'''''I Am Nancy''''' (2011)
 
Heather Langenkamp takes [[Wes Craven]]'s [[Self -Referential Humor|New Nightmare]] to the [[Cash Cow Franchise|next logical step]] by making a [[Genre Shift|comedic documentary]] [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1536421/ about herself and her character Nancy].
 
----
Line 288:
* [[Reality Warper]]: Freddy's a consummate reality warper in the dream world, changing the setting, the laws of physics and his own nature at will. He can also subtly influence waking reality, and becomes better at it throughout the sequels.
* [[Recycled: The Series]]: The aforementioned ''[[Freddys Nightmares]]''.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: In ''Freddy's Revenge''.
* [[Rubber Man]]: Stretching limbs are one of many Freddy's powers.
* [[Ruins for Ruins Sake]]: End of ''New Nightmare''.
Line 295:
* [[Scream Discretion Shot]]: Used effectively in the remake as, {{spoiler|while Jesse's technically flatlined after being killed by Freddy, Freddy informs him in his continuing dream that the brain can survive up to seven minutes after heart failure, and they've still got six minutes to play}}. The scene cuts back to reality, with only his offscreen screams implying what's happening next.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Jesse in the second film.
* [[Sequel Hook]] / [[The End or- Or Is It?]]: Every film but ''Freddy's Dead'' and ''New Nightmare''.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Robert Englund and his wife's apparent course of action in ''New Nightmare''.
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: In ''New Nightmare'', Freddy Kreuger himself, but he's not really "Freddy" so much as taking on the form of Freddy, there needs to be a script made in order to contain this evil.
Line 302:
* [[Serial Killer]]: Freddy Krueger, both in life (as the Springwood Slasher) and the afterlife.
* [[Series Fauxnale]]: ''Freddy's Dead'', arguably. It depends whether you accept ''Freddy Vs. Jason'' as a sequel to that film, or an interquel set earlier in the series (''New Nightmare'' doesn't count, since it's set in the real world rather than the ''NOES'' universe).
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** In the 2010 remake, [[Pulp Fiction|waking up an unconscious woman by jabbing an adrenaline-filled needle straight down between her breasts.]]
** The bar Nancy's father hangs out in ''Dream Warriors'' is called [[Little Nemo|Little Nemo's]].
Line 329:
* [[Supernatural Proof Father]]: Donald Thompson and Ken Walsh.
* [[Take That]]: Freddy is named after a bully that tormented Wes Craven as a kid.
* [["Take That!" Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Freddy's daughter}} does this after {{spoiler|stuffing a pipe bomb in his gut at the end of ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare''.}}
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: Used many times throughout the series (and ''Freddy VS Jason''), mainly by Freddy.
** Combined with an [[Ironic Echo]] at the climax of the remake.
Line 343:
* [[Trophy Room]]: Shown briefly in ''Freddy's Dead'' flashbacks. It was filled with, among other things, variant gloves, pictures of victims, Springwood Slasher-related newspaper clippings and toys presumably belonging to victims.
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: Carlos, who is Hispanic and deaf, from ''Freddy's Dead''.
* [[Unhand Them, Villain!]]: Happens in ''Dream Warriors'', when Nancy, Kristen and Kincaid discover Freddy has Joey suspended over a flaming pit.
* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]: Dan's death in ''The Dream Child''.
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Wes Craven was inspired to make the film after reading stories about teenagers that mysteriously died in their sleep.
Line 351:
* [[Wasted Song]]: The music played during the scene were Alice [[Lock and Load Montage|prepares]] for Freddy is isn't the soundtrack for the movie's score.
* [[Welcome to The Real World]]: ''New Nightmare'' did this.
* [[Wham! Line]]: In ''Freddy's Dead''
