Chapter four


The book's portrayal of Lori's police station nightmare was quite intriguing. It offered an extended and detailed perspective on the character's experience, which I found quite captivating. However, I couldn't help but feel that the film adaptation missed an opportunity to capture this essence truly. In particular, the shadowy stalking of Lori by Freddy in her dreams, as described in the book, would have added a whole new dimension to the character's fear and the overall threat of Freddy. It's a shame that this aspect wasn't explored further in the film.


If Stubbs had taken the initiative to wake Lori up from her nightmare in the film, it could have portrayed him as a considerate and empathetic individual, highlighting the depth of his character and showcasing his caring nature towards others. Such a gesture would have added a layer of complexity to his persona, making him a more relatable and likable character among the audience if he wasn't already a likable character. 


The book does a better job than the movie describing Blake’s nightmare. It would have been a nice touch to show Blake taunting Freddy and being thankful that it was just a nightmare.


Another aspect that was done better in the book was Blake’s death. It played out like the movie, obviously, but Blake thought it was still a dream. He also

manages to run off the porch into the arms of Jason. This would have been a great scene in the film, especially when Blake calls Jason Freddy.


The chapter wraps up with Blake and his father’s death.

Day 51

Day 51 December 20th, 2023  So again, I am just watching the movie for the sake of watching it. As much as I want to review more deleted scenes or sequences today, I am not feeling it. I am starting to wonder if this will take a toll on me mentally. It is like a daily chore like brushing your teeth or showering just to watch it. I know that I have a lot going on outside of watching the film, and seasonal depression is probably kicking in if you couldn't tell from some of the anti-Christmas stuff I was saying yesterday. For the record, I once liked Christmas, then I saw how dysfunctional my family became after my father passed away, and we were able to only get a handful of good Christmas Eve nights. It started going downhill after I had my colon resection. I do blame myself for the start of the decline. I ripped my brother's family a new hole because I took all my pain out on them. This was when I grew less fond of letting the kids do whatever they wanted. I did not yell at the

Day 100

Day 100 February 7th, 2024 Is it over? I will be the first to admit that the first 100 days were tough. It all seems easy on paper but in practice this sucks. I feel like I could have applied myself to something better and something that could improve my overall mental state along with my health. Instead, I do the opposite and strangely I am somewhat okay with that. Theories... Theories... Theories. I have written quite a few theories about this movie and to be honest that is what is making the project fun. The movie is pretty much cut and dry but for me to survive I have to look into the film and find some deeper meaning towards certain aspects. Do I honestly feel that some of the crackpot theories I’ve written hold some weight, yes. It is my opinion of things and how I see them and in ways envisioned them and interpreted them. I feel that being able to express them in a medium that I prefer it is allowing me to enjoy what I am doing. Someday I’d like to adventure into a podcast about

Pee Wee

  Day338 October 2, 2024 I loved the Pee Wee Herman reference in the film with the line, "I know you are but what am I?" It was a humorous and nostalgic moment that added a touch of lightheartedness to the scene.
