About Freddy's Dead novelization: According to Amazon, the novelization was written by Bob Italia, Wes Craven, Rachel Talalay, in 1992 by Abdo Pub Co . ISBN 1562391615 ... this is a Junior Novelization that is around 64 pages long, but it is still a novelization. There was also a Graphic Novel in 1992 by Andy Mangels ISBN 1565210034. - Antmusic 23:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
In the video game section, there is a link to a flash game. The site linked to is infact a site which steals games from original sources. That particular game originated on newgrounds.com and can be found at http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/81945. There is also an updated version at http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/323239. These games are actually legally hosted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theblinddevil ( talk • contribs) 20:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
Might I suggest a name change? Since the page encompasses more than just the films, my suggestion is following the " Friday the 13th (franchise)" example, and call the page A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise). This is based on the fact that not all of the different mediums have direct continuity with the movies. They may not negate aspects of the films, but they don't really bring them up either. This is even more present when you talk about merchandise, which is simply products associated with the title. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Hypnocil redirects to this page, yet there is no more mention of it in the article. Was this intentional? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.118.19.208 ( talk) 14:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Was wondering would the Saw Series be included in the box office area as the other Horror Fansicses that were recongnized seeing it is also one of the Top Horror movies out there? -- ҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ ॐ 19:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Scream is a 2000 Film series or 90's not sure, was just wondering seeing that there have been series that maybe made more that the older films if they were using the 2007 inflation adjustment of every single horror series that were successful in the box office this far. Also seeing that a New Nightmare on Elm street is on its way(not a prequel) , I don't see why not update the chart compared to other film series.
-- ҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ ॐ 00:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Ah thanks. Anyway I am going to add the Untittled Nightmare film in the Franchise chart though the other parts i am not sure how to put in like the budget and etc. -- ҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ ॐ 18:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I propose we create a List of characters in A Nightmare on Elm Street (similar to to the List of characters in Friday the 13th page) to corale all of these characters--including the ones that have their own page currently--into a centralized location. Though some of the characters have been able to appear in both the films and the comics, they lack the "significant coverage from reliable secondary sources independent of the subject" that WP:NOTE requires for article inclusion. Most of the articles are shear plot details, and would be much better served in one location (as we could cover both film and literature appearances of those characters if it applies). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Over two years ago I made a template for the macroseries created by Freddy vs. Jason. I put it up for peer review and at the time it was too big. Back then there weren't collapsible templates, so yes, it was too big. Now that the collapse functionality is here, I added it. I would like to know what you all think of it before I put it into the main template space. So, here it is for your inspection. Please leave notes on its talk page. Thanks! - LA @ 07:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
in part one at the very end of the movie nacy is taken away in a car possesed by freddy, but somehow she appears in part three as well. what id like to know is how she mannaged to survive freddy a second time. i cant find any mention of this on here. can someone clear this up for me?
Wikipedia talk pages are not forums. This isn't the place to discuss such things. Might I suggest using IMDb's forums, as they generally have many users who are quick to answer things of this nature. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
There are a lot of wild rumours flying around that state Billy Bob Thornton has been cast as Freddy in the remake, but I fear that this is a case of Chinese whispers as Robert Englund just stated that Thornton would be a good choice, but NOT that he has been specifically cast. magnius ( talk) 14:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
PROBLEM "Brad Fuller and Andrew Form the website ShockTillYouDrop.com that they hoped to begin shooting the film as early as Spring of 2009" Shouldnt this instead be "Brad Fuller and Andrew Form ANNOUNCED VIA the website ShockTillYouDrop.com that they hoped to begin shooting the film as early as Spring of 2009"
As is "Andrew Form the website" makes no since, what about the website and Andrew Form? I have no ideal what this is trying to say?

I seriously think it's time that we give the reboot it's own article. Time has passed, the majority of the cast has been confirmed, and shooting has been going on since May I believe. Any thoughts? -- Cartoon Boy ( talk) 9:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, even if the Wikipedia could write about stolen things, spoiling the plot would be a hideous thing to do, and the Wikipedia doesn't allow spoiler notices. Anyway, feel free to use
my sandbox I have created for the movie. Yes, updates will need to be simultaneous on the future page, then when it gets to big, we'll move the page to just, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 film) and then we'll trim down the future franchise section a little bit a provide a "see main page, ...." link. Everyone on board? Once again, we can use
this sandbox. Ooh, I'm so excited!

What do you mean "not discussed in detail", do you mean the opening scene or....? Keep in mind, the image is currently under a fair-use rationale for this article and the image currently isn't being used. How about we overwrite the photo with a photo from the middle of the game? • S • C • A • R • C • E • 21:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
No, we couldn't have ten paragraphs, in my opinion if the paragraph is worth keeping it should be somehow collapsed into another section unless it's totally necessary. I created an example here with dummy text comparing ten paragraphs to normal section (in my opinion). You can see how much cleaner it looks have just a couple of thick paragraphs. • S • C • A • R • C • E • 00:26, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed a few Nightmare-related articles refer to a novel entitled The Nightmares on Elm Street: Freddy Krueger's Seven Sweetest Dreams (1991). I am not familiar with the text, but wonder if it warrants a short article. There appears to be articles related to the comics related to the franchise. Thanks. Surv1v4l1st ( Talk| Contribs) 20:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Because the franchises are also "iconic", that makes it relevant to add the grosses of all of them? This just looks like an attempt to bulk up the box office section. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 11:56, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
How about a potential infobox? Maybe something like a discography infobox (Example: Shakira discography). Like the point of an infobox, it should list the basics at a glance. Also, I feel the photo is way to big, same going for the Friday the 13th franchise photo • S • C • A • R • C • E • 03:49, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
I tried to restructure the page [4] to give a clearer overview of the progression of the films, much like the Batman in film or Superman (film series) page, but my edits were reverted. I feel that the main problem is that giving an overview of the plot of 7-8 movies with no break as the first section leaves the reader a little bewildered, and it is difficult to find one's place. The point of breaking it down gives a clearer path and structure for the reader to follow. It would be nice to see a clear chronology and I felt that section breaking was most appropriate. What do others think? Rob Sinden ( talk) 13:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
We're goning to end up having the same argument on two pages here - may I suggest debate is centralised at Talk:Halloween (franchise)#Layout. Rob Sinden ( talk) 14:36, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No move. Concerns about page views and consistency with similar articles are noted, but we have a solid consensus that in this case, the current setup works. Cúchullain t/ c 19:22, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
– Stats for the franchise ( last 90 days) are the same as the 2010 film ( last 90 days). The 1984 film is the current "primary topic" and seemingly more popular. However, I'm not convinced that the significance of 1984 film is greater than the franchise itself, the remake, or even Part 2 (1985) that has gay subtext. Sure, it has Johnny Depp, and it is the first film of Freddy Kreuger film serial. But WP:DABCONCEPT would make the franchise the primary topic, unless the power of popularity/statistics overcomes general concept. I would propose creation of the disambiguation page, but WP:DABCONCEPT discourages it as usual. Google's first page results of the whole title show (excluding Wikipedia) the franchise, the 1984 film, the remake, first four films, etc. Bing results are similar, as well. As for popularity, I'm sure that the stats for the first film include those wanting to read the franchise or the remake, and that the stats' accuracy could be dubious.
