They call New Line "the house that Freddy built," and they definitely do acknowledge there'd be no Lord of the Rings without Freddy, which is awesome. In fact, Peter Jackson wrote a script for part 6 and his idea would have been a million times better than the garbage fire Freddy's Dead ended up being.

As outlandish and fictional as this plot seems, Writer/Director Wes Craven actually based the idea of these kids dying in their sleep on the newspaper article of the L.A. Times about a family who escaped from Cambodia and came to the US and their son started having nightmares that someone was after him. So he started staying awake for like days at a time. Until one night he finally fell asleep, his family was relieved, and suddenly they heard screaming from the kid's room. When they finally got to him, he was dead.

It's honestly a bit hard when it comes to recommending the sequels. *Nightmare 2 is more a spin-off than a sequel but is quite dark in tone. *Nightmare 3 is a direct sequel to 1 and usually regarded the best of the sequels. *Nightmare 4 follows 3 but is the turning point where Freddy really starts spouting his one liners. *Nightmare 5 follows 4 but despite some interesting ideas it is where the quality starts to drop. *Nightmare 6 is another spin-off and universally seen as the worst in the series (it is the low point of the franchise and I would not recommend) *New Nightmare is seen as the other best sequel and has a very meta story that was the groundwork for Scream (I personally wasn't a fan, but I'm just one person) *Nightmare 2010 is a reboot of the original but apart from making Freddy more of a monster, it is inferior to the original. I guess, if you're interested in following one storyline, watch 1, 3, 4 and 5, If you're interested in the franchise as a whole, watch all except for 6 and 2010

One of Wes Craven’s other films worth a look is the original The Hills Have Eyes.

He has a blueprint of the glove autographed by the designer and by Robert Englund

Honestly wasn’t that bad of a film, had sum interesting new elements it tried to introduce too like the phantom sleeping (i think it’s called), the gore was great too, and the actor who played Freddy and Quinton (can’t remember if that’s his name) did great. The thing that weighed down the film heavily was that it tried to be a shot-to-shot remake, if it was a little different then it coulda been a solid film.

Wes Craven always had a fascination with booby traps. They even show up in the movie The Last House on the Left his very first movie. He also always had a fascination with dreams an the real world. In a deleted scene when Nancy goes into the basement with her mother. Her mother says every kid on Elm Street had a brother or sister. That includes Nancy as well but Freddy Krueger killed them. About the sequels if you want to I say go for it but keep in mind that Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Is the Black Sheep of movie franchise literally in a documentary about Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The movie studio even admits that fact. They openly admit it's weird and it makes no sense whatsoever what they did with Freddy Krueger. They Admit that the movies director went way off track. For some reason and they do not know why he made all decisions and choices did. Thats why New Line asked Wes Craven to come back an make the 3rd. Movie to get Nightmare on Elm Street back on track to correct. What the director did in the second movie then New Line made sure it stayed on track. With Freddy Krueger's powers and limitations that he had in this first movie. Wich the director of the second movie. Completely ignored and changed them for whatever reason in the second movie. But Wes Craven fixed it then New Line made sure. Freddy Krueger had the same powers and limitations as this movie. Up till Wes Cravens New Nightmare but the power changes make actual sense in that movie.

Hi Tim ! You will read all kind of comments about the sequels. Many different opinions about which ones are good or crap. The only real advice I could give, is to make your own opinion by watching them, and not let you influenced by the majority. It seems that in the U.S. at least, the 3rd one is the most appreciated amongst the sequels, and most people denigrate the remake. I actually found the remake very good, it's my third favorite entry in the franchise after the original one, and Wes Craven's New Nightmare (the 7th movie). And as I loved the 3rd when I was a teenager, nowadays I'm much more critical towards it, and consider it still better than 2 and 5 that are the only opuses I don't like, but not as good as 4 and kinda even with 6. All that to say that evrybody has it's own ranking, that I will watch if you decide to react to all of them, but won't be pissed if you don't. Just do as you pleased, and make your own opinion !
