NECA’s Next “Ultimate Freddy” is From ‘Dream Warriors’!
NECA has just announced that their next entry in the “Ultimate Freddy” line will be from none other than A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. From the pictures they tweeted out, which you can see below, the set will come with a fully articulated Freddy Krueger figure, various accessories, as well as the unfinished doll house that Kristen was building in the beginning of the film AND, what I consider to be the ultimate badass offering, Freddy as the marionette puppet! The set will be coming this fall.
In the 1987 sequel, “Survivors of undead serial killer Freddy Krueger – who stalks his victims in their dreams – learn to take control of their own dreams in order to fight back.”
Directed by Chuck Russell and starring Heather Langenkamp (as Nancy), Robert Englund, Patricia Arquette, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastmen, and Laurence “Larry” Fishburne, Dream Warriors is considered by many to be the strongest sequel and some even argue the best Nightmare film in the series.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
