A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is easily one of the best movies in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, despite being jokier than the first film and substantially less gay than the second one. Dream Warriors finds a group of troubled and horny teens at a psychiatric hospital being terrorized by notorious child murderer and sweater enthusiast Freddy Krueger. Luckily for them, O.G. final girl Nancy Thompson is there to help out. I always liked Dream Warriors because it tried to broaden the scope of the franchise by adding in little things like the dream suppressant drug Hypnocil and the whole "son of a hundred maniacs" backstory for Freddy. And who could forget that sweet theme song by Dokken?

I like the part where Freddy rips out the guys veins and uses them as marionette strings.
