r/NightmareOnElmStreet

Included Halloween as well which was my first horror franchise I watched through.

I made a few posts about this already showing my progress on my plastic Rubie’s Freddy glove that I rehauled and asked for recommendations on any improvements or changes I should make. Since my last post, I touched up the paint a little and fixed the welding marks near the blades (I put hot glue on it and then painted it dark silver when it dried). Any other suggestions or tips I can add to make it better? Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!

I like dream child better.

Tomorrow i plan to watch the final 2 Freddy movies and then I will be on to Friday the 13th, my third franchise ranking.

The top 4 have stayed the same, and I think some may disagree with where I currently have the 3 movies at the bottom. New Nightmare/Freddys Dead might end up being my hot takes of this franchise.

I feel like when I rank the nightmare movies these two always are on the same level and I have a hard time deciding which one I like more so u would like to hear your thoughts on these two and which one you prefer

The top 3 are all Really good. 4-7 are good but flawed. Bottom 2 are mediocre

A few notes:

I like two a lot. I knew about the gay allegory stuff ahead of time, which definitely makes the story more interesting, but I had no idea it was going to be so funny. Jessie is a great protagonist.
I don't really like Nancy as a protagonist, so Nightmare 1 and New Nightmare are lower on my ranking. She's actually my least favourite part of Dream Warriors, although that is my favourite overall.
New Nightmare is the worst one for me. It's both boring and lame but even worse it's pretending to be about something when I really don't think it's saying anything interesting at all. Freddy's Dead isn't trying to say anything but there are a few good laughs in that one.
Freddy vs. Jason was amazing. A genuinely solid entry in the series as it follows the Nightmare formula and adds a few new ideas that I liked, such as the adults in town trying to exorcise Freddy from memory. They also used a lot of Dream Warriors canon which I appreciated.
I don't love Alice as protagonist but I can respect 4 and 5 for trying to keep a canon going - even if they do kill off my beloved Dream Warriors too early. The movie theatre sequence in 4 is an amazing scene and that movie would be higher if the cast was more interesting...every scene with Dan is like watching white bread try to act.
