Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy DVD Art

WOW, I got lucky today!

I was looking through my Facebook feed and noticed Chris Spurgin, who you may know from our short film In the Deathroom, had become a fan of this epic documentary. Why is that lucky? I probably would have never had seen it if he hadn’t! This doc looks absolutely amazing! OK, before I start rambling here are some links. You can check out the official page HERE, Facebook page HERE and Twitter page HERE. Whew.

Now, as some of you may know and most of you probably don’t know, I’m a HUGE Nightmare on Elm Street fan. I have been since I was 8 years old. I was that odd kid who had movie posters on my wall instead of athletes and girls. Well, I lied. I did have one of Alyssa Milano wearing a sweater and lifting it to show her stomach. I’m sure the fellas my age know which one I’m talking about. I think at one point I had at least 4 or 5 posters of Freddy on my wall at one time. My room was small so “covered” would be a good word to use. I don’t think my parents were worried about it, unless they were just too afraid to ask!

Why such the obsession with Freddy? He’s the ULTIMATE bogeyman that’s why! He doesn’t slowly stalk you through the woods. He doesn’t lure you to his old house and crash through the closet door to get you. Freddy Krueger waits for you in your freaking dreams! How can you escape that? You can’t, everyone has to sleep some time. That’s why he’s such a bad-ass, well, that and The Glove. Enough of my fanboy banter though, on to the DVD!

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy is co-directed by Daniel Farrands and Andrew Kasch who both have impressive resumes when it comes to working on horror documentaries and Special Edition DVD’s. Looking at the list just reassured me that this doc is getting the love it deserves. This is a 2-disc set with 4 HOURS of goodies. Here is a quick list pulled from their site:

DISC 1: Feature Presentation

DISC 2: Bonus Features

It’s absolutely insane the amount of work that has gone into this doc. When you visit their site go to the Cast link and you’ll get an idea. They have interviews with almost EVERYONE ever involved in the franchise right down to Stacey Alden who played Nurse Marcie in Dream Warriors. Who could forget her! Hell, they even talk with Dokken!

I guess all I’m really saying here is that if you’re even the slightest fan of these movies, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy is a must have. Visit their website to keep up-to-date on the DVD pre-sale date for chances to win contests and givaways and remember…don’t…fall…ASLEEP!
