Month: March 2023
Seven years after the delightful Freddy Vs Jason, they decided to reboot the Nightmare franchise. The fans were hungry for it. But there was a caveat. We only really wanted it if you could give us a Freddy Krueger that we could accept. That’s truly where the biggest divide comes from. Jackie Earle Haley was […]
Once the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise was established, horror fans dreamed of seeing these 2 icons on screen together. The closest we ever got was in Jason Goes to Hell. Then in 2003, after many scripts, we finally got to see the 2 biggest horror icons together in the same film. Surprisingly, the film […]
Freddy was dead, but his story wasn’t. Wes Craven came back and gave us one of the best horror films of the 90s, New Nightmare. Make no mistake about it, Scream doesn’t exist without this film. This movie tried some very new ideas and most of them worked well. This was the send-off that Freddy […]
With the poor overall reception from Part 5 still in mind, New Line Cinema decided to end the franchise as we knew it, and therefore we get Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. As a kid, I was bummed out, but looking back on it, it makes sense to make as much of a spectacle as […]
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is when most people would say that the franchise took a sharp decline. Even if you weren’t a big fan of 4, you definitely preferred Dream Master to Dream Child. The biggest issues are the lack of deaths, the quality of characters, too much focus on […]
Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master has been referred to as the most MTV film of the franchise, and you’d be hard-pressed to argue against that. The soundtrack kicks ass, or “slaps” as is the phrase that people use to try to sound cool. Freddy now comes in with several one-liners, more hits […]
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is often the fan favorite of the franchise. When compared to the rest of the franchise, you have several memorable death scenes, some star power, and a lot of creativity. Freddy starts to become the Freddy that we all know and love nowadays. Oh, we also get Dokken!! […]
The most divisive film in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has to be the second film, Freddy’s Revenge. An immediate follow-up to the original, they didn’t bring back much other than Freddy, the house, and some info about Nancy. Some people will argue that this is when Freddy was at his best, dark and […]
Chris, Kevin, and Kent watched every Nightmare on Elm Street film and now discuss the entire franchise. In this episode, they discuss the film that started it all, 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. This wasn’t Wes Craven’s first film, but definitely his best-known one, sorry Scream fans but you know I’m right. Sit back, […]
