General "Did you Know?"s

Following up to gamemaster's post. If you look at the poster for the first Nightmare film really closely you can see that Freddy's hand in the poster is entirely different from what was in the finished film. Originally, Freddy's gloves hands were originally to have a mixture of different things. Such as skeleton bones for the outside look, the sharp end of knifes for the knife, and the look of tiger claws for the hands. The finished look of the hand is much different from what was seen in the poster for the first Nightmare film.

Freddy's hand cam be seen dragging Jason's mask into the grounds of hell in "Jason goes to hell". Setting up the idea of Freddy Vs Jason(since Jason goes to hell was originally to be the finale for the Friday the 13th series). Although, creative differences prevented the film from getting made during the 80s. New Line cinemas was not sure if the time was right for a crossover between both Friday and nightmare.

While being on the subject of horror. Did you know, that during development of The Shining, Stephen King considered Harrison Ford to play as Jack before Jack Nicholson took the role. While filming Shining, Kubrick's perfectionism had pushed Scatman Crothers limit and made the actor broke down in tears. Crothers who was aging couldn't take the stress that Kubrick was giving to him. He later took Jack Nicholson's advice to take it easy for the actor(since Jack was good friends with Scatman)
