1, 3 and New Nightmare (the Nancy trilogy) has always been the trilogy for me. Wes and Heather were the special sauce.

[@jamiemcconnell7844]

exactly they are the only ones that i really watch anymore

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

Agreed, the rest are almost unwatchable for how poor they are

What makes this trilogy so unique is: #1: Iconic villain #2: Fantastic special effects #3: Memorable moments #4: Strong female heroines #5: Made the slasher genre good again as it was starting to get stale by 1984.

[@ophe1867]

You forgot the perhaps most important aspect... relatability... After you watched the movie you would go to bed... people of all ages have had nightmares, and it's very easy to imagine them becoming real..

[@DomH75]

Agreed! Not only were the heroines great, but they didn't diminish the heroes to make the heroines look great either. Alice Johnson is one of the great heroines of fantasy cinema!

[@LiirThropp2687]

Freddy was honestly terrifying in the original film. As a kid, he was the most horrifying thing I'd ever seen. And knowing what he was in his human life, there's nothing worse. He hurt little children. The lowest of the low. The first 3 films kept that and didn't make him quite such a goofball. The later movies seemed to forget what he was. He's not a comedian. He's a monster. Even though he did make a few jokes in Dream Warriors, he wasn't quite the Freddy's Dead level of ridiculous.

[@ericsmith1508]

I get what you are saying, and I do agree, but think of it like this. What if he was real? Someone like him when he was human doing those things to those kids, and while he did it, he's having that much fun with it! If you keep that in mind while he's cracking wise, if you remember that while those children were trapped in his boiler room dungeon, screaming out in abject terror, begging him to stop, screeching with ever hoarsening voices for their mommy to come and save them... It makes his wisecracks hit in a whole different way... And yeah, admittedly it is hard to keep that in mind because his jokes take you out of the moment, and it is a really hard thing to fit into a healthy mind so we don't WANT to think about it!

2 has the best Freddy makeup of the entire franchise. Those reddish brown eyes and witch nose still haunt me

Freddy was truly frightening in 2. Very little comedy. He was vicious, aggressive, and almost always very darkly lit. He came across as genuinely threatening. People tend to forget about that because Jesse's stuff was so unintentionally campy.

[@bobbysealejunior6590]

For me it’s 1,3,&4.

[@thecunninlynguist]

The "trilogy" was unique in showing how powerful Fred had become within that time span. We got glimpses of his power in nightmare 1...then his expanded power in 2...and arguably his peak in 3 (if we ignore FD)

[@thielnineteen]

When I was about 10 years old, Freddy had already been a reocurring star in my nightmares. I was always terrified of him, but fascinated at the same time. I think that is what makes characters like this so great. Nightmare on Elm Street is still my all time favorite horror franchise 30 years later, even though it horrified me as a child.

[@nellywilliams2776]

I wonder why no one ever talks about the cut scene with Nancy and her Mom talking in their basement about Freddy. The cut scene makes the parents of Elm Street motive for vigilante justice make much more sense. I didn’t see the deleted scene until almost 30 years after initially viewing the film. Freddy basically kill3d Nancy, Tina, Glen, Rod and the other Elm Street kids older siblings!! They didn’t even know they had older siblings.

[@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594]

Everyone ignores or doesn’t understand 2, but 2 is honestly one of my favorites. The way I take it ties to the idea that Freddy needs fear and notoriety to kill. Like Jesse comes into the story at a time when the murders of the first film have been almost forgotten, besides the idea that Nancy Thompson went crazy after seeing Glen’s murder. Eventually with the passing of time, Freddy has lost his power to outright kill in dreams but not the ability to influence in them. When Jesse comes in, he’s struggling with the shame and fear that comes from being closeted, and Freddy can sense that fear so he uses it to invade Jesse’s body and bring himself back into the real world, and he uses the attack at the pool party to strike fear in the community again. I also read the ending of that movie as very queer empowering. Like Freddy is feeding off of Jesse’s fear of himself, and when Jesse finds the power to turn that fear supply off he ends Freddy’s hold on him. And the reason Freddy is able to come back in 3 is because his massacre at the pool has drummed up enough fear for Freddy to kill in dreams again.

[@trinaq]

I always admired how strong and resilient the female heroines were in this franchise, especially Nancy, who is the first example who springs to mind whenever you hear "Final Girl."

[@jameswatkins5483]

1, 3 and 4 are the true trilogy for me

[@Look-at-the-ghost]

[@Quethatguy]

Me too! With 3 being my favorite one

[@ianblake3224]

4 is the batman forever of the franchise. Love the soundtrack too.

[@jonw8694]

Yes. Part 2 often feels like it the script was originally for a completely different horror movie, and they then inserted Freddie into it, especially when Freddie can randomly appear in the real world at the pool party and still act like he's in a dream.

[@shadowyuki171]

Facts!

[@miguelramirez2630]

I take part 2 as Nancy drained most of his energy so he needed people to remember and fear him again to get strong enough to kill again in the dream world. Like they kind of showed in Freddy v jason...he needed Jason to make kids fear him again.

[@martharojas584]

[@allirogorilla]

Great subject - Love Nightmare on Elm Street. Those "rocks" thrown at Tina's window weren't rocks ... They were teeth. yeah, look real close. (Gives an even greater darkness to that scene, huh?) Also we knew Tina wasn't the main character throughout the film , after all, Nancy is the one on the Poster, and The caption reads: "If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming, she won't wake up at all." - Also Nancy is shown, right away to be the "Moral compass" - the smart girl - I don't see why people would think she wasn't the lead role all along. Oh by the way - that wasn't a goat - it was a sheep. It's symbolic. (Lamb to slaughter - "Counting sheep to sleep" - even may have a religious significance.) The scene in which Tina is standing in her white body bag, her feet surrounded by squirming eels, (just before the centipede comes out of her mouth) was very religiously symbolic as a Virgin Mary statue with snakes at her feet. Wes Craven went deep while remaining subtle in his technique. The first Nightmare on Elm was the best for fear - and kept Freddy's "smart-ass" to a minimum - using his words as threats and to insight fear and not for some kind of "4rth wall break entertainment value." This, Freddy, in my opinion, was the best Freddy.

[@chrish3126]

This series also shows us the evolution of Heather Langenkamp's acting ability. In 1 she's..... trying her best let's say lol. But by New Nightmare she's really grown into quite a good actor

[@DomH75]

Nice video! Elm Street is a strange series because it has what I consider to be 'series films' and 'anthology films.' For me, the original film, 3,4 and 5 form a perfect series. We go from Freddy's emergence as a threat, through the Dream Warriors, the rise of the Dream Master up to Amanda Krueger, Freddy's mother, taking the burden upon herself to imprison Freddy for all eternity. The Dream Child is a terrific ending and I'm glad it was never undone. It's also a film I appreciated much more as an adult than as a teenager. Meanwhile, Freddy's Revenge, Freddy's Dead, New Nightmare and Freddy vs Jason are anthology films. I consider them the equivalent of a book of Freddy short stories: quirky one-off tales that go outside of canon.

[@Yeaster]

Grady should’ve been Jesse’s love interest instead of Lisa. Dream Warriors would make a sick RPG.

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

It would have been good if they were a couple but we all know that in the early 80's they wouldn't have got away with that storyline.

[@dmcginnis1000]

I find the “soft reboot” interpretation of 2 interesting but considering how much emphasis is placed on Freddy’s power being on a spectrum (more souls=more power), I find the view that Freddy during the 2nd film is trying to regain power (sort of like in Freddy v Jason) more satisfying personally. I think Freddy’s desperation in the beginning conveyed this to me; his lack of quips, to borrow an observation from a tv show, underscores his lack of strength in his current circumstance.That is just my opinion but I think it would actually make the first 3 movies feel more connected and give more weight to Nancy’s initial battle with Freddy.

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

I like the second one but then again I liked them all in one way or another

[@dmcginnis1000]

@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax I agree with you. Considering all of the different opinions from the creative minds across the first three movies, I know viewing this as a traditional trilogy is really built on fan interpretations. Still, there is so much there which makes me think about what could of been, like exploring what it might have been for Nancy to have been viewed as her mom’s killer (never acknowledged in text but seems like a reasonable assumption based on story details), the role her dad might of had hurting Freddy by keeping his name out of public domain, how the events of the 2nd movie could have caused the new spike in deaths preceding the 3rd and maybe the idea that dream powers are a byproduct of having had dreams with Freddy. Sigh…minor vent over.

[@jeremyhopkins9222]

Or you can just skip number 2. It’s not a real NOEM anyway. It’s a dolled up installment. That’s the real reason it’s so different.

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

To me the 'Dream Trilogy' of 3, 4 and 5 is the Nightmare on Elm Street trilogy, a trilogy that a lot of people overlook, and these three flows so well if you watch them back to back. Stylistically Nightmare 3 is more similar to 4 and 5 than 1 and New Nightmare. The three films have good continuity with cast carried over from one to the next and introduced Freddy's backstory with Amanda Krueger in 3, established the Dream Master Alice in 4 and wrapped it up in 5. I think 1 and New Nightmare are good opening prologue and epilogues for the trilogy of 3-4-5 in the middle, making it a nice 5-film saga.

[@Dr._Mambo]

I love revenge. Robert is dark as hell in this movie.

[@DavidDrouant]

too bad most scenes with Fred were with a different actor

[@edwardsanchez3708]

The 1st one is more hardcore and a creepier one all around but the 3rd one my favorite is a perfect combo of action, great cast and horror. Part 2 was soso. I loved watching these with my aunts uncle's and cousins in the mid 80s.

[@erickleefeld4883]

Robert Englund’s cameo in Stranger Things 4 really worked as his grand sendoff from playing Freddy, and passing the torch/claws to the next dream-haunting monster. (Also, the character Will’s entire character arc is a long-form reboot of Nightmare 2’s story, about being a closeted gay teen boy in the ‘80s.)

[@JenMistress]

I've often seen it as Glen is the boy next door type, where as Rod is the bad boy type. So really, getting both extreme opposite sides in the same movie. But yeah, Nancy I'll say ranks up there as one of my fav final girls in horror movies. She is sooooooo badass, I love it! Anyways, thank you so very much, did enjoy your video.

[@jokey360]

I feel like NOES 4 should be included to truly have the trilogy. It was so satisfying to see some of the dream warriors come back (even though they didn't last long). Also NOES 4 has one of my favorite movies opener songs (from Tuesday Knight). ❤

[@ImJustMe39]

Something you need to consider with A Nightmare on Elm Street is all the controversy that surrounded its filming and release. There were protests by christian groups at movie theaters. They latched on to Freddy being a child murderer and went further claiming he was a full-blown murdering pedophile. Then there was the MPAA threatening to not allow the release unless anyone purchasing tickets/attending the movie had to show ID proving they were 18, and no one under the age of 17 would be allowed in. If you were under 18, you had to have a parent or guardian 18 or older with you, and you needed ID to prove ages and guardianship. So all this made young horror hounds like me have to see this. I was 16 and didn't have my license yet(so no ID). The girl I was dating was in the same boat. I worked at a grocery store with a really cool cashier. She and her husband were both horror junkies. So we made plans to go see it at midnight showing about a week or so after the initial release. We get there. Gary goes up to get all our tickets, and the cashier asks for ID. All our IDs. No ID. No ticket. We'll fuck me Freddy. My girlfriend and I had to see another movie. It ended up being Purple Rain(this made the 3rd time I had seen it). I didn't see A Nightmare on Elm Street for about another 3 years.. on video.. on a tiny 20-inch television. But that was life growing up in the 80s.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

I think the poster for Dream Warriors was made during pre-production when no one had any clue what the movie was going to be. Look closely. NONE of those people actually appear in the movie.

[@jonw8694]

The big problem with trying to say that part 2 is a soft "reboot" is that it directly references Part 1 on multiple occasions, so there is no way it can be a reboot. Instead, let's call it what it really was : a mis-step that they had to course correct in part 3. I enjoy the movie as a stand alone, but don't consider it as part of a "trilogy" with parts 1 and 3.

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

I agree with the concept of an Elm Street trilogy. The first film is the best - spooky and effective. The second film is fairly underrated - weird and homoerotic but Freddy comes across as truly dark and scary and the movie expands the lore just a bit. The third film is my personal favorite - creative, interesting, and brings together all the elements needed to wrap up both Nancy and Freddy's stories nicely. All the other Elm Streets are just disposable non-canon fun to me.
