Heather Langenkamp Shares Rare “Relic” from Original A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
Heather Langenkamp became one of the 1980s’ most beloved “final girls” following a couple of battle royales with “the bastard son of 100 maniacs”. As Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street and A Nightmare on Elm 3: Dream Warriors, she came mightily close to besting Freddy Krueger (played by Robert Englund) and she also played herself in New Nightmare, a meta-horror which some regard as a spiritual predecessor to the Scream franchise.
Now, Langenkamp has unearthed an interesting “relic” from the production of the first A Nightmare on Elm Street, directed by Master of Horror Wes Craven and released in 1984. It’s a shooting schedule for Nightmare that covers the production’s first 25 days. It might not look like much from a distance, but it’s a thrilling window into the making of the film Fred-Heads will enjoy perusing. Langenkamp shared the image on Twitter.
