[Toy Fair ’17] NECA Just Made a Replica ‘Dream Warriors’ Freddy Puppet
The most beloved Elm Street sequel turns 30 this month.
Who doesn’t love A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors? It’s one of the best horror sequels of all time, and at least according to the large majority of fans, it’s the very best sequel the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has to offer. In one of the most memorable scenes, Freddy takes the form of a puppet to kill young Phillip… now, 30 years later, you can own that puppet!
Just unveiled at Toy Fair was NECA’s Dream Warriors Freddy puppet prop replica, set for release in the second quarter of this year. The screen-accurate replica is the same size as the puppet seen in the film, and going one step further, the head and hands were cast from the original mold. So yes, this is basically an exact replica of the prop that you can display in your own home.
You’re too good to us, NECA. Truly.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
