Novel of Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Ten
years ago, legendary horror director Wes
Craven created Freddy Krueger, one of the
screen's most unforgettable monsters. Now
actress Heather Langenkamp is about to return
to her role of "Nancy," Freddy's
first and greatest foe, in the newest and most
ambitious "Nightmare" movie yet.
But the line between fiction and reality
becomes terrifyingly blurred, as Heather
begins to have horrible dreams while
mysterious accidents threaten those around
her. As the ultimate "Freddy" movie
rushes into production, the cast and crew find
themselves stalked as though Freddy himself
had escaped from the movies into real life.
But Freddy Krueger is just a fictional
character... or is he? |

| Al was
sprawled out on top of the bed, half covered
by just a sheet. His body was wet with
perspiration. His face was beet red and filled
with terror.
"No!" Al Bellowed in his sleep.
"He can't be! It was all a joke! I was
only joking! Noooo!" his features
contorted into a gruesome mask of revulsion.
And then Al suddenly rose from the bed and
came at Chip like a lunatic caught in a
trance. Before Chip knew what was happening Al
had his meaty hands around Chip's neck. Chip
tried to pry his brother's hold loose as he
realized he couldn't get any air. He slapped
his brother in the face as hard as he could,
but Al's grip only tightened. "Al!"
Chip croaked hoarsely as Al's steel like
fingers bit into the skin of his throat.
Al was strangling him to death! |

| As soon
as Keith removed the 3-D optical illusion
poster from his Virtual-illusions bag, he felt
that queasy feeling again. It must have been
the frozen yogurt he ate at the mall that
afternoon.
He tuned back to the poster and positioned
it to nail it into the wall. On the third blow
he missed the nail entirely and struck the
back of his lift hand full force. Keith yelled
and dropped the hammer. It landed dead center
on the poster - and bounced off the glass.
This was no ordinary poster. If only Keith
could have seen it for what it was-- an omen
of a dangerous force that would be beyond his
most horrifying nightmares.
Just because you get a glimpse into the future
doesn't mean you have the ability to change
it--perhaps you can only live in terror until
it's your turn! |

| It's
Halloween in Springwood and the place to be is
the old Appleby mansion where the lord of the
manor is none other than Jack Spyder, himself.
Born John Appleby, Jack Spyder changed his
name when he was eight, right after he was
discovered in a national talent search and
landed a role on a hit television sitcom. But
like many child stars, Jack rose to fame too
fast, and when he lost his parents suddenly in
a terrible accident, he returned home to the
mansion they owned in Springwood.
The teen idol Jack throws a Halloween bash
- the party to end all parties. Not only has
the local boy-made-good returned home, but it
has also been rumored that the accident which
Jack himself had been in had ruined his
clean-cut good looks. Will he be as hideous as
the gossip papers have suggested? Will the
party go beyond Springwood's wildest
expectations? Everyone is literally dying to
find out. |

Info on Nightmares 1-7
Writer,
producer, and director Wes Craven has
successfully tapped into he horror vein for
over thirty years, serving up scary, funny,
hip thrillers that demand a second look. His
films have been both crucial and commercial
successes, most notably 'A Nightmare On Elm
Street' which spawned a series of sequels and
made Craven (and his creation, Freddy Krueger)
an international sensation in the eighties.
But Craven's films have also become classics
in a field that he continues to reinvent the
horror genre is still reeling from the impact
of his most recent project, the brilliant
'Scream' series.
With 'Screams and Nightmares', author Brian J.
Robb cover's Craven's entire career, from his
low-budget beginnings to his most recent box
office hits. Every Craven film is covered from
the banned thriller 'Last House On The Left'
and the cult classic 'The Hills Have Eyes' to
the outrageous 'Shocker' and 'The People Under
The Stairs'. Through exclusive interviews with
Craven, Robb provides in-depth accounts of the
making of each of the films, and concludes
with a section of the director's up and coming
projects.
With a full
filmography and more than 200 black &
White photographs, many from the director's
own collection, 'Screams and Nightmares' is
quite simply the only book of it's kind.
