The Original "Nightmare on Elm Street" Quiz

Answer: Crucifix

Nancy and Glen were spending the night with Tina at her home. Tina was really freaked out by a dream she had and asked the two to stay. Nancy was sleeping in Tina's bed when the crucifix fell off the wall. The wall behind Nancy started to expand outwards toward her. Freddy was trying to come out of the wall to attack Nancy. Nancy heard something behind her and the figure went back into the wall. Nancy turned around to look at the wall and it was back to its normal shape. Nancy knocked on the wall and it was solid. Nancy then placed the crucifix back on the wall.

Answer: Freddy told Tina to watch as he cut off his own fingers.

This was the second dream Tina had about Freddy. He was taunting her while he chased her through the alley. Tina made it to her backyard when Freddy suddenly appeared from behind a tree. He told Tina to watch as she cut off his last two fingers with his knife glove. Freddy laughed as he cut off his fingers. Freddy attacked Tina as she was transfixed at what Freddy had just done to himself.

Answer: Sheep

Tina was running away from Freddy when a sheep appeared. The sheep made a "baaing" sound which is really what startled her. The sheep then ran off and Tina continued to be taunted by Freddy. The film offered a lot of different experiences that had not been seen in the genre yet.

The addition of what is considered a gentle creature in a nightmare is just one example. The sheep was barely visible and that made it seem menacing. Plus the fact that the sheep seemed to come out of nowhere added to the effect it had on Tina.

Answer: Tina thought an earthquake was about to happen.

Tina, Nancy, and Glen were all in front of their high school. Tina was telling Nancy about the dream she had the previous night. The bell rang and Glen ran off to get to class. Tina told Nancy that maybe a really big earthquake was about to happen. She said things get really weird right before an earthquake. Nancy and Tina both laughed at her suggestion. The two then went to class.

Answer: An airport

Tina had Nancy and Glen spending the night with her. Tina told Nancy she could not believe Glen's mom was letting him spend the night. Nancy told Tina that Glen lied to his mom and told her he was at his cousin's house. Barry's house was always noisy because he lived by an airport. Rod, Tina's boyfriend, had made a mix tape of airplane noises for Glen. Glen called his mom and played the tape in the background.

He told his mom it was noisy as normal at his cousin's house. Glen was about to hang up the phone when the tape went from airplane noises to drag racing.

It got progressively worse from there until Glen stopped the tape. Tina and Nancy were both laughing hysterically while Glen just hung his head.

Answer: Switchblade

Glen and Tina heard a noise in her backyard. Nancy went along with them as they investigated what was making the noise. Glen was calling out for what he hoped was either a dog or a cat. He turned to the girls who were behind him. He shrugged because he did not know what the sound was. Suddenly Rod tackled Glen from behind which startled Nancy and Tina as well as Glen. Rod asked what was going on and Glen made a rude reply. Rod then pulled a switchblade on Glen. Nancy went over took the blade from Rod and told him it was just a sleepover.

Answer: Two decorative metal peacocks

Tina and Rod were in her mom's bedroom. The two had just reconciled from a fight they were having. Rod revealed to Tina that he was having nightmares too. Tina had fallen asleep and was deep in her nightmare. She started screaming for Rod to help her. Rod removed the sheet covering Tina and she rose up into the air.

As Tina rose up, we saw the two metal peacocks on the walls. The pieces were the kind of art that was prevalent in the 1970s. The pieces were placed on the wall a little above each other as if they were looking at one another. Tina was killed by Freddy and her blood covered the entire room including the peacocks.

Answer: Law enforcement

Nancy was sitting in an office with her mom, Marge. A police officer entered the office and asked why Nancy was at Tina's house. Marge replied, "Hello to you too, Donald." It was then revealed that the police officer was Nancy's dad. He again asked Nancy why she was shacked up with several other teenagers. She told her father she was staying the night with Tina because Tina was frightened by the nightmares she was having. Nancy's dad was in charge of the murder investigation of Tina and then later Rod and Glen.

John Saxon played the role of Donald Thompson. He was brought into the film to bring some star power to the film. This was revealed by Wes Craven in one of his interviews. John reprised his role in two additional "Nightmare" films.

Answer: Shirt

Nancy was walking to school the day after Tina was murdered. She noticed a man standing behind her in a suit and glasses. She kept walking and turned around again to see if the man was still there. He was no longer there, but as Nancy turned back around Rod grabbed her. He was hiding in some bushes when he grabbed Nancy. Rod was not wearing a shirt. He had left Tina's house in a hurry the night before. Nancy's father came into the bushes to arrest Rod. Nancy jumped in his way so Rod got away. The police soon apprehended Rod and placed him in jail.

Rod spent the night with Tina the night of her death. He slept in his white cotton briefs only. Glen and Nancy could hear him yelling through the closed door of Tina's bedroom. It seemed like he was screaming at Tina.
