Heather Langenkamp is one of the horror genre’s biggest icons. Although her resume doesn’t have much going towards quantity, she did go for quality with her portrayal as Nancy Thompson – one of the most beloved final girls of the genre.
The character was pitted against Freddy Krueger in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street and only returned for one other sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. This is about to change, however, as Langenkamp is returning for a new fan film titled Don’t Fall Asleep.
Langenkamp will be narrating the fan film which is set to have Diandra Lazor play the onscreen role of Nancy. The film will be taking place between the original movie and Part 3, and indicate what Nancy was up to during Part 2 which focused on an entirely different set of protagonists.
The actress did return to the franchise in Wes Craven’s New Nightmare in 1994, but she played a fictionalized version of herself as opposed to playing Nancy.
You can watch Don’t Fall Asleep in its entirety in the video below.
