She decided to take some rest on a cot in his dressing room when…
The only light in the room was around my makeup mirror, dimmed down to halfway.
I went like that [jolts back], and the creature in the mirror went like that.
Then I realized, Oh my God, its me!
Thatll show up in a dream or something, because it was so disorienting.
It obviously made a little crease in whats left of my brain.
I have very visceral dreams of that.
Shes back in the diner, she locks up [the door], and leaves again.
Theres a plane going down thats been bombed by terrorists.
I think subconsciously that me watching Andrew playing that strange psycho may have informed Freddy a little bit.
In Tulsa, I met Janet Hirshenson, Langenkamp says.
She was the casting director ofThe Outsidersalong with Jane Jenkins, but I really saw Janet a lot.
When I got my SAG card, I came to Los Angeles and Janet was so generous.
I really owe so much to her.
They were just amazing people.
They had a very generous spirit about helping people from out of town who were coming from long places.
The filmmaker had a knack for portraying teenage life from his 70s TV movieSummer of FearthroughScreamandMy Soul to Take.
This was a time when there were a lot of latchkey kids.
I think thats one of the curses that Wes is using.
Its not Andy Hardys America.
Its not Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland putting on a show in the garage anymore.
Langenkamp concludes, I think Wes felt very sad about that reality in America.
A lot of the movies that he wrote were reflecting that change and doing it in this mythological way.
