Fan Trailer Imagines ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ as a New Netflix Series
Especially in the wake of New Line experiencing record-breaking success with Andy Muschietti’s IT, it would seem that the biggest no-brainer project on the horror scene is a new take on the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It’s been seven years since the dreadful remake failed to revitalize the series, and we are so ready for Freddy.
Unfortunately, we haven’t yet heard a single peep about the return of Freddy Krueger, which is making us wonder how much longer we’re going to have to wait. And even if Freddy does soon come back, what form will the new iteration of the franchise take? Will it be another remake of Wes Craven’s classic? How about a TV series?
(Sadly, one thing is for certain: Robert Englund won’t be back.)
YouTuber José Mellinas got tired of waiting for New Line to resurrect Freddy, so he just cut together a faux trailer that imagines the Elm Street franchise as a brand spankin’ new Netflix series. Using footage from films including the forthcoming New Mutants, Mellinas makes a pretty good case for Elm Street slashing up the small screen.
We’d love to see it!
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
