I thought I would search Freddy Krueger in the message board to see if there were any postings and WOW...we theatre people are so alike. Out of all the sicko trashy horror movies out there the Nightmare on Elm St. series are really great. Its so weird I was so afraid of Freddy as a kid....can not believe someone said he went to HAIRSPRAY this summer...how funny is that lol. Anyway thought I would express myself as a fan of these series...they deserve it and its halloween so why not

The Elm St movies are probably the best contemporay horror movies. Great mix of horror and saracstic wit in them. I think they really got over the top and were terrible after the first three. I love Freddy, he is one of the all time best monsters to come out of Hollywood.

Other fun Halloween movies that I love are The Exorcist, Seven, the original Psycho and the old Universal monster movies.

I finally watched the Exorcist a couple years ago. I thought it was good but I didn't really see what was so scary about it. And im a scary movie whimp.

I am a HUGE Elm Street fan. The first, third, and New Nightmare are the best though. I remember a while back, there was talks of an Elm Street Broadway musical. I'm up for it.

With the Exorcist it's so much that it's screy, it's just a well done movie. It has a great story, it's well acted and it has a creepy atmosphere to it. Just like Psycho isn't really scarey but it's a great atmospheric movie.

I also forgot to mention Pinhead. I feel so awful having omitted him and Hellraiser. Now that is a fantastic movie. Scarey and, in a very subtle way, very sexual

Yeah I thought I heard about the musical too..but Robert Englund, to me, can only do Freddy..hes just perfect. I enjoyed the 4th one as well...after the 4th I believe they got pretty stupid but there were a few good moments in number 4. I would so be up for the musical..I could only imagine it haha

LOVE IT! Freddy rocks my world!

I also liked the fourth sequel but it was not the all time best. Of course the first one is amazing and the third one was great. That guy in the 4th and 5th one though, who played Dan....wow what a cutie!! Danny Hassel the actors name is and he virtualy fell off the planet after the elm. st. series. Oh lord he was hot. Anyone know who I am talking about?

Of course I do. Dan, the dumb ass jock. He deserved to die in the 5th.

The scariest movie ever has to be the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I had my hands over my eyes the WHOLE movie.

Are you talking about the original Texas Chainsaw or the new updated one? The old one was in some ways scarier because it left the gore up to your imagination and the house was weirder looking. The one thing I liked about the new one is that the characters were killed of more slowly. In the old one they are all murdered within minutes and the rest of the movie is the one survivor running from Leatherface.

Did anyone ever see the old sequel with Matthew McConaghey and Renee Zelweger? In that one, Leatherface is a drag queen.

I lover horror movies. Yes the new texas was really entertaining, I loved it. Which Freddy version is the one where he sucks the air out of this girl in class and she has an asthma attack and dies when she wakes up? I though that one was ok but that was probably one of the best scenes in it.

The perfect Halloween flick is "House of Wax" with perhaps the creepiest score ever composed for any horror flick. The best way to see it is in 3 D but that is very hard. DVD version of the original "13 Ghosts" released with reproductions of the ghost viewers & the original trailer with shlock meister William Castle. A perfect Halloween is watching his schlock pieces in tandem: House on Haunted Hill, The Tingler, 13 Ghosts, & Mr Sardonicus . Right now, on Turner Classic Movies, is the tandem : Frankenstein,Bride of Frankenstein & Son of Frankenstein ( with Bela Lugosi - very underrated actor).
