Through Nightmares 2 to 8 which Freddy do you like or hate?

[Thrill Fiction]

I liked the sixth, to be honest. Yeah, it was too cartoony and even childish at times, but I enjoyed it. "Kung fu THIS, bitch!"

But my favorite is the third. Shouldn't really hafta explain why. Same reasons as you guys, probably.

The only one I didn't like was "New Nightmare". It was like Wes Craven was trying to create some kind of real-life mythology off Freddy's existence. I mean, an ancient evil entity that uses a pop culture horror figure to manifest itself and take over the world? And it starts with a little boy? Okay, call it original or whatever, but that's lame. Even if he had intended some sort of metaphoric meaning behind it.

Yup Dream Warriors gets my vote.

New Nightmare had as much anticipation going in as this new flick. I liked the idea of from dreams to reality in the original and from film to reality in New Nightmare.

Then I saw the movie.

Dream Warriors and Dream Master were my favorites. I like funny Freddy over the darker Freddy in parts 1-2. Dream Child was kind of boring I thought and Freddy's Dead was just too full of nonsense for me. New Nightmare was pretty good.

Ah. A connesuir of comedic horror. Though we share the common ground of Dream Warriors.

I love part 2.

I liked part 2. Sort of.

But I love your opinion.

[woodenheart]

I'm not a Freddy kinda girl. I love part 1 and 2 but after that I can take them or leave 'em. It's a great watch on a rainy afternoon. I am a big Jackie Earle Haley fan... I cannot wait to see what he is going to do with the character.

Seen the supermarket clip? It's a foretaster.

hahahahahaha very cool! I dig it!! Thankyou.

Actually I hate comedy in my horror for the most part. Freddy is the exception I'd say. I think if he'd stayed as dark as he was in the first movies, he wouldn't be as popular a character as he is today because he would have been too akin to Jason and Michael. His sick sense of humor was what set him apart and that's what I enjoy.

Aside from that (and Shaun of the Dead) I need my horror horrifying.

Yeah - horrifying horror is what does it for me too. Interesting view on Freddy's pop status. You could be right. Funny is more accessible/marketable than stoic.

Hence no Candyman reboot. Yet.

Definitely. Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger was and still is very entertaining to watch. I even sat through some of the sucky "Freddy's Nightmares" episodes just to get to the segments with him.

[Mudvayne_Eternal]

New Nightmare was da bomb and my fav and Freddys Dead was by far the worst.

[HEKTIK15]

I'm partial to part 3 as my fave

[Prince of Horror]

I always though parts 4 and 5 were cool. That motorcycle kill in part 5.

[Luris Blear]

I hate the new makeup. I may change my mind after seeing the movie, which I will invariably get around to some day.

Anyway, I have the director's cut of part 5 on VHS. The ghosts make a lot more sense, and the first two death scenes are expanded on very well. No hating on that one. The Director's Cut of part 5 and (of course) part 3 are my favorite sequels.

New Nightmare was... damn. Semi psychic little kid in peril. I hate that genre. You can also hear in the director's commentary that the studios got scared of the gore in the movie. Or rather, the complete lack of gore. Absolutely my least favorite. The scenes that doesn't involve Freddy in Freddy's Dead were good. But it still has to go as my second least favorite, if in a guilty pleasure way.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

I liked 6, New Nightmare was horrible, and part 2 had the best Freddy.

I also liked 6 and also though New Nightmare was pretty bad. And Part 2 does get a bad rep but I liked it. My least favorite would probably have to be New Nightmare. And I'm a huge fan of the series. Not sure what one is my favorite since I like them all... almost.

Also not lookin' forward to the Remake, but I'm sure I'll see it the 1st night it comes out.

[BigFatOgre]

Not a big fan of the series in general. (That's why I'm kinda looking forward to the reboot.) That supermarket scene was cool as shit. Freddy being scary - no joking around, just scaring the piss out of the chick! Didn't even speak! Loved it.
1 is my favorite as it was dark and gritty - although some of the acting sucked. 2 wasn't really that bad. Which one was in 3d? That was terrible! - I only watched each one once except part 1, so I may have to go back to be fair. But I remember the rest all sucking.

[Lemmywinks]

Dream Warriors is my favorite Freddys Revenge I can do without.

[Thrill Fiction]

I agree with the stinking Freddy's Dead. New Nightmare is an accquired taste.

[Thrill Fiction]

ditto.
