Join us for this special episode as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic horror film “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” We delve into the genius of Wes Craven, exploring how his groundbreaking vision shaped the horror genre and introduced us to the unforgettable Freddy Krueger, played masterfully by Robert Englund. We'll take a nostalgic look back at the film's leading stars, including Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Amanda Wyss, and Nick Corri, and we can't forget the breakout role of a young Johnny Depp, who faced off against the terrors of the dream world. Tune in as we dissect the film's impact on pop culture, its enduring legacy, and why it still keeps us awake at night. Given the name of their podcast, we had to have Brooke and Marc back from A Podcast on Elm Street to help us look back at 40 years of terror on Elm Street and how it has shaped the horror genre in the years since its release. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the franchise, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, expert commentary, and a deep dive into what makes "A Nightmare on Elm Street" a timeless classic.  Links For Guests: A Podcast on Elm Street Where To Watch A Nightmare on Elm Street

Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to terrorizing you in season two. "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy." Where were YOU on November 11, 1984? If that was anywhere other than your local multiplex, you missed out on a seminal cultural event of the decade: the premiere of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, Wes Craven's surreal slasher, in which a long-(thought)-dead child murderer begins haunting (and killing) teenagers in their dreams. With a cast led by Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss, Robert Englund, and "introducing Johnny Depp," ELM STREET struck a chord in the zeitgeist, and went on to spawn a franchise than only became funnier and campier as it went along. But the original remains a landmark of indelible images and ingenious practical effects.

A Nightmare On Elm Street: Secuelas: 6, una serie de TV, un crossover con “Friday The 13th” y un remake. Presupuesto: 1.1 Million USD. Recaudación: 57 Million USD. Año: 1984. Director: Wes Craven. Actores: Heather Langenkamp (Nancy), John Saxon (teniente Donald Thompson), Johnny Deep (Glen), Amanda Wyss (Tina) y Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger). ¿De qué trata la película?Un grupo de adolescentes son atormentados en sus sueños por un sujeto con quemaduras llamado Freddy Krueger. Después de la muerte de su amiga Tina, Nancy Thompson se da cuenta de que, si mueren en sus pesadillas, también mueren en la vida real y tratará de descubrir por qué son perseguidos y cómo librarse de la situación.Inicios: La idea principal se le ocurrió a Craven cuando leyó un artículo sobre una familia que provenía de Camboya y el hijo menor tenía pesadillas, así que trataba de mantenerse despierto a toda costa. Lo llevaron al doctor para recetarle pastillas, pero no se las tomaba (fingía que lo hacía) y tenía café escondido en el clóset para mantenerse despierto. Eventualmente se quedó dormido y murió de forma inexplicable. Escribió el guion en 1981 y varias productoras lo rechazaron, entre ellas Disney, Paramount y Universal, hasta que New Line Cinema se interesó por la historia y aceptó invertir en el proyecto. Bob Shaye, de New Line Cinema, se interesó mucho en el proyecto desde el principio. El problema fue que no tenían dinero, solo una línea de crédito de 100,000 dólares y el contrato estipulaba que no podía utilizarse en producción cinematográfica. Después de que Wes obtuvo tantas cartas de rechazo, regresó con Bob y le dijo “¿pues qué onda entonces?” y Bob le respondió que iba a conseguir el dinero, pero que firmara con él. Para este estudio, fue la primera película con un éxito grande y, a pesar de que tuvo más producciones exitosas, se le suele llamar “la casa que construyó Freddy”. Justo a una semana de comenzar la filmación, uno de los inversionistas mayoritarios en la producción se echó para atrás. Les dijeron a todos que no tenían dinero para pagarles esa semana, pero que les dieran oportunidad y no dejaran de trabajar, que la semana siguiente iban a tener su pago. No recibieron el pago hasta dos semanas después y entró otro inversionista de último momento a levantar el proyecto, pero todos los que estaban involucrados en la filmación creían mucho en la película, ninguno dejó su puesto. Actores: El personaje de Fred Krueger iba a ser interpretado por un doble de riesgo, ya que sus secuencias exigían mucho movimiento físico y no tantos diálogos, sin embargo, cambiaron de idea y decidieron contratar a un actor. La primera opción fue David Warner, no obstante, tuvo que rechazarlo porque el calendario de filmación no se ajustaba a sus otros proyectos. Inclusive ya tenían la máscara que iba a utilizar, hecha a su medida. Craven conoció a Robert Englund y al principio no lo convenció por ser poco intimidante y bajo de estatura, pero Robert entendía lo sanguinario que tenía que ser el personaje y eso persuadió a Craven. Una de las peticiones de los inversionistas fue que consiguieran un actor reconocido para que ayudara a promocionar la película en el extranjero y seleccionaron al actor John Saxon, quien ya contaba con una trayectoria en Hollywood. Fue la primera película de la actriz Heather Langenkamp, pues Craven quería que el rol de la protagonista fuera para una actriz desconocida. Craven imaginaba a Nancy como una chica con la cual la audiencia lograra sentir relación, que pudiera ser una vecina suya. Además, quería alejarse del estereotipo de belleza hollywoodense de rubia blanca. De alguna forma describe a Heather como una chica morena llena de fortalezas. Fue también la primera película del actor Johnny Deep. ¿Quién es Freddy? Originalmente Fred Krueger era un abusador de menores, pero tuvieron que cambiarlo, ya que, en su momento, estaba un caso similar en todas las noticias en EE. UU., y no querían que pareciera que se estaban aprovechando de la trágica noticia. Wes Craven acostumbraba a basarse en sus experiencias personales y lo que sucedía alrededor para desarrollar sus historias y personajes. El caso de Freddy no es la excepción. Además, conforme crece la franquicia obtenemos más información sobre él. Modus operandi: Wes Craven, basado en la historia del chico de Camboya y el comentario de un amigo que le dijo que tuvo una pesadilla tan terrible que sintió que era real, concibió el modus operandi del villano: matar a través de los sueños. Además, ya tenía rato queriendo hacer un proyecto que involucrara a los sueños, pero, por más que compartía su idea, decían que los sueños no daban miedo. Lo más terrorífico de Freddy es ese paradigma de que, cuando tienes una pesadilla, es solo eso, una pesadilla. Te despiertas y estás bien. Wes Craven la convierte en el motor de la destrucción: si te duermes, la realidad y el sueño se mezclan a tal grado que, si mueres en el sueño, entonces mueres en la vida real. Además, hay un sentido de presión y de urgencia, ¿por qué? Porque se tiene el tiempo en contra. Sabemos que, como humanos, tenemos que dormir, no importa cuánto café tomemos o cuántas píldoras, el cuerpo resiste solo hasta cierto nivel y luego se entrega, no puedes escapar. Bien lo dice el doctor: no puedo evitar que sueñes porque es necesario para mantenernos vivos y cuerdos. Ni siquiera los doctores entendemos los sueños. Al dormir, estás destinado a encontrar a Freddy en tus sueños y sentenciado a morir horriblemente. Apariencia: Debido a que fue quemado, tiene la carne expuesta, ronchas y no solo eso, está en el mundo de los sueños donde cosas sin sentido ocurren. Escena cuando Tina le agarra la cara y se la quita, revelando el cráneo. Freddy es masoquista, le gusta mutilarse, le trae placer. En cada sueño es diferente, aparece otra cara como si no se hubiera mutilado. Se reconstruye solo. Por eso se atreve a dañarse, no tiene consecuencias. El sombrero se le ocurrió a Wes Craven por un borracho que vio de niño por la ventana, además, traía un suéter similar al de Krueger. El guante quería que fuera algo que pudiera hacerse en casa, de hecho, en el intro, esa visión perdura, pues se ve cómo Fred lo está construyendo en su taller. Segundo aspecto, quería que fuera algo a lo que la humanidad le haya temido por años y pensó en cosas punzocortantes: espadas, animales con garras, colmillos... Decidió que tenía que ser algo así, filoso. ¿Por qué guante? Porque la mano simboliza aquello que nos separa en cuanto a destreza de otros animales. Motivación:Freddy Krueger siente placer al aterrorizar a los demás. Por eso sus muertes, a diferencia de otros filmes slasher, no son rápidas. En el mundo de los sueños, lo vemos una y otra vez, puede aparecer en donde él quiera, no hay impedimentos físicos. Sin embargo, Freddy se regocija en ver sufrir a los demás, hacerlos correr de miedo, aterrorizarlos y llevarlos a sus máximas consecuencias.Sí, los quiere matar, pero si puede alargar lo más posible la experiencia y atormentarlos, lo hará, porque eso le da energía.Después, en las secuelas, aprendemos sobre él. Conocido como el “hijo de cien maniáticos”, haciendo referencia a que, por naturaleza, nació malo. Fue adoptado por una familia abusiva y bulleado de niño. Si bien, ya tenía tendencias psicópatas, este tipo de ambientes las amplificaron.Ahora que sus amigos de la escuela son padres, qué mejor forma de castigarlos que asesinando a sus hijos y causarles el peor dolor imaginable. Eso es un ser malvado real, como dirían, “pure evil”. Por eso Freddy funciona tan bien, porque lo vemos en sus diferentes fases (en la vida y en los sueños) accionando con la intención maligna de trastornar al otro, porque puede, porque le causa placer.Quizá la gente diga que las secuelas no están a la altura de la original, pero lo que sí es un hecho, es que construyen en carne y hueso a un personaje redondo, cosa que muchos slashers de horror no logran.Curiosidades: El título contiene la palabra “Elm”, pero nunca se menciona en la película. Wes Craven eligió ese nombre porque era la calle donde vivía cuando era maestro de Universidad, antes de trabajar en la industria del cine. Craven decidió que el asesino no utilizara máscara para diferenciarlo de otras películas como “Halloween”, “Friday the 13th” y “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. Además, quería que su rostro tuviera expresiones para burlarse de sus víctimas. El diseñador David Miller se basó en imágenes reales de personas con quemaduras y el diseño de las marcas se le ocurrieron cuando comía una pizza de pepperoni. Craven evitó que empleara un cuchillo porque era demasiado común y se inspiró en algunas garras de animales para crear el mítico guante con navajas. Elaboraron dos versiones para la película, una con filo para que pudiera cortar objetos y se viera real en los acercamientos y otra sin filo para no lastimar a los actores en las escenas de pelea. Los colores verde y rojo del suéter se deben a un artículo donde se mencionaba que esa combinación era la menos armoniosa para el ojo humano. Hay una escena donde el personaje de Nancy está viendo la película “Evil Dead”, eso fue porque Sam Raimi, años antes, utilizó un póster roto de “The Hill Have Eyes” en dicha película. En “Evil Dead 2”, en algunas escenas, se ve el guante de Freddy dentro de la cabaña. No se conocían personalmente y era una disputa amigable entre ambos directores. Después de la muerte de Craven, Sam Raimi incluyó de nuevo el póster de “The Hills Have Eyes” en la serie “Ash Vs. Evil Dead”, pero esta vez enmarcado y a modo de homenaje. Para la escena de muerte del personaje de Tina, utilizaron un mecanismo giratorio donde todos los muebles estaban clavados en el piso y el camarógrafo amarrado para dar el efecto de que Tina era arrastrada por el techo del cuarto. La actriz Amanda Wyss sufrió de vértigo, se confundía y, al ver la cama en el techo, sentía que se le iba a caer encima. Tuvo que ser ayudada por el mismo Craven para recuperar el equilibrio. Canción:1, 2, Freddy viene por ti,3, 4, cierra tu puerta.5, 6, toma tu crucifijo.7,8, vas a desvelarte.9, 10, nunca duermas.¿Qué te gustó de la película?Me gustó que Freddy fuera contraintuitivo con respecto al género, es decir, en cualquier momento podía estar a un lado de sus víctimas, pero no lo hacía para aterrorizarlas o matarlas, sino porque quería prolongar el sufrimiento.También me gustaron los efectos que hacen referencia a la delgada línea entre el sueño y la realidad. Por ejemplo, las paredes que se flexionaban mostrando a Freddy detrás como si fuera una sábana. Las escaleras que estaban pegajosas. De alguna forma, cuando tienes un mal sueño, cosas extrañas suceden.La mezcla de humor que el villano tiene, pues payasea a propósito, está jugando con su víctima, significa que tiene el control, se puede dar el lujo de eso.¿Qué no te gustó de la película?El final estuvo extraño con la intención de dejar un gancho para la secuela. Parecía ser un sueño y que Freddy apareciera sugerido, es lo más probable.Créditos:Radio Horror es producido por Caro Arriaga y Rael Aguilar.Edición por Matías Beltrando desde Destek Soporte.Música:Closing Theme Hounds of Love por Dan Luscombe (Intro), Insiders por Joe Crotty (Intro), Patchwork por Patchworker f.k.a.
