In November 1978, he travels to Guyana to visit Johnsontown in the hopes that nothing wrong is going on.

Adding more Nightmare on Elm Street

Added DiffLines:

** ''Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare'' - Freddy uses the protagonist's Cassandra Truth to further the plot. No one believes the protagonist despite an entire town full of dead children.
** ''Film/WesCravensNewNightmare'' - Heather Langenkamp pulls double duty trying to convince everyone that not only is Freddy back from the dead, but he's come out of the movies to attack her son.
** ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' - A subverted trope, since almost all the adults know about Freddy, but they can't act like they believe the children, or else the "Freddy virus" will spread more easily.
** ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet2010'' - No one believes Nancy again.
