[Video] Watch Dokken Perform the ‘Dream Warriors’ Theme Live!
I was there. And it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of fan favorite sequel A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and we celebrated this past weekend with a truly awesome event in Philadelphia. As we had been hyping for a couple weeks, Bloody Disgusting teamed with Wizard World for the first ever Horror Fest in Philly, which was highlighted by a Saturday night showing of Dream Warriors at Underground Arts that featured LIVE commentary from director Chuck Russell, star Heather Langenkamp, and even The Monster Squad stars Andre Gower and Ryan Lambert.
The movie was followed by a live, acoustic performance from the legendary Don Dokken… and yes, he of course played the iconic Dream Warriors theme song!
I was standing off to the right side of the stage for the entire performance, and as a longtime Dream Warriors fan, it was an experience I’ll never forget. I’ve been to so many conventions and horror events over the years that I can’t help but be a little jaded, but seeing Dokken playing the Dream Warriors theme live was truly special. Dokken may not be able to hit those high notes quite like he did back in the ’80s, but his acoustic spin on the classic song proved he’s damn sure still got it.
If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch the live performance below!
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
