jumpscare. freddy krueger and donald thompson (yea that cop dad from 1 and 3 movie)

[dalekofchaos]

Context for choice 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8. Also I realize I messed up and meant Freddy's Revenge, not Freddy'd Dead

In general, watch this video on all the cancelled

Prequel. So there are two cancelled prequel pitches and my idea for a potential Hannibal type prequel show.

John Saxon's Elm Street prequel concept

My little idea for a Hannibal esque prequel. Make it a cat and mouse chase between Donald Thompson and Freddy. We see Donald attempt to catch the Springwood Slasher, all the parents are heartbroken over the dead children and flashes of Freddy’s childhood and how he started. We don’t see Freddy kill the children, we see Freddy talking to and abducting the children and gives the tone that he killed and molested the kids. The last episode of the first season has Thompson capturing Freddy. The second season is his trial. That season ends with Freddy getting off. And the final season is about Thompson and the parents of Springwood hunting and killing Freddy. I would include would be that specific deleted scene that Tina, Rod, Glen and Nancy all had siblings killed by Freddy would be the foundation of it. Maybe even have the jump rope girls be ghosts of his first victims

Peter Jackson's pitch. Peter Jackson's Elm Street 6 was to reduce Freddy to a joke. no longer a threat to be taken seriously, much like how the character was being recognized in the real world at the time. Freddy is now so weak and pathetic that the teens on Elm Street take sleeping pills just to go into the dream world and beat up on him just for fun. Only one teen slips up, giving Freddy the upper hand at the cost of his life. Invigorated by his first kill in ages, Freddy becomes a real threat again, inducing fear and harvesting its energy. Eventually, he gains enough power to hold a police officer hostage in the dream world (and comatose in the real world). This forces one of the lead characters, whose father is a police officer, to enter Freddy's domain, rescue his father, and finally put an end to Freddy.

Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. It's basically the plot of the graphic novel with Ash killing Freddy and Jason being frozen in Crystal Lake. aaand New Line did not want that.

Beautiful Dream. Okay this was inspired by Leon Thomas video. Okay now deleted video. The basic premise is Nancy is dying and the only way she can be saved is Kristen puts Nancy in a "Beautiful dream" in Leon Thomas video, he proposed New Nightmare was Nancy's Beautiful Dream. However in my version it would be this, inspire by this fanfic.

Nancy Lantz has the perfect life. Her parents are both alive and happily married; she has a budding new career as a child psychologist; she has married her high school sweetheart, Glen; and she is pregnant with their first child, Dylan. Unfortunately for Nancy, a sinister phantasm has begun to plague her dreams, and very soon, it will escape into the waking world, threatening to turn Nancy's beautiful dream into the darkest nightmare. This leads Alice Johnson and her son Jacob, Dr Neil Gordon, Maggie, Doc and Tracey banding together fighting to save Nancy and it would ideally end with Nancy landing the killing blow on Freddy.

Robert Englund's pitch for an Nightmare On Elm Street reboot

"the children of previous victims, or just kids who grew up hearing stories about Freddy Krueger, were each haunted by their own version of Freddy Krueger.”

“Kids who grew up hearing stories about this Freddy Krueger guy and the awful things he did envisioned him in their own way, and that is the version that begins to haunt them. Some people may picture him as stout, another might envision him as tall and thin, another with a different hat, or a different sweater.

“He could have different gloves, or even a glove with small razor blades as referred to in the first movie. It would be neat to see very different interpretations of Freddy Krueger based on the child’s vision of who or what Freddy was to them. After all, each person’s subconscious would picture him in a totally different way.”

“I would have cast different actors to play Freddy for every potential victim,” “Because Freddy is only alive in the imagination of his future victim. They would talk about it at a slumber party or in a locker room at school, or on the bus going home. All we know about this Fred Krueger is he wears a hat, wears a red and green striped sweater and has a clawed hand. That’s the specifics.” “So it could be a red and green cardigan for one Freddy. It could be an old tattered baseball cap for another Freddy. Freddy could be tall, he could be short, he could be overweight, he could be muscular. Every one of the victims could have a different Freddy they imagined. And you could haunt them with that Freddy.” “And then at the end, it would be the ultimate victim and we see Freddy peel [his face] open and maybe it’s yours truly revealed. And it’s the essence of Freddy.”

The limited amount of Donald Ressler and Jack Thompson fanfics on here is extremely disappointing.

What's a girl gotta do to get absolutely smothered with affection from two agents whom she's obsessed with? I mean come on man!

Don Moynihan at Can We Still Govern?: At the Democratic National Convention, speaker after speaker sought to remind viewers of Project 2025. Jim Clyburn referred to it as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Cory Booker mocked it was “Project 1825” and “Project 1925.” Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow was one of many speakers who brought an enlarged version of the Mandate for Leadership document published by the Heritage Foundation that serves as the backbone to Project 2025. Trump’s campaign has falsely claimed that Project 2025 is dead, and in mailers to voters he has doubled down on his efforts to distance himself from it. (Note to Forbes and other media outlets who confuse repeating Trump’s lies with reporting: this is what you get — becoming a tool in his disinformation efforts).

Of course, Project 2025 very much remains alive and the most relevant way to understand how Trump would govern. At the convention, Tim Walz invoked Project 2025 when he said that “when somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re going to use it.” The comedian Kenan Thompson gave one of best summaries of the relationship between Trump and Project 2025:

[You know how when you download an app and there are hundreds of pages there that you don’t read. Its just the terms and conditions. And you just click agree, right? Well, these are the terms and conditions of a second Trump Presidency. You vote for him, you vote for all of this.]

Trump dislikes Project 2025 as a brand because it lays out a series of specifics about right wing policy goals, which, it turns out, are unpopular. There has been some schadenfreude in how Project 2025 has become baggage for the Trump campaign, and has in some ways backfired for the Heritage Foundation, who went from energetically promoting their ties to Trump to gingerly defending their efforts from Trump’s own campaign.

We got a glimpse about the scale and nature of these plans when some British undercover journalists performed a sting operation of Russ Vought. Vought is touted as a potential Chief of Staff in a second Trump administration. As a Trump official, he helped to cover up Trump’s withholding of arms to Ukraine, and aggressively pushed Trump’s plan to fire career civil servants. Out of office, he then complains about the weaponization of federal agencies without a trace of irony.

[...]

The Heritage Foundation been portrayed as the central player in Project 2025, deservedly so. But its role reflects a certain continuity of effort — it has been publishing Mandate for Leadership guides since Reagan — that understates the dramatic nature of the change that has taken place on the right. The Conservative Partnership Institute, which has played a less visible role in Project 2025, is more emblematic of the MAGAification of the conservative movement. A recent profile of CPI by Jonathan Blitzer in the New Yorker is eye-opening. CPI was created in 2017 by Jim DeMint, the Heritage Foundation leader who was pushed out for trashing Heritage’s reputation for credible research by making it more partisan and less serious. DeMint also aligned early with Trump, which some Heritage board members never forgave him for. CPI operates less like a think tank, where former Trump officials hang their hat, and more like a venture capital firm providing seed funding for MAGA-aligned organizations, as well as connections to other donors, and physical space to get a foothold in DC. These include:

Russ Vought’s Center for Renewing America

Stephen Miller’s America First Legal

The American Accountability Foundation, which ran attack campaigns against Biden nominees, and is currently compiling an enemies list of career civil servants

Cleta Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network. CPI had been deeply involved in election denial. It helped to organize efforts to disrupt the vote to confirm Biden’s election on January 6th. Mitchell a Secretary of CPI, was the lawyer who helped Trump with his call to Georgia officials asking them to fine more votes. She is organizing a network of legal challenges to block legitimate election outcomes this year.

The State Freedom Caucus Network, whose goal is to embed state versions of the House Freedom Caucus in every state

An API official said that in a speech at Mar-A-Lago: “Trump complained about his personnel. He said he had these bad generals, bad Cabinet secretaries. That was a big signal to the people there.” This is why there is such an intense focus on Schedule F, to fire civil servants, and building a pipeline of dedicated Trumpists as political appointees. Part of the function of CPI was to alter the incentives for Trump officials. A previous generation of conservative lawyers or other appointees might worry about their long-term career prospects for engaging in a little light treason. CPI has created an ecosystem existed to defend them (they have funded legal defenses for John Eastman, Peter Navarro, Mark Meadows and Jeffery Clark), to and to find them new roles after wrongdoing.

@Don Moynihan nails it: The “next phase” of Project 2025 contains plans we don’t even know about.

The Saturday Night Live version of the third Republican debate was more entertaining than the original. Though they missed an opportunity by leaving out Nikki Haley calling Vivek Ramaswamy "scum".

The Fulton County jail in Georgia could make history in the weeks ahead as the first institution to ever take a U.S. president's mugshot.

Driving The News: The local sheriff's office says it expects to book all 19 of those indicted this week on election-related charges — including former President Trump — at the notorious detention center, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The Big Picture: Trump has thus far avoided having his mugshot taken in his three other cases.

• He now faces a historic four indictments and 91 criminal charges — while also running for the GOP nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

• The newest indictment, which relies on state-level racketeering charges, said Trump and 18 other defendants "knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump."

Why It Matters: Trump and other powerful figures included in the indictment now face the prospect of being processed at a rough and overcrowded jail in Atlanta.

• Those figures include former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani — who as a federal prosecutor went after mobsters under the same type of racketeering law.

Context: The Fulton County jail, known among locals as "Rice Street," has been plagued with reports of dangerous conditions and detainee deaths.

• In July, the U.S. Justice Department announced an investigation into conditions at the jail following the death of Lashawn Thompson, who was found covered in bugs and filth.

• "It's miserable. It's cold. It smells. It's just generally unpleasant," longtime defense attorney Robert G. Rubin said of the jail, per the New York Times.

• Officers are being prosecuted for using excessive force at the jail as well, the DOJ said.

Between The Lines: Trump's Georgia trial is also the first one that could be televised, as Georgia law requires cameras be allowed during judicial proceedings with a judge's approval.

• A judge would have to be presented with a compelling reason to bar cameras.

Reality Check: An official mugshot could also be a boon to Trump's reelection campaign.

• After his first arrest in April, his campaign fundraised with fake mugshot merch.

What's Next: District Attorney Fani Willis proposed a Mar. 4 start date for the Georgia trial, meaning it would start one day before Super Tuesday, when many U.S. states hold primary elections.

• The arraignment should take place the week of Sept. 5, Willis said in the court filing.
