NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3, A: DREAM WARRIORS (1987) - Set of Five Hand-Drawn Larry Nikolai Freddy Puppet and Skeleton Concept Sketches - Five puppet dream concept sketches hand-drawn by Larry Nikolai for the production of Chuck Russell's A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) transformed from a puppet only to puppet Phillip Anderson (Bradley Gregg) to his own death, and killed Lieutenant Donald Thompson (John Saxon) by transforming into a skeleton. Both sequences were created using stop-motion animation designed by Doug Beswick Productions, for whom Nikolai was a production illustrator.

This set consists of two concept sketches of the Freddy puppet and three sketches of the Freddy skeleton, all of which are rendered in graphite and colored pencil on hole-punched drawing paper dated "86" and signed by Nikolai. Several are labeled "Elm St. III" and included handwritten annotations regarding the stop-motion process. The paper exhibits smudging and yellowing from age. Dimensions: (largest) 11" x 17" (28 cm x 43.25 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
