[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.

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.
