Same, I just assumed she either didn’t like the movie or didn’t like the experience of making it.

@@jalenjohnson1662 We also know why she was recast in Nightmare 4 due to choices she made that went against what they wanted and not being able to handle certain effects that made her body hurt. I guess they just found her difficult to work with.

​@devontehuntley6274 She didn't want to be typecast and wanted to become a serious actress. She was pregnant with her first child and also working on a different film when N4 was discussed and later released

@@EdwardC.WilliamsII Yeah, she was gonna be typecasted after TWO damn roles as a heroine in a horror movie at a very young age in her career, one in which she would only be in halfway through before being killed off, had she returned in the fourth one. Boy bye. She still had a number of years to do other things and transition into a variety of roles. For the time being, you get what you can while the offer is there because many other actors are fighting for roles and they're not easy to get. But she wasn't in the fourth one because of how difficult producers found her to be in the third one. Thats clear in this interview right here when she even states she had no idea the role was gonna be recast as if she was open to doing it again. Given the issues she had during making the third one, it makes sense. She was being yelled at during various takes of how she would do things and also had gotten ill during a scene and reshoots when a smoke effect got too much on her body to handle. Given the stunts Tuesday Knight does in the fourth one that is a bit more extreme than what Patricia did here, I could see the makers being concerned with how Patricia would handle it. So her not being in that movie had nothing to do with her own personal situation or feelings on the experience. If she was pregnant or had some other role but was able to play Kristen again, I'm sure the filmmakers would have worked around her schedule. Kristen had half a role here so that already limits the number of days she would even be needed for than in the third one where she was the main character all the way through.

I also heard that since it was her debut they found she lack experience and tried to recast her on noes 3.

Same here 😂 she was 19, i was 16 when i saw the movie for the first time .

She's still the same person lol

@@adriankasan6344 Yeah but sometimes people`s voices deepen over the years, she still sounds girlish

@@adamwatson2914- Her voice is definitely deeper now. You must not have seen the movie in awhile?? It’s rare for women in their mid 50’s to still sound 19.

Yeah I can hear thanks, but she still has the same cadence and the way she phrases her words, it’s cute

maybe. or maybe she just wanted to do something else instead.

I read a printed interview one time where Patricia reiterated that she enjoyed the experience. I think she was simply looking to upgrade her career and was probably worried about typecasting. She wanted meatier roles, and had the talent and connections to make that happen. That’s really the biggest reason she turned down Elm Street 4.

@@finster1968 It was good that she did. One Elm Street movie for her was enough. And they ran that series into the ground. It just got dumber and dumber.

@@Laidengizer011 - Agreed. I’m still a big fan of the franchise. But yeah, it got too ridiculous. Parts 5 and 6 were some of the most awful cinema I’ve ever seen.

@@finster1968 6 was an absolute disgrace. They completely s*** all over Wes Craven's creation. It was more of a slapstick comedy at that point. Never should have been made. But yeah, those ones past Dream Warriors were just cash grabs. They just couldn't let that box office revenue go.

Yes, that’s her brother. Same family of actors.

People do age, it’s a fact of life, at least they haven’t had work done that makes them look like most Hollywood actresses that all look like the joker

she's aged naturally and hasn't messed her face up. She looks beautiful

​@@helixmoore7636Yes I'm glad she didn't have surgery. You supposed to age gracefully.

You can’t ruin something that you’re not a part of. If you feel that way, the blame goes to her replacement.

Her absence was very noticeable and the movie felt distinctly off for it, but then again if she had been in it it would have been worse to have seen the actually Kristen die
