:59:00
It's old. It's very old.
:59:02
It's existed in different forms
in different times.
:59:06
The only thing that stays
the same is What it lives for.
:59:09
What is that?
:59:11
The murder of innocents.
:59:13
This is still a script
We're talking about, right, Wes?
:59:18
I sort of think of it
as a nightmare in progress.
:59:22
In this nightmare in progress...
:59:24
does this thing
have any Weaknesses?
:59:26
It can be captured sometimes.
:59:28
Captured? HoW?
:59:30
By storytellers, of all things.
:59:33
Every so often, they imagine
a story good enough...
:59:36
to sort of catch its essence.
:59:38
Then, for a While,
it's held prisoner in the story.
:59:41
- Like the genie in the bottle.
- Exactly.
:59:45
But the problem comes
When the story dies.
:59:47
And that can happen
in a lot of Ways.
:59:49
It can get too familiar...
:59:50
or somebody Waters it doWn
to make it an easier sell...
:59:53
or maybe it's so upsetting
that it's banned outright.
:59:58
HoWever it happens,
When the story dies...
1:00:00
the evil is set free.
1:00:02
y ou're saying Freddy
is this ancient thing?
1:00:06
Right. The current version.
1:00:09
And for ten years, he's been
held captive as Freddy...
1:00:12
in the "Nightmare on Elm Street"
series, but...
1:00:15
noW that the films have ended,
the genie's out of the bottle.
1:00:20
That's What the nightmares
are telling me and I'm Writing.
1:00:23
If Freddy's loose in
your script, Where's he going?
1:00:28
Another age? Another form?
1:00:31
No, that's not What
the dreams have him doing.
1:00:34
What is he doing?
1:00:36
He's sort of gotten used
to being Freddy noW...
1:00:39
and he likes
our time and space...
1:00:41
so he's decided to cross over
out of films into our reality.
1:00:50
Isn't there somebody
Who can stop him?
1:00:52
Actually there is a person
in the dream...
1:00:55
sort of a gatekeeper,
so to speak.
1:00:58
Somebody Freddy has to get by...
