Most films either make it out here late or NEVER. Matter of fact, The Expendables just got here a week or 2 ago. Though it wasn't anything fantastic, I was entertained at least. And just to keep this post on topic--->I wish Sly, Statham, Li and every other muscle-bound geezer in that flick elbowed, choked, clotheslined, knifed, ignited, detonated, and dropkicked every Freddy film after part 1.   Signed, Johnny Rambo   P.S. Don't know about Kick Ass part 2

I voted Myers, but only really for the first film. It was the perfect killer depiction IMO. The guy didn't talk, he wasn't in a feckin' hurry (that alone was a bit scary), and you never wanted to let him out of your sight. Beyond that, the original Don Post Shatner mask still gives me the willies. (It never looked good again after the original either).

Completely agree ... the classic Universal horrors are the daddies of the modern day horrors. I prefer them

[Mr. Not]

Actually, maybe I should have chosen Charles Lee Ray. He's a voodoo serial killer, that's pretty bad ass!

I put Freddy Krueger.

 

Back in my freshman year of college (first semester at least), I spent way too much time playing the Nightmare on Elm Street pinball machine at my school's arcade. Sometimes I would even go on the weekends.

I couldn't agree more- Freddy is welcome in my dreams any night! Hehe...

I have to say, 2112Oracle, I was quite relieved to see your post! I just got into the Nightmare on Elm Street movies earlier this year, and it was only a few weeks ago I was able to admit to myself that I had a bit of thing for him, after an embarrassing and unexpected encounter with a guy at the grocery store on Halloween who was dressed as Freddy Krueger- let's just say I got a little too enthusiastic about the costume... right in front of my husband.

Anyway, it's nice to know I'm not alone and probably not completely crazy!

But I also have a high tolerance and big soft spot for camp value and the sequels are overflowing with it. So it's almost worth it to me for that alone, but you add Robert Englund's committed and enthusiastic performance as Freddy, and all the wonderfully creative kills, and it ceases to matter much anymore if the plot is that great or if the other actors aren't the best they could have found. The Nightmare on Elm Street sequels are just fun, and I find if you go into them just to have a good time they don't disappoint.   And RushHead666, I have to second you, New Nightmare was a great movie. I would recommend it to anyone who liked the original Nightmare on Elm Street, but couldn't get in to movies 2-6.

After reading the posts here, I rewatched Dream Warriors last night and I have to say it's probably my favorite of the sequels, dated and cheesy at times or not. I love that they brought Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon back, and I liked Patricia Arquette and Laurence Fishburne in their roles. The story was better than most of the seuqels too. And I still have that Dokken song stuck in my head! The 2nd movie is pretty bad, but I think it still has it's charms. I think either Dream Child or Freddy's Dead would be my pick for worst of the Nightmare on Elm Street series. I definitely agree with you about the Nightmare on Elm Street remake though. I don't even understand why they felt the need to do it. Freddy vs. Jason came out in 2003 and made more money than any of the Freddy or Jason movies, and they didn't have to change anything, it's still a big draw! They should've at least kept Robert Englund. They wouldn't even have to worry about his age being a factor with all the makeup they have to do for the character! I hope they don't make anymore remakes/sequels to it.

I had to go with Pinhead.

Halloween is a great independet film, but Micheal Myers pisses me off. Coincidence is on his side so no one sees him, he has the unexplainable ability to be everywhere at once. In other words, it's too illogical for horror-fiction. The main character Laurie saves it though.

 

 

The Sawyer Family is the best hands down, they vary and are all complete psychos. Texas Chain Saw Massacre is such a twisted film, but so interesting and thrilling to watch. I don't like it when horror movies are based on true stories however, I find that immoral, but Ed Gein was undeniably an interesting person.
