The nightmare time it is certainly a remarkable saga for horror fans. Hardly anyone who likes the topic does not know the ghastly Freddy Krueger, created in 1984 by Wes Craven, who is a great killer even today.

Thinking of these fans, the publisher Darkside launched the neat work Nightmare on Elm Street: Never Sleep Again, bringing several special materials about the productions. From how Wes thought about this character, to curiosities about filming, this book is packed with precious information for Krueger lovers.

It is no secret that the first two films of The nightmare time were made with a very low budget - and managed to be a box office success. In this work, the production team tells their experience in filming and explains how it was possible to create such a huge success, investing so little.

One of the most interesting parts comes right at the beginning, in the preface to Wes Craven, where we found out what was the inspiration to create Freddy Krueger with the chosen characteristics.

Thommy Hutson carefully narrates the creation of all the elements that marked this saga, explaining in depth about the choice of the soundtrack - the famous song with the children singing -, as it was thinking about putting the children in the scenes, where the famous glove came from and even even as the sound effect of the scratching blade was created.

The difficulties are also exposed here. In addition to the low budget, The nightmare time suffered from several problems in the beginning and we can see what they were and how they were solved in this book. It is interesting to see the fundamental role that the production team played during all the steps, always willing to solve the obstacles that appeared along the way. As you read, it becomes clear how much teamwork is important for the success of a project, much more than money.

The well-known graphic work of Darkside is employed in that work. With a layout that lives up to the theme and several illustrations very well placed, the edition is eye-popping and also beautiful to decorate the shelf.

Nightmare on Elm Street: Never Sleep Again it's a very important special for both horror fans and film lovers. With a lot of information about creating an icon, using a low budget, the book becomes indispensable for everyone who enjoys the audiovisual world.
