* Best "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3" advertisement
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere review
* American slasher horror film
* "Some Kind of Wonderful" opening
A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for Opening Day showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
Page 6 of section VI has a review of the film headed: "'ELM STREET 3': HORROR AND HUMOR" And perhaps more significant is the terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see).
Also the opening day review and advertisements for the movie "Some Kind Of Wonderful" (see)
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections 1 and VI totaling 70 pages. Nice condition.
AI notes: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (1987) follows a new group of teenagers in Springwood Psychiatric Hospital, all of whom are haunted by nightmares of Freddy Krueger, the burned killer who attacks them in their dreams. Under the care of Dr. Neil Gordon, the teens learn that they can harness unique abilities within their dreams, reflecting their fears and personalities, giving them a chance to fight back against Freddy. Central to the story is Kristen Parker, who helps unite the group as the patients become “Dream Warriors,” using their powers to confront the increasingly sadistic and cunning Freddy. The film blends inventive dream-based horror with dark humor, featuring iconic sequences such as Freddy crawling on the ceiling and his glove attacks, while also expanding his backstory and malevolent persona. Praised for its creativity, suspense, and special effects, Dream Warriors revitalized the franchise, cementing Freddy Krueger as a pop-culture icon of the late 1980s.
