Nightmare on Elm Street & Family Guy Art Recreates Iconic Freddy Kill
A clever piece of fan art recreates a famous scene from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors with Family Guycharacters. By the time Family Guy started airing in 1999, Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger had already become a household name. After appearing in Wes Craven’s 1984 movie A Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy quickly became one of the biggest icons of the horror genre, with multiple films and TV shows mentioning or even parodying the events of the movies.
All seven original Nightmare on Elm Street movies came out before Family Guy’s debut, and 2022 marks the 35th anniversary for the third installment, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Along with being considered the fan favorite of the franchise, Dream Warriors is notable for its unique and often gory Freddy kills. One of the movie’s infamous deaths occurs in the TV room at Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital. Jennifer (Penelope Sudrow) is trying to stay awake by watching TV and burning herself with cigarettes, but she eventually succumbs to sleep and dreams about Freddy killing Zsa Zsa Gabor. Thinking she has woken up, Jennifer approaches the TV as a mechanical Freddy lifts her into the air and says, “welcome to prime time b*tch” before smashing her into the screen.
