Was New Nightmare the meta one with the real actors playing characters? Because I thought that fucking sucked.

I'm debating with myself if any of the other Freddy movies (Vs Jason aside, we've watched that) are worth eating up our time together. Most likely not.
I can't even begin to think what you meant here.Freddy's Dead has my favorite black new Yaphet Kotto.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: The Freddy Thready
I haven't seen it in years and to be honest, it wasn't as cool as I had hoped. I have it on dvd, so I should give it a rewatch. Pretty cool idea for something to be that self aware.

Re: The Freddy Thready
Anyone have any feedback on the tv show? Freddy's Nightmares or whatever? I just saw this and now i'm very curious.

Second, I couldn't share any specifics about episodes, but I did watch it fairly regularly at the time. Just an anthology show like the Twilight Zone. Nothing to knock your socks off, but entertaining enough. I see that Daily Motion has some episodes up.

Re: The Freddy Thready
Wow it seems so long ago I watched that series. I remember the first one where Freddy is had up for child murdering and gets off because wasn't read his Miranda rights. Tobe Hooper produced it and I thought it was good but I'll be damned if I can remember any of the others.matedog wrote:Anyone have any feedback on the tv show? Freddy's Nightmares or whatever?

Me and Miss D just watched the first two movies back to back and although a little dated I thought they were still great fun. Will continue through the box set tonight I remember how the movies get progressively worse.
