An interesting viral site for New Line’s NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET has just opened up. If you head on over to KeepHerAwake.com, you’ll be invited to play a game of, well, “Keep The Girl Awake Before Freddy Gets Her.”

The object is to prevent the lovely lass from nodding off. Some of these methods are obvious, such as giving her caffeine pills or making her chug an energy drink. Some are a bit nasty, like making her burn or cut herself. And yet others involve making her pounce on her bed or do jumping jacks (yeah, I tried those first). What happens if she falls asleep? Well… you’ll just have to find out for yourself, won’t ya?
