A 20-minute non-commercial fan edit using existing footage from across the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. This is a non-commercial fan edit created under fair use and fan art/parody provisions of U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17 § 107). "Nightmare on Elm Street: Judgment Day" is a tribute to the legacy of Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, using edited footage from official sources. This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by New Line Cinema, Warner Bros or the creators of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
All copyrighted material belongs to its respective owners. No profit is being made from this video. It is a fan-made concept and pitch celebrating Freddy's dark origin. Happy Halloween, and congratulations to Robert Englund on his Hollywood Star!
Although I can not make any profit off this please consider purchasing the movies themselves to support the creators.
What was actually done?
The beginning and ending of this fan edit were heavily reworked to align with Freddy’s timeline, since the original episode was written early in the franchise. The Freddy’s Nightmares episode itself was also extensively edited to fit the narrative. Additional adjustments included sample audio, cropping, and visual corrections to better unify the different source materials.
Sources Used:
o A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
o Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
o Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
o Freddy’s Nightmares S1E1 (1988)
Audio:
o Drew's Famous Party Music – Halloween Horror Movie Themes (1998)
o Royalty-free sound effects: fire, glass breaking, angry mob

With today's de-aging, CGI, and AI tools, there’s no reason the dream demon can’t return. Here's hoping.
