A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is the third film in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, released in 1987.Freddy is still plaguing the dreams of the teens of Springwood. Their condition is thought to be psychological, and several of them have been placed in a psychiatric hospital. Nancy Thompson, the Final Girl of the first film, joins the hospital staff, planning to help the kids to realize powers within their dreams and become the Dream Warriors to defeat Freddy.Following the mixed reception of Freddy's Revenge, New Line managed to convince Wes Craven back to write a sequel that makes no mention of the events of the second film and brings back the protagonist of the original feature, Nancy Thompson. The film added more dark humor into the Elm Street formula by having Freddy make jokes and one-liners about his victims' plights, an aspect that would carry over into the subsequent sequels. It also establishes the pattern of Freddy tailor-making nightmares to play off each victim's unique fears and self-doubts. |

Arbitrary Skepticism |
| | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors / int_13eea985 |
comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: As unbelievable as a ghostly Serial Killer murdering teens in their sleep is, Dr. Elizabeth Simms assumes that their nightmares are all just "manifestations of guilt" and completely dismisses the fact that they are all having nightmares of the same menacing figure. The fact that she continuously denies such things even as the bodies pile up is even more damning. |

Philip isn't allowed to have a knife to make his sculptures, for fear he might cut himself. |

comment |
Kick the Dog: Not only does Freddy kill Donald, but he disguises himself as him in order to fool Nancy into entering his Deadly Hug. What makes it particularly malicious is that he quite obviously knew how much he meant to her and was able to convincingly portray him, and that (his ability to take on the appearances of others aside) the idea of Donald's spirit appearing in the dream world before moving on is not as far-fetched as it appears at first glance, so that the viewer could be as fooled as she was until The Reveal. |

Neil initially believed the "attempted suicides" story, but after Phillip and Jennifer's deaths, he questions the plausibility of it all and listens to whatever Nancy has to say. |

Drowning My Sorrows: We meet Donald doing this in a bar called Little Nemo's. He's also ditched his police lieutenant uniform for a security guard outfit, so it's likely he's fallen on hard times since the first movie. |

Not What It Looks Like: Kristen is at Westin Hills because her mother thinks she tried to kill herself. Other patients have similar stories. Of course, their "attempts" are really wounds from Freddy's attacks. |

Time Skip: At first, it appears to be this. This entry, which came out in 1987, takes place six years after the first, released in 1984. However, the first one actually takes place in 1981, because of the fourth and fifth films setting themselves in 1988 and 1989 respectively. This also means that the film does not contradict Freddy's Revenge, which takes place five years after the first film. |

Took a Level in Dumbass: While Nancy is one of the more competent characters in this movie, she very easily fell for Freddy posing as her Father to kill her. Even though in the first movie she has seen him imitate her friends and loved ones before. Will and Taryn. Unlike Kincaid, Nancy, and Kristen, who opt to look for one another, these two decide to fight Freddy on their own. They don't win. Will especially fails hard since he decided to rush Freddy even though he had him somewhat at bay with his magic and had a ranged advantage. |

Idiot Ball: The reaction to the on-screen deaths rely on this. Phillip "sleepwalked" his way out of a secured area? Jennifer rammed her head into a TV mounted about six to eight inches higher than her actual height without a chair? Neil is the only one without any Freddy experience that views these acts as more than suicide. This is so he can take Nancy's advice and try unauthorized action that ultimately gets them both relieved of duty, kicking off the rest of the story. |

Covers Always Lie: The cover has: Taryn with white '80s Hair rather than the black spiked mohawk and what looks to be daggers rather than switchblades; a male character wielding a metal mace although no such weapon appears in the film; a girl in the who middle seems to be a combination of Nancy and Kristen, with Kristen's long hair but Nancy's skunk stripe that goes down the middle of the hair; and Kincaid carrying a black billy club/baton even though he has no weapons. (It is of course possible this artwork was based on an earlier version of the script wherein the characters and/or their weapons and powers were different.) |

What Happened to the Mouse? |
| | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors / int_863fa679 |
comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The movie makes no reference to the fate of Jesse and Lisa, the surviving protagonists of the second movie, and who had been attacked by Freddy in the final scene. In fact, this movie, as well as almost every sequel, makes no reference to Freddy's Revenge events. You can imagine that Nancy, who no longer lived in the old neighborhood, may never have heard of the events, but at the same time it's hard to believe that she hadn't paid attention to any news that might signal Krueger's return. It would take 18 years until finally a sequel, Freddy vs. Jason, mention the events of Freddy's Revenge and confirm them as part of the franchise canon (The end titles of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare also features footage from Freddy's Revenge). |

Black Dude Dies First |
| | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors / int_9788e2b1 |
comment |
Black Dude Dies First: Perhaps surprisingly for a 1980's slasher flick, completely averted. Both black characters survive the entire film, and one of them never even finds out the truth about Freddy. |

Knife Fight |
| | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors / int_9c20a410 |
comment |
When Freddy goes after Taryn, a short Knife Fight ensues where she actually seems to genuinely hurt him. She was beating him at his own game. And then Freddy produces a load of syringes and pumps blue crap into her arms, killing her with an overdose.note Interesting sidenote: Taryn actress Jennifer Rubin apparently received letters from drug addicts who were inspired to kick their habits because they watched this scene. |

The End... Or Is It? |
| | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors / int_9e86e227 |
comment |
The End... Or Is It?: The closing scene shows one of the windows in the replica of the 1428 Elm Street house lighting up. Possibly subverted in that it's implied to be Nancy's spirit rather than Freddy's, and indeed the following movie has him resurrected without any connection to this scene. |

Karma Houdini: Dr. Simms, despite technically being the one responsible for the kid's horrific deaths (sedating them so Freddy can kill them), gets absolutely no comeuppance whatsoever, which is unusual for a character like this in a horror movie. Her behavior, denying the bizarre nature of the kids' situation, even led some people into thinking she was in league with Freddy, but if she was, nothing was ever said. |

Hope Spot: When Freddy goes after Taryn, a short Knife Fight ensues where she actually seems to genuinely hurt him. She was beating him at his own game. And then Freddy produces a load of syringes and pumps blue crap into her arms, killing her with an overdose.note Interesting sidenote: Taryn actress Jennifer Rubin apparently received letters from drug addicts who were inspired to kick their habits because they watched this scene. During the battle between Freddy and Will, Will uses his magic to destroy the wheelchair that Freddy was using to attack and Freddy gets a look of disbelief and possibly worry on his face, leading viewers to think that Freddy may be vulnerable to Will's magic. Freddy is immune to Will's power and kills him quite quickly. Nancy joyously declares that "It's over!" after Joey utilizes his dream power and is visited by her father in the dream to declare that he has to cross over and is sorry for what he did to her and tells her how much he loves her. Turns out that her "father" is actually Freddy and Freddy then murders Nancy. |

Neil soon proves to be one when he believes Nancy and helps the kids to control their dreams to fight Freddy. Max also allows Jennifer to stay up past curfew when he sees how terrified she is, though she still dies. He does interfere with Nancy's attempt to help Kristen, but it's clear he genuinely cares for the kids and thinks he's doing the right thing. |

Kincaid gets Super-Strength, Taryn turns into a badass punk chick with two switchblades and the skill to use them, Will can turn into a wizard straight out of his Tabletop Games, and Joey gets something like a sonic scream. Kristen...can do gymnastics. Kristen's real dream power was always her ability to draw others into her own dreams; the gymnastics were a secondary power. It's still better than Nancy, who doesn't get any dream powers, even though the first movie established she was capable of setting up complex traps incredibly quickly in the dream world. Dream powers are established as something that everyone has, it's simply the ability of "what you can do in your dreams". Kristen's ability to draw others into dreams (Dream Master) is an exclusive power to her that can only be passed on to others and so it isn't a "dream power". The dream power of gymnastics is still weaksauce. |

I'm Not Afraid of You: This film suggests it's actually Freddy's belief that trumps this trope: |

Determinator: Nancy herself, obviously, but also Neil who, despite getting beaten up and then knocked out with a shovel by Freddy's skeleton, manages to wake up, get the bones into the grave, and give him the Last Rites to put an end to him. Badass. |

Groin Attack: When Don gets clawed by Freddy's skeleton, it at first looks like he was stabbed in the stomach, but when the skeleton lifts him up, it reveals he got it in the balls. When Neil tries to sedate Kristen when she first arrives at Westin Hills, she kicks him right in the crotch to get him to back off. |

comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: Fittingly for a movie that has the teenagers role play badass versions of themselves in the dream world, with one of them being a D&D enthusiast. Will, said D&D fan, is obviously the Mage, with Kincaid and his Super-Strength being the Fighter and Taryn the knife user being the Thief. |

| | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors / int_f97df10b |
comment |
The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): Not just Nancy, but Phillip as well. He seems to be the Only Sane Man and calmly points out the faults in the Doctor's beliefs in the cause of the deaths. As well as the fact that they all dreamed about Freddy. To top it off Phillip is the first onscreen death of the movie. |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Elizabeth Simms and Donald Thompson. In the case of Simms, although she doesn't believe them about Freddy, as a doctor she genuinely cares about her patients and is worried about their mental health. In Donald's case, he's trying to protect his daughter from Krueger and bury the past even though it's clear that it's crippling him. When Neil accuses him of not caring about Nancy, he slaps his arms away from him (Neil slams him against a wall earlier) showing clearly that he does care. |
