#142 - "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (1987) with Nicholas Pepin & Laramy Wells

The “Nightmare on Elm Street” series had a reputation in the movie business as sort of a high-rent answer to the "Friday the 13th” saga, and this third entry of the franchise lives up to the billing. It’s slick, with impressive production values, and the acting is well-suited to the material.

This 80s Flick focuses on a teenager experiencing vivid and terrifying nightmares about Freddy Krueger, who eventually finds herself admitted to Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital after a nightmare results in what appears to be a suicide attempt. There, she discovers she isn't alone: several other patients are plagued by the same dream demon.

So grab your No-Doze pills, drink plenty of coffee, and whatever you do…don’t fall asleep as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Nicholas Pepin and Laramy Wells discuss “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” from 1987 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast!

Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

First reference to Hypnocil, a fictional drug that exists only in the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' world.
In the original script, one of the Warriors dreams up a giant Transformers-style robot to fight Freddy. The sequence even made it into the storyboards stage, but budgetary constraints made filming it impossible.
Not in the film itself, but most of the DVD covers and some of the latter VHS covers give Patricia Arquette top billing and the most space on the cover, despite Heather Langenkamp being the real lead actress.
