Patricia Arquette in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
In the years gone by, the horror genre has seen the resurgence of its many fan-favorite final girls. Like Jamie Lee Curtis returning to the Halloween franchise, Courtney Cox and Neve Campbell signing on the next Scream film, among others. Another final girl fans would love to return is Patricia Arquette’s Kristen Parker from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors along with her tormenter Freddy Krueger played by horror legend Robert Englund.
“Ya know, I just, I never really thought that in my dreams I’d be a gymnast so I don’t know,” Arquette joked. Dream Warrior a sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, follows Kristen , who can pull people in and out of dreams and imagines she is a professional gymnast. She is able to use aerial attacks on Freddy and team up with other kids to launch a daring rescue into the dreamland and save a child.
“Can I change my superpower? Maybe I’ll come back if I can change my superpower, but I mean, I don’t know. I can be invisible; I can be anti-gravitational. I can do all kinds of things. Why do I have to do gymnastics? I like gymnastics don’t get me wrong, but I’d like something a little more lethal when I’m dealing with him.”
While Arquette did not return for the follow-up movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, her character Kristen did, this time, played by Tuesday Knight. In the aftermath of the film's events, Kristen was unceremoniously killed off by Freddy after being thrown into a furnace, but not before she was able to pass her powers onto Alice Johnson .
‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ Is a Cult Classic Close The legacy of Wes Craven’s nightmare-inducing iconic film is long and prestigious. The movie has inspired and terrified multiple generations in equal measure. Nonetheless, the most terrifying part of the movie, Freddy, became the biggest horror icon of the decade. A pop culture phenomenon who went beyond the genre and became a burnt face that even non-horror fans knew.
