[@JennCampbell]

Freddy was supposed to be the only one having fun. That's why the reboot flopped. Freddy without his sense of humor? What's the point?

[@Johnny.5.Is.Alive.]

The original film Freddy was scary (the most) there was no humour in it and he hung back more in shadows and behind things. That was a true horror film. Humour notably appeared in ‘A Nightmare on Elm St 3 - Dream Warriors’ with lines like ‘ It’s your big break in TV, cut to prime time... Bitch’ & ‘Sorry kid, I don’t believe in fairytales!’ & ‘Whatta rush!’ After this film Freddy slowly descended further into being a parody of himself loosing the scare factor. I find something that never reveals itself completely far more frightening then something on show that presents dark humour.

[@JennCampbell]

@@Johnny.5.Is.Alive. I think he was having fun then, too.

[@ratwithnoswag]

MR FREEZE-98 do you not consider slashers to be horror movies? The original was 100% meant to be a horror film. The movies that went for straight up comedy (Dream Child and Freddy’s Dead) are EASILY the worst 2 movies in the franchise. The reboot failed because it didn’t really do anything new for the series and focused way too heavily on his backstory.

[@SpaghettiYOLOKingTTV]

So we're just going to ignore the puns in the remake? People just salty it wasn't Englund. He made plenty of puns in the remake.

[@jamesrouse3466]

@@Johnny.5.Is.Alive. Yeah. A LOT of people aren't aware that Wes was adamantly against Freddy being humorous, as he felt it detracted from his more frightening nature and the moments that arise from that. This is largely evident in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street and New Nightmare, which are the only two that Wes was directly involved with. In that sense, the reboot was actually truer to Wes Craven's original vision than most of the other efforts. In the end though, Jackie Earle Hailey isn't Robert Englund and nostalgia killed the reboot's chances more than anything else. Full disclosure, I absolutely adore Robert Englund and his performances as Freddy, but I do think Jackie Earle Hailey brought a very visceral, grounded and more intense version of Freddy which I feel was unfairly panned for no good reasons other than for the sake of it not being as nostalgic.

[@TaliaIGhul]

Fun Facts: - Freddy is based on a creepy old man that scared the shit out of Wes Craven when he was a boy - The franchise title is based on the assassination of JFK, the street he was shot on was called Elm Street.

[@mathieunolet8236]

It never was until the remake. Just watch the movies dood. That was originally the idea but Craven realized it was stupid shock value but it never made it passed a first draft.

[@NoahCanFB]

From being forced to watch this movie & Friday the 13th as a kid to loving these movies as an adult. 80s horror truly was a goldmine.

[@Hugatree1]

Freddie has always reminded me of Albert Fish the real life monster who murdered children in the 1930’s and enjoyed causing pain to himself. Even down to the fact that he wore a janitors uniform and hat so children were focused on that and unable to identify his face or when they saw him in normal clothes. Either way his crimes were utterly horrific and very similar backstory of childhood abuse

[@realretrorelapse]

Albert Fish was a real jerk

[@russondaholley6415]

Albert Fish did his sick killing spree in the 1920's NOT 1930's just an FYI!

[@Karcarius]

I was watching the first Halloween when I wondered where the legend of the Boogie Man came from.I went searching and came across the story of Albert Fish.Posted it on my FB page.His crimes were so horrific that they were kept out of the papers.He was also a cannibal.Once said that the meat of a child was the best.

[@xxxYouTunesxxx]

He also ate kids

[@ShytPump]

Albert fish is the single most disturbing account I have ever read about. Once you read his letters that were sent to his victims parents you get a chilling realization of the reality those poor innocent children experienced. We watch all these movies because they're fantasy and consider them extreme and unrealistic but Albert was the real deal. And it's very very hard to feel ok when you think of what his victims went through. I'd highly suggest reading about it, simply because those children deserve for us to understand what they suffered through and we should all just hug our children and be thankful they are safe in their beds. And I'm sorry if anyone reads this whose child was lost. Didn't mean to trigger anyone. I short, Mr Fish was a fucking dick.

[@publiusvelocitor4668]

He's taking revenge, for parents of kids he killed taking revenge on him? I don't think revenge works like that. You can't avenge revenge!

[@deadlylaughterproductions]

He’s taking revenge because of what they took from him, the ability to kidnap and kill children (also his life). So, when he became a dream monster he decided to spite them and continue his rampage in their dreams where their parent couldn’t protect them.

[@HoloceneNamesake]

In concept, you can't fight evil with evil. Killing Freddy, though deemed right by the parents, was an evil act. Then Freddy selling his soul to become a Dream Master so he can continue killing children in their dreams. Ergo, in this concept, you can avenge revenge.

The Freddy makeup as well as having him almost always in shadow was done best in the original Nightmare on Elm St. and it's sequel. In #3 they didn't quite have the same consistency with the makeup, shadows, and roaring scary voice, but still great. From 4 onward there is a definite 'simplifying' of his gruesome details and he stops using the same voice from #'s 1 and 2. Goes from burn victim w/ blood patched skin to melty wax man.

Very very very good editing!

10:39 I love how Jason threw Freddy into the air

[@clementineschalchen330]

When I watched “nightmare on elm street” it was so sad when I saw him before he got screwed up he looked so cute and happy and then he was all scared and childish and fast as all hell and it was a pretty sad part of the movie and story to me

[@SavageStarlite7]

But this isn’t new. People who watched this ages ago been new this, I’m confused as to why the title is the way it is

[@samlung2724]

Even the one from like what? 2009 or 2010 movie explained his backstory

[@TiffanyRay]

@@samlung2724 you mean the one with Jackie Earl Haley playing Freddy Krueger

[@lildeejayy]

They just out of ideas that’s all

[@wlddragonsrule]

I disagree the reboot looked like a burned Kenny Chesney. And quite frankly only one person pulled Freddy Kreuger off the best and that was Robert Englund

[@mrobertson188]

Good job on the back story I remember seeing the original film in the theater and it was like nothing before it

[@1rickmaster]

In the ending "Friday the 13th: Jason goes to hell" after the souls drag Jason to hell his mask is left behind when suddenly you can see Freddy's claw hand grasp it from within the dirt to drag it down. That was the true cliffhanger back then!

[@SkepticalChris]

OMG I read about the Pinhead ending to Freddy vs Jason, that would have been beyond Epic to see Pinhead enter the fray.

[@ThomasFan-vd3uz]

This makes me feel bad for Freddy, I think he just wants to be loved

[@riverplate0101]

Nah I would have made him darker...almost as if he was some sort of cenobite. An evil man that was involved in the bizarre occult. Missed opportunity.

[@rashadhaughton22]

I wish Hollywood would humanize Freddy & show us his back story on why he became evil. Like show him being a model citizen but an action of someone blackmailing him & then accusing him of being a child molester & then burning him before going to trial made him get revenge on the town that burned him alive. I don’t want him to be born evil!!

My Aunt got me into the Nightmare on Elm Street series. She got the the box set on vhs for my 16th birthday, so my cousins and me binged watched them that night. She passed away my Junior year in High School; anytime I watch them now, I think of her.

But how far does "damage carrying over" go? I mean, people in the real world don't see a giant cockroach where their daughter used to be...

[@thelovelyone7737]

His back story is evident in most of the movies at least to me but I like watching these to see if I’m not the only person who perceived the movie that way 😆

[@lewzer6618]

Did any of you ever think this video isn't for the og fans of the franchise but maybe for a new generation that may have only seen the rebooted version. This is an excellent review so have some respect.

[@tacticalaltarboy5875]

all my nightmares as a child was about Freddy Kreuger and i remember them till this day, i dont know what my mom was thinking letting me watch them all the age of bout 5 then decided to buy me figures and the board game that stayed on top my wardrobe till i was bout 11 then we moved and never saw it again, it scared the crap out of me

[@ericcornish1983]

I love the Freddy movie's, the classic ones will always be the best in my book I just seriously hope they don't decide to reboot this franchise yet again. Just let the movies stay in the past where they are and let them remain classics as they should be, not exploited by Hollywood a billion times just make a billion dollars.

I saw one clip from one of the Nightmare movies on television, and it creeped me to no end. And this was on regular television. Not cable, not premium, just regular edited-for-television broadcast.

[@Dr.Dankerson]

Ahh so Freddy’s reasoning for continued tormenting of people is because he sign a deal with the devil where hill stay immortal in the dream realm for as long as Freddy’s remembered so he has to constantly keep torturing people and that’s how he stays immortal
