THN: Sequel It!: Nightmare on Elm Street

The votes were set, I somehow thought this was inevitable though. Seems the next sequel it! people wanted to see was NoES. I think I know where I need to go with this one, in terms of casting it's a hard one, un like Ft13TH there's not a lot of survivors from past films in this franchise.
Where to start it off too, do i continue from Freddy's dead or new nightmare?
As with FvJ I am keeping that one a separate entity from this series, like a side step in you will. Who knows I may well do a sequel it! to FvJ one day (I think that's also inevitable).

Right so I think I've got ideas, this will be set after new nightmare, but in a psuedo twist it'll be a sequel to part 6 too, it'll sequel BOTH of them one as a film within a film I think. something to do with daydreaming, Freddy gets powerful enough to even invade simple thoughts.

Nightmare on Elm Street 8: Never Sleep Again

Cast:

Heather Langenkamp as Nancy/herself
Robert Englund as Freddy/Himself
Lisa Wilcox as Alice/Herself
Other people as Other people

Synopsis:
So we open like many Nightmare films with a female star staring at the Elm Street house in puzzled wonderment while the little girls in white dresses skip rope on the grassy yard. The girl walks into the house where all the usual stuff happens.
She follows screeching noises down into the basement, down there are rows of gurneys small children's bodies covered apart from their black shoe covered feet stick out out of the bottom of coverings.
we see the clawed glove screech along the pipes followed by the raw laughter of Freddy. She is stalked screaming running down the usual piped hallways with steam jets etc. Freddy seems to be able to cut her off every direction she turns.
Then she is caught by him only to have the knifed glove thrust into her stomach killing her. In the real world the girl who was in school stands up to the horror of everyone spraying blood around the classroom.

The screen turns a little blurry here then pulls out to a cinema room, we see the whole audience who are in fact watching a preview to a new movie. We focus in on a group of friends watching the film. One asks another what was the name of this film again?
One laughs being poked another, "The Springwood slasher"
"Oh this is the one based on that killer from years ago"
"Yeah then a bunch of parents roasted the guy and he supposedly came back to haunt their dreams"
"OOOOOH OOOH OH" shouts another forming a spooky noise.
A few other people turn frowning in the audience.
Two of the stars Robert England and Heather Langenkamp are doing a press release in a bookshop down from here next week before the main showing.
"Who is who in the film?"
"Heather plays the main girl Nancy's mother"
"Yeah and Robert plays the Springwood slasher Freddy"
"Didn't she play some mother in a film similar to this a few years back"
"Oh yeah that new nightmare with the demon invading dreams"
"It was bad"
All the while we hear familiar voices coming from the screen. The last girl seems weird as the rest of the cinema seems to drown out and warp for her, becoming totally empty. She hears familiar laughing but the screen has gone blank, frowning she looks around shivering. walking down the steps to the entrance the doors suddenly burst open to show us only a back-lit dark shadow in the doorway.
"You'll all remember" it says menacing then flicks it's clawed hand in a scissor like fashion.
The girl Tina awakes suddenly.
"The film that boring Tina?" A boy remarks.
"Shut up Tod, i had a late night" She scold him.
"Certainly wasn't with me!" the rest of them 'ooooh' in response.
We see from the screen that comes back into clear view, it almost seems like the Freddy on the screen is watching them. Then they all turn back to watch the rest of the movie that moves on once they do, then the scene fades to black.

Now throughout the week in the film the teens will each dream encounter Freddy who is not strong enough to kill them yet. as the film is about to open wide spread they each say to each other they believe the the film opening will give him all the power he needs to break through into their dreams and kill them.
They go to see Heather and Robert before the showing to try and get them to halt the release of the film. Heather and Robert strangely believe them but do not think they have time to prevent the showing. Heather remarks it feels like all this happened before, Robert says the character he played felt like it had a strange power. Tina decides to run to the premier to at least get it to stop there.

Unfortunately the showing is already on when she rushes into the screen to tell everybody to leave time slows down, the screen takes on a fuzzy dream like quality. Freddy on the screen looks down at Tina, his features burning away to leave a heavily burnt face.
"Ah back in the prime time bitch, your too late!"
Krueger reaches a massive arm out of the screen, the audience applaud Tina see's their faces are all blank as they clap. a massive finger blade pierces her stomach. She coughs up blood.
The others reach the movie theater as Tina burst out the doors cradling her belly.
"It's too late" She says through blood stained lips, then dies.

The rest of the movie the other teens, Robert and heather stage a coup of the film and try to review bomb it and slander it as bad to decrease Freddy's power. One by one they are picked off, until the news hits that copycat kills have been happening around the country. Freddy is so powerful that even if you let thought wander into daydream territory he can try to get you there too and does with one of the teens.
Heather and Robert are called to do an interview where they will decide weather to ban the film the or not, they realise this is the only the chance they have left and have to keep them alive to debate that the film should.

In his changing room, Robert is attacked by Freddy but not killed instead he locks Robert away in his own mind and takes over his body.
I'm not sure how it would go from here other than Robert trying to kill Heather on live TV, this is in fact the catalyst to banning the film though, He loses control over Roberts body but he is in a forever coma locked away.

Ending wise we see the remaining Teens and Heather over a copy of the film, they say it's ended for them now but films like this always gather a cult following if that fan base ever gets big enough again may be Freddy would come back.
After credits role we see Robert in a hospital bed, he smiles with Freddy's laugh echoing out in his dreams.
