I decided that Freddy Krueger deserved his own topic here. Mr. Green

Anyway I'm a big fan of the series, mostly because of the "Killer in your dream" idea since it makes it different from the other slashers made before it. noddy

The first one is a classic with good special effects (For the budget and year it was made), characters and soundtrack... while the sequels to follow were not as good as the first and lost the horror side (Well ANOES 2 is mainly horror but it was more disappointing the the other sequels IMO, ANOES 3 had the horror/comedy side and New Nightmare was the return of the horror), I still enjoy watching them. winky

Also Freddy Krueger is one of my favorite characters. FreddyK

Most fan made trailers of movies are not especially good. This one, made for the ANOES remake, is IMO an exception and is surprisingly decent. To watch it click the link: http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/30833/cool-elm-street-remake-fan-trailer

That's pretty darn good. I like that he's on fire and his blades are really hot.

Funny thing. Just today I was helping my little brother do a fake commercial for a school assignment, and there's a part where I play Freddy Krueger in it. I guess I have a bit of a dream of getting cast as Freddy Krueger myself.

The ANOES remake film may actually be a prequel to the 1984 film, depicting Fred Krueger before he was torched. Read more: http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_6630.html

Good video, I found it funny, tell your brother that someone who makes comedy videos liked it. topper very funny

Also I liked how you handled Freddy, you are good at the evil laughter. However I think it would have been better if your face was covered/hidden in darkness, since I could tell you didnt have any burn makeup on and that would have made you more creepy IMO. winky

(Side Note: Nice Freddy glove, was it brought from a shop or is it a homemade one?. heyo big grin )

Thanks for the compliments. And good point. Wish I'd had some sort of Freddy mask, though. Would have made the video so much better.

EDIT: I can't take compliment for all the laughter, though. Some if it is mine. And some of it is Robert Englund's.

I tried not to show it much, because it's just some knives duct-taped to a glove. But it works for the brief shots it was in.

If you were kept in the dark and had a Freddy mask on, IMO you would have looked very creepy. winky

Yep. I've got three brothers, and the one in the video is the youngest. I think he's a Freshman now.

Hopefully, if I ever do another Freddy video, I'll have a much better costume by then. But still, good advice.

Thanks. big grin Good to see that another Freddy fan approves. I think it's also worth noting that your interest in the Freddy movies was a big reason I decided to check some of them out. I'm glad I did.

Latino Review has posted a short video that offers a "first look" at the ANOES remake script. It contains a few mild spoilers but is otherwise an interesting preview of what we can expect from the ANOES remake film, which is tentatively scheduled for a theatrical release in 2010. To see this video review of the remake script click the link: http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-a-look-at-platinum-dunes-nightmare-on-elm-street-6448

I hope Robert Englund can get into this film, even if only in a cameo appearance. winky

For a time the consensus has been that Robert Englund would not appear in the ANOES remake. Recent comments by those in charge of producing this remake suggest they are going to at least offer Englund a smaller part in the film. As to whether Robert Englund accepts this smaller role remains to be seen. winky

Actor Jackie Earle Haley has been tentatively cast to play "Freddy Krueger" in the ANOES remake film: http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_14799.html

Haley's a good actor and should be able to pull off the role well. winky

I do like that. Though Freddy has a developing double chin, it is still cool.

Haley was awesome in Watchmen. Pretty much the only thing I liked about that movie. I like Robert Englund a lot, though. Nobody's ever gonna top him. But Haley is about the best choice they could have made besides Englund himself.

Wes Craven seems a bit unhappy about the remake. I still hope it's good, but I respect Wes Craven. They should have gotten his blessing or kept him involved in it.

I wasn't aware the script for the ANOES remake had already been written. I'm not sure I'd want to read it in advance either. This remake is a film I'd likely go to see in a movie theater so I wouldn't want to know too many details in advance. winky

I wonder if his disdain is in regards to the film's plot or other details or because he's not involved in the production of the movie itself.

I also thought ANOES 2 was disappointing... but I didn't find it a terrible sequel, just average (5/10) IMO and I also disliked the towel whipping and Jesse's screaming. topper

It could be worst... if Daniel (Blackdeath0001) was using his George voice to overdub Robert Englund's Freddy voice. loco

If a 5 out of 10 is average to you, Matthew then what would qualify as "terrible" on a scale of 1-10? heyo

I don't find that picture impressive, it would be better if he was wearing his Red and Green sweater instead of that T-Shirt.

Bear in mind, Matthew that this is an impromptu(unstaged) set picture: the picture itself isn't a lot to look at but rather is just a sneak peek, if you will, to whet the appetites of die hard fans of the ANOES films and the character Freddy Krueger.

Personally, I believe Jackie Earle Haley is the best casting choice not named Robert Englund to play Krueger: he's an accomplished actor. That, along with what hopefully will be a decent story and what I would expect will be great makeup effects, will make the ANOES "reboot" film decent.

I'm not even going to bother to actually watch the remake.
Since in my opinion there is only one Freddy.
