‘New Nightmare’ Freddy Figure Unveiled by NECA

Just when it seemed like the franchise starting with 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street was did, creator Wes Craven would reinvent it with the 1994 sequel New Nightmare. Set in the “real world,” this film’s version of Freddy Krueger is something much more than the dream demon shown in all of the previous movies, targeting real-life franchise actress Heather Langenkamp and her family. To keep her son safe, Heather must find a way to stop this the supernatural force which has taken on the form of the boogeyman she’s fought in movies.

The sequel is a favorite for many fans of the movie series, and now NECA is giving the film some more love by revealing their upcoming New Nightmare Freddy Krueger!
