New Line Home Video included this script on the DVD release in 2000. It is available here in <a title=\"PDF format\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acrobat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PDF format<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Wes Craven opted not to participate in the first sequel to <em>A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em>, New Line Cinema approached then-employee David Chaskin to write the story. &#8220;I sat down and thought about what scares me, what makes me feel creepy and tried to wrap that around the already frightening Freddy Krueger,&#8221; Chaskin said. Chaskin drafted a 15-page treatment in three days and, after it was approved, spent the next two months refining his script. (<em>Fangoria<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I just thought it would be fun for Freddy to have a human avatar that&#8217;s actually doing stuff in the real world,&#8221; explained Chaskin of the film&#8217;s premise. &#8220;That was where I took off from: possession. Jesse was this nerdy outcast and Freddy is taking over, about to take him on this ride. The whole movie is the ride Freddy takes him [on].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chaskin also sought to explore Freddy&#8217;s character more and give him a personality. &#8220;[In] the first [film], you didn&#8217;t see anything of Freddy\u2014you saw him in the shadows, he barely said a word,&#8221; claimed Chaskin. &#8220;We tried to make Freddy a little more talkative. At the time, horror movie villains\u2014Jason, Michael Myers\u2014didn&#8217;t talk. Freddy talked; he had a black sense of humor.&#8221; (<em>Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy&#8217;s Revenge<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nScript by David Chaskin<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/Files\/nightmare-on-elm-street-2-script.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 1px solid silver;\" title=\"A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge Script\" src=\"http:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/image\/nightmareonelmstreet2freddysrevengescript-profile.jpg\" alt=\"A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge Script\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p><strong>Excerpts<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style='border-bottom:1px white solid;width:100%;'><\/div>\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<blockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"><p>We hear an awful sound from somewhere\u2014WOOD RIPPING.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse makes his way cautiously along the side of the house.<\/p>\n<p>He notices a red-orange LIGHT is flickering from behind a cellar window.
