Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Heather Langencamp

Here we are on another Woman Crush Wednesday, my Little Monsters, and today’s wonderful Woman of Horror, as you can plainly see, is Heather Langencamp. Heather is an Oklahoma native, born and raised in Tulsa. She attended Holland Hall School in Tulsa, but would move to Washington D.C. where she would attend and graduate from The National School for Girls.

She returned in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), and again in 1994 for Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (aka. A Nightmare on Elmstreet 7: New Nightmare/New Nightmare.) She also was the narrator of, and appeared in, the 2010 documentary about the Nightmare
