New Nightmare on Elm Street Documentary In the Works

The same people who brought us His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th are planning an Elm Street documentary called, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

Co-director Andrew Kasch said: “The Nightmare series has long been regarded as the most high-brow and creative of the mega horror franchises, so our goal is to make a film that reflects those qualities. While His Name Was Jason was campy and off-the-wall, this documentary will offer a serious chronological account of the creative process – the hardships and triumphs behind one of Hollywood’s most iconic characters. Above all else, this is not a fluff or promotional piece for the upcoming remake but rather will focus on the original series of films that began with Wes Craven’s 1984 classic.”

The DVD will feature at least four hours of footage including Heather Langencamp’s documentary, I Am Nancy.

Hopefully this one doesn’t turn out to be an online circle jerk like the Friday documentary was. Please do us all a favor and leave out the idiot website owner interviews. They really have nothing new or interesting to offer!

Don’t forget to enter our Elm Street contest, to win the first three issues of Freddy VS. Jason VS. Ash.
