[edit] Past film references
- Lori lives at the home of the first female protagonist, Nancy Thompson of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
- Lori wears the same clothes the character Julie wore when Freddy killed her in Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
[edit] Relationships
- Will Rollins - Lori's boyfriend and the person she loves most of all. Though they never kiss in the theatrical version of the film, they kissed in two deleted scenes. He is very devoted to her. He was put in the Weston Hills Asylum and required to take Hypnocil on account of knowing about Freddy Krueger. Thanks to the help of his friend and roommate Mark Davis, he escapes and finds Lori.
- Gibb - Lori's best friend. Her boyfriend is Trey, who is the first victim of Jason Voorhees in the movie. Shortly after Trey's death, Gibb joined her high school friends at a rave, where she got drunk and conked out. While outcold, a raver in white hair and wearing dozens of rings and glowsticks starts making out with her. While dreaming, Gibb is stalked and cornered by Freddy Krueger, but is pierced in the abdomen (by Jason, who had impaled the raver and Gibb at the same time with a large piece of pipe), and then dies before Freddy could get a chance to kill her (This is also what set off the anticipated feud between Freddy and Jason).
- Kia - Lori's other best friend. She is portrayed as a go-getter in the film, but also suffered from self-loathing, as harshly pointed out by Linderman for insulting him too many times. When she bravely confronted Freddy to keep him away form Lori and Will (and even called his weapon a set of butterknives), she is killed by Jason.
- Trey - Gibb's boyfriend, and Blake's best friend. Has a very cocky attitude, and often showed limited respect for Gibb. He is the first person to be killed in the movie, by Jason.
- Blake - The boy who hit on Lori in the beginning of the movie, although she had no feelings for him. Kia wanted her to meet someone and forget Will, who disappeared long ago. After his best friend, Trey, was murdered, Blake swore revenge against Freddy. Before any chances of him trying again, Blake is murdered by Jason Voorhees. His dad is also decapitated moments before Blakes death. Blake would have been killed by Freddy himself had his powers not been weak from being in hell for so long, so Freddy let him go, and let Jason take the kill.
- Charlie Linderman - A young man who keeps getting picked on and tries to get Lori to like him. He loses his chances when he sees her and Will together. It is hinted out he and Kia liked each other, they kissed in a deleted scene, where he revealed his first name is Charlie. At the end he is killed by Jason.
- Freeburg - Friend to Lori, who is often seen smoking marijuana. After Linderman discovered the Hypnocil drug, he, Lori, Will, Kia, and Officer Stubbs, all rushed back to the Weston Hills Asylum to retrieve the drugs. While there, Freeburg get high off another drug, where Freddy Krueger takes the opportunity to possess him, dump all the hypnocil down the drain, and after Jason arrives at the asylum, and dopes him with two full tranqualizers. Before losing unconsciousness, Jason slices Freeburg in half with his machete.
- Mark Davis - Will's friend and roommate at the Weston Hills Asylum. He, like Will, also knew about Freddy Krueger, and had to stay in the asylum and take Hypnocil, but after escaping from the asylum with Will, and having no longer taken Hypnocil, Freddy Krueger was able to invade his dreams again. He was the first (and only) person to be killed by Freddy in the movie.
- Officer Stubbs - The police officer who is the first to be called to for help by Gibb and her friends after Trey is killed. Having just moved to Springwood, he had no idea about Freddy Krueger or his past crimes, until doing some research and finding out not only about Freddy Krueger, but that he was not responsible for the death of Trey. He told Lori and her friends about Krueger, and brought them to Weston Hills to retrieve the Hypnocil drug, but when Jason attacked, Stubbs took him on, but was killed when Jason first drove his machete into a control panel while trying to kill Stubbs, igniting several volts of electricity, and grabbed Stubbs, spreading the electricity onto Stubbs, and then throwing him into the electrifying control panel.
- Freddy Krueger- The main villain of the Elm Street movies. It is obvious she (Lori) hates him, as he ruined her past and killed her mother. Though Freddy hinted out constantly he was attracted to Lori. When she passed out at school, you can see silhouette of him in the window, apparently stalking her. When she fell asleep on the couch, he took the form of her father, called her an angel, and tongue kissed her in a sadistic way. He attempted to do it again in his true form saying "Your eyes say no-no, but my mouth says yes-yes". The next time she fell asleep, he appeared to her, raping a female counselor, hinting out he wants to rape Lori. When she grabs him, he falls and she is on top of him, in an appearance of having sex. He grabbed her face and stuck his tongue out, apparently trying to kiss her the same way again, then she ends up in front of dream version of her home, wearing a white nightgown with nothing underneath. Freddy states that he always had a thing for the whores that lived in her house. When she was knocked down, he clawed her chest in the breast area, finding some form of sexual attraction from it, he calls her a bitch, then comes close to her face, says, "I should warn you princess, the first time tends to get a little... messy." He lifts her skirt showing her bare legs. Between this and when she wakes up, it is uncertained if she was raped or not (though it is more likely she was not as when Lori makes Freddy go into the real world Freddy is still pulling her nightgown up). When she wakes up, she grabs Freddy and brings him into the real world, where he threatens to kill her, apparently whatever feelings he had for her are almost gone. Freddy is shown to be somewhat pyrophobic, as he whinces when the cabin ignites and you can see fear in his eyes. However, Freddy quickly recovers from it. He is killed by getting impaled by Jason (with his own claw glove in fact), then Lori gets her revenge by cutting his head off with Jason's machete. The idea of a slasher having a sexual interest in a past victim's daughter is based on the movie Scream (movie).
- Jason Voorhees- The main villain of the Friday the 13th movies. Lori's relationship to Jason is far less direct than hers with Freddy, but it still plays an important role. Lori is in the house where Jason's first kill took place, although she didn't see him during this time. Her first direct contact with him came at a rave, where Jason massacres many teenagers, but Lori and several other kids are able to escape. When they go to the institution to retrieve the dream-suppressing drug Hipnocil, Jason tracks them down, killing two of the group before being sent into a dream state coma (by a Freddy-possessed Freeburg, who doped him with two sedatives). During his dreams, and his first fight with Freddy, Freddy discovered that Jason is hydrophobic, which Freddy used against Jason to reduce him to a scared little boy. There, Freddy looked further into the cursed past of Jason. Out in the real world, Lori convinces the remaining members to bring Jason with them to Camp Crystal Lake, so that Jason can fight Freddy on his own home turf, but asks for herself to also be tranqued so that she can bring Freddy into the real world where he is suceptible. In her dream, she sees Jason as a little kid being chased into the lake and struggling to swim. She goes over to try and help him, but he is pulled under by Freddy. Back in the van transporting the group in the real world, Jason suddenly wakes up, causing the van to crash just next to the camp. An enraged Freddy sets his sites on Lori, but she is able to bring him over to the real world. Freddy is just about to kill Lori when the sudden appearance of Jason distracts him, allowing Lori and Will to escape. However, Lori is determined to see Freddy die before she leaves, so she and Will spray gasoline over the dock and gas tanks, and then set fire to it, blowing both Freddy and Jason into the lake. Neither are dead however, when Freddy appears carrying Jason's machete. Just as he is about to strike, Jason summons one last ounce of strength and stabs Freddy with his own blade glove from behind before falling back into the lake, allowing Lori to pickup the machete and decapitate Freddy. It should be noted that while Jason saves Lori at least twice from being killed by Freddy, he is almost certainly acting for his own reasons, and had he been given the chance, he would've probably killed Lori himself. However some believe he would have saved her due to the fact that she, and only she, attempted to save him from drowning whilst in a dream state.
