Child's Fear of Horror Film Icon
Dr. Christine Heffner
Your son, apparently, is terrified of a man. Someone he thinks is going to come out of his bed. One of the nurses heard him talking in his sleep. You have any idea who that man might be, Mrs. Langenkamp?
Heather Langenkamp
I meant to bring him his dinosaur, Rex. Rex keeps Freddy from...
Dr. Christine Heffner
The man from your films? Freddy Krueger with the claws? Is that who he's afraid of? You have let your child see your films, haven't you?
Heather Langenkamp
Every kid knows about Freddy. He's like Santa Claus or King Kong.
Dr. Christine Heffner
I see. Well. Interesting talking to you, Ms. Langenkamp. I hope you understand, my concerns are simply for the welfare of your son.

Freddy's Transition from Film to Reality
Heather Langenkamp
If Freddy's loose, I mean, in your script, where's he going to go? Another age? Another form?
Wes Craven
That's not what the dreams say he's doing.
Heather Langenkamp
Then what is he doing?
Wes Craven
Well, see, he's gotten used to being Freddy now. And kinda likes it here in our time and space, too. So...he's trying to cross over, from film into our reality.
Heather Langenkamp
Isn't there anyone that can stop him?
Wes Craven
Interestingly enough, in the dreams there is one person. A gatekeeper, so to speak. Someone Freddy's got to get by before he can enter our world. It's you, Heather.
[looks at her]
Heather Langenkamp
Me? Why me?
Wes Craven
Dramatically speaking it makes perfect sense. You played Nancy, after all, the first to humiliate and defeat him.
Heather Langenkamp
That was Nancy, not me!
Wes Craven
But it was you that gave Nancy her strength. So to get out he has to come through you. And it's inevitable that he'll hit you at your most vulnerable points...The way to stop him is to make another movie. And I swear to you I'll stay at my computer and keep writing until I finish the script. But when that time comes...You're gonna have to make a choice.
Heather Langenkamp
Choice? What kind of choice?
Wes Craven
Whether or not you will be willing to play Nancy one last time.

[claws his hand; Heather gives an uneasy smile]
Heather Langenkamp
I'm hardly a star.
Limo Driver
What, are you kidding? I love your stuff. The first was the best. Where the girlfriend's cut open and dragged across the ceiling. It was awesome. And when all that blood comes ouf your boyfriend's bed? I thought I'd shit. But they never should've killed off Freddy.

Nightmares and Unwelcome Attention
Robert Englund
Heather? You doing okay?
Heather Langenkamp
Holding my own. You know that guy who was calling me all the time? He's started again. He's been putting stuff in my mail.

Exploring Family History and Mental Health
Dr. Christine Heffner
Ms. Langenkamp, has...there been any use of recreational drugs in your family? Or any history of mental disturbance?
Heather Langenkamp
What the hell are you asking?
Dr. Christine Heffner
Please don't take this wrong. But if there was, there's a good chance Dylan could be suffering from something passed down to him. Have you been suffering from any delusional events, Ms. Langenkamp? This man from your films...Freddy Krueger... Have you been seeing him?
Heather Langenkamp
No!
Dr. Christine Heffner
There are drugs and treatments, Ms. Langenkamp. We could place Dylan in foster care for a short while. Run some tests on you...
Heather Langenkamp
I want my kid out of here now!
Dr. Christine Heffner
Very well. As soon as we gather the appropriate papers...
Heather Langenkamp
You don't understand. If Dylan falls asleep, then...

The Nature of the Nightmares Explained
Heather Langenkamp
Well at least tell me what it's about so far.
Wes Craven
I can tell you what the nightmares are about. They're about this...entity. Whatever you want to call it. It's old, very old, and it's taken different forms in different times. The only thing that stays the same about it is what it lives for.
Heather Langenkamp
What's that?
Wes Craven
Killing innocence, one way or the other.
Heather Langenkamp
This is still a script we're talking about, right?
Wes Craven
I think of it as sort of a nightmare in progress.
Heather Langenkamp
Then, in this nightmare in progress, does this thing have any weaknesses?
Wes Craven
It can be captured, sometimes.
Heather Langenkamp
Captured? How?
Wes Craven
By storytellers, of all things. Every so often, they imagine a story good enough to catch its essence. Then it's held prisoner for a while. In the story.
Heather Langenkamp
Like the Genie in the bottle.
Wes Craven
Exactly. The problem comes when the story dies. It happens a lot of different ways, the story gets too familiar, or too watered down by people trying to make it easier to sell, or it's labeled a threat to society and just plain banned. However it happens, when the story dies, the evil is set free.
[pause]
Heather Langenkamp
You saying Freddy's this ancient thing?
Wes Craven
Current version. For ten years he's been imprisoned as Freddy by the story of Nightmare on Elm Street. But now that the films have stopped - The genie's out of the bottle, Heather, that's what the nightmares are about. That's what I'm writing.
