    Do you think the psyche hospital in A Nightmare on Elm street 3 was sued?

    There were a number of deaths in the span of less than a week plus at the end you just know that a room full of dead people were found after the survivors woke up after fighting off Freddy. I imagine that there were a whole lot of lawsuits.

    Also in A Nightmare on Elm street 4 didn't Alice's older brother act just like Christian Slater? he also vaguely looks like him to. It's almost like they wanted him for the part but couldn't get him. I had a Nightmare on Elm street marathon last night and these were the thoughts that were going through my mind after watching them for the hundreth time

    That actually kind of brings me to an underlying issue I've always had with horror films--logically you'd expect any survivors would have A LOT of explaining to do to the authorities

    You can't really start using logic in horror movies. Most of them anyway. Even some of the greats.

    There was a whole subplot to The Exorcist that was left out of the film where Regan was sneaking out at night and leading black masses, taking part in church desecrations and several ritual murders. The police detective ultimately knew that she was involved but they kept the investigation to just the death of the film director, in the film version, which is ultimately easy enough to let go as a suicide. He still somehow suspected that she was involved with that too though in the film it's less supported (the black mass killings were done in the same way, head turned around backwards). A lot of these unused ideas went into making the third film.

    Although, by this point, the movie audience has bought into the idea of possession, it might be harder to justify certain behaviors or inaction with more real life stuff.

    Likewise. Sometimes it doesn't bother me, but a lot of times in the back of my mind I think about what happens to the character after the credits roll. "Oh Officer, yeah, my friend just came back to life and I had to shoot him in the head"

    I found the sequel to Laid to Rest did a little bit of follow up on the events of the first, with the police investigation and all. Not too in depth but it was interesting.

    The house in dead alive burned down... though there would still be a few charred skeletons. Oh well the story ends when the credits roll.
