A Nightmare on Elm Street… Freddy is back!

Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films, Horror Genres

Greetings and Salutations!

I admit it, I have largely been ignoring any of the Elm Street related hype. I know B_Sol over at The Vault of Horror is probably going to spank me, but largely I haven’t given a crap, the films aren’t really my thing… Until now! Tickle me interested with that claw Freddy! The new trailer has well and truly caught my attention.

I wasn’t allowed to watch horror movies during my youth, so my parents are entirely to blame for my adult obsession with the Macabre. However my Dad did introduce me to Twin Peaks and The Exorcist when I was fourteen, so he eventually redeemed himself. I digress, so I kind of missed the whole watching Freddy at sleepovers thing (yes I will take the shame!).

So my question to those of you who are more versed in this cornerstone of the horror genre, should I go and watch the original before this incarnation comes out? I hear Johnny Depp makes an appearance! I will defer to your judgment people, so drop me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

Meanwhile thanks to the crew at First Showing check out the trailer for the new ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street‘ below.

    Yes, check out the original. It’s actually pretty good. Johnny Depp does make an appearance and has a memorable “end.”

    I can’t wait for this. Not fond of the remake trend but the later NOES franchise films became self-parody. This looks to definitely be darker and more menacing. And i can’t wait to see what Jackie Earle Haley does with the role of Freddy. I think it will be a fresh take.
