Wes Craven just passed away at 76. He created Nightmare on Elm Street which was not only scary as hell but completely original. It was so different than other horror movies at the time. It’s one of my favorite horror movies of all time. He’ll be missed!
Even his very tongue in cheek commentary on mass media at the time - Shocker - was a fun horror flick. Not to mention it had a hell of a hair metal soundtrack back then.
Yes, Freddy was the shit. I love horror movies and nobody compares to Freddy. The nightmare movies - as cheesy as some of them were - and the Scream movies are up there with my faves. And some of the best ideas and concepts.
No, the first one was great, and in all honesty one of my fave horror movies of all time was Dream Warriors. However, some of them got some cheese in them.
Yeah, the first Elm Street is the only horror flick that scared me so much that I was nervous as hell walking outside in the dark going home after watching it at my Mom’s friend’s house. The rest were just plain fun slasher films - Robert Englund really made that character.
