Horror Anniversaries: The Best Moments From NOES’ ‘Dream Warriors’
Let’s Get High!
Oh my poor Taryn. Next to Phillip, she really got the most fucked up death in this sequel. Miss beautiful and bad gave Freddy her best shot, and while I think she makes for a worthy foe against theĀ “burnt-faced pussy”, she ends up being a sacrifice for the greater cause on the path to defeat Freddy.
I Am the Wizard Master!
I almost feel like our brave little toaster Will never had a chance here. Because I feel like this scene could have been so much more, I almost didn’t include it. However, that “Wizard Master” line gets me every time. And no matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, after that line I always feel like there’s a glimmer of hope for Will to overcome his dream bully. Alas, it never changes.
You Should Listen to Your Mother!
Deja vu all over again with a twist when Kristen, in the middle of transporting everyone into the dream world, ends up back where we started at the beginning of the film. Thinking everything up until that point was maybe some weird dream all along, Kristen gets comfortable and then this shit turns into kung fu warriors.
All of Kincaid’s Insults
There really was no other character here, or in the entire franchise quite like Roland Kincaid. This kid had balls of steel and a feisty mouth to back it up. Probably the only teen with enough cajones to call Krueger a puss-ayyy. That alone gets a special spot here on this moments list.
Bone Daddy Freddy
I’ll admit, this scene scared the crap out of me as a kid. Freddy’s remains spring to life as Neil and Nancy’s father attempt to put an end to the shenanigans once and for all. I like to refer to this clip as the very first slasher style Celebrity Deathmatch given the animation of the Krueger skeleton. Slightly cheesy, but awesome all the same.
You Found Your Dream Power, Man!
Joey, on the heels of getting rescued by his fellow Dream Warriors, finds himself in a pickle once more as Freddy makes himself known and traps the squad in a hallway of mirrors. As Krueger begins to pull each of his friends to the other side, Joey the mute, pulls his dream power, that is unknown up until this point, out of his ass and wouldn’t you know it? His power is his voice. Fantastic.
Nancy, the Hero
Oh man, this gets me every time. Our heroine Nancy gets duped by Krueger as he plays on the strained relationship between her and her dad. Nasty trick Freddy. Nasty indeed. However, in what I like to place as one of the saddest deaths in horror movies, Nancy gathers what little life she has left and does away with Krueger once and for all with the help from Neil far away still at the dump site. Some people regard this ending as being too religious or what not. I say, don’t look that far in to it. Enjoy it for what it is. A Freddy Krueger movie with a plausible way to dispose of his soul.
Well there you have it. So let’s hear from you. Do you have a favorite moment from Dream WarriorsĀ not listed here? Which character from the film do YOU most connect with? I’d love to hear so drop us a comment below and discuss! Happy National Dream Warrior Day!

Russell Crowe To Star in Another Exorcism Movie & It’s Not a Sequel
Maybe it’s because The Exorcist just celebrated its 50th-anniversary last year, or maybe it’s because aging Academy Award-winning actors aren’t too proud to take on obscure roles, but Russell Crowe is visiting the Devil once again in yet another possession film. And it’s not related to his last one, The Pope’s Exorcist.
According to Collider, the film titled The Exorcism was originally going to be released under the name The Georgetown Project. Rights for its North American release were once in the hands of Miramax but then went to Vertical Entertainment. It will release on June 7 in theaters then head over to Shudder for subscribers.
Crowe will also star in this year’s upcoming Kraven the Hunter which is set to drop in theaters on August 30.
As for The Exorcism, Collider provides us with what it’s about:
“The film centers around actor Anthony Miller (Crowe), whose troubles come to the forefront as he shoots a supernatural horror movie. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) has to figure out whether he’s lapsing into his past addictions, or if something even more horrific is occurring. “

New F-Bomb Laden ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Trailer: Bloody Buddy Movie
Deadpool & Wolverine might be the buddy movie of the decade. The two heterodox superheroes are back in the latest trailer for the summer blockbuster, this time with more f-bombs than a gangster film.
This time the focus is on Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman. The adamantium-infused X-Man is having a bit of a pity party when Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) arrives on the scene who then tries to convince him to team up for selfish reasons. The result is a profanity-filled trailer with a Strange surprise at the end.
Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. It comes out on July 26. Here is the latest trailer, and we suggest if you are at work and your space isn’t private, you might want to put in headphones.

Original Blair Witch Cast Ask Lionsgate for Retroactive Residuals in Light of New Film
Jason Blum is planning to reboot The Blair Witch Project for the second time. That’s a fairly large task considering none of the reboots or sequels have managed to capture the magic of the 1999 film that brought found footage into the mainstream.
This idea has not been lost on the original Blair Witch cast, who has recently reached out to Lionsgate to ask for what they feel is fair compensation for their role in the pivotal film. Lionsgate gained access to The Blair Witch Project in 2003 when they purchased Artisan Entertainment.
However, Artisan Entertainment was an independent studio before its purchase, meaning the actors were not part of SAG-AFTRA. As a result, the cast are not entitled to the same residuals from the project as actors in other major films. The cast doesn’t feel that the studio should be able to continue to profit off of their hard work and likenesses without fair compensation.
Their most recent request asks for āmeaningful consultation on any future āBlair Witchā reboot, sequel, prequel, toy, game, ride, escape room, etc., in which one could reasonably assume that Heather, Michael & Joshās names and/or likenesses will be associated for promotional purposes in the public sphere.ā
At this time, Lionsgate has not offered any comment about this issue.
The full statement made by the cast can be found below.
OUR ASKS OF LIONSGATE (From Heather, Michael & Josh, stars of āThe Blair Witch Projectā):
1. Retroactive + future residual payments to Heather, Michael and Josh for acting services rendered in the original BWP, equivalent to the sum that wouldāve been allotted through SAG-AFTRA, had we had proper union or legal representation when the film was made.
2. Meaningful consultation on any future Blair Witch reboot, sequel, prequel, toy, game, ride, escape room, etcā¦, in which one could reasonably assume that Heather, Michael & Joshās names and/or likenesses will be associated for promotional purposes in the public sphere.
Note: Our film has now been rebooted twice, both times were a disappointment from a fan/box office/critical perspective. Neither of these films were made with significant creative input from the original team. As the insiders who created the Blair Witch and have been listening to what fans love & want for 25 years, weāre your single greatest, yet thus-far un-utilized secret-weapon!
3. āThe Blair Witch Grantā: A 60k grant (the budget of our original movie), paid out yearly by Lionsgate, to an unknown/aspiring genre filmmaker to assist in making theirfirst feature film. This is a GRANT, not a development fund, hence Lionsgate will not own any of the underlying rights to the project.
A PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTORS & PRODUCERS OF āTHE BLAIR WITCH PROJECTā:
As we near the 25th anniversary of The Blair Witch Project, our pride in the storyworld we created and the film we produced is reaffirmed by the recent announcement of a reboot by horror icons Jason Blum and James Wan.
While we, the original filmmakers, respect Lionsgateās right to monetize the intellectual property as it sees fit, we must highlight the significant contributions of the original cast ā Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Mike Williams. As the literal faces of what has become a franchise, their likenesses, voices, and real names are inseparably tied to The Blair Witch Project. Their unique contributions not only defined the filmās authenticity but continue to resonate with audiences around the world.
We celebrate our filmās legacy, and equally, we believe the actors deserve to be celebrated for their enduring association with the franchise.
Sincerely, Eduardo Sanchez, Dan Myrick, Gregg Hale, Robin Cowie, and Michael Monello
