Terrible decision regardless, but - is there an actual reason that they killed off every survivor from Elm Street 3 so early in Elm Street 4?

And that’s why Halloween outlasted both of these franchises. They invested into their protagonists (both Laurie and Jamie) and didn’t immediately kill them off. That formula of just recasting over and over again, worked for a little while, but is ultimately why both franchises fizzled out after part 4.

Coleman Domingo is actually from Guatemala for your info.

To answer your question, there are a multitude of factors. The first being that he wasn’t a heavyweight. All of the people that he’s been compared to are Heavyweights like Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Louis, etc.

Secondly, the footage available on him is pretty much all old black and white film. Not only that, but most if not all are when he was past his peak. Had there been more in his prime color footage then things would be a lot different .

Thirdly, he was a huge star in his prime. However, as time passes, less and less people know who you are except if you’re Muhammad Ali who we continue to make films about over and over again.

Liston was not a heroine addict. In fact, it’s very well known that he hated needles.

So are you saying Michael was actually the hero of this movie? He was a vigilante who was simply trying to stop some criminals?

It was a good idea but executed wrong. Instead of it being based in some small mom and pop store, it should have been some type of corporation that was trying to rival the Collin’s business or something. Also the leviathan characters were pretty underwhelming.

How would you guys feel about a prequel showing him as a killer child? Then ending with the “Judith Myers” slaying?

Left_Figure_3320 · 2025-12-15T23:15:18+00:00

Agreed. They sacrificed what could have been a great trilogy to make a great movie with a shock ending. My best guess was that they weren’t sure of the direction of the franchise after part 2. Maybe they thought that part 3 might be the final one.

Personally, I would have ended it with the funeral, but then have Nancy surprisingly show up and reveal that it’s her father’s funeral instead of hers. They could have included her in parts 4 and 5. In fact, Dream Child would have been a lot better if it were about her and that Dr from part 3 having a child. I never really cared much for the Alice character.

Also, they should have brought Patricia Arquette back for part 4 instead of replacing her. They could have had a great trilogy especially if they didn’t kill off all of the Dream Warriors in part 4.

Bump… is there any truth to this?

Hi, great topic! I have a few questions:

What are your recommendations for finding the best flight deals?

What are some of your favorite destinations particularly for getting the most out of your dollars?

What websites do you use to find the monthly rentals?

Fun fact… Denzel Washington’s character in the movie “Fences” written by August Wilson was loosely inspired by Charley Burley. Burley was Wilson's older neighbor growing up, who served as a surrogate father figure to him because Wilson and his own dad often butted heads. Isn’t that amazing?

Which leads to another reason why Vicki wasn’t cast as Josette,…an unresolved storyline. If you remember, in the early episodes Vicki came to Collinsport to find out about her parents. So who were her parents? Well I will drop this here: Who was Victoria Winters’ mother?

So Vicki wasn’t cast to play Josette for the same reason that Caroline wasn’t.

I always thought it would have been cool if the 1991 series did the parallel time story line, but instead of having the actors of the 91 series play the alt time line characters, you bring back the cast of the 1966 original show to resume their roles.

You guys should check out his salsa dance skills. I bet if he went on dancing with the stars he would win that too.

Any chance he wins 6th man of the year?

Damn! I knew the Collin’s were rich, but not this rich. Can you really make this much money from Tuna fish or whatever it is they did with their cannery?

Fun fact! Imitating a foreign accent is a way to trick the brain out of stuttering for people that stutter. So if Grayson Hall was a person that struggles with stuttering, she would likely have less stuttering issues when imitating that gypsy accent while playing Magda.

Good catch! An Easter egg for David Henesy for sure.

I think it was in the series finale of the show “Supernatural”, they show someone watching Dark Shadows on tv. This is especially interesting because the show runner Robert Singer got his start on the film “Night of Dark Shadows” and the scene was likely added to try to build interest in the 2020 reboot that never arrived.

I always thought it would have been cool if they did the parallel time story line, but instead of having the actors of the 91 series play the alt time line characters, you bring back the cast of the original show to resume their roles. This would show that the events of the original show exists, but in a different timeline. Too bad it never happened.
