“A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” (1987)
The first “Nightmare” sequel where Freddy Krueger started being … well, kind of fun, “Dream Warriors” trades the houses of Elm Street for the halls of the Westin Hills psychiatric hospital, where Kristen Parker (Patricia Arquette), committed after a Freddy attack that was interpreted as a suicide attempt, and her fellow patients become terrorized by the great gloved one. The film is silly (boy, is it ever) but it’s definitely got showmanship, with Robert Englund and his young co-stars pulling out all the stops as they put on a pretty decent ’80s horror show; Wes Craven wanted this to be the final installment in the series, but its box office success made that inconceivable. Dick Cavett and Zsa Zsa Gabor appear as themselves (hey, why not?), with heavy metal band Dokken providing the totally awesome theme song.
