10 Horror Movie Sequels That Started In Surprising Ways
6. A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
With A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors seeing franchise fave Nancy use her last breaths to help kill off Freddy Krueger, many pondered just how Krueger would resurface once it was announced that Renny Harlin would be bringing a fourth Elm Street picture to the silver screen in 1988. After all, you couldn't do an Elm Street offering and not feature Robert Englund's fedora-adorned child killer, right?
Freddy would indeed (obviously) return for A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - and Elm Street 5: The Dream Child... and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare... and kind of for Wes Craven's New Nightmare... plus Freddy vs. Jason... and even the awful 2010 remake - but the more shocking matter was how Englund's character was reintroduced in The Dream Master.
When Elm Street 3 survivor Kincaid finds himself joined by his dog Jason in a dream, it soon becomes apparent that the duo are near the remains of Freddy Krueger. In one of the most baffling, bizarre moments in mainstream horror history, the pooch takes a literal flaming piss on Krueger's bones, which somehow resurrects the villain and allows him to carry on with his vendetta against the children of Springwood.
