Got DVDs of all of them. I feel like Nightmare movies are part of my generations 'culture'. If I ask younger kids they have no idea what I am talking about. If Hollywood will do more sequels I will watch but I don't need a reboot. To say at short and simple : A nightmare without Robert Englund? Thanks no! I love these movies. Got DVDs of all of them.

Yeah, I've never been particularly interested in Nightmare, and I'm even less interested in a re imagining of something that was completely ridiculous to begin with. It was pretty modern and far out there to begin with; what are they going to do? Add more depth to Freddy a la Rob Zombie's Halloween? Please no.

The idea was fresh and it was creepy and Englund MADE that character. I do NOT like the idea of a remake, much like I didn't like the idea of a Halloween remake (which I still haven't seen). I can't believe that Hollywood is SO out of ideas that they can't come up with original characters anymore. Then again, if The Grudge or Saw is the best they can come up with, maybe it IS time to give Freddy a new lease on life.....

That might have been a bit TOO creepy, though. Vic I don’t follow that sort of film that closely, but yeah, I think I did hear that a while back. That might have been a bit TOO creepy, though.

I think "reboot" is the new "sequel." I think that the reason is that some franchises have been sequeled to death... After 10 "Halloween" or "Star Trek" movies, just creating an 11th one goes over with a thud. People think "oh, it's just another lame sequel." But with a reboot/remake/re-imagining the studios can promote a movie as an modern update or a "fresh take" on a well loved existing name. So it comes across as a brand new movie instead of just another chapter in a tired series. Vic Yup, I think you’re right. I think “reboot” is the new “sequel.”

Freddy's coming for you... Three.... four... Better lock your door... Five.... Six... Grab your crusafix... That STILL gives me the chills.... I'm not sure I personally would like a remake. Elm Street had its own genra as far as I can see. But my kids are at the age where I started watching Freddy and I think to be able to give them a part of my childhood... Wait.... what the hell am I saying??!?! LOL One…. two…..
