Trivia

Season two, episode ten, "Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?", near the end, when Patti is closing the double doors, a cameraman's shadow is visible on the wall when the shot pulls back. Judging by Patti's toys in season two, episode eight, "Bloodlines", one would assume that the episode takes place in the '80s, but posters of Jon Bon Jovi are prominently featured in this episode, leading to some reasonable doubt about the timeline (since this is supposed to be more than a decade later).

User Reviews

A Great TV Series, Having Freddy Krueger as Showman – Volume 3

The third volume of this series released on VHS in Brazil is composed of the following episodes:

1) ` Sisters Keeper´s' (`Duplo Pesadelo')

Director: Ken Wiederhorn

Lead Cast: Hill Park (Lisa), Gry Park (Merit) and Anne Curry (Sara)

In Springwood, the twin sisters Lisa and Merit are suffering the consequences of the act of their father, the policeman who killed Freddy Krueger. Merit spent a period in a mental institution, having nightmares with the evil Freddy, and now is very protected by her mother, making Lisa a little jealous with the situation. In this episode, the sisters decide to share the same dream to fight against Freddy. Fans like me of Freddy Krueger will love this episode. My vote is eight. (17 Jun 2004).

2) `Mother´s Day' (` O Dia das Mães')

Director: Michael Lange

Lead Cast: Byron Thames (Billy), Jill Whitlow (Barbara), Elizabeth Savage (Sherry Gamble), Judith Blanton (Al)

In Springwood, on the mother's day, a family comes to live in the house that belonged to Freddy Krueger. Before the recem-married couple travels in honeymoon, Billy, the teenager son of the bride, is advised by her husband to take care with his belongings. While they are traveling, Billy meets his neighbor Sherry and reality and dream mixes in a crazy and tragic party. After this incident, Sherry decides to call her mother Barbara, who presents a show in the radio. This episode, composed in two parts, is another great horror story. My vote is eight. (17 Jun 2004).
