I agree, there was an obvious homosexual overtone to that whole movie and the main character definitely had my gaydar beeping… 🙂

Agreed! Plus, the effects are pretty stellar in Freddy’s Revenge. The scene where he rips out of Jesse is really well done.

Yeah I agree with your list for the most part almost completely. 4 is definitely overrated and five was atrocious. I thought six was pretty terrible as well, and New Nightmare was great when it came out but it has not aged well at all. That movie looks awful. Freddy vs. Jason hasn’t aged well either. It’s so silly and camp…it has that Scream horror taint all over it. It could have been amazing but they went for the meta humor garbage and its now in the dust bin with H20 as movies that tried far to hard to leech off the Scream meta thing…

Yeah I was in 4th grade when Dream Warriors came out. Back then I thought it was so much better than the original. I think because of the horror mixed with super hero element. As a kid having fantastic powers to battle bad guys appeals to you.

However now that I am almost 39 I have to strongly disagree. While Dream Warriors is very good it doesn’t hold a candle to the original. It hasn’t aged as well as the original either.

I find myself watching the original far more often than I do Dream Warriors. Maybe it’s because Dream Warriors was the start of funny comic Freddy vs. the terrifying monster that he was in the original.

The second movie which I hated isn’t so bad in retrospect. Freddy is still pretty nasty and evil in that movie and there are not that many silly one liners. It just seems the second movie had this intentional homo erotic tint to it..

By the time Dream Master came out freddy was HUGE. reeking havoc on pop culture as we speak, everybody at that point was rooting for the comical dream deamon. XD

I love Freddy’s nightmares, it has a lot of charm and is incredibly fun to watch.
I’d take it over Dream Child, Dream Master, New Nightmare, Freddy Vs Jason and the remake any day of the week

1 & 3 were fantastic, 2 is underrated, 4 is overrated(mixed bag imo), 5 is mediocre and the weakest of the 6 original Elm street films, 6 was an absolute ‘loony tunes on elm street’ blast and new nightmare IMO is the absolute worst. it hasn’t aged well at-all.

Freddy vs Jason was a hoot during it’s day, even though it could of been so much better, meanwhile lets just forget the remake was ever made.

Freddie not only had some of his coolest kills (puppet, heroin OD, TV head), he also had some hilarious classic lines. “Here’s your big break into TV, welcome to prime time BITCH!!” makes me giddy like a schoolgirl every time I see it! And the rock band Dokken made a song ‘Dream Warriors’ for the soundtrack that was pretty popular. Oh yeah, even Freddy was rockin’ with Dokken… 🙂

the whole show is terrible. it never aired here so i saw both seasons for the first time a few years ago and damn….. but i won’t lie, i’m a huge Nightmare fan and would buy an official release on day one!! i got a fanmade set but its obvously copied from VHS tapes, has a terrible fuzzy picture, tracking issues and all….made for a nostalgic watch. lol

Awesomeness. I loved the Nightmare series growing up and yes Freddy was really popular. Posters on walls of Big Brothers. and I being a child of the 80’s I got to watch as the movies came out to video. Even got a Freddy Krueger “doll” in my stocking once for Christmas. What the hell? 80’s had balls!

You forgot to add these as well
TMNT episode Dream Beavers: The turtles fall asleep and learn that creepy mutant like beavers hunt their dreams. Robert Englund along with John Kassir voices the 4 Dream Beavers.

Gravity Falls:
Even when they have their own Dream Demon (Bill Cipher) the show made a funny cameo of Freddy Krueger in one of the pages of Journal 3

It’s about the glove in Evil dead 2.

There’s a story about how The Hill Have Eyes has a poster of Jaws in it
that is ripped in half signifying that Jaws is half as scary as The Hill
Have Eyes. Then in the basement of the cabin in The Evil dead there is a
poster of The Hill Have Eyes ripped in half signifying that The Hill
Have Eyes is half as scary as The Evil Dead. Then Wes Craven in response
to Sam Raimi’s joke at The Hill have Eyes had Nancy falling asleep to
The Evil Dead in A Nightmare On Elm Street. Then Sam Raimi in response
to Wes Craven’s joke about The Evil Dead had one of the Freddy Krueger
gloves in the basement of the cabin in The Evil Dead 2.

When I went trick or treating as a kid, there were probably ten or twelve Freddys in my neighborhood. I’m just glad he was never used as a spokesperson. ET (the Extra-Terrestrial) did ads against drunk driving, I s–t you not. Ahhhh, the 80s.
