Ok, I just got done watching parts 4 & 5, and having also watched Freddy's Dead, I can now say that I have watched the whole Freddy series with the exception of New Nightmare, which I'll give some consideration.

New Nightmare is very different from the rest of the series. Don't go in expecting the typical fun loving Freddy and you'll enjoy it. Alot of people hate it cause they were expecting a real Freddy movie, but Freddy really takes a backseat in this one and is much, much less comical.

I love in Part 3 when Joey (hypnotized asleep) goes to follow the nurse:

 

"Do you like my body, Joey?"

 

"You know, I could get in a lot of trouble for this."

 

They make out for a few seconds.

 

Evil Nurse spits TONGUES~!, tying Joey's wrists and ankles to four corners of bed.

 

:::turns into Freddy:::

 

"What's a matter JOEY? Feeling a little...tongue tied? HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Has anyone seen the Freddy's Nightmares TV series? I picked some of them up on videotape a while back. Freddy is actually in some of them, but most of them are pretty lame actually.

I remember this episode:

 

Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?

 

This is a sequel to Bloodlines.

 

Lisa Wax has to babysit for the Burtons, not knowing that the Burtons' eldest adopted daughter Patty has been locked up in the family basement most of her life for killing her adopted mother. Lisa starts having hallucinations and seeing visions of Patty as the Devil himself, trying to lure the little boy into the basement. Somehow Patty escapes and imprisons Lisa in the basement, without the parent's thinking any different.

The second half of the episode is about Patty and how she somehow meets Mrs.Wax. Mrs.Wax invites her to stay in her house. The town thinks that Lisa is dead, due to a car accident. Meanwhile Lisa escapes the basement and heads to a confrontation to end all confrontations.

Speaking of Freddy's Nightmares, I remember seeing that show when I was little, and I remember when there was this female track runner who got killed just when her neck hit the tape at the finish line.

the best death scene was in part 3:  the kid that played with the puppets, Freddy pulls veins out of arms and legs and uses them like puppet strings and throws him off the building.  when i was a kid that scene made me cringe everytime...

 

goofiest death scene was in part 4:  breaks the benchpressing chicks' arms off and then turns her into a giant roach, then crushes her in that roach motel..."you can check in, but you can't check out!" SQUISH!

the puppeteer death was one of the most classic ever, but the effect is totally lost if you see the edited version, so everyone who hasn't seen it yet, make sure to see the movie on dvd/vhs and not on regular cable channels.

I have to agree....The puppet strings death was pure classic. Disturbing to watch. I also loved the Primetime killing. The funny part is he's on Lae Night with Johnny Carson if im'm not mistaken and becomes his guest.

No, no, no.

 

The girl is watching Zsa Zsa Gabore (however you spell it), as she is interviewed by some guy host.

 

The host: "Can I ask you something?"

 

:::camera goes to Zsa Zsa:::

 

(off-camera, host's voice turns into Freddy)

 

"Who gives a FUCK about what you think?"

 

:::Freddy appears, Zsa Zsa screams, TV fizzles out:::

 

Then the girl goes to adjust it, boom, Primetime Death.

I've got the box set on VHS, DVD, and the F vs J DVD. I also just started reading the novels and I highly recommend them. Freddy is really a sick fuck.

 

Part 1 is probably my favorite of the movies, and easily the scariest. The New Nightmare loses it's edge after you see it more than once. Although the first Freddy scene "miss me?" is really scary. My all time favorite death is in the Original, when he drags Tina up the ceiling, there's a line in the trailer that got cut out of the final film "he went into a room with a girl who went in alive, and came out in a paper bag". The bathtub scene is another favorite from the Original.

 

Does anyone else think it's weird how suddenly the house became the focal point of Freddy's history? It made sense in the first two because of Freddy's glove being hidden in the boiler by Nancy's mother, but other than that, there was never any indication that Freddy lived there until Part VI.

 

For anyone else who has the box set. How in the BLUE HELL do you unlock the other alternate ending for the Original NOES in the Labrynth?

 

Any hope on that Freddy Prequel ever getting made? Last I heard, the working title was "Elm Street: The First Murders". I personally think either just "Elm Street" or "Elm Street: The First Nightmare" sounds better.

I personally like to see NOES2 as the story of a boy coming of age while trying to deal with his own tormenting homosexual desires (represented in some way by Freddy). It's pretty obvious to me what the scriptwriter's intent was.

 

-------

[reading Nancy's old diary]

Lisa: Sometimes when I'm lying here in bed I can see Glen in his window across the way getting ready for bed. His body is slim and smooth, and I know I shouldn't watch him, but that part of me that wants him forces me to. That's when I weaken. That's when I want to go to him.

 

Jesse Walsh: Can I see that?

 

-------

 

The gym teacher scene, from Jesse picking him up at a gay bar to stripping him naked and beating him to death in the shower.

 

--------

 

The scene where he gets the Freddy tongue when he's making out with Lisa...where does he run to? The bedroom of his male best friend, of course, where he tries to spend the night.

 

--------

 

The 'cleaning my room' scene, which included THIS gem of a moment.

I just got done watching Freddy vs. Jason, and man, was it ever cool. I just loved the opening scene. It was my favorite part of the movie. The flashbacks.

Agreed. Freddy licking the back of the little girl's picture is great. People tend to forget that Freddy killed children.

I just got done watching Wes Craven's New Nightmare from my Nightmare boxset collection, and I was like, "whoa, dude". I tell ya. Freddy was out of control in this movie.

To those of you that own both the DVD and VHS sets, ever notice at the beginning of Dream Warriors, when Christen turns on her radio, there is a different song playing depending on whether you have VHS or DVD? The VHS version plays a poppy dance song, and the DVD plays an 80's hair metal song.

Did'nt they do that in the Freddy vs Jason movie?

 

They were planning on doing it, along with making Jason an early victim of Freddy's; but the studio heads decided against it when they scrapped the script that contained said plotline (Freddy's origin and him being responsible for "creating" Jason) for FvJ in favor of the script that ultimately got made on the grounds that linking the two's origins would make Jason's backstory even MORE confusing than it previously was.....

Well, anyways, I'm now playing around in the maze, and I have collected 3 items:A remote control, a key to the Freddy Merchendise room, and the key to the boiler room. What I wanna know is, what else do I have to do or collect in the maze on the bonus DVD? I'm kinda lost a bit, here.

I mean something similar to the F13 version. The boxed set that's out now is just all of the single DVD's grouped together. That is, unless there's been another release that I've not been made aware of...

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for?
