"A Nightmare on Elm Street" Series Quiz

Answer: Tina Gray

Tina is first introduced during the opening credits of "A Nightmare on Elm Street", where Freddy chases her through a boiler room in her dreams. As Freddy attacks her, she wakes up with cuts in her nightgown. The next night, three of her friends, Nancy Thompson, Glen Lantz and Rod Lane, go to her house for protection while she sleeps.

After Tina falls asleep, Freddy appears and chases her through a street, into her yard, and finally into her own bed, where Freddy throws her around like a rag doll while slicing her apart, starting with her chest.

After a few agonizing seconds, Tina falls into a bloody bed and onto the floor, dead.

Answer: Glen Lantz

Johnny Depp makes his film debut as Glen Lantz in "A Nightmare on Elm Street", and what a debut. After Glen agrees to come over to Nancy's house to help her fight Freddy, he falls asleep while listening to the radio, which finishes playing the 'Star-Spangled Banner' and says, "It's now twelve midnight, and this is station KRGR leaving the air."

Freddy then grabs Glen through his bed with his razor-gloved hand and pulls him in, along with a television, a radio and his bed sheets. Blood then erupts from the hole in his bed like a geyser, and his mother walks in just in time to see the carnage. This was shot in the same rotating room set where Tina's death was filmed, and over 500 gallons of fake blood was used for this one scene. There's also an extended version where Glen's now-lifeless body emerges from the hole before flopping onto the bed.

Answer: Schneider

Schneider is the mean, homosexual Phys. Ed. teacher at Springwood High School in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge" who enjoys making Jessie Walsh's life at school miserable, as well as anyone else's who so much as looks at him funny. One night, Jesse wanders outside into the rain and into a bar called Don's Place. Just as he tries to drink some beer, Schneider catches him in the act and brings him back to the school to run laps around the gym as punishment.

While Jessie is taking a shower, Schneider goes into the Phys. Ed teacher's office to prepare the second phase of Jessie's punishment when a mysterious force shoots the balls at Schneider. Two jump ropes then grab Schneider by the wrists and drag him into the showers, where he's stripped naked and whipped with towels. A Freddy-possessed Jessie emerges from the steam and approaches Schneider as the latter screams in terror before Jessie slashes him twice in the back with his razor-gloved hand. As Schneider hangs dead, Jessie appears from the steam, wearing Freddy's razor glove, which he looks at and screams in terror.

Answer: Philip Anderson

Philip is one of the teenagers in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors' who is admitted to the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital because he has a habit of sleepwalking. However, he's very gifted at making puppets and the like. One night, while Philip is asleep, a puppet transforms into Freddy and grows to full size, where he then cuts open Philip's limbs and uses his tendons as puppet strings and walks him to the balcony of the hospital's tower. Freddy then cuts Philip's tendons from his fingers, causing Philip to plummet to his death. Because no one could see Freddy outside Philip's dream, his death is ruled a suicide.

Answer: Jennifer Caulfield

Jennifer is another teenager admitted to the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" who dreams of one day becoming a successful actress.

The night after Philip's death, Jennifer falls asleep in the REC room while watching "The Dick Cavett Show", where he's interviewing Zsa Zsa Gabor. Dick then transforms into Freddy and raises his razor-glove at Zsa Zsa, a clear warning that Jennifer has nodded off. When Jennifer goes to change the channel manually, she pounds on the television, causing two mechanical, clawed arms to emerge and grab her, lifting her off the ground. Freddy's head then emerges from the top and shoves her head through the screen, fatally electrocuting her. Naturally, her death is ruled a suicide.

Answer: Taryn White

Taryn is a drug addict who is admitted to the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors". Near the end of the film, she and a few others form the "Dream Warriors" to do battle against Freddy in the dream world, where she transforms into a punk girl.

After the group is separated, Taryn ends up in an alleyway where Freddy confronts her. Although she puts up a good fight, Freddy gets her up against a wall and turns his fingers into syringes containing deadly amounts of heroin, which he injects into Taryn's arms, causing a slow and painful death.

Answer: Debbie Stevens

Debbie is the workout-loving tomboy in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master". After Debbie falls asleep while working out, she starts bench-pressing some weights, and Freddy appears in the weights' reflective surface. He then hangs over Debbie as she says, "I don't believe in you!" only for Freddy to jokingly reply, "I believe in you." Freddy then says, "No pain, no gain," as he breaks off Debbie's arms at the elbows, causing prothoracic legs of a cockroach to sprout in their place.

As she runs around, she soon runs onto a glue floor inside an insect trap, where she completes her transformation into a cockroach. Freddy then grabs the trap, looks inside it and says, "You can check in, but you can't check out," as he crushes the trap, killing Debbie.

Answer: Dan Jordan

Dan Jordan was one of the protagonists in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master" and returns in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child". While driving to see Alice Johnson, who works at a diner as a waitress, Dan falls asleep at the wheel of his pickup truck with the radio on. He then hears his mother on the radio berate him about his relationship with Alice, followed by Freddy's voice, suggesting she kills him. Dan is then bound by various seat belts and loses control of the truck, which speeds into oncoming traffic. Freddy then appears in the passenger seat and tries to drink some champagne, only to spit it out, saying, "Bad year, Dan!" before pouring it onto his right shoulder, which he takes off and uses as a seat belt.

The truck then crashes into a tree, causing Dan to fly out through the windshield and onto the deck of an indoor pool. He then goes outside and speeds off on a motorcycle at an unsafe speed. Freddy then possesses the motorcycle and fuses it to Dan. Freddy then says, "Hey, Danny! Better not dream and drive!" before crashing the motorcycle into an oncoming vehicle, which causes Dan to crash his pickup truck into a semi-trailer for real just as he wakes up, killing him on impact near the diner Alice is working at. To rub salt in the wound, Dan's body briefly comes alive and taunts Alice, which causes her to pass out.

Answer: Mark Gray

Mark Gray is a comic book fanatic in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child". After falling asleep in a warehouse, he reads a comic book called "Nightmare from Hell", which depicts the events of the movie so far. He's then pulled into a black-and-white comic book world where Freddy taunts him about Greta Gibson's death, whom Freddy killed earlier by force-feeding her in the dream world, which causes her to choke to death in the real world during one of her mother's dinner parties. This gets Mark mad and allows him to turn into the Phantom Prowler, and he shoots Freddy like crazy.

But Mark's victory is very short-lived as Freddy gets back up as Super Freddy, who is now immune to Mark's gunfire. Freddy is able to close in on Mark and turn him into a paper figure, which he then tears to shreds. This causes Mark to be crushed to death by unstable shelves in real life.

Answer: Spencer Lewis

Spencer is a video-game-loving drug addict in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare". He keeps running away from home because of his strained relationship with his father, even setting his father's car on fire once. This leads to him being committed to the Recovery Health Youth Center, where he, Carlos and Tracey try to run away to California by stowing away in the van when Maggie Burnham brings John Doe to Springwood, Ohio. After falling asleep on the couch near the broken TV in the house that Nancy and her family occupied in the first "A Nightmare on Elm Street" film, Spencer sees Johnny Depp on TV spoofing the "This is your brain on drugs" egg-and-frying-pan commercial before Freddy knocks him out cold with a frying pan. Freddy then asks Spencer to 'trip out' as the screen comes alive in colors while "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly plays, and soon finds himself in a video game of Freddy's creation.

In the real world, Spencer has seemingly vanished, and Maggie, Tracey and John split up to look for him. In the dream world, Freddy controls the action with an old-fashioned Atari 2600 joystick, where a digital version of Spencer's father torments him. Tracey and John go to sleep and find Freddy, and Tracey kicks the joystick out of Freddy's hands, only for Freddy to wield his version of the Nintendo Power Glove and regain control while shutting and locking the door. In the real world, Maggie finds Spencer jumping up and down and running around against his own will. In the dream world, a sprite figure of Freddy pushes Spencer into a pit of sprites resembling Spencer's father, which causes Spencer to fall down the stairs and into a vortex in the real world, killing him. Freddy then appears and absorbs Spencer's soul.
