- Sometimes binging a whole franchise just isn't feasible as there are only so many hours in the day. And you're often left with a lot of questions like: What was that sequel you liked again? When did the series start getting bad? Which is the most fun? We wanted to make it a little easier for those who wanted to either revisit or get into some horror franchises for the very first time. So join us as we tell you WTF You Need To Know about various popular horror movie franchises.
For our first episode, there's really no better franchise to look at than New Line's baby. With its extremely influential slasher at the lead with Freddy Krueger, to some of the most recognizable Scream Queens in the entire genre, there are few series as influential as this one. So if you haven't seen them, or you're just wanting a recap, let's dive into the Nightmare On Elm Street series.

"It can be a bit overwhelming for new viewers."
*Laughs in Halloween and Texas Chainsaw timelines*
I want Robert Englund to do just one more movie, a proper sequel with some great characters. Nancy and her mother, both Kristens (I love Tuesday Knight!), Alice -there’s someone out there!
I would love to see that based on Peter Jackson’s old Nightmare script that never got made… Freddy is a weak old man and kids now purposely go into dreams with him just to beat him up and humiliate him… then he gains his power back one more time… would probably be pretty badass
I could picture a new vision of Freddy who eventually shapeshifts into a Robert Englund cameo ala candyman
Even though I love the idea, I think a new nightmare was the perfect movie to retire on.
Come on, Robert is 76 and arthritic, and has been saying for years he no longer want to do it. His appearance in The Goldbergs was embarrassing. FvJ was the best way for him retire the character, blending the sinister and comedic sides.
@@edanguiano6096 quit hating how was it embarrassing?
Here's to John Saxon! During his career, he was seen by some people as a lower-tier actor who was making quick paychecks in "B-movies"...
But those people weren't in Black Christmas, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Enter the Dragon and John Saxon was.
So John Saxon wins!
Just a legend! Here's to John!
I met Robert englund at the London Comic-Con this year, he was so nice and even said my favourite line from the franchise
Which line was it? My guess is "welcome to Prime Time, bitch!"
@@jonbourgoin182 it was “Miss me?!” From wes craven’s new nightmare
I always thought that it was "welcome to prime time bitch"
@@vicwolfrin New Nightmare is the best film in the franchise.
Dream Warriors is probably my all-time favorite for the series other than the original. It was so imaginative and let Freddy run the show. Also, the writing/acting was good enough that the audience actually became vested and cared about the other characters in the movie.
And Dokken🙂.
I actually really like Elm Street 2. I think it's because Freddy is probably the scariest to me. 3 is still my favourite though, lol
The fantasy gore effects in Nightmare 3, 4, and 5 were the best in the series. Featuring a whose who of FX Make Up Artists of the 1980s.
God! This is why I've always loved this series! The fantasy gore and Nightmare scapes are just well done! I agree, the movie reached it's zenith with Dream Warriors through Dream Child
I've been a fan of ANOES ever since I was a kid. The first 2 movies along with New Nightmare are my favorites. The remake was absolutely awful in every way possible. It'll be interesting to see if Blumhouse actually gets to make a Nightmare movie. Hopefully Robert will be involved. Speaking of him I can't wait to meet Robert next month. This a great retrospective on a classic horror franchise. Loved it!
The remake is somehow worse than Freddy’s Dead. The acting to the story to the worst special effects I have ever seen. Just awful. Pure cash grab attempt.
They basically did one in the last season of Stranger Things. Damn if it wasn’t an Elm Street movie. Should be a Netflix miniseries with Englund in a near post apocalyptic future. Fewer rules and of course Jason.
And Ash.
@@attackofthetheeyecreatures3472 exactly
I've been trying to come up with my own version of a Freddy Krueger type horror monster until I realized that what makes him work is Robert Englund, without him it just doesn't work.
We're proud of this new series and I hope you all enjoy it!
Loving it
Indeed it is one of the greatest franchises ever! First one gave me so many nightmares as a kid...my favorite, outside of the first is probably dream master...despite the Killing off of the last elm Street children so quickly. DM oozes 80s....it's almost like a die hard film with how action packed it is...but that isn't surprising because renny directed it, and he directed die hard 2. If I had to objectively rank them:
1 anoes
2 nn
3 dw
4 dm
5 fvj
6 fr
7 dc
8 fd
9 remake
I would give the following to watch, 1st, 3rd, and new nightmare, I think it wraps up.the series perfectly
Those three and 4 for me. I love that movie
I mostly choose those for the following reasons:
The first is a classic and sets the lore and the rules up for what's to come, Nancy is also the first to defeat him so she's the female alpha of the series.
The second is great but still the dark tone that the first has so nothing that pushes the boundaries.
The third film is when the franchise steps into a new direction, music is on point, the group are amazing to follow and we get teenagers that can band together to fight freddy on his plane. It's also when Freddy develops the sarcasm and slightly comedic tone.
The fourth and 5th are good films and the kills are incredibly creative but I find it more of the same of part three. Part 6 is weak, even though some good moments it's easily the weakest of the series, I won't even bother going into detail on that one.
And a new nightmare was super fresh at the time with the meta take on the series bringing it into our world, again this is heather's character coming back to seal the demon of Freddy off and so it sounds up what I call the NANCY trilogy.
1st is a dark Freddy film
3rd a fun Freddy film
New nightmare, a meta commentary on horror.
Ive commented the same thing on various videos about this series. If you watch parts 1, 3, and New Nightmare, you have a really solid trilogy of horror movies.
Such a great film with a verbal villain (unlike Michael or Jason) plus a mix of humor, spine tingling!
Wish we got that old Freddy script where the kids dream to kick his ass as he’s old and helpless, and then he gets lucky and kills a weak one to get enough strength to come back. That could be a great way to end Englands run.
Elijah Wood knows horror. I'd be interested in his vision of the franchise. Great video, very fair assessments. 👍
Freddy’s dead is great fun ☺️ I love all of the films over the remake. But still enjoyed the remake and don’t get all the hate. Seen far worse horror films.
It's just a dull, lifeless remake with no imagination and failed to capture the magic and tone of the original movie. It doesn't try to do it's own thing and whenever it does something, it's too different that wouldn't fit in Freddy's character. And HELLO, it was a movie nobody asked for.
Wow, someone who actually loves Freddy's Dead. That movie is atrocious to me and that's coming from a diehard Elm street fan. However, I mean no disrespect because I'm sure you're a diehard too. I just hate it so bad. I will say it is not as horrible as the final Friday the 13th. I also hate the remake. As was pointed out in the video, the characters were so boring and lifeless. Rooney Mara was soooo dull to be the lead. Nancy Thompson had spunk and faught Freddy like a badass. Hell all of the original series leads were gret. Christian (Arquette and Knight) and Alice were terrific strong female leads!
@@brandonspain12345 Brandon you hit the nail on the head brother. dull as dishwater remake and more lifeless than any zombie in the walking dead. You are so right when you say they failed to capture the magic of the original. I'm usually not very hard on remakes but Elm Street is the worst to come out. I enjoyed the remakes of Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Child's Play. This movie was completely forgettable.
I thought Jackie Earle Haley was great, but was failed by a bad script and plot. If they do another reboot, I wouldn't mind seeing him getting another shot at it.
No, he wasn't terrible but he wasn't memorable either. The makeup and the way he spoke really dragged his performance to the gutter. I think with the right direction, he could be great.
i truly feel like if you watch Freddy’s Dead as a spoof comedy instead of a serious horror, you can get QUITE a lot of entertainment out of it! that map scene alone is pretty fuckin hilarious, and that roseanne and tom arnold cameo just cements the fact that it’s meant to be a comedy!
Even if you looked at it as a comedy, it's not a funny one. Besides the map scene as you mentioned. But Freddy playing the power glove isn't funny, it's just eyebrow raising. I feel like it could've worked if Sam Raimi would've directed it since he is the master of balance comedy with horror. Even the movies before like Dream Warriors and Dream Master had scenes of Freddy being comedic but they were actually funny lines and moments he would do.
Freddy was amazing in Freddy’s Dead. My favorite Freddy performance. I don’t need Freddy just stalking and killing people. Him making jokes and shit as he’s killing you is what sets him apart in my opinion
Thanks for making this.
I was raised and conditioned to be so very terrified of these movies and it’s been so fun to visit them as an adult and enjoy them.
Next on my list is the elm street series
I was watching Dream Warriors, According to the nun, that Freddy was born in the 1940s, he was in his 20s when he was killing kids in the 1960s and maybe the early 1970s.
Robert Englund is now 75 years old.
I'm not sure if Elijah Wood had any casting in mind but watching him in Sin City I think he could proli pull off Freddy
Freodo Kruggins
Wonderful job on laying it down for the people just capturing the Freddy Krueger bug
Whilst Freddy's Dead is a guilty pleasure of mine, honestly the best part of the movie was Johnny Depp's cameo.
That lasted a few seconds and included him cracking an egg on a frying pan? Ok...😆
The crush I had on Taryn as a young metalhead/goth can never be overstated.
Mine would be Kristin Parker and Nancy. Shame they replaced Patricia as Kristen.
I.just finished the JoBlo deep dive on Robert England about a hour ago.... So this video has wonderful timing !
It's so funny when you think about this franchise and then you watch the first film which is much more horror focused. And then you get the part three and somebody realized, " oh, they are dreaming! We could do some crazy shit!"
The Dream Warriors really started the whole focus on Freddy as the main character with wonderful quips and kills.
I wasn't allowed to see R-rated films but a lot of my friends were so I would just go over their house when they would rent something and watch it there.
I had read in fangoria that part 6 the Final Nightmare was going to be in 3D!
They did not mention that somehow they were going to tie the 3D glasses in the film as some type of device to catch Freddy lol.
"Put these on! It's the only way you can see Freddy's head explode!"/
I remember lying to my mom and getting her to take my friend and I to the movie theater to see Hot Shots.
But we lied and got into see Freddy's Dead. And we would have gotten away with it had I hid my 3D glasses Somewhere In My Room rather than leaving them on top of my dresser for her to see them.
I was such a bad liar when I was a kid but that sure is kit didn't stop me from trying. I tried to tell her that somebody else had given me the glasses when we were at the theater LOL.
I was grounded for an entire month and was given all these extra chores to do during this month of punishment.
@HOT. NEGIN Really? That's crazy.
I liked the remake. The hate is blown out of proportion. If anything, Freddy's Dead deserves that energy.
The original first "A Nightmare on Elm street" is scary and Freddy looks down right evil and sounds evil
The intro to part two will always be amazing.
I always liked Freddy's Revenge and never understood the hate around Mark Patton "Jesse" the movie was always a bit odd in compare to 1st and 3rd part, but I really liked how they explored Freddy's back story via Nancy notebook, the possession part wasn't so bad neither, I watched Nightmare on Elm street by the first time at the age of 6 I remember how scary the freddy was, through my childhook Freddy was my biggest nightmare, and now when I am 29 years old I really like to watch all the parts (1,2,3,4,5 new nightmare + freddy vs Jason) and I really enjoy all of them I wish we gonna get the Nigtmare on Elm street reboot that will match our expectation, Saddly without Wes and I am afraid it gonna be also without Robert the man who Created Freddy and soul of the franchise.
I love the pool scene. When one of the kids is like “we’re here to help you”. And Freddy says “Help yourself fucker!” Love that line still makes me laugh
I 100% agree with your ranking. Thank you
Loved this
Just so new fans know what they're getting into, i wanted to make a correction.
Freddy's Dead the final nightmare does feature 3D but only at the end of the film, for around 15 minutes.
I was "lucky" enough to see this one in the theaters and I still have my 3D glases to prove it ;)
Cheers from Canada
My dad took me to see it. I was 8 😂. I love that man and that movie.
If they where going to do another film I would have like the reveal of the town and villain only revealed in the movie and not in the trailer because I think it’s more terrifying to have the slow realization from an audience perspective rather than immediately go into knowing it’s a ANOES film. Like in trailers reveal people are dying but not by who or what.
This is my favorite film series. Besides I like the Hellraiser film series as well
Thumbnail looks like a demented Michael Jordan on Halloween about to dunk the ball.
Great video! But I greatly disagree about the remake. Jackie Earle Haley was absolutely fantastic. He was so great and I adored his take on Freddy
Robert Englund is too old to play Freddy again, but his cameo in Stranger Things 4 was an excellent send-off and passing the torch/claws.
I had my own pitch for a Nightmare on Elm Street movie would be more psychological and more of a homage to part 3 and 4. The simple idea is that What if Freddy stalked a psychiatrist and fucked with her mind? What unique idea for a demon who plays with our minds messes with a woman who tries to help others. Fancasting for the counselor: Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She's a very talented, intelligent actress who's always the light to any movie even if they're bad and has very powerful eyes and a sweet voice that makes her feel like an innocent but vulnerable person that makes you feel sorry for het when she's in danger.
My idea would have her meet a patient who's a surviving victim who has tons of cuts across her face and body and believe it was a suicidal attempt. They bond as friends and her patient named Shyanne Santmyer shows her she has the power to control her dreams and keep Freddy away and we would see the good dreams these characters have and not nightmares. We also learn that Springwood does a Jason Lives move: They renamed Elm Street to "Cherry Street" and demolished the original 1428 house to cover up evidence that Freddy ever existed. But since then, Freddy is stalking the psychiatrist (named Bridget) who is revealed to be one of the original Elm Street children attacked by Freddy just before he was arrested. Bridget has had a trauma on Freddy and lives in NYC but decides to move back to help children with their dreams and she learned to dream about good and positive things in her dreams and haven't dreamt anything on Freddy until early on in the movie.
We would also explore Freddy's childhood that he was obsessed with dreams himself and learned to get in contact with it. He also was in contacts with a ancient demon who traveled through many dimensions and appears in dreams before Freddy. (Basically I'm trying to connect New Nightmare's lore with the original. Ignoring the sperm Demons from part 6 since I didn't like that one.) Which gives him the power to go to other people's dreams and can kill them in their sleep with this demon, so when he died, the two bonded to one entity of it's own. And the glove was inspired by the demon's chainmail glove he used to kill villagers centuries ago. Now Freddy's the modern version of the demon.
Present day, Freddy learns he can't hurt Bridget because her Shyanne successfully scares him away with fire. She controls her dreams and she wants to teach her doctor the same with her gift of dreaming positive ones. It's here we learned that Shyanne loved to nap everyday at a certain time to explore a Wonderland or Oz world of dreams, it's not just her own dreams, it's a planet of worlds of dreams kids imagine of and explore to but one days, she accidentally encountered the bad side of dreams where she met Freddy who is jealous she leans to control her dreams and since then, he has tried to wear her powers down enough to make her variable to reach her considering she is now depressed and bitter in her personal life. And Shyanne thinks because of her cut scars, she thinks she doesn't have enough time to live so that's why she wants to teach Bridget to have the same skills she has. And she gives Bridget her old dreamcatcher and calls her The Dream Walker - "A lucid dreamer (person able to take control of or actively determine the path of their own dreams). - Or a Person who appears frequently in or who vividly haunts your dreams, usually in a positive way."
But because the hospital is full of ignorant doctors, they feel Bridget is not good to Shyanne, wishing to replace Hypnocile with different pills and replace her with someone else, this stress causes Freddy to barely slip in Shyanne's head and cuts her wrists deep, making it look like a morbid suicide. This causes Bridget to slowly loose her mind now that she lost her best friend and begins having nightmares of Freddy more than before with Freddy believing he's now the Dream Walker instead of Shyanne and acts like he's her doctor in her dreams. Which causes her to have therapy herself in a bit of irony. He also explains he doesn't just want to kill people in Elm Street since he's gotten used to the new name and wants to kill anybody, anywhere in the world since everyone sleeps besides Springwood. Even worse that Bridget's boyfriend gets in a accident and is how in a coma where Freddy can forever mess with.
The final effort to stop Freddy and save more people is to find what makes Freddy afraid when he was alive and discovers it was his abusive foster father Mr. Underwood. She turns Shyanne's dreamcatcher into a necklace and goes to the Freddy house in the nightmare world. She frees her boyfriend and she uses her powers she learned from Shyanne and turns herself into Mr. Underwood which Freddy is horrified of that he screams and tries to run away. Successfully weakening him. She/he punches his chest open which causes his souls to fly out and his house begins to burn down.
Huge fire burns through the skull of his eyes and his body dissolves to slimy muck before beginning to grow a black cloud that continues to expand. Bridget and her boyfriend flees the house just before it explodes, destroying everything. The growing black cloud punches through as the debris rains down. The dark cloud then turns white as the souls fly to the sky. The nightmare is over and Freddy is dead. We see her Shyanne as a spirit hug her as Bridget fails to hold her tears and she tells her it's time to wake up. (A la the ending of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.) Bridget wakes up and hurries to the hospital to see her husband who successfully awakens.
We then cut to a couple months later and we see Bridget's own therapy is better and she still has her job as a therapist, she mentions she would like to thank someone in her life who helped her guide her dreams steadily and always dream positive. She decides to move away from Springwood Incase she has to deal with Freddy again and because she's still alive, Freddy can't leave Springwood if god-for-bid he comes back and she safely returns back to New York City. The story ends with Bridget sitting next to a healed Shyanne on a bence in a glowing, beautiful park, nothing dark or any sign of Freddy. Maybe a few kids running around like T2's alternate ending. Despite not being in Springwood, she takes Shyanne wherever she goes in her dreams. They smile and look into the beautiful sky in a quiet, somber way. We pull back to see everything is better in Bridget's dream and reality. Fading to white. The end.
Really glad you made this video, as I've never really watched Freddy apart from the remake 😁🇬🇧👍🏻
Boy, did we failed you big time there...
@@LABOUMDECADANCE 😂😂🤣🤣🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️😁👍🏻
I have the perfect film idea for a nightmare on elm street.
A two parter.
The first dealing with the hunt for Krueger, and the second part I’ll keep to myself.
To be filmed back to back.
All I’ll say about the first part is Freddy wasn’t the springwood slasher, he was the fall guy.
The real killer is *** ********
@C. Smith imagine a nightmare on elm street prequel version of the usual suspects.
Trust me I’ve got this one covered
@@NorthWalesKid Go 4 it man!
Robert englund 1 more time as Freddy nuff said
Love Robert Englund but I didn't mind the freddy in the remake and love the ending of the movie compared to the original. Also Robert didn't want to be in the remake so I was already ready for a new freddy and accepted that before I watched it. That being said my order would be 1. New nightmare 2. Orginal 3. Dream warriors 4. Final nightmare 5. Remake 6 . Freddy vs jason 7. The 4th movie 8 . The 2nd movie and i hate dream child
that is a list of very memorable characters
Perfect List
7:09 "Hey! Freddy Krueger stole that from JoBlo Horror!" 😃
Freddy and boiler rooms scared the shyt out of me as a kid. Now I work in a boiler room and couldn’t have a good nightmare if I try. I take that back. I’ve been dreaming I’m at work while asleep. Pretty scary
If they do another nightmare, I would like to see Robert as Freddy in some compacity. Maybe not the whole movie if he doesn't want. But I feel like he needs a proper farewell. New nightmare was great. But it wasn't the real Freddy that died in the end. He was last decapitated by a 7ft tall mommas boy. Robert is a great actor. A great guy. And Freddy is great character and villain.
Although it has been confirmed that FvJ isn't canon either. It's supposed to be in it's own timeline like Alien vs. Predator was. Even Robert Englund doesn't consider it a NOES movie because it's a crossover, not a sequel.
@@brandonspain12345 fair point. In that case tho, I'd still like to see him in a proper death. Getting blown up by a daughter that we just found out he had, and never hinted at, while destroying those 3 sperm looking "dream demons" that also just showed up in one of his sillier later movies in that cgi explosion kinda felt like all his other deaths. Like he's just gonna come back. Even if that's not a good reason, I just want one more outing with Mr. Englund as freddy
nightmare on elm street 2 is the movie equivalent of the song that Charlie from 'It's Always Sunny' sings about the nightman that gets him kicked out of the band.
If they wanted to do an actual remake of Nightmare on elm street. (or perhaps even a last chapter to pass the torch I suppose.) They could open up with the iconic glove making scene in silence and just the unnerving sounds of the glove being made. Then cut to a frightening dream sequence with one of the kids (probably Tina or the Tina stand in if they go passing of the torch.) Then she’s saved by waking up and of course the parent not taking her seriously. She talks about her frightening dreams with her friends. Hint at the other children having scary dreams too. The children all have a sleepover After a second dream sequence the first of the children die. (Probably the Tina character unless you are going passing of the torch.) at the funeral of the first child the others notice strange pictures of their friend as an infant with an older child holding them or the family together with both children. One of the other children (our Nancy stand in or just one of the kids if it’s passing of the torch) looks through their families boxes of old pictures in an old attic and finds pictures of their parents with an older sibling too. They then find a picture of a bunch of kids from town together with the older sibling at the preschool Freddy worked at. (Including Freddy in the picture.) they ask their parents about the photo and get nowhere because the parents refuse to acknowledge the child and photo. This child shows the photo to their remaining friends and pointe out that each of them share a last name with each of the kids in the photo. The smart boy of the group looks up the children’s names online and discover they were all murdered within the same year. Stumbling across the Freddy Kruger case. He also discovers that the children are their older siblings. the three or four other kids in the photo have dead younger siblings (their parents moved out of spring wood) who died in their sleep too. Another of the friends dies during the research introducing the idea of micro naps. (The smart kid gives the others his research on it after the death to show what happened.) The main girl confronts their parents with this information and the parent finally comes clean after being confronted with the other children’s deaths and the fact that they had an older sibling and know about it. The parents say that they didn’t tell them because it happened before they were born and wasn’t their cross to bear, the parents just wanted to forget about it and move on. Freddy can’t hurt them because the parents killed him where he murdered their siblings. The group gets back together and realize only one person of them isn’t having nightmares about Freddy (the skeptic this whole time.) and they’ve been taking a ptsd drug (most drugs used to treat ptsd and anxiety stop REM sleep.) when all is revealed they decide it’s time to take Freddy down. (If it’s a passing of the torch it’s revealed that the eldest kid on ptsd drugs is the child of Freddy who was adopted by one of the victims parents under the table. Why they are on the drugs.) the 2-3 kids left decide if anyone can pull Freddy out it’s the cynical one because they aren’t as exhausted as the other kids (and they are Freddy’s kid if it’s a passing of the torch) they boobie trap a selected location home alone style. Give doses of the ptsd med to the other kids and rest while they wait for it to wear off on the targeted kid. Now the ending depends on if it’s a remake or passing of the torch. If it’s a remake they pull Freddy out he attacks them and they ultimately all take his power away like Nancy did in the first one ending in them hugging it out in relief only to find themselves stumbling back into a nightmare. (It takes time for a ptsd medication to work. They didn’t know that.) if it’s a passing of the torch Freddy is running out of time and juice and wants his abused and resented kid to continue his revenge against the others ending in Freddy and his kid dying after his kid turns on the others and in death his child takes his place as a dream murderer.
3 will always be my favorite since it's so damn fun
Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline is doing a 7 film (1- NewN) nightmare marathon this Sat.
My favorite horror franchise blends reality and fantasy the creative death scenes my top 5 movie's
1- Nightmare on elm Street
2- Wes Craven new nightmare
3- Nightmare on elm Street 3 dream warriors
4- Nightmare on elm Street 4 dream master
5- Freddy's Revenge
My favorite horror franchise followed by Hellraiser (up until Hellworld). My favorite movie of the franchise is Dream Child and my favorite final girl is Alice. I also love that, contrary to most horror franchises, this one gave us an ending (as bad as it was), Plus, they gave us an "extra" placing back Freddy as a scary character with New Nightmare. And even beyond that we got Freddy vs Jason that I don´t count as an official sequel to the franchise (be it after Freddy´s Dead or New Nightmare). To me FvJ is its own thing.
I just noticedthat you missed Gretta from Dramchild. Really?! One of the most interesting characters?! How dare you!
Really I think they could make a Nightmare on Elm Street without Robert if they took the Time and pick the right Actor for the Role. There so many Michaels & Jason there has to be a way and yes even if new Freddy they need to focus on it like Halloween 2018 did or Scream 2022.
I'll say the season 4 of Stranger Things is the Nightmare on Elm Street remake we should've gotten. Moody dream atmosphere, a burnt-faced victim stalking his victims, and Robert Englund involved in some capacity.
Agreed!
Just have Robert Englund give his blessings to have Vecna/Henry/001 😂 as the new Freddy in a reboot. He got to see him work, I’d push for him any day of the week.
I rate Nightmare on Elm Street movies like my Friday the Thirteens. How creative and cool are the deaths? These B Horror Movies is all you need. Everything else takes the back burner.
Want the best experience possible with Elm Street? Watch Movie 1, Movie 3, Movie 6 and then movie 7.
That's all you need. 1 is fun, 3 is great, 6 is like a spoof of 3 and 7 is meta. It has all you need.
He’s like the joker if the joker could come after you and your dreams
Ok, the idea that the reboot is somehow worse than part 2 is fucking ridiculous. Aside from Nancy, all the teens in the reboot were decent characters. The main problem the reboot has is that it kind of lacks a reason to exist.
I still say part 2 has the scariest Freddy makeup
Kevin Bacon could pull it off. Plus, dude is fit and will keep kicking ass for another 20+ years, at least.
My favorite! ❤
Iin terms of 80s movie villain Freddy Krueger was the King, witty, knows what scares you, Cool, Fantastic he's the kind of Villain you can't help but love thanks to Robert Englund's performance throughout the whole series ❤💚🔪🔪🔪🔪
The remake was great. Definitely better than most of the cartoon-y sequels.
I will never not watch videos about Nightmare On Elm Street or Freddy Krueger in general.
If we can't all accept the possibility of a different Freddy please just don't bother. Im a lifelong diehard and ill gladly die on the "remake wasn't as bad as recalled" hill. Mainly because i want to move forward.
Also, the new nightmare meta felt so fresh because it was. Predates scream.
If you like campy 1990s(*) horror movies, this series is the pinnacle. Skip the second movie and you'll have a blast.
(*) Yeah most of the original movies were released in the 1980s but on average the action plays in the 90s.
best franchise to revive. you can get bonkers with this one
Freddy in Space!
Now, just to be fair; I didn't think 'DreamChild' was all that bad, and is probably the best of the worst. (although, granted, I realize I don't really have a dog in the fight, so to speak.) And I think Craven really SHOULD be aknowledged for his unique and diverse body of work. =)
The remake is underrated.
have you done the phantasm series yet?
it's my all time favorite film series
Just one more pls Mr Englund, let us be bless one more and last time with yout magic , its all we ask.
Nah. Both Englund & I are too old 😆 But y’know what I want?
A big budget, competently done ANOES Game series WITH ENGLUND 🤘🏽
I love part 5.
I'd like to see an animated series, based off the comics, where Nancy and the dream warriors are still in the dream world because their souls were set free.
The guy that plays art the clown should play Freddy I think it would be a good choice.
you forget the tv show: Freddy's Nightmares, 1988
In all honesty the best continuing saga of the Nightmare on Elm Street was by a film company called Blinky500 they made a NOES prequel series called KRUGER. It's excellent and it's on CZcams. Check out Roberto Lombardi who plays a preburned Freddy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ranks Freddy vs. Jason *above* Freddy's Dead. smdh
The first three are honestly amazing. Dream warriors was my favorite. But, I gave up after that. EXCEPT new nightmare 1994. Fantastic! Also, when you look at Freddy’s revenge as a gay horror film, it’s ACTUALLY a fantastic representation of gay life and fear of the time.
Freddy's Dead is essential
1 and 2 were the best
I liked 2&3!!!
The reboot should have pulled the trigger. And given us a Freddy who was innocent. Who's vengeance was justified. Instead of him being worse.
I want a decent freddy game for a modern platform with voice overs by the cast.
When people talk about the worst horror remakes, the NOES is the one I go to as the worst one. I think Blumhouse could push out a new one. I will also say number 2 is my 3rd favorite Nightmare of the series.
The one thing that sucks about Nightmare is that the remake Freddy made it into multiple games and not the OG Freddy I’m looking at you Dead by Daylight
You are seriously one of my favorite CZcams channel. Today is my birthday, can you please give me a shout out in the comments for my 38th birthday?
I liked the 2010 version, yes it doesn't match up with the original but thought it was a good horror film, it is the highest grossing movie in the franchise, its ashamed it didn't get at least a sequel. Oh well.
Sorry I have to completely disagree with you on Freddy's dead. Even if you dislike it it's one of the most unique movies in the franchise with a great cast and a killer soundtrack. It's my fav out of the entire franchise and I've always found it a really fun watch. Honestly surprised that you put it in the skip category.
FYI...I live in Springwood qld Australia
I haven’t seen any of these except the original. But from what I’ve heard, I think I would prefer the remake over the rest. Sorry. Just my opinion.
I actually really really enjoy Freddy's Dead.
👍👍
We don't need another Nightmare on elm street movie if they never made another one again that be great.
The new Scream movie shows that there's always room for a franchise that needs a good movie to redeem it all, especially after the negative hate of Scream 4, it was a breath of fresh air.
@@brandonspain12345 we don't need t just keep making a movie over and over and over and Scream 6 is coming to prove about killing something
no 2 definitely the most disquieting .
How about Maximum Overdrive.
10:20 no Freddy's dead will always be the worst of Elm Street movies as well as one of the worst horror sequels ever made! It makes the remakes look good
ANOES movies are awesome the dream demon 😈
I would like a tv show if we can't get any more films
Watch 1 and 3 then let that sit for a while before watching any of the others
