Behind-the-scenes tidbits of Menggui Street

Wes Craven, the director, was often bullied by a boy named Freddy when he was a child, so the boy's name appeared in the film. The director wanted to make the image of Freddy very scary, but later he gave up because of the makeup artist's opposition. There is a torn poster of the evil dead in the movie. In order to get the role of Nancy, 200 actresses auditioned, including demi moore, Tracy Gold and Courtney Cox. The poster on Johnny Depp's bedside wall is the album cover of Grace under Pressure by Canadian rock band Rush. Johnny Depp accompanied his friend Jackie Earle Haley to audition for the film, but it was filmed by director wes Craven. This film became Johnny Depp's first film. There is a big sink under Nancy's bathtub. Heather Langenkamp, who plays Nancy, filmed 12 hours in the water. This film is the first real film produced by New Line Company. The film almost died in the process of shooting, because in the middle of shooting, New Line Company terminated its agreement with the original distributor, and all the actors and crew suspended their work for two weeks. The film saved the new line company from bankruptcy. 500 gallons of fake blood were used in the movie. The movie Nancy watched to stay awake was the evil death in 198 1, which should be a movie trailer. Director wes Craven's wife plays a nurse in the film. Freddie's coat is red and green, because wes Craven knows these two colors are the most eye-catching. Nancy wore short-sleeved pajamas when she looked at her watch, but in the subsequent close-up, blue long-sleeved cuffs were revealed. In all scenes, Freddie wears gloves in his right hand, but in the scene of chasing Nancy, a quick flash shows that he wears gloves in his left hand. Freddie could hear his voice when he was in the burning basement, but he didn't speak at all. Freddie in the fire was wearing a gas mask and apparently used body double. In order to wake herself up, Nancy kept time with her watch, but what really woke her up was the alarm clock beside her bed. When Nancy woke up from a nightmare in the clinic, some people said it would help her sleep, but Nancy's mother and nurse didn't talk.
