- Hypnocil is a fictitious, experimental drug used in the A Nightmare On Elm Street series of movies, specifically in Dream Warriors and Freddy vs. Jason. As explained in the movies, it is used for the suppression of dreams, but has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is true even after the more than 15 years that take place between the two movies it is featured in. Its mechanism is similar to that of anti-epileptic drugs except that it works during sleep time only preventing the REM phase of sleep. It is useful against Freddy Krueger in that he can only affect (and therefore kill) a person who is asleep and dreaming. When a person is on this drug, he is essentially powerless to hurt them.

As explained in the movies, it is used for the suppression of dreams, but has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Its mechanism is similar to that of anti-epileptic drugs except that it works during sleep time only preventing the REM phase of sleep. It is useful against Freddy Krueger in that he can only affect (and therefore kill) a person who is asleep and dreaming. When a person is on this drug, he is essentially powerless to hurt them. In the first script for the third Nightmare on Elm Street film written by Wes Craven and Bruce Wagner, it was spelled "Hypnocyl." In this script it was also supposed to be effective in treating manifestations of psychotic disorders and night terrors.
- Hypnocil is a fake drug and not real in anyway in real life. The drug was used in the film to keep the kids from dreaming, and therefore, keeping Freddy Krueger at bay. The side effects included addiction, hallucinations, high blood pressure, and stroke or death. The goal of the kids in Freddy vs. Jason was to use the drug to keep them from dreaming. The kids found a hospital that was using Hypnocil. While at the hospital, one of the kids separated from the group to go get stoned. During his smoking, he fell asleep, and Freddy greeted him as a caterpillar-like creature who forced his way into the stoner's mouth, thereby possessing him. In the real world, the possessed stoner found the cabinet with the Hypnocil, locked the door to the room, and began dumping the Hypnocil down the drain. The other kids in the group try to stop him, but are unsuccessful.
