Cracked.com analyzes the series

So, Cracked.com just posted an analysis of the series that explores it as a metaphor for growing up. The first few films are about being a teenager, the first about puberty, the second about sexuality, and the third about drugs. #4 and #5 are about young adulthood, the fourth being about college and the fifth being about becoming a parent. Freddy's Dead and New Nightmare are about middle age, Freddy vs. Jason is about wistful nostalgia for our youth. And finally, the remake... well, that's just too hilarious to spoil, but suffice it to say that the author was not a fan.

It may not be a particularly insightful exploration of the series, but it's still an entertaining one, at least.
