Chapter Six


The chapter starts with Lori finally being picked up from the police station. As a father, Dr. Campbell doesn't care about his daughter and what she went through. Let alone what just happened at the house. 


The description of Dr. Campbell drugging his daughter treads lightly. He was even more sneaky, adding the pill to the orange juice, unlike its movie counterpart where they don't rely on the sneaky aspect of his actions. It is evident and blunt. 


Of course, her father would be a great person to have around for comfort; he locked her boyfriend away!


The anger Dr. Campbell has in Will escaping Westin Hills would have been an excellent addition to the film. The book does a great job of showing the anger he had.


Police containment… That has always been the way with Elm Street?!?

The book describes how the police always cover up any situation that was to arise on Elm Street by containing it. I smell a cover-up that lasted from 1966 until 2003...


The book includes the deleted scene where Lori scratches the paint off the front door to discover that the door is not yellow; it is red. I remember that door once being blue… They should have kept that scene in the film, to be honest. 


Showing Mark and Will break into Mark’s house to get a change of clothes would have been an excellent addition to the film.


Showing Gibb yell at her classmates for staring at her would have been an excellent addition to the film, along with adding more depth to her character.


One thing I hate is what came before that. Mark is simply collateral damage to the police if she were to die. Finding Will was their main priority. 


Mark mentioning the possibility of Lori being the one to die would have been an excellent addition to show in the film. Seeing them be sneaky traveling through Springwood without being caught also would have been nice to see.


The book is a bit misleading. It sounds like Lori was outside telling people about her nightmare, but when she passes out, she is in the school.


The chapter comes to a close as Lori passes out after seeing Will.

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.
