Mike Flanagan Reveals What Slasher Franchise He Would Like To Direct After Signing On To The Exorcist

Freddy Krueger on fire in A Nightmare on Elm Street

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mike Flanagan reveals what slasher franchise he would like to direct after signing on to The Exorcist. One of the biggest names in horror, Flanagan is known for writing and directing the acclaimed films Absentia, Oculus, Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald's Game, and Doctor Sleep – and creating the Netflix horror series The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and The Fall of the House of Usher.

On X, formerly Twitter, the filmmaker responded, "A guy can dream" to a Nightmare on Elm Street fan poster featuring Freddy Kreuger's face and Flanagan's name. As a straight slasher, Nightmare on Elm Street may fall a little out of Flanagan's wheelhouse. However, the franchise's focus on the supernatural is more up Flanagan's alley. If he were to make a Nightmare on Elm Street movie, it would likely emphasize the surreal and psychological aspects of dreams and nightmares, delving deeper into the psyche of both Freddy Krueger and his victims, exploring their fears and traumas in a more profound way.
