Wes Craven's New Nightmare
1994 film by Wes Craven · Released 1994
Wes Craven's New Nightmare (also known simply as New Nightmare) is a 1994 American meta supernatural horror film written and directed by Wes Craven, creator of 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street. It is a meta-sequel to Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) and the seventh installment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, portraying Freddy Krueger as a fictional movie villain who invades the real world and haunts the cast and crew involved in the making of the films about him. In the film, Freddy is depicted as closer to what Craven originally intended, being much more menacing and much less comical, with an updated attire and appearance. The film stars Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, Miko Hughes, and John Saxon.
