Smith's Distilled London Dry Gin, r8.
I actually took some screenshots from my Blu Ray copy of Elm Street for you. But I cannot find any "Smith's" brand gin on the internet. So it's either a fictional brand, or something that went out of business, or an obscure, local brand somewhere.
Ronee Blakley has another bottle of it in the scene where Nancy tucks her into bed with the rear label showing.
I can't upload the screen shots to ImageShack for some reason. Maybe ImageShack doesn't take png's?

R9 Thank you so much 😃! Also thank you for the info regarding the brand. Normally, when a brand is in a movie it appears as a trivia question on a super fan site and when I didn't see it mentioned I got uber curious.
I was watching Nightmare on Elm Street ( the remake) and decided to check and see did anyone respond to my question. Indeed! someone did.

No, r19, the bottle label says "Smith's" and it's a totally different design from "Sipsmith's." I searched the web for the exact label and Google doesn't have it.
I have no idea if "Sipsmith's" changed its name or bought "Smith's" gin brand.
I tried to upload my Blu Ray pngs, but Imageshack wouldn't let me do it. Stream or play a good copy of Elm Street and just pause it on the scenes of the bottle. There's the one Nancy destroys when she says, "Screw sleep!" then another Ronee Blakley is drinking in bed when Nancy tucks her in for the last time.

I've seen Elm Street 1 several times. I saw it at a outdoor summer movie event a few years ago with some friends. Whenever she came on screen, the audience started laughing and people were saying how terrible she was compared to the rest of the cast.
As others have said, Elm Street 4 was the highest grossing of the franchise. It was a solid cast, awesome soundtrack, and tapped into peak late 80's MTV audience. Not as scary as the original, but I love it. 3 was really good too.

I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old and at the time I was essentially a latch key kid in the sense that my parents left for work before I left for school and they returned from work after I had already been home for several hours.
For at least a year after I watched this movie, I was TERRIFIED to be in the house alone. Even during broad daylight.
I wonder how it holds up, since it’s been years since I have watched it, and Freddy as a horror character was almost immediately watered down and became more of a comic foil in the sequels.
But man, this first movie really did a number on me. The scene where his arms extend in the alley, my God.

I think you're the same old DL Horror Loon who went ballistic after multiple posters rejected your assessment of Blakely's performance in last year's Heather Langenkamp Thread, r63.
If DL posters want to get a whiff of r63's personal vendetta against Ronee Blakely and watch just how unhinged and personally deranged she gets when refuted, they should scroll down to Reply #53 in the thread linked below.
My favorite part was when we disproved the Blakely Hater with positive critics' reviews of her performance and video interviews with the producers of NOES who state plainly that Ronee's involvement helped secure the funding for the film. Blakeley Hater went into a FULL-BLOWN, ASPIE-CON LEVEL 9 MELTDOWN.😂🤣😂🤣

These. Never. Happened. I'll believe it if and when r63 can post a link to a credible media report of an outdoor screening where audiences singled out Blakeley for jeering. Let's see a photo of your ticket stubs or the transaction statement from your bank when the screening was charged. I don't believe you have friends, either. You're going to have to post receipts for ALL of this stuff.
The DL Horror Loon threw the same kind of petulant tantrums when others disagreed with its fawning adoration for HALLOWEENS 4 and 5, THE EXORCIST 3 plus TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 1 alone. It really has no tolerance for any viewpoint that diverges from its own shitty taste, which makes for hilarious Troll Fails and meltdowns.

RE: Part 4's supposed preeminence:
Sequels generate box office based on the reviews and expectations set up by customers' experience with the PREVIOUS film. In other words, ELM STREET 4 succeeded because ELM STREET 3 was well-liked. The fans thought they were going to get more of the same.
What's really telling is that ELM STREET 5 only took in $22 million at the box office. That's less than half of the performance of ELM STREET 4 and it was all because ELM STREET 4 SUCKED!!!! Audiences figured Freddy had jumped the shark.

A total natural on-screen. The latin boy was as bad as Heather. Before Wes Craven died he was talking about Johnny Depp on Twitter and how he'd have no career if he wasn't cast in NOES. I told him no way. He'd have had another break out role. That is not how history works. A million people might've been rejected from the first NOES and no doubt their careers are fine.

The one who played Alice was great as the final girl and her fight w Freddy was cool. This was the first Nightmare I saw in the theatre and the movie was well anticipated. Part 5 was horrible. That is when the franchise fell apart. Part 6 was horrible. Part 7 was meh w lots of really bad actors like Heather's son and husband. Horrible. Freddy vs Jason was horrible too.

It's kind of funny that it's in the early parts of the film, when she's playing a regular teen doing regular teen things, that she is kind of awkward and unconvincing.

For me, the only special effects that don't hold up are Freddy's stretching arms in the alley, which you can tell are mechanical and the crew at the time didn't think would look good. Also, when Freddy pulls Ronee Blakely through the tiny window of the front door at the end of the movie, you can totally tell someone is just yanking on a mannequin.
Everything else looks convincing to me. Freddy slicing his fingers off, Tina flung across the ceiling; Johnny Depp's blood geyser. I will say that Freddy's burn makeup got MUCH better in ELM STREETS 2 & 3.
But I think atmosphere and suspense make it very scary in any decade. It's all about the claustrophobic boiler room, editing, confusion and darkness.

I have the Blu Ray NIGHTMARE box set and all the classic movies look immaculate. It would be nice if they come out with a 4K + box set that includes FREDDY V. JASON and the remake, even though those movies aren't great.
Myself, I'm slowly working through every episode of the FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES TV show, which also needs to be released on Blu Ray. Somehow, they made 44 hour-long episodes of corny crap that the internet allows me to watch now, as the TV show was cancelled in my area after just a couple of months back in the '80s. The episodes mostly suck — the beginning of Mike DeLuca's meddling and vulgarizing of the franchise. Not scary at all and not within the rules established by Wes Craven.
But it's fun camp and something a real fan should do. There's a high number of FRIDAY THE 13TH actors in the casts,too, including actors with big parts in Jason movies like Lars Park Lincoln and David Kagen.
Plus, there's amazing early work from huge stars like Brad Pitt, Mariska Hargitay and John Cameron Mitchell! Nice to see the shit they had to shovel before making it big.

Joes was a total pussy hound and never learned. Hot video vixens are his kryptonite. The sexy nurse with the tongues in part 3 that has him tied to a bed over hell and the hot poster babe in his waterbed that does him in in part 4. "How's this for a wet dream, bwahahahahahah"

[Quote] Ronney Mara as Nancy and that hot chick as Kris the Tina substitute in the remake really shit the bed.
Rooney is definitely not girl next door material. But Kris and Katie actually look very similar. Maybe Rooney and Katie should have swapped roles.

The remake sucked and I love Katie Cassidy.

They should have made Amanda Wyss the final girl. Wyss is a much better actress than Langenkamp.
However, I think they wanted the All American Girl or Girl Next Door, and Langenkamp had that look.

Heather was fine in 1 and 3. But they were asking alot of her in New Nightmare.

Heather is a fine actress. She was hilarious as the sex-crazed religious “Marie” in the woefully underrated sitcom Just The Ten of Us.

Since you cunts are talking 'bout it, I watched 2, 3, 4, (which are all great) and fast forwarded through 5. 5 is unwatchable and a total 0 of a movie. I hate everything about it. The deaths were not scary, just ridiculous. The kid was as annoying as fuck. I wanted to push him screaming into a live volcano. Tonally the movie was off. Alice was still good even in this dreck. I just started part 6, directed by lesbian Rachel Talalay. It is whimsical but way better than 5.

Part 6 is crap. Absolute rubbish. Part 5 is bad too, but I put it above the garbage that is Freddy's Dead because it at least follows a similar template as part 4 and has Alice and Dan.

Part 5 at least gave us shirtless Danny Hassel and the shirtless bodybuilder who played him in the opening credits.
It also gave us that really imaginative comic book Freddy sequence in black and white, which was cool. 1/4 stars.
The only good thing about Part 6 is Johnny Depp's cameo, which was hilarious. .But it was supposed to be a horror movie and it felt more like a corny variety show. 0.125/4 stars for Johnny's gag alone.

The same bodybuilder who doubled for Dan during the opening credits of The Dream Child also played Super Freddy.

Sure, you're not psycho at all. You just see things that aren't there and then stalk anyone else who doesn't see them.

I re-watched 5 recently. I agree with everyone, with one exception. I thought the two kills of Danny and Greta were pretty gruesome and unique, especially Greta. Greta's kill ranks up there with Freddy as the puppeteer in part 3, but not iconic like Tina in 1. I also liked her character. Both of these happened in the beginning of the film and then it really lost steam.

R122 is Jabba using one of her dozens of sock accounts. I have Jabba blocked but I always check to see what threads she's polluting with her repulsive psychotic toxic cunt. She's always psychotic and always nonsensical. Like defending Heather's horrible acting in part 1. Anyway. I had to fast forward through parts 5-7. They are all absolute zeroes. The kills were boring and stupid, repeating previous better kills. In 5 and 6 especially, Freddy was as annoying as fuck. He wasn't scary and had zero connection to the Freddy of part 1. His one liners were weak and unfunny. I'm still trying to get through part 7. Everyone is a complete and total cunt. Especially the kid. I have never said: fucking cunt! to a character a million times like in this horrid movie. 7 is definitely the worst. Until you get to Freddy vs Jason, which is worse than 7.

R125 is a complete lunatic and obviously the victim of some sort of incest, rape or bashing. Poor thing.
And Heather shines in all three films she stars in.

This has always been one of the more imaginative horror franchises. Even the bad sequels have a few moments or set pieces that make them worth watching. Freddy's Dead is probably my least favorite, but even that one has some inspired moments. Nothing will ever be scarier than the first two. Something about the way Freddy's lit and his makeup are really scary. They also manipulate Robert Englund's voice to make it deeper and more menacing. Some of the other sequels forget to do this and he comes across as more comic.

Everything about Freddy in 5 and 6 were horrible. Voice. Make up. Acting. Flat unfunny jokes. They completely destroyed all that was good about him in the first 4 movies.

7 was WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE, the meta one with Heather and one of the best installments of the franchise.
It's Robert Englund's favorite NIGHTMARE and a precursor to SCREAM.

I'm not going to lie, I love the soundtrack to Elm St 4, including, and especially the intro song sung by Tuesday Knight. I found it on Spotify randomly at the gym and I still think it's really good. I guess it was a single when the movie was released. I also love "Anything, Anything" by DramaRama. I think of Alice with her nunchucks.

The whole pt 4 soundtrack is great, including the Go West song “Don’t Be Afraid of Your Dreams” and the previously hard to find “Pride and Joy” by Joe Lamont. Here is a fan-made complication featuring several songs that were in the film but weren’t included on the official soundtrack release.

Part 4 gets a lot of hate for really embracing funny Freddy, but the characters are all really engaging and likable and I love how Alice grows from wallflower to badass heroine. I really bought it.
