The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan teases he has a pitch for a new A Nightmare on Elm Street film, but doesn't know who to go to.
Mike Flanagan, the creator of horror series The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, has teased his pitch for a new A Nightmare on Elm Street movie. The original A Nightmare on Elm Street premiered in 1984, and is widely considered to be one of the best horror films of all-time. The movie launched a horror franchise of the same name, with eight sequels released between 1985 and 2003.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with Flanagan on the Script Apart podcast, the Haunting of Hill House creator pitches what his version of A Nightmare on Elm Street could look like. Flanagan says that he's had a full pitch for a new A Nightmare on Elm Street prepared for years, but getting the rights for the franchise is difficult.
One of the [franchises] on my list forever has been A Nightmare on Elm Street. Boy, that would be fun [laughs]. I have a whole take for it that I worked out a couple of years ago and my understanding is the rights situation for that title is so fraught, no one knows who controls it really, and no one knows who to pitch. So, I keep saying to my agents, 'Send me in on Nightmare on Elm Street' and they're like, 'We'd love to, [but] we have no idea who you should talk to.
However, modern attempts at bringing Freddy Krueger to life have been a mixed bag. After returning to his roots with the meta 1994 sequel New Nightmare with Craven at the helm, the finger-gloved killer got a sleek, borderline-MTV style in Freddy vs. Jason from Bride of Chucky's Ronny Yu.
With an emphasis on atmospheric horror rather than a reliance on jumpscares, however, Flanagan's horror style would certainly bring something new to the long-running Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Craven's original was praised for its psychological scares as much as its haunting visuals, something Flanagan has showed a grasp on with his Haunting anthology and Midnight Mass, among other things.
