I finished reading Rosemary's Baby, so I watched the film to see the accuracy between both. Besides some minor changes, the film follows the book faithfully. At the end of the book, Rosemary drugs a female character with sleeping medication. The film has nobody watching Rosemary before she enters Roman's and Minnie's apartment. We also know that Rosemary will raise the baby at the end of the film, but in the book, there is more detail from that final scene. Everyone screams "hail satan, hail Rosemary." In the film it's only "Hail satan" and Rosemary and Roman actually have a little argument over the baby's name, which Rosemary wins since she is the mother.
The LITEST scene from the book is when they do the ritual on her where the devil smashes. They really name-dropped the pope and Jackie Kennedy as characters as part of that Illuminati shyt. The crazy thing is that they're in the film too
. They list Jackie's character in the film as "woman" though, but clearly, the character's image is in Jackie's likeness. I bet people were pissed off back then, but the outrage today would be wild.

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors was my personal favorite growing up. Outside of Craven's directed films, this has the best cast in the NoES series. Honestly, this movie would have benefited more as a series itself than as a stand-alone film. There was too much potential not reached due to time limitations.
All these directors did fukk up Wes Craven's vision though
. There's a tone with the series and Freddy's character Craven portrays that the other directors can't replicate. Films 2-6 are the ones where you just put on for fukkery purposes while you smoke. The first and New Nightmare brings an aura that demands to be taken seriously.
I don’t know whose decision it was but I think Nancy dying at the end of 3 was so lame, nor did it hold any weight lol for someone being the main character of the series
