• Fanedit Title: A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 - the Baliscon Cut

• Original Movie Title: A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

• Original Release Date: August 19, 1988

• Original Runtime: 1 Hour and 33 Minutes

• Fanedit Release Date: March 10, 2025

• Fanedit Running Time: 1 hour, 24 minutes

• Time Removed/Added: 9 minutes cut

• Synopsis: The dream demon Freddy Krueger is resurrected from his apparent demise, and rapidly tracks down all three of the surviving Elm Street kids.

• Intentions: After editing the first three Freddy Krueger movies, I wasn't sure whether I'd continue. I didn't remember the rest of the series being as impressive as the first three, but upon another review, I realized parts 4 & 5 contained some of the most memorable dream sequences in the series. Much like the other films, I focused on making the tone darker and the logic more consistent. I won't be returning to Freddy's Dead though - I consider that film to be more of a parody than a serious installment and I've scavenged the strongest bits for parts 4 and 5.
