Harker Press, the publisher who brought you Slash of the Titans: The Road to Freddy vs Jason and The Soul of Wes Craven, is back with a brand new book that takes a unique approach to exploring Wes Craven’s original A Nightmare on Elm Street and its many sequels.
From author Lowell Greenblatt, Nightmare Autopsis: A Return to Elm Street promises “a nostalgic trip back to Elm Street to revisit the original Nightmare and its sequels.”
Featuring original story analyses and new production info, the book notably features exclusive new interviews and reflections by cast and crew from every entry. You’re also getting a franchise-spanning photo gallery, new insights from three Nightmare on Elm Street directors, extensive looks at unused sequel scripts, and notes on deleted and alternate scenes.
“For the Fredhead that likes to know every detail, this book is for you,” says Harker Press owner Dustin McNeill. “It’s been a lot of fun to work with Lowell Greenblatt to bring this particular book to life. His attention to detail in exploring the Elm Street mythology is very much in the tradition of our earlier books like Taking Shape and Reign of Chucky. You’ll not only learn about the storylines that were, but also storylines that almost were such as in deleted scenes, discarded subplots, and alternate scripts. And it’s all backed up by stories from the filmmakers themselves.”
“My love of film started at a young age with the Nightmare on Elm Street films,” says Greenblatt. “I’ve long felt that this franchise has been underserved in our cultural conversation around horror, especially during the genre’s modern resurgence. My hope with Nightmare Autopsis is that their artistry and imagination will finally be appreciated as readers delve with me into Nightmare history. Whether you’re a huge Freddy fan or a newcomer to the series, there’s something for you inside.”
