A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

On the VHS release, the music video for Dokken's "Dream Warriors" appeared after the credits. The video contains many scenes from the movie and ends when the band vanquishes Freddy, causing him to wake up from his "nightmare", and ask, "Who were those guys?"

The Freddy glove that was stolen from the set of this film was found in another movie: it was hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II (1987), released the same year. It was part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. See The Hills Have Eyes (1977), The Evil Dead (1981), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and Evil Dead II (1987) for more.

Ken Sagoes stated in an interview he really didn't want to audition for the role of Kincaid, but his agent talked him into going. On the day of the audition, he walked in heavy rain to catch a bus to the location. He showed up completely drenched and had to sit and wait for a few hours, due to the auditions running late. When it was his turn, Director Chuck Russell told him, "Do whatever you want to do". Sagoes was so frustrated and mad about the whole ordeal that he yelled "FUCK YOU!", and then proceeded to scream and curse out Russell. Russell immediately hired him.

Robert Englund admits that he knew Patricia Arquette would go on to be a big star one day. He also explains how all of the guys on the set were head over heels in love with her. Between takes, some of them would even go to Englund to get his advice on whether or not he thought they had a chance with her and should ask her out.

Wes Craven's original premise of the film involved Freddy invading the real world and haunting the actors and crew responsible for the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films. Which was inspired by Return to Horror High (1987) which was another meta-horror movie at the time. However, this idea was rejected by the studio for being too ambitious, though Craven later used it for New Nightmare (1994).
