Favorite Nightmares


What is your favorite nightmare on elm street? I'd say part 3 had some rounded characters you could root for, the special effects were great and really blended the fantasy elements with the horror and we got nice character development with Nancy. Freddy was still scary.

The first three in general are my favourite. The rest I don't care for.

The one I like the most? It's hard to say but it would be either the first or the third.

The original with Nancy will always hold a special place in heart as being one of my first horror films.

I love part 2, 3, 6, and New Nightmare. Dream Warriors is the obvious choice, but Freddy's Dead was a blast of 3D backstory, and New Nightmare has such a meta weirdness about it. Freddy is my hero.

I thought his back story was near in six. I hope someday we get a prequel.

We already did. Tobe Hooper directed it, Robert Englund played Freddy, they did the whole courtroom bit, and him getting burned to death. Freddy's Nightmares.

I rember that episode. It was pretty good. I like the twin element. But still I love a movie. Imagine showing those scenes mixed with six, Freddy vs Jason dream demons and adding in the nightmare on elm street book filler for one film. That would be amazing. Marge stealing the glove and her husband throwing the cocktail burning him alive.

That's a tough one for someone like me who is so in love with the franchise.

Nightmare 2 was the first one I saw.
Nightmare 1 was the creepiest.
Nightmare 3, first in the theater
Nightmare 4 is far from scary, but most entertaining in all other ways.
Freddy vs Jason had the BEST kills.
New Nightmare was the most creative approach.
