What's Your Favorite Nightmare?

If you have not seen any of these movies and are a scary movie fan than I would suggest that you watch this set of movies asap.

As far as movies go this one is one that today you may laugh at but in the 1980's this slasher film haunted children's dreams and were extremely popular. IMDB rated the movie 7.5 out of 10 based on votes from well over 66,000 users. See link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087800/. The unique story line written and directed by Wes Craven, of a child molester who came back and continued to haunt/murder the children in their sleep created a whole new perception of what the horror genre could become.

If you’re interested in movies with teens being chased by a mass murderer that can kill you while you sleep (which by the way is a difficult thing not to do) then I suggest this movie as well as the sequels all of which have different twists on what is the dream world and how it can be manipulated for better or worse. This movie is somewhat gory and there is instances of intense eeew moments but overall is a movie that will come back to you…even while you sleep.

Personally I rate this movie as a 8 out of 10 because of the unique storyline and Robert Englund’s great acting skills at making Freddy Krueger become one of the best traditional icons as far as horror killers go. Why not a 10 you ask? The acting of Nancy as done by Heather Langenkamp could have been improved. Watching the movie again her facial expressions hardly change accept in instances of extreme hostility. The remake, in my opinion, did help with this slightly but then clearly lacked in the original’s storyline as well as Jackie Haley’s acting of Freddy who could not replace the original creepy grinning, chuckling version of Freddy Krueger which lessened the frightening experience amongst today’s standards. FYI the original as rated by users on IMDB was rated a 5.1 with just over 31,000 votes. See link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179056/.
Now I want to here from you what do you think about the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? What are your favorite moments that make you scream or even laugh?
