Great ranking. I always enjoy your ranking videos, nothing like seeing everyone's differing opinions on these franchises. I've only seen the first four of this franchise, though I own the rest and will marathon it sometime soon. The first is definitely the best for me! It's a masterpiece.
One video I would like to see from you is your top 10 favourite slasher films. I think that would be very interesting. There's so many to choose from.
Anonymous Person Fantastic idea. Pinned!
Drumdums
Ha, thanks!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviewshow about me Lee brother bro 😎 and checked out my ranked of the Nightmare on Elm Street series
The perfect trilogy for me is:
- A nightmare on elm street.
- A nightmare on elm street: dream worriors.
- New nightmare.
Same perfect trilogy
Yes, those are my top 3 for sure!
Yep
Those movies are tits
Same here
Part 2 is definitely the most underrated.. Freddy was truly terrifying,, then they turned him into a clown..
I hated it the first time I saw it. Initially, I would have ranked it as one of the worst sequels ever. After watching it again I would say its one of my favorites. It still retains some of the grittiness of the first and I just love seeing the descent of the main characters sanity as Freddy uses him to do his bidding. The unintentional homo-eroticism of the movie is so hilarious. Its so obvious you cant even tell if its intentional or not.
After part 3. The Dream Warriors was fun.
I just can't stand all the the weirdest in this movie.
@N G Bad acting? Part 2 has incredible acting performances. The acting the rest of the Elm Street movies sucked so bad.
Honestly Freddy was at his most menacing in part 2.
Personally, part 2 is my favourite sequel of the franchise. That includes Dream Warriors and New Nightmare.
Great video and unique ranking man. I was surprised how low New Nightmare was
🫠
That pretty much aligns with my Nightmare on Elm Street list! Great video!
Great video! Dream warriors is my personal favorite. Keep the videos coming!
9 Freddy’s dead
8 remake
7 dream child
6 dream master
5 Freddy vs Jason
4 Freddy’s revenge
3 new nightmare
2 original
1 dream warriors
I love Revenge so much.
@Joel Johnson Holy crap the list sucks.
@Joel Johnson I think Original is the best.
@Joel Johnson In my opinon the original makeup was the best, But you do have A point that he does look more sinister In the 2nd movie, But what I think is scary about the original Is that his voice Is like robert englund voice, But when He gets more pissed he looks more sinister his voice gets all growly. I just think their was something in the orignal that the 2nd didnt have.
Man..... Drumdums has to be the best reviewer in my opinion really underrated
Isaac Villalobos Thanks so much man!!🙏
Agreed!
He's my favorite CZcams reviewer and my personal hero
Love these videos of yours! I didn't see the last couple of the Elm Street movies although I did see Freddie vs. Jason. Completely agree with your 1 & 2. Great stuff.
Thanks Kenny!
Love your ranking
Hey mate , fun video ! In every long franchise you have great , not so great and "bad" ones but when i think about this franchise it's that's it's lots of fun this franchise !
Great videos bro. I would love to see ya rank the Hellraiser movies!
I have 2 more Hellraiser reviews to do, then I'll rank them. Thanks.
Awesome video congrats on your milestone
Thanks Jack!
Love your videos! This series messed with me!
Thank you!!
Bro I fucking love your videos keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Mike!!
Awesome ranking buddy!!! I really enjoy the remake. It definitley took me by surprise when I saw it in theaters.
Great ranking bro
Elm Street 2 used to be one I struggled with. Over time, it's grown on me. Great video!
I love part 2 immensely, but it really is one of my favorite childhood memories.
Mostly agree with all your rankings. I find Nightmare part 2 to be highly underrated. The first three really do feel, to me, like the perfect trilogy. What I find most interesting about Freddy's Revenge is how you could conceivably take the plot as all one long nightmare that Jesse is suffering from. It's a long mind game that Fred is playing with the poor boy, making him dream about all these awful things. Killing people. Being possessed. Imagine a nightmare where you murder your own friends and prey upon your family.
Maybe _some_ of the scenes are real life, but there are so many bizarre moments during his supposedly wakeful state. The bird exploding, the obscene levels of heat, the flames from the toaster and so on. Then there's the pool party massacre (which feels slightly out of character for Freddy) where he just goes full Jason Voorhees on everyone and stops with his mind games. Finally there's the last scene where, despite there being an awful slaughter just the night before, everyone is getting on the school bus just a-ok as if nothing happened. Then BAM, out pops Krueger's claws and we see the beginning of the film play all over again, the bus rushing off into the desert.
All of these strange moments can be explained handily if it is one long nightmare Jesse is suffering from. Since we never see or hear of Jesse's character ever again in the franchise, and the pool party purge is not something that would just be ignored/forgotten in real life, one could even assume that he was one of the next victims of the first movie's bloodbath. Now we are seeing Jesse in the nightmare/hell that _all_ of Freddy's victims suffer in once he has taken them. Not too dissimilar from that moment in Nightmare 1 where Nancy can hear Rod, Tina, and Glen's screams while she searches through the boiler room.
Also recall how in Dream Warriors Freddy shows off the souls he has. One could assume Tina, Rod, Glen, _and Jesse_ are in there somewhere. Once Freddy is finally laid to rest, I like to imagine that all of the souls are freed then rather than in the entertaining but inferior Dream Master sequel.
Like you last comment about the souls. That would be cool for their souls to be released.
The Queer Nightmare scared me the most as a 7yr old. We had cable and I watched my Playboy, Tales from the Crypt and horror. The gayness confused and frightened my 7yr old, heterosexual little frame
I love your intros, man.
oi mm Thank you!
When I watch your videos I do your accent non stop lol good stuff man
Haha that's awesome. Thank man!
The only Nightmare on Elm Street movies that I like are the original and Dream Warriors. Out of respect for you, I did watch the entire video. I would love to see more of these "rankings" videos!
Thank you! And those 2 are definitely the best, but honestly I have fun with the whole series.
Hey man, you should try to review all of the Saw movies in the franchise before the next one comes out this October. I think you reviewed the first one but I would love to see you do the rest. I am a Saw fan and I love the history of the franchise. I want to hear your thoughts on the franchise! Keep grinding bro!
I will definitely try to get a few of them done, but I usually take my time to get the best results out of my reviews. But I'm looking forward to revisiting that franchise for sure. Thanks for the recommendation.
No problem man, anytime!
Dream Master ( forgive me i was 7 in a movie theatre with my mom and uncle covering my eyes. Its Nostalgia for me). then Nightmare 1. Dream Warriors. Freddys Revenge.FReddy vs Jason. New Nightmare. Dream Child. Nightmare Reboot. Freddys Dead. Although i have to say KUDOS to the ending of Freddys Dead for that awesome song at the end for giving us those moments dating back to the original!!!
just re-watched part 2 and really enjoyed it even more this time. I need to revisit the remake because I HATED it the first time when it came out.
2 is one of my favorites.
Great review! My favorite horror franchise of and character of all time, and our rankings are very close. I also like your take on part 2 and the remake, I feel the same about them.
Great minds brother! :p
Drumdums Hell yeah, awesome!
Drumdums coming in HOT with the rankings!!
Good job Lee. Personally, first movie, Dream Warriors and Dream Master are my favorites of franchise, but i still think that other than Freddy's Dead all other films had something going for 'em (even Dream Child which i am not fan of), and big reason is probably due to all directors who were involved in those films, and who later made some other great films.
That was great fun to watch as with all your vids. I have always liked New Nightmare but agree when it came out it seemed like horror was near over, the big franchises seemed to be winding down, obviously The Curse Of Michael Myers came a couple of years later, but then it wasn't until Scream kickstarted horror again and we got Urban Legend, Bride of Chucky, H20, I Know What You Did Last Summer etc that i fell in love with horror again.
Another point you made, i love the Nightmare score, it's my second favourite after Halloween, closely followed by Scream, Psycho, Jaws, The Exorcist and Friday The 13th.
Great ranking man! I agree with everything except the remake but you can't have it all. Very fun video!
Oh and props to the awesome drawing of Brandon Lee as Eric Draven in The Crow there on the right. Huge props.
I can’t believe I missed this one Lee. I love this!!! I so agree with your ranking 100% my Husband was even going Yep yep that is correct. Lmao as always my friend keep up the good work .
One franchise you're forgetting scream or saw franchise
I won't forget those. I promise.
Drumdums I have a channel and I review movies
Cool I'll check it out!
Drumdums how do you add clips from movies
He needed to finish the classic big 3 of horror first (Freddy, Jason, Michael). Those should ALWAYS be done first and foremost as they're the most important. Now, sky's the limit, he can do whatever he wants next.
And you add clips from movies a variety of ways. You could have the movie burned onto your computer from the dvd and take clips straight from that file by editing and splicing in Sony Vegas Pro, or you could take quick clips straight off of youtube as it is under the "fair use" regulation. Then, again, go into sony vegas, edit your video together, make it look pretty, done. Drumdums does this very well.
Thanx for giving credit where it's due to ANOES#2👏 Mark Patton is my favourite protagonist vs the darkest Freddy... the intense school bus opening is still scary!
That scene is so underrated!
Ok,im new to your site? Page? Idk..lol,but i love, love your tees!! I mean i really enjoy all of your movie reviews but where do you get these shirts? And i would love to know where to find your collectable "serial killer" figurines
Thank you Michele! I get many of them from Amazon, but Spreadshirt is another good one. I actually sell Drumdums and Killer Flicks Ts through there at my Drumdums store. I'll post the link below. Also, I like to hunt for my figures at FYE and Hot Topic. Also Amazon.

Wes Craven's story of the original nightmare on elm Street was about a kid having nightmares, scared to sleep he told him family about it he said "If I sleep, I'm scared something after me & I'll die." as they was watching TV in the living the father carried his son to bed & covered him over, he's dad being a physician and his dad demanding his son to take sleeping pills, and noticed that his son did not take the sleeping pills. and after they put their son to bed they heard a loud screaming and a rush to their son's room and before they got there he was dead.
From Best to Worst
1-Nightmare 3
2-Nightmare 1
3-Nightmare4
4-Nightmare 6
5-nightmare 5
6-Nightmare 2
7-New nightmare
xetex sorry dude, imma disagree. Freddie’s dead is just really shit and confusing and just plain bad. New nightmare was actually pretty decent tbh
Thank you for this video, Lee! I really enjoyed it. I've been a huge fan of this franchise since I was 10. Here is my ranking from least favorite to favorite:
#9 - Remake (too millennial-ly and bad CGI + no Robert)
#8 - F v J (hate Freddy's makeup and Kelly Rowland's character and agree about Kane Hodder)
#7 - Freddy's Dead (when I go into it as a comedy, it's *almost* bearable)
#6 - Dream Master (has gone down on my list over the years, love the intro song though)
#5 - Dream Child (hate the Freddy makeup but I like the gothic look of the movie)
#4 - Freddy's Revenge (much like Halloween 3, I've grown to love this cult gem)
#3 - New Nightmare (was surprised to see it so low on your list haha. Love Heather)
#2 - Nightmare 1 (I mean...)
#1 - Dream Warriors (DOKKEN!!!! And love the Nancy + Kristen duo)
Great video haha ,
Thank you!
Man I friggin love your vids and I'm stoked to see the last of the big 3 or horror finally got his series ranking from you.
Mine would be best to worst:
Nightmare 1
Dream Warriors
Freddy vs Jason
New Nightmare
Nightmare Remake
Freddy's Revenge
Dream Master
Dream Child
Freddy's Dead
Thanks so much man! And great ranking btw.
Totaly agree with your list!!!
Didn't appreciate how lowly New Nightmare was rated on this list, loved that you defended Nightmare 2. Good video.
New Nightmare is good, but for me it felt a bit watered down. Thank you!
Finally someone who likes the 2010 remake just like me
I honestly enjoy the hell out of it.
Yes i think it's overhated, i watched it after so many reviews calling it dogshit and i was like that was just mediocre, certainly it has issues, but we have dozen other worse remakes than this
Man, I really need to watch the rest of this series. I guess I have no say in ranking since I’ve only seen the first one and new nightmare, but I think New Nightmare is a masterpiece, I loved the concept and Heather’s performance is just perfection!

Finally, I got to watch this vid! Great rankings bro. I really love when you do rankings vids of any franchise. Looking forward to the Chucky rankings.

Great ranking brother!
Thanks bro!
Dream Warriors IMHO will always be the pinnacle of this series. Solid as hell ranking though! Loved it.
Thank you!
Fantastic ranking. The remake is criminally underrated and I too love it.
Yes! I enjoy it very much actually.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews I also have the same opinion on Freddy's Revenge. It gets so much unneccessary hate. Mark Patton was phenomenal in it and of course, Freddy was even more terrifying. My ranking goes:
1. Original
2. Freddy's Revenge
3. Remake
4. Dream Child
5. Dream Warriors
6. Freddy's Dead
7. Dream Master
8. New Nightmare
These are all based on sheer enjoyment. Each film has certain aspects about it that I enjoy. The reason New Nightmare is last is because I simply felt it dragged on and I enjoyed it the least. But that's the beauty about it, it's all subjective.
9. Freddy's Dead
8. Dream Child

1. Dream Warriors
You should of opened your intro with your Dokken "Dream Warrior's" cover, its so dope lol. Your Nightmare videos are the best, i agree with a lot of your list. I personally like 1, 3, 4, 7, 2, 6, 5, FvJ, then remake. What the hell is happening with the remake lol, i haven't heard anything about it. Freddy & Michael are the best icons in my opinion, even the ones that people consider bad i love regardless. Great video Lee, keep up the great work as always!!!
always had soft spot for Elm 2. loved the music and how pure evil Freddy was in it, even though i like how he went in 3 to 5 with the comedic twist, he should have always had that but good to see him so menacing in part 2
My ranking of the nightmare series is
9 Freddys Dead
8 2010 reboot
7 Dream Child
6 New Nightmare
5 Dream Warriors
4 Freddy vs Jason
3 Dream master
2 Freddys Revenge The black sheep
1 1984 nightmare on elm street
Nice to see the love for Revenge!!
Revenge is my all-time favorite. Love your list. Dream Warriors is #4 on my ranking. It's so overrated. Glad to see part 2 appreciation.
the original Nightmare on Elm Street 1984 has so much history into it it came from Wes Craven himself, like a bum outside had the look of Freddy that's where the hat came from, the claws from Wes Craven's cat, good stuff.
New sub from Horror Addicts 😁
So glad you found my channel Beth!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews took you long enough to reply! 😂
@@beths5923 😂😂😂
Surprisingly not many people ranking.l so far.
9. Freddy's Dead

7. Dream Child
6. Freddy vs Jason (I suppose)
5. 2010 Remake
4. New Nightmare
3. Freddy's Revenge
2. A Nightmare on Elm Street
1. Dream Warriors
Freddy's Nightmares is probably between Revenge and the 1984 movie more or less. I like all the weird surreal stuff in that series and it's more planned out than most of the movies.
Great ranking, im not a huge fan of nightmare but def digging them my man
I love about half these movies. Freddy is cool when he's dark. Do you like the remake?
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews surprisingly I don't mind it, saw it opening night at midnight showing, freddy was sinister
Good ranking man! I only would put Dream warriors at the first spot! And Freddy vs Jason above the Remake! Love this series so much! Have you met Robert Englund? I met him in Amsterdam last year! Awesome guy!
No I almost got to meet him in Orlando at a convention but it was cancelled due to a hurricane.
My Ranking of A Nightmare On Elm Street
1. A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors (1987)
2. A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

9. Freddy's Dead (1991)
Its illegal to say a sequel was the best one.. Unless were talking Terminator 2
Haha it should be. :p
Bullshit what about godfather 2 or aliens or scream 4
Xenomorph OVERDRIVE not scream 4 but I agree with the rest
You are forgetting Childs Play 2 and Friday The 13 The Final Chapter and Jason Lives
Xenomorph OVERDRIVE Scream 4??? Lmaooooooooooooooooooooo
Underrated Freddy line imo “if the food don’t kill ya the service will, hmmmm”. England delivers that flawlessly and it still makes me laugh.
Haha that is a solid line.
Great ranking vid man! I love Dream Warriors almost more than the original but agree that the original needs to be #1.
Yeah they're really close tbh.

You're one of few people that I know who liked the Nightmare remake Lee. I also find it interesting that you put Freddy vs Jason in this list. I did not since I don't consider that part of the Nightmare series. I liked Freddy's Dead. I thought it gave Freddy a more grounded backstory and it also gave a better understanding of his motivation for attacking the children on Elm Street. Overall, love the list Lee. Hoped you checked out mine.
Interesting rankings. I go...
3, 1, New Nightmare, 2, FvJ, 4, Remake, 5, 6.
Just watching freddys nightmares on screambox while smoking a joint stoned i love it its 2 seasons with 20 long episodes im on episode 3 and its honestly really well done and fun alot of familiar horror faces and cameos good atmosphere and best one liners from freddy i love the late 80s look and cinematography including the scores and kills
Nice! Smoke up.
Keep up the good work. Franchise rankings are always a nice thing to watch. This would be my ranking.

Completely agree with the defense of the remake. I loved how dark and vicious he made Freddy.
Also, any plans on attempting to rank the Saw series?
I agree with your ranking for the most part (not with part 4 being kind of in the middle of the list, but I should rewatch it again because it's been a while since the first time I saw it and it didn't appeal to me at all, specially having seen part 3 before); and although I love The Dream Warriors, too, I have to say that my problem with this sequel would be the climax, with Nancy's father fighting Freddy's skeleton in the real world.
I get that they were trying something different from the classic "bring Freddy to the real world" but still it is kind of a big turn off for me. But as I said, still my favourite sequel.
I have a question for you: you mentioned that The New Nightmare tried to bring the franchise through another path, and that other slasher films also took this step.
Which films from the Halloween, the Friday the 13th or the Scream do you think are their own "New Nightmare"? (apart from Season of the Witch)
I totally agree with the remake analysis
Thank you!
I do think parts 2 and 5 are truly underrated. They are my favorites with part 1!
Alex Moreira I actually grew to really appreciate 5. Love 2 immensely. Thanks for watching!

Nightmare on Elm Street 4 is my favorite of the franchise! I was so terrified of Freddy it took years for me to watch it all the way thru. Well I was at my sisters house and Nightmare 4 just came out on vhs. Of course my sister wanting to torture her little sister by putting it on lol. Fun fact I love the title track that plays during the beginning credits. Tuesday Knight.. who played Kristen in 4.. gave the vocals for that song. It's called Running from this nightmare
Well done job. Interesting to hear your reasons for the rankings. I'm not really a fan of the reboot ( probably mostly to do with being fine with the original series ) or A New Nightmare ( I know I'm in the minority , but I just found it a bit dull). My top 2 favorites are the same as yours being part1 and Part 3. Other than those 2 my rankings change quite a bit depending on my mood. Freddy' Dead would be grouped with the reboot and A New Nightmare in my bottom 3 (admittedly it is the worst of those movies, but I probably would watch it over the reboot or A New Nightmare.
i absolutely love the nightmare on elm street remake. It was one of my favorite horror movie remakes of all time.The acting was great and they had great actors and actresses they did a really great job. The characters were great and i actually was rooting them on to survive. It was a bummer to see them die but that's what makes this movie great is the deaths. It's definitely in my top 5 favorites movies in the franchise!!!
Have you done any videos on the Hellraiser films?
I've reviewed all the movies and ranked them.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE DIFFERENT THAN MINE AND THIS ANGERS MEEE!! Jk, "interesting" order, but I think ranking vids are fun
Good review though great job

I'm not a major Freddy vs. Jason hater, but respecting the source material is something they only did to a point. Jason was never afraid of water in any of the films...ever. All of the sudden he is terrified when Freddy drips some water on him.
I definitely agree with your assessment of Freddy's Revenge, though. I've always enjoyed that one quite a bit.

78th like man amazing video again!
Finally someone agrees with me about the remake actually being a solid film
ethan carpenter Yep. I think it’s awesome!
Awesome ranking and dead on the money with the placement: solid 9 for 9. Great job!
I will say though, that even though Freddy's Dead is the bottom of the barrel for the franchise, its still kinda fun in its own goofy, cornball way but certainly not scary even against a Goosebumps episode.
I guess Im kinda biased and nostalgic even for Nightmare 4,5 and 6 because they were among some of the earliest movies I remember seeing in theaters with my granpda. I'd spend a lot of weekends at my grandparents and he'd get bored and want out of the house, so my grandma would make him take me with him and he'd just go pick a horror movie, despite me being 4 years old the very first time (5 when Dream master came out). Questionable guardianship perhaps, but hey I turned out fairly normal lmao
I searched for hours, and in the end I found six rankings where dream master is number 1! I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves it!

3. New Nightmare

4. Freddy vs Jason

5. The Dream Master

6. Freddy’s Revenge

9. Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare

One & Three are the only ones I rewatch.
1. A Nightmare on Elm Street
2. New Nightmare
I absolutely loved the concept for this movie, I enjoyed every second of it. But still I think it could have been better executed, perhaps to have Robert Englund play a bigger role? there's a scene where he is painting a freddy-esque picture and they only show it once, what was that? I also think they could have made the last part where Heather becomes nancy longer, I loved that part, it worked so well, I would have liked to see more of her trapped in the movie world and cut down a bit on the hospital scenes. The Idea of freddy being a demon in disguise was cool, although I think some things on the last act where too cartoonish, like the tongue scene. It has a few flaws but I really really enjoyed it.
3. Dream Warriors
4. Freddy's Revenge
As much as I hated the fact that they completely ignored the basic idea of Freddy, after watching parts 4 through 6 I realized this wasn't actually that bad. It has far better acting and Jesse is a much better protagonist. This one also still feels like a horror movie.
5. Dream Master
Didn't care for this one, it was cookie cutter, bad acting, deaths were cool but I felt like this was a showcase of cool death scenes instead of a plot. They very obviously tried to make this a direct continuation to the 3rd one, which is why everyone from that movie is killed in the first 30 minutes, hated that.
6.Dream Child
Even worse acting, and it is very sci fi fantasy, I particularly don't think freddy works with those themes, The comic book death was kinda cool tho.
7. Freddy's dead
I could not believe what I was watching
Solid ranking!!! Mine is similar!!! Still love freddy though!
Hell yeah Freddy rocks!
Agree about Mark Patton as "Jesse" being underappreciated or not referenced enough when other reviewrs rank the franchise and it's positive stuff. What makes Nightmare 2 so scary, asside from Robert Englund, is Mark's facial expressions and the way he works his bright-colored eyes; similar to how I love Heather Langenkamp's expressions and blue eyes opening-wide when "Nancy" is panicking or in shock. They could have made great team also in the original if Mark would had played Nancy's boyfriend "Glen". Otherwise, we earned 2 great actors and characters for the first 2 (and quite distinct from each other) Nightmare movies.
Another actress that I've never seen highlighted and always impress me is Brooke Bundy - Kristen's mom at parts #3 and #4. She's energetic and realistic; she adds a lot of anxiety and scare feel. Especially her unfortunately very short scene at part #4 arguing with Kristen on her mental state, and then watching her daughter being burned; the presence of Brooke is literally on fire everytime she appears. I don't like much Nightmare #4, but her small contribution greatly elevates it to the level of the original Nightmare, even if just for the 2-3 minutes she's shown. :-( In general, "Freddy's Revenge" is my #4 favorite after Nancy/Heather trilogy (#3 New Nightmare; #2 Dream Warriors; #1 Original), and unlike most others, I much prefer 5-"Dream Child" overall plot, imagination and characters, over 4-"Dream Master".
9. Freddy's Dead
8. Dream Child
7. Dream Master
6. Freddy vs Jason
5. New Nightmare
4. Remake
3. Dream Warriors
2. Freddy's Revenge
1. Original
Nice to see some love for the remake and Revenge!!
Good ranking dude. I think Freddy vs Jason has the best Freddy we have ever gotten. I love him. He’s scary. He’s funny. Every line he delivers is great. Granted, he only gets a single kill, but he invaded Jason’s dreams several times which I loved. That’s the only time Jason’s ever been afraid of water. Deep in his subconscious
Yes Freddy is really great in FvJ.
