[edit] Freddy's Dead novelization

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)

[edit] Stolen Game

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).

[edit] Name change

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)

No objection, so it's moved. I'll go through the linked pages to make the corrections there.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hypnocil

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)

I would redirect it to Part 3 and/or Freddy vs. Jason. It probably doesn't need a redirection to begin with. It should probably just be deleted.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Box Office

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? --^҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ _ॐ 19:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, because it wasn't part of the initial comparision. Also, SAW has three films that would have been released after the revenues for these were calculated based on the 2005 inflation. It could represent a scewed view of where the films fall. I mean, there are other horror franchises, but these were the most popular ones of the 80s. I think maybe that should be clarified, so that we don't run into future problems. Maybe state that these films, which spand 3 decades primarily (70s - 90s). Other than that, I did find a 2007 inflation adjuster, so I could adjust everyone for 2007 and reorganize that way. It'll just take some time.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:50, 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.

Well, I just calculated SAW's grosses for all 4 films (and that is a 2004-2007 franchise), and they come in at $285,763,829. That would put them just in front of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which is only adjusted for 2005, and not 2007).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 00:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I just calculated the 2008 inflation for Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the total comes to $302,175,983.22. Adjust SAW leads to a total of $306,039,167.22; that's barely in front of Texas Chainsaw. Plus, if you look at number of theaters. I mean, we could list it, but I'm working off a stupid laptop right now (desktop problems) so it's a little difficult for me to do any serious editing to clean up the box office section with the 2008 adjusted numbers. If you give me some time I will do it (along with the Friday the 13th (franchise) section of the same information).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 00:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

My classes were canceled this morning, so I took the liberty of adding Saw into the mix, and adjusting everyone to the 2008 numbers.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:23, 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. --^҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ _ॐ 18:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cast

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)

[edit] Freddy and Jason: A new template Part 2

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)

[edit] I realy dont understand this about part 1 in realtion to part 3

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)
