Wes Craven’s New Nightmare Page #2

I MEAN, THE ORIGINAL,

5 VERY POPULAR SEQUELS.

HOW HAS ALL THE SUCCESS

AFFECTED YOU PERSONALLY?

I DON'T KNOW

IF IT REALLY HAS, SAM.

I--

[LAUGHS] GOD.

WITH THE EXCEPTION

OF 1 AND 3,

I PRETTY MUCH STAYED

OUT OF IT, AND, UH...

WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M DOING

A LOT MORE TELEVISION NOW,

SO THOSE HOURS LET ME

SPEND A LOT MORE TIME

WITH MY HUSBAND:

AND MY LITTLE BOY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU HAVE A LITTLE BOY.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

DYLAN.

WITH DYLAN, DOES THAT

CHANGE YOUR FEELING,

YOUR PERSPECTIVE

ABOUT HORROR MOVIES?

NO, NOT REALLY.

I MEAN, WOULD YOU LET HIM

SEE ONE OF YOUR MOVIES?

MY SON? NO.

I'M SURE PEOPLE ASK YOU

THIS ALL THE TIME--

IS THERE GOING TO BE

ANOTHER SEQUEL,

AND WHAT'S MORE,

IS FREDDY REALLY DEAD?

OF COURSE HE IS.

FREDDY'S DEAD AND GONE.

AND HOW ABOUT YOUR

COSTAR IN THE ORIGINAL,

IN NIGHTMARE 1,

WOULD YOU TRUST HIM

ALONE WITH DYLAN?

ROBERT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DON'T WE ASK HIM

HOW HE'D FEEL ABOUT IT?

WE'VE GOT A BIG SURPRISE

FOR YOU, HEATHER,

AND FOR OUR AUDIENCE.

LET'S BRING HIM OUT.

HE IS THE BEST:

OF THE BAD.

LET'S SAY HELLO

TO ROBERT ENGLUND.

[APPLAUSE]

HA HA!

LOVE YA, BABE!

WE'LL DO LUNCH! HA!

I'M ALIVE ONCE AGAIN!

FREDDY'S BACK! GIVE IT UP

FOR YOUR UNCLE FREDDY!

HA HA HA!

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS

SAFE TO GET BACK INTO BED!

HA HA! HA HA!

GIVE ME 5!

HA HA HA HA!

I'M BACK,

AND I'M BADDER THAN EVER!

YEAH! YEAH!

Crowd:

FREDDY! FREDDY! FREDDY!

HA! YOU ARE

ALL MY CHILDREN NOW!

HA HA HA HA!

I GOT TO GO, ROBERT.

UM, JUST A SECOND.

I'LL WALK YOU.

THERE YOU GO, KIDS.

Child:
THANK YOU.

BYE-BYE.

YOU OK?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

WELL, EVERYTHING

WENT GREAT, I THOUGHT.

WE REALLY GOT YOU,

DIDN'T WE?

I DON'T KNOW WHY

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME.

OH, COME ON. THEY LOVED

THE EXPRESSION:

ON YOUR FACE.

I THINK THEY'D LIKE TO

SEE US TOGETHER AGAIN.

IN WHAT,

A ROMANTIC COMEDY?

JUST BECAUSE:

IT'S A LOVE STORY

DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T

HAVE A DECAPITATION OR TWO.

Man:
HEATHER.

THERE'S A CALL FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

LISTEN, I'LL TALK

TO YOU LATER.

BYE-BYE.

BYE-BYE.

HELLO?

HEATHER, IT'S SARA RISHER

OVER AT NEW LINE CINEMA.

HOW ARE YOU?

HI, SARA. HOW ARE YOU?

THIS IS A VOICE:

FROM THE PAST.

IT SURE IS.

WELL, LISTEN, HEATHER,

I WON'T TAKE BUT A MINUTE.

IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVE

SOMETHING TO PROPOSE TO YOU,

AND I WONDER IF YOU'D

STOP BY THE OFFICES.

BOB WOULD LOVE:

TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, SURE. WHEN?

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.

THE CAR WILL BRING YOU OVER.

NOW?

JUST TAKE A MINUTE.

YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID,

I BET. BYE.

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M HERE TO SEE

BOB SHAYE.

WAS BOB EXPECTING YOU?

HEATHER. HI.

SARA. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M FINE. HOW ARE YOU?

GREAT TO SEE YOU.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

THANK YOU.

BOB IS DYING TO SEE YOU.

CAN I GET YOU:

SOMETHING TO DRINK?

COFFEE WOULD BE FINE.

BLACK?

BLACK'S FINE.

KIM, COULD YOU

GET US SOME COFFEE?

SURE.

THANKS.

Bob:
I THINK THE GUY IS

A LITTLE BIT OF A JERK,

BUT WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL

WE'VE READ THE SCRIPT.

ANYHOW, I'LL GIVE YOU

A CALL WHEN I--

HEY! LISTEN, MAN,

I GOT TO GO.

SEE YOU LATER, OK?

THANKS.

CALL ME WHEN YOU

GET TO MILAN,

AND DON'T FORGET--

RISOTTO CON TARTUFI.

IT'S FANTASTICO!

YEAH, TAKE CARE, MAN.

I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. BYE.

BOY, DO YOU LOOK GREAT,

HEATHER.

THANKS.

HOW ARE YOU?

GREAT. I'M FINE.

AND I DON'T HAVE TO ASK

HOW YOU'RE DOING.

WELL, SO FAR SO GOOD.

WHICH, BY THE WAY,

IS WHY WE ASKED YOU

TO COME BY TODAY.

AH, THANKS, KIM.

SURE.

LOOK, HEATHER, LET ME

CUT TO THE CHASE.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE

TO JOIN US:

IN THE DEFINITIVE

NIGHTMARE?

I THOUGHT YOU:

KILLED FREDDY OFF.

WELL, WE DID,

BUT THE FANS,

YOU KNOW, THE FANS,

GOD BLESS THEM,

THEY'RE CLAMORING

FOR MORE.

I GUESS EVIL:

NEVER DIES, RIGHT?

ANYHOW, A FEW WEEKS AGO,

I GOT A CALL FROM WES,

AND HE PITCHED ME THIS

REALLY EXCITING IDEA,

AND I STARTED THINKING,

"WHO BETTER TO RESURRECT

FREDDY THAN HIS CREATOR?"

WELL, I THOUGHT WES STOPPED

DOING HORROR MOVIES.

[SCOFFS] DO YOU KNOW

HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME

HE HADN'T CALLED ME

IN THE LAST 10 YEARS

BECAUSE HE HADN'T HAD ANY

REALLY SCARY NIGHTMARES?

THEY'RE HIS INSPIRATION

FOR THIS THING.

ANYHOW, HE'S--HE'S RIGHT

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCRIPT.

WHICH MEANS HE'S

HAVING NIGHTMARES AGAIN.

WELL, HE'S VERY

EXCITED ABOUT IT.

THE NIGHTMARES?

NO, SWEETIE, THE SCRIPT.

AND YOU SHOULD BE, TOO,

BECAUSE...

YOU'RE THE STAR.

I DON'T KNOW, BOB.

I'M FLATTERED, REALLY,

BUT I HAVE A KID NOW,

AND...

WELL, SO?

SO I'M NOT SURE

ABOUT DOING HORROR.

OH, COME ON, HEATHER.

KIDS LOVE HORROR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOB.

I HAVE OTHER THINGS

HAPPENING.

HEATHER, LOOK, I PROMISE YOU

WE'LL MATCH ANY OFFER

THAT'S ON THE TABLE FOR YOU.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT.

IT'S...

LOOK, I HAVE A FAN.

HEATHER, YOU GOT

PLENTY OF FANS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING

MARKETING RESEARCH ON YOU.

YOU ARE RATING:

RIGHT UP THERE.

LOOK, WE'VE GOT CHASE

WORKING ON A PROTOTYPE

FOR THE NEW GLOVE.

IT'S REALLY--

WHAT?

OK, I KNOW.

WE ASKED HIM TO KIND OF

KEEP IT AS A SURPRISE

UNTIL YOU AND I COULD

HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.

BOB...

HOW LONG HAS WES BEEN

WORKING ON THIS SCRIPT?

I DON'T KNOW.

A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHY?

AND SINCE YOU'VE BEEN

THINKING OF MAKING IT,

HAS ANYTHING FUNNY

HAPPENED?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, LIKE...

WEIRD PHONE CALLS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

OR NIGHTMARES.

[RING]

WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER

YOUR PHONE, BOB?

[RING]

THAT'S WHAT WE GOT PEOPLE

WE PAY AROUND HERE FOR.

WILL SOMEONE PICK UP

THE DAMN PHONE?

[RING]

THANKS A LOT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[DYLAN SCREAMING]

DYLAN?

WHAT THE--

EEE!

[SCARY VOICE]

NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

[SCREAMING]

OH, WHAT IS GOING ON?

YOU DIDN'T LET HIM WATCH

THE MOVIE ON TV, DID YOU?

MOVIE? HE DIDN'T WATCH

ANYTHING ON TV.

HE WAS TAKING HIS NAP,

AND I HEARD HIM SCREAMING.

HONEY, ARE YOU OK?

MM-HMM.

REX SAVED ME.

HE DID?

[PANTING]

IS REX GOING TO DIE?

NO.

REX IS NOT GOING TO DIE.

I PROMISE YOU, SWEETIE.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE

THE SEWING STUFF IS

IN THE KITCHEN?

SURE.

WE'LL DO AN OPERATION, OK?

COME ON.

DR. DYLAN AND DR. JULIE.

FIX HIM UP:

GOOD AS NEW, OK?

Man:
HEY, CHASE.

YOU'VE GOT A CALL.

IT'S YOUR WIFE.

HEATHER.

CHASE, HI.

CHASE, YOU BETTER

COME HOME.

OH, HEATHER.

I'M STUCK HERE.

NEITHER CHUCK OR TERRY

CAME IN TODAY.

WHY? WHAT'S THE MATTER?

CHASE, IT'S DYLAN.

WHAT?

[STATIC]

HOLD ON. THE PHONE'S

BREAKING UP.

Chase:
OK.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH DYLAN?

HE'S HAD SOME SORT

OF A...EPISODE.

WHAT?

WHAT KIND OF EPISODE?

HE WAS JUST ACTING

VERY STRANGELY.

LIKE SOMEBODY:

WAS AFTER HIM.

IT'S SCARY.

IT SCARED ME.

HE WAS ACTING LIKE...

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE FREDDY.

HEATHER, HAS THERE BEEN

ANOTHER PHONE CALL?

CHASE,

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME

YOU WERE WORKING

ON A NEW GLOVE?

AND WHY AREN'T CHUCK

AND TERRY AT WORK TODAY?

FORGET THOSE CLOWNS,

HEATHER. ANSWER ME.

HAS THERE BEEN ANOTHER

PHONE CALL TODAY OR NOT?

YES.

[SIGHS]

OK.

I'M COMING HOME.

I'LL BE THERE

IN 3 HOURS.

[CLICK]

DANNY, I GOT TO GO.

WHAT'S UP, CHASE?

MY KID'S SICK.

I GOT TO FLY.

[TRUCK STARTS]

Heather:
"AS SOON

AS THE SUN WAS UP,

"THE WITCH MADE GRETEL

FETCH THE WOOD:

"AND KINDLE A FIRE.

"WE WILL BAKE COOKIES

FIRST, SHE SAID.
