Caption : #30YearsofNightmare Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street all month. I’ll be posting fun facts about the film daily. INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS I read an article in the LA Times of a teenage boy who was suffering from horrible nightmares and began fighting sleep by any means possible. The boy’s parents, concerned for his well being, got him sleeping pills. Finally getting him to sleep, they took him up to his room only to hear him moments later thrashing, screaming, and eventually dying. The parents found a coffee maker as well as all the sleeping pills hidden in the room. I thought it would be interesting if there was something or someone in the dreams that actually killed him, thus Freddy was born.

Caption : #30YearsofNightmare Contrary to popular beliefs, Elm St. wasn’t named after any specific location. I wanted to have a place that was pure Americana. The school I taught at prior to changing careers was Clarkston College of Technology in Potsdam, New York. The main street there was Elm St., so that may have influenced it slightly. Elm St. was also the name of the street where JFK was assassinated.

The role of Glen had come down to Depp and one other actor when my daughter told me I must cast Depp. I was unsure of Depp’s look but finally gave in when she insisted that girls would love him.

Caption : #30YearsofNightmare The movie almost folded before production had even begun. Initially, Smart Egg productions were supposed to put $1 million into the movie, but they dropped out several days before filming began, and producer Robert Shaye had to try to raise money elsewhere. Two weeks into shooting, the production had no money left to pay the crew, so line producer John H. Burrows used his credit card. Eventually, Shaye brokered a deal with a European company called Media Home Entertainment and subsequently persuaded Smart Egg to put up the final $200,000 needed to complete the film. New Line Cinema was saved from bankruptcy by the success of the film, and was jokingly nicknamed “the house that Freddy built.”

Caption : #30YearsofNightmare The inspiration for the character of Freddy came from several sources in my childhood. A boy named Freddy bullied me for years on our shared paper route. Freddy’s appearance (especially the dirty clothes and hat) was inspired by a hobo who I saw staring at me through my window late one evening. #FreddyKrueger

Caption : #30YearsofNightmare The idea behind the glove was a practical one on my part, as I wanted to give the character a unique weapon, but also something that could be made cheaply and wouldn’t be difficult to use or transport. At the time, I was studying primal fears embedded in the subconscious of people of all cultures and discovered that one of those fears is attack by animal claws. Around the same time, I saw my cat unsheathe its claws, and the two concepts merged, although in the original script the blades were fishing knives, not steak knives as in the finished film. #FreddyKrueger #NightmareonElmStreet

New Line Cinema, which was a tiny, independent studio at the time, finally picked up the script after everyone else said no one would be frightened by a movie about dreams. I still have at least one of the rejection letters to prove it. #NightmareonElmStreet #FreddyKrueger

Caption : #30YearsofNightmare The revolving room — where Tina gets killed, and later, where the blood is coming out of Johnny Depp’s bed — that was a real puzzle to construct. They bolted two racing car seats to the wall, one for the cinematographer and one for myself, and we were in five-point harnesses. For Johnny’s scene, 300 gallons of blood had to come out of his bed. I wanted the grips to rotate the room slowly so blood would run down the walls. But the room took off in an enormous spin from the sudden shift of weight, and blood went everywhere. It hit every light and blew every fuse. They assumed I was dead by the time it was done.
