Never saw it or any of it's siblings and genre siblings - but I guess you might have guessed that, huh. ;)

Well, the originals of each of those series were films that rightfully spawned a series. Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, especially, are deserved classics of their genre.

View sequels at your peril, but there's usually something there in most movies that do well enough to inspire the greed of sequels.


A couple of the later Freddy movies were pretty good, as a matter of fact. But definitely hit and miss.

I have a certain fondness for most of the Freddy sequels, as they occasionally displayed some creativity in the dream sequnces and made some effort to keep things different and lively. They are easier to love than the highly repetitive Friday the 13th sequels, anyway. I do own the Freddy boxed set, and I probably view everything in it once evey three years or so, over a series of nights. I won't waste a moment trying to persuade anyone else that they should do likewise.

I would love to take a date to the theatrical re-release!

One of the best. Can't wait. Thanks!

Halloween's actually the only horror movie I really loved.

As a horror movie apologist, I like any attention that's given to the genre. I admit that I also really like three of the Nightmare films (the first, Dream Warriors, and New Nightmare). What gets my goat is the constant reissuing and "remastering" of these movies. C'mon people, when you put out a box set - that should be it. While I may or may not pick up the "infinifilm" edition, I'm sure that the HD (or BluRay) version is just around the corner.

Among video collectors, this is called "double-dipping". Bleh.

Dream Warriors was super fun. And New Nightmare was hugely clever.

Yep, those are the three good ones. I would buy a box set if it contained only those.
