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!

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the SĆ©bastien VaniÄek upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.ā
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abramsā Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turowās 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
