Freddy’s Dead is hands-down, the scariest episode of Roseanne I have ever seen.

[@RebelKingfrom1995]

I loved Freddy's Dead. I first saw it in passing on UPN or WB back in the early 2000s but i later bought the movie when I was in 9th grade and for a while, i watched some of it every morning before school. Hell, it even inspired me to create my own stories.

[@CoolArrow003]

Freddy a “recovering burn addict”is my new head cannon. 1:07:00

I meant victim! But when I said recovering, my brain jumped to addict! Like "recovering heroine addict"

For some reason, when i was younger I use to always think that Tank Girl starred Gwen Stefani. I swear there is an alternate universe where Gwen Stefani is Tank Girl.

Met Alice Cooper at a convention once, super nice guy, finally saw him live last October and not only did he play "The Man Behind The Mask", but Jason walked out on stage and killed a girl with a machete. You gotta see him live if you get the chance

[@Boomstick87]

I'm always going to have a soft spot for Freddy's Dead. I remember recording it onto a VHS tape back when it premiered on Pay-Per-View back in '92. Watched it all the time as a kid. This was the Freddy I was most familiar with until I finally saw the other Nightmare films later on. Even more than the movie itself, I always loved how the end credits did a recap of the entire franchise to that awesome Iggy Pop song! Made me excited to check out the other movies.

[@TheSlashTraxNetwork]

I love that Nintendo told the filmmakers no on using the power glove and new line said eh screw it and did it anyways :) like "I"LL DO WHAT I WANT B*TCH!" Freddy Does What NintenDON'T

Billy Zane was the bomb in Phantom yo! Such a great film!

[@kadosho02]

[@MrBroon]

This movie holds a real special moment for me... it was the first rated R movie my dad took me too, i was very young like 6 which still surprised me.. my older brother came too which made it feel like guys night out and made me feel older. Like you tony, i was watching horror movies way too young than i shouldve been and actually seen part 1 before this, and only heard scenes from word of mouth about Parts 2 thru 5. Three things really stayed in my brain since that early viewing. The map scene and the video game scene were so hilarious to me, and i thought it was the coolest thing ever. Third, the end credits montage absolutely BLEW my mind away. As a 6 year old seeing flashes of some of the most insane shit in the series of movies was overload for me. For years since i slowly seentl he rest of the series, that montage and scenes were burned in my head. It was joy to see those scenes when i finally ended up watching 2, 3, 4 and 5 later on. Thanks for letting me relive this!!

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

I do agree with you tony. This film may be underrated but I think the comedic tone, especially the one liner puns, that Freddy does make it work. And to answer your question Tony the thing that freddy did with that one Stoner kid was from the Nick Arcade show. Like these one liners. 14:12 - The Demonic Warlock of Dreams 38:21 - Dr. Krueger's hearing Aid 43:15 - Now I'm playing with power.

Yeah I'm late but just found this out ...when Freddy sends John Doe across the springwood border he sends him ten years in the past ...which is why the beginning says "ten years from now" all the kids are dead ...so crossing the line into springwood is crossing a time jump which may explain why nobody remembers Carlos Spencer and John Doe

[@HackTheMovies]

Wait....Holy shit...

[@michaelevans9675]

I actually have a soft spot for this one. It’s the Freddy movie that came out the year I got into horror. I’ve always loved it & always will. People, many people, hate it. I don’t care. It’s super nostalgic for me.

[@MagickYoga]

This was the first horror movie I kept having my mom rent over and over again when I was in elementary school. it was definitely the first horror movie I got to choose and watch alone I always loved the historical parts and Iron Butterfly. Phantasm and children of the corn my older brother scared me with and pumpkin head was my older cousins favorite that we watched after his parents went to sleep when I was 6 which is the only movie I had a nightmare from that I remember till this day at almost 40 years old

Great guest this episode. I'll have to look her up.

[@MrFilbot]

I have a fan theory that they successfully kill Freddie every time, but they still dream about him in their subconscious giving him new life. If something traumatic happens to you it will get “filtered” through your dreams.

[@N01RxN3K0]

I would recommend seeing Alice Cooper live Tony. I saw him at the Palace Theater and it was a great show. Dude still rocks.

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

Saw him last October and Jason Voorhees walked out and killed a girl on stage during "(He's Back) The Man Behind The Mask". I almost cried from joy

[@hypnocilicdreams]

So hyped to listen to this now because I watched it just the other day!

[@dragondude9637]

The only problem is the last part was made 3D which worked well in the cinema, but most of the home releases didn't have 3D and it just looked odd. Some home releases did have 3D glasses, but it just didn't work as good as the theatre version.

[@luvaboy772]

6:07 I first saw this in 2000 on BET. I was wondering at the time why BET was showing a 'Nightmare' movie until I realized it was because of Yaphet Kotto. I remember finding it cheesy and not scary because of Robert Englund's rubbery Freddy makeup.

[@ConstantineFurman]

It was never meant to be scary.

[@luvaboy772]

Nightmare was the first horror series I was genuinely afraid of AND a fan of (later in life); however, Phantasm was the series I didnt watch until I was grown. The VHS box AND previews use to scare the f**k outta me!!! I didn't watch it until my 30's😂😂😂

If it makes everybody feel better, maybe the entire town was on that hypnocil

[@NavySharkz]

Interesting theory. Only question I would have is why would the adults need Hynocil when Freddy only kills kids? Or did you mean that they got on Hypnocil after all their kids got killed?

[@TandLtoys]

@NavySharkz Well, I would have to think if you look at part 3 Nancy is already an adult and she's taking it. If you look at up to freddie versus jason, everybody in the town knew about it and is on it

[@NavySharkz]

@@TandLtoys I thought about Nancy taking it too. I always chalked her Hypnocil usage up to a PTSD type of situation. She takes it to prevent ever having that happen to her again. Yup, they have it in Freddy vs. Jason but again it's only kids using it.

[@TandLtoys]

@@NavySharkz Yeah, but look where they had to go get it. If they knew they had to get it in the hospital. That means they're prescribing to people At the end of the day, it all chokes up to how we want it to think about it

[@NavySharkz]

@@TandLtoys True. I'd say it's also a big plot hole in how and why Springwood became populated with so many kids after Nightmare part 6. Maybe the adults thought that it was safe to start having kids again?

In the beginning after Freddy hurls John out of the dreamworld the barrier closes as Freddy tries to escape Springwood. It was collecting the souls of Carlos, Spencer, & John that he was able to escape Springwood

[@ConstantineFurman]

No, it was Maggie. He wasn't able to leave on his own. He has to be in someone's mind. John was now an amnesiac, so he couldn't travel with him. But inside, say Maggie or Jason's mind, he can leave Springwood. Collecting the souls of Carlos, Spencer, and John would mean nothing anyway because Freddy is engorged on souls in this movie. He's the most powerful in this film that he is in the entire series. Having wiped out the youth population of Springwood gave him godlike powers to influence reality.

[@talariswatts-el9196]

Great review. I think the reason people trash this movie is because of the comedy and Freddy "no longer being scary". But I don't mind the humor. I think everything else works. The story, the dream sequences are creative and I ft it wasa satisfying end to the franchise. In addition I always felt that Amanda gave Freddy up for adoption as soon as she gave birth to him and that Freddy got married and didn't start killing kids until Katherine was around 5 or 6.

[@LegacyFable]

I would love to see a weird action movie version of nightmare on elm Street where a group of kids really Into d&d and they go into the dream world and they all have classes and a part to play and they gotta take down Freddy and his dream demons it would be wacky and awesome imo

[@medes5597]

That was basically one of the original plots of this. For a while there was a plot involving Freddy being up against "the dream police" who in at least one version were all former victims who had gained new powers from similar dream demons to Freddy and were battling Freddy in action sequences.
