Hi. y ou've reached
the Englund residence.
:58:07
We're out of toWn.
:58:09
y ou can leave a message
if you Wish, but...
:58:11
We'll be gone for some time.
:58:37
I Wish I could tell you
Where the script Was going.
:58:39
The fact is I don't knoW.
:58:41
I dream a scene at night,
I Write it doWn in the morning.
:58:45
Beyond that, your guess is as
good as mine Where it's going.
:58:47
At least tell me
What it's about so far.
:58:51
- Coffee.
- Thanks.
:58:53
I can tell you What
the nightmare's about so far.
:58:56
It's about this entity...
Whatever you Want to call it.
:59:00
It's old. It's very old.
:59:02
It's existed in different forms
in different times.
:59:06
The only thing that stays
the same is What it lives for.
:59:09
What is that?
:59:11
The murder of innocents.
:59:13
This is still a script
We're talking about, right, Wes?
:59:18
I sort of think of it
as a nightmare in progress.
:59:22
In this nightmare in progress...
:59:24
does this thing
have any Weaknesses?
:59:26
It can be captured sometimes.
:59:28
Captured? HoW?
:59:30
By storytellers, of all things.
:59:33
Every so often, they imagine
a story good enough...
:59:36
to sort of catch its essence.
:59:38
Then, for a While,
it's held prisoner in the story.
:59:41
- Like the genie in the bottle.
- Exactly.
:59:45
But the problem comes
When the story dies.
:59:47
And that can happen
in a lot of Ways.
:59:49
It can get too familiar...
:59:50
or somebody Waters it doWn
to make it an easier sell...
:59:53
or maybe it's so upsetting
that it's banned outright.
:59:58
HoWever it happens,
When the story dies...
