thought. So did I
enjoy it? Sure? But was I
367
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.400
disappointed when it just kind of ended? Well, you and I were both
368
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.599
like, it's over, like that
I know, I went, I went,
369
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.200
it's over. Yeah, like I
like knowingly went like I think,
370
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.359
it just ended, and then the
credits came out. I was like,
371
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.000
I think, what I think,
what I would have liked to have seen
372
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:02.480
from it is if we would have
had more of a troubled nous with Dylan,
373
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.640
if he would have had like an
episode or something in regards not just
374
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.519
the nightmare in the beginning audition,
but like if he would have had like
375
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.119
like like a seizure and had to
take pills or something like something along those
376
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.319
lines. There wasn't a lot of
drama in him. No, Like I
377
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:21.920
mean talking to his therapist was a
good start the Yeah, but yeah,
378
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.119
it would have been cool to see
him like clearly relying on prescription or even
379
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:30.200
non prescription medication. Yeah, it
would have been cool to see something else.
380
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:32.640
Well, even the freak out with
the audition. I would have loved
381
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:34.880
it if he would have just fallen
asleep and like woken up in the audition
382
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.839
and like people being like, oh, like yeah, you're clearly like Langen
383
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.640
Camp's kid or whatever. You know, it would have been an even cooler
384
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:48.200
thing. Why couldn't Why Why wasn't
all of it? Because there's no apparent
385
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.359
reason that Freddy's back right now.
I mean, it just it just it's
386
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.119
just kind of there's just time,
yeah for Freddie to be back. Why
387
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:02.400
couldn't Why why couldn't instead of it
being an audition for Hatchet five, which
388
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.960
who gives a Ship? And I
love Adam Green as a filmmaker, as
389
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.039
a podcaster, as a human being. Yeah, but I mean, like,
390
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.559
who get that's just like a cute
like a thing. Why couldn't it
391
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.559
have been you know, the the
have you ever heard the term the water
392
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.799
bottle tours? Like where you go
to you go, you go to all
393
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.839
these studios and they're like, here's
your bottle of water. They're like,
394
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:29.519
tell me about you. Why couldn't
it have been Dylan gets called Dylan.
395
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.680
He's on hard times, he's an
actor, you know, he's having trouble
396
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.920
getting work, gets called to go
into a meeting at Warner There you go.
397
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:45.279
They want to bring Freddie back,
and they know it's a sensitive topic,
398
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.960
but they found a script at Wes's
home that would be very cool,
399
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.400
that would be so fucking cool,
and then they could pull out that script
400
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.000
that says like that literally has like
Wes's things saying like I want Nancy to
401
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.039
fight Freddie one last time, last
time, and then and then that's what
402
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.640
brings Freddie back. Yeah. Is
Freddy's now in his mind full bore.
403
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.519
Yeah. And it's one of those
things too where it's like if Dylan just
404
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.319
said like fuck you Warner Brothers,
He's ruining his whole life, Yeah,
405
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.880
because this is his life story that
they want to turn into a new Nightmare,
406
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.160
into a new Nightmare movie. But
it's like I guess also, it's
407
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.400
like having had David Gordon Green's Halloween
trilogy with twenty eighteen hoween Kills and hoween
408
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:32.799
ends. We got a sense of
Jamie Lee with Laurie's character being so PTSD
409
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.960
with everything that had happened that she
became a survivor but then changed everything when
410
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.480
she realized that Michael was ruining her
life. I feel like we didn't get
411
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:42.640
a lot of PTSD with Dylan's character. I feel like it could have been.
412
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.200
There were a lot of opportunities I
felt were missed, But I do
413
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.440
think that it was a little too
matter of fact. I feel like I
414
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.240
feel like there was too much excitement
about, Wow, we are able to
415
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.079
do this, and not enough excitement
about what it should be. Because,
416
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.440
to be honest, dead serious,
the reason that I pitched that we watched
417
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.279
this on the show was I was
excited. Yeah, No, I was
418
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:08.720
too. I was super amped for
this new Nightmare because I thought that this
419
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:14.799
was being made out of a passion
for the Dylan story to be told.
420
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.480
Yeah, and after watching it,
I think that the passion was that they
421
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.920
could get me go hues. Yeah. And that's not a dig No,
422
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.880
he didn't great. You can't get
a lot of people who were main character
423
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.839
cast to be in these fan films, so I'm not I'm not digging but
424
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.759
I thought there was so much potential
wasted. Dylan has so much pathos.
425
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:40.920
There's so much pathos in the New
Nightmare movie about family history of insanity,
426
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.799
about about reality versus make believe,
about the effect of life that Art has,
427
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.279
and instead we got like Freddy's back. Yeah, why because he's back,
428
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:53.480
And then you know, all his
mom called him and I'm sorry,
429
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.759
like I'm very disappointed. I mean, I'm sure they tried their hearts out,
430
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.079
but I'm so disappointed that you couldn't
get that heatherlight in camp wouldn't do
431
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.759
like four lines. But part of
me wonders if she read the script and
432
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.279
went, yeah, and it very
well could be. I think, honestly,
433
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.359
the biggest issue I have with it
is it just does not, like
434
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:14.920
you said, accomplish anything. It
accomplishes like a little fan service fund,
435
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.480
a little bit of like of like
I'm a horror nerd, you know,
436
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.920
a little bit of like oh,
but then it was over. But it's
437
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.119
like even Rex, even Rex coming
back, like you and I said,
438
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.759
like Rex was just there, like
yeah, yeah, Rex came back right
439
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.640
at the end. Yeah, and
then they was also a teaser at the
440
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.039
end credits too. But that's a
whole nother story. I just so,
441
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.440
I guess my point is, like, so you left me wanting more of
442
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.599
what like another really high budget for
a fan film, fan film that I'm
443
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.119
going to wait a few years to
get to see more of this. Why
444
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:48.680
didn't you just why didn't you just
fly Mico Hughes to somewhere in America where
445
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.720
it's cheap to make a movie and
make us an hour long movie with Miko
446
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.079
Hughes instead of going to La,
so you could, like so you could
447
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.559
fan fiction your own LA experience and
make a big Hollywood movie. Yeah,
448
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.960
that's and that's that's where I get
grumpy. And I know I'm the old
449
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.720
man of indie cinema at this point, but that's that's my opinion is like
450
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.200
I would have rather had more.
I would have rather had a more more
451
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.640
of a draw. Yeah, and
we didn't get that. We just got
452
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.519
some cool, fun fan service and
it was over. And that's fine too.
453
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.279
I think I hope that everybody who
contributed is super happy with it.
454
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:26.240
Absolutely no, And I mean,
and that's the thing is, I don't
455
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.799
I don't want to put this down
and say don't watch this. It's definitely
456
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.799
worth a talk. Punch it up
on YouTube. It's it's it's literally twenty
457
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.519
seven minutes of your life. And
yeah, it's it's fun. It is
458
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.799
fun, and like the photos of
them doing it and stuff are super fun.
459
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.680
You get to see like that Freddie's
hand was actually was actually Miko Hughes's
460
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.720
hand and he like flips the bird
at the camera. It's fun for sure.
461
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.960
I just felt like there was so
much opportunity left on the table.
462
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.200
Absolutely. Yeah. So you can
find it on YouTube, but Dylan's new
463
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.559
Nightmareage type it in. You can
find the trailer on there as well as
464
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.039
the full thing, and it's definitely
worth your time. It's a fun one.
465
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:03.319
But there's a lot of potential there
with how we've been dealing with legacy
466
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.880
sequels and a lot lately. That's
just I was amped for this and it
467
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.039
disappointed. Give it a little bit, is it? Maybe it's just time.
468
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.000
Maybe we need to run an indie
go go for one hundred grand to
469
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.319
do a fan season of Freddie's NaNs
season. Oh my god, and we
470
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.920
will do Freddie as doctor Claude.
He'll just be a glove and an arm
471
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.960
and a voice. Maybe that's what
we should do. Yeah, we good,
472
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:30.440
We definitely could. But no,
if you guys, if you guys
473
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.119
want to send us your thoughts on
it, please do. We would love
474
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.279
to hear them, and even your
thoughts on New Nightmare. Maybe you're not
475
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:37.559
a fan of New Nightmare and this
isn't up your alley at all, but
476
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.359
either way, we would love to
hear from you, because these these are
477
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.920
the kind of elements in ephemera that
we dive into sometimes that we both love
478
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.119
and regret. I did like it
and see, but this is the thing.
479
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:56.279
The reason I like Freddie's Nightmare so
much is because so many times they
480
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.839
took advantage of what they had.
Yeah, absolutely in the film. They
481
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.240
add good writers, they had great
actors, and so they told stories that
482
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.480
sometimes really matter. Yeah, and
at the very least, we're highly entertaining.
483
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.440
And I felt like this one had
all fluff and it was all about
484
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:15.160
making fans go hell yeah, brother, which it did. Totally yea brother,
485
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.519
I totally did. Yeah, I
do not want you. This is
486
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:20.480
not a one star movie. This
is like a two and a half star
487
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.119
fan film, which is impressive.
But I just thought there could have been
488
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:28.920
more, and I wanted there to
be more, and I hope that they
489
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.079
do get to continue it. I
will. I will watch it, and
490
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.680
if it's great, I will scream
it from the rooftops, but not on
491
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:40.559
podcast because it'll be long dead.
Anything else you want to wrap up with,
492
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.960
No, I feel like I got
across my points. I hope I
493
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.480
wasn't a total prick. If anybody
happens to watch this or listen to this,
494
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.400
who worked on that film? You
guys did a good job. Yeah,
495
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.359
absolutely, the effects were cool.
I wasn't. I wasn't in love
496
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.759
with how Freddie was done, but
I think that could have been solved with
497
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.799
better lighting choices to hide imperfections and
stuff. You and I are hardcore Freddie
498
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.400
fans. So anything that get or
not what are you talking about? What
499
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.880
makes you say? Anything that gets
thrown our way of this ephemera of this
500
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:14.519
fandom, anything that we want to
check out or is made by fans.
501
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.640
I'm curious to see what it looks
like. And this is definitely one that
502
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.440
I would recommend to people. Yeah. Yeah, well thanks for nothing,
503
