Nightmare of Elm Street’s Heather Langenkamp still wants to play Nancy again

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Heather Langenkamp became one of our beloved genre's best scream queens after starring in writer-director Wes Craven's 1984 slasher classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET with Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. And today we have word that Langenkamp would love to get the chance to bring Nancy to life once again.

Langenkamp shared:

I would really love to reprise Nancy in a way, because I feel that there's more of that story to be told, certainly. But I don't know if there's anyone out there who is as imaginative as Wes Craven, who could figure it out. I just don't know. I don't see enough great storylines that would incorporate Nancy in any universe. I just don't know if that exists, but some brilliant person might be working on something. But I know the fans would love it so much because I see them in these situations where they're so enthusiastic.

In Wes Craven's classic slasher film:

several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams — which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET was written and directed by Wes Craven and produced by Robert Shaye. The film starred Heather Langenkamp along with John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Amanda Wyss, Nick Corri, Johnny Depp, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. The movie featured music by Charles Bernstein, cinematography by Jacques Haitkin, editing by Patrick McMahon and Rick Shaine. New Line Cinema the flick into a thetaer near your parents back on November 9, 1984.
