One... Two... Freddy's Coming For You...

It looks pretty neat, judging by the trailer. Bay's taking a few artistic liberties in order to justify having 90% of his budget devoted to special effects. It could be good. Then again, it could be terrible - no one could replace Robert Englund.

Freddy's an interesting villain; when he scares people in theaters, their first instinct is that sleeping will make the horror go away. But not for Freddy!

[Fifthfiend]

Oh good it's Michael Bay producing Freddie Kreuger, now I can get EVERYTHING that makes me shit my pants in terror all in one movie.

EDIT: Seriously I'm a little hopeful that Bay will terrible it up hard enough that it curbs my literally lifelong fear of Krueger for a couple of years, like Freddy vs. Jason.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

I normally don't watch horror movies. But I did sit through Freddy vs Jason. Might give this a shot.

[Seil]

like Freddy vs. Jason.

Yeah... he also directed the Texas Chainsaw remake, and that was pretty terrible.

But I did sit through Freddy vs Jason.

Why? Don't you respect yourself?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Why? Don't you respect yourself?

It's not like I had much of a choice at the time.

[DFM]

So has Bay ever done anything good or is he like some kind of Tim Burton and only his recent movies are terrible.

[Meister]

Depends on what you think of Playboy videos. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471307/)

[Seil]

I want to run down Michael Bay's directorial resume and list every one of the ones that have an explosion, a beautiful woman or both.

[Jagos]

...

That's more a drinking game than a resume.

[Fifthfiend]

So has Bay ever done anything good or is he like some kind of Tim Burton and only his recent movies are terrible.

Michael Bay has made 1. terrible movies and 2. somewhat enjoyably terrible movies. It is pretty much 1. Transformers / Transformers 2 / The Island / Pearl Harbor / Armageddon vs 2. The Rock / Bad Boys / Bad Boys 2

I want to run down Michael Bay's directorial resume and list every one of the ones that have an explosion, a beautiful woman or both.

All of them, all of them and all of them.

[DFM]

Woah woah did you put Transformers 2 as more enjoyable than Transformers 1? I mean, like, I haven't seen Transformers 2 but it looks goddamn terrible and Transformers 1 had that scene where the transformers are standing in his back yard and he's all "My mom's coming hide!" and he looks away to the door and when he looks back there's a fire truck a sports car a big rig and an ambulance just sitting in his yard. So like Transformers 1 had that going for it and Transformers 2 had illiterate buck toothed monkey robots.

[Amake]

If you're going to watch just one cheesy nineties action movie where Bruce Willis saves the world in your life, it should be Armageddon. I watch it all the time and it gets funnier every year. And it has a quantum of genuine sweetness at is core.

That is all.

[Seil]

Hey, hey, hey. The Rock is a great summer blockbuster. It's one of my favorite all-time action flicks.

[Fifthfiend]

Woah woah did you put Transformers 2 as more enjoyable than Transformers 1?

I put them both in my unordered glob of "shitty movies"

Hey, hey, hey. The Rock is a great summer blockbuster. It's one of my favorite all-time action flicks.

That's why it's in my unordered glob of "somewhat enjoyable shitty movies"

EDIT: I mean you can literally look up posts right here on this forum where I gush over Fast and the Furious Three and shit, I'm not knocking anyone's right to enjoy an enjoyably shitty movie.

[Seil]

Well, enjoying shitty movies is a favorite past time. And Michael Bay can do a good action flick... but the Texas Chainsaw remake makes me think he can't do good horror.

Then again, I'm still waiting on my copy of the first TCM flick, so it might just be the subject material. The trailer for Nightmare has him hitting most of the right notes, so it could be Rob Zombie's Halloween. But then again it could be Rob Zombie's Halloween 2.

[Fifthfiend]

I seriously pray to god it's terrible because if it's not I will inevitably 1. watch it 2. get night terrors for like half a month.

[Meister]

And Michael Bay can do a good action flick... but the Texas Chainsaw remake makes me think he can't do good horror.
Well, he's only producing this one.

[Seil]

I hope it's good. Freddy's one of my fave horror movie icons.

[Thadius]

Welp, I know what Shyria and I are doing when she gets back for break.

Breaking into Fifthfiend's bedroom with fedoras, clawed gloves and striped sweaters, scaring the crap out him, and bottling his tears of fright to sell on Ebay?

...really the time to do it would be at like 6am when I walk into the bathroom still half asleep and go to brush my teeth and then be standing right behind me as I look up basically already half-terrified that this after 22 years is going to be the day that I look into the mirror and see Freddy Kruegger waiting literally inside of it to reach out and stab me in the eyes and HOLYSHIT THERE HE IS AUGH.

...Oh christ and now I'm gonna have to spend the next week shaving with my eyes closed.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

I'm confident that Jackie Earle Haley can pull off Freddy Krueger. If you've ever seen Little Children, the film that got him the Oscar, you know he has the chops to pull off such a character.

[Seil]

It sounds like Freddy might have a bit of a speech impediment - the way he says "This won't hurt..." in the trailer sounds like he's trying to talk through pounds of make-up.

[Jagos]

Which Elm Street movie would you say was the best/most frightening.

There's only 3 movies in the franchise

Nightmare on Elm Street

Dream Warriors

New Nightmare

Anything with Wes Craven is bound to be great. Out of those, I have to say New Nightmare scared the ever loving, holy water Monkey JESUS outta me.

Other than that, the movies had Freddy as a goofy mofo instead of the psychopathic child killer that the first one did so well.

[Premmy]

New nightmare scared the hell out of me for doing for movies what the First Nightmare did for Nightmares, now, all of a sudden, what I thought was a movie is'nt even a movie!
Edit: or is that the same movie?

[Seil]

I think this'll be the second remake of the first movie.

[Premmy]

No, I mean, am I properly describing the essential premise of New Nightmare?

[Fifthfiend]

Which Elm Street movie would you say was the best/most frightening.

I mean I'm not actually joking when I say these movies scare the fuck out of me and I hate them and hate the people who make them so there's not really a "best" for me but I would say whichever one was set in the mental hospital (third one?), followed by New Nightmare, followed by the first one. The third one for being the one that my asshole babysitter when I was five was like "oh man naw he can totally watch this it won't give him a lifelong terror of a fictional character or nothin'", and also that scene where Freddy cuts the kid's arms open and turns him into a puppet and walks him off the roof, New Nightmare for being the one that was like "but maybe we're not bullshitting, maybe he's an actually real thing!!!!!! (gosh we're assholes)" and the third one for that scene at the end where his severed arm turns up out of nowhere and kills that one lady because it establishes (as New Nightmare reconfirms) right from the get-go that literally nothing will ever actually kill Freddie for any meaningful length of time, he will always, always come back.

No, I mean, am I properly describing the essential premise of New Nightmare?

Yup.

[Raiden]

Ha. You're afraid of Freddy appearing in your mirror? Pshaw, there's tons of scarier creatures to see in your mirror. Like Candy Man.

...but seriously, for a few years if I even THOUGHT that I was starting to sink into my bed I jumped off that shit like it was on fire.

[Fifthfiend]

Ha. You're afraid of Freddy appearing in your mirror? Pshaw, there's tons of scarier creatures to see in your mirror. Like Candy Man.

Here is the nub of the issue which is that the thing about Candy Man is you have no real problems as long as you don't do anything critically stupid like stand in front of a mirror and say "Candy Man" a bunch of times. Jason Voorhies isn't shit as long as you stay away from Crystal Lake (and aren't prone to tripping), Leprechaun doesn't give a fuck as long as you don't steal his gold and start demanding wishes, and that kid from the Ring can't do nothing unless you're the last jerk alive who owns a VHS player.

But Freddy Kruegger basically can't be escaped, killed, or deterred and basically lives inside of your most vulnerable state of existence right at the point where the line bleeds over between what you imagine and what's real and waits eternally for the moment you let your guard down to reach out and kill you and torture you forever. And if you tell yourself whatever he's not real or nothing it doesn't matter because the entire point of them is that he lives in unreality and just in case you thought you could get past that Wes Craven went ahead and made New Nightmare just to say "HEH".

So yeah this is basically in conclusion this is the one fictional thing that legitimately scares the fuck out of me. I honestly have to applaud it because if you were going to construct a fictional character to scare the fuck out of people as hard as possible that's pretty much what you would do. As far as why mirrors, I dunno? I guess it always seemed like jumping out of a mirror to kill me would be the sort of totally dick move Freddie Kruegger would do.

[Krylo]

I'm actually pretty sure that most of the older movies pretty well cemented that Freddy can only kill you 'cause you're afraid of him.

He always ends up getting (temporarily) banished by someone who just stands up and says, "Fuck you. My dream. GTFO." And then angry faces at him.

I mean the entire end of the first one was about how wuzzername strips his powers by not being afraid of him anymore, and the others were all like "Mah dreaaaam powers that I fight him with".

So, basically, yeah, YOU'RE fucked if you run into him, but pretty much anyone without an irrational fear of their own dreams is more or less ok.

Edit: And Vorhees totally followed some kids to New York once, and slaughters a bunch of people there, so staying away from Crystal Lake isn't guaranteed safety.

[Geminex]

Hey, IT would totally kick Freddy's ass. Seriously. In fact, IT would probably kill you as Freddy Krueger.

[Archbio]

Here is the nub of the issue which is that the thing about Candy Man is you have no real problems as long as you don't do anything critically stupid like stand in front of a mirror and say "Candy Man" a bunch of times.

Maybe someone else already said Candy Man a bunch of times in your vicinity. Or maybe you'll just get killed by criminals posing as Candyman, who come in through secret passages in the wall of your appartment.

But Candyman has the same limitation as Jason I think, in that he haunts a specific place?

[Seil]

The third one for being the one that my asshole babysitter when I was five was like "oh man naw he can totally watch this it won't give him a lifelong terror of a fictional character or nothin'",

The only thing that I can remember terrifying me as a child was this thing from Are You Afraid Of The Dark. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MjFCDPVdDA&feature=related) I remember being big into that show, but this thing scared the bejesus out of me.

My brothers and I shared a room at the time, and my older brothers had to talk me into sleeping.

I mean the entire end of the first one was about how wuzzername strips his powers by not being afraid of him anymore, and the others were all like "Mah dreaaaam powers that I fight him with".

I actually thought that it was a neat way to end the villain, but not to destroy him. Because while some sequels can get totally crap with retcons and things like that, but with Freddy, it's basically that he can haunt the dreams of individuals that are afraid of him, and don't know his weaknesses.

[Premmy]

Whereas the slender man is just THERE at all times. *shudder*

[Krylo]

Wasn't saying it wasn't, I was just refuting Fifth's assertion that Freddy doesn't fall to the same failings of say, Candy Man or Vorhees.

If you just keep your cool and treat him like any other dream thing to be ignored and forgotten about upon waking, he's completely impotent.

[Fifthfiend]

Four posts within 20 minutes all arguing the point says to me ya'll basically know you're kidding yourselves.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Yes I have an irrational fear of clowns and especially IT, why do you ask?!

[Krylo]

IT wasn't scary because IT was a clown.

IT was scary because they never really showed IT for hours and hours. It was about the horror of the unknown.

If I had to guess, I'd say IT was responsible for irrational fear of clowns, not the other way around.

I'm not scared of clowns, I just have a highly irrational fear of Tim Curry. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzoPUHKZTNM)

It's even worse since my name is George.

It's amazing that 14 years later I am still afraid. Clowns not so much. IT itself...I think I'll sleep with my light on tonight.

[Viridis]

When I was little, Tremors scared me. Mostly because the ONLY scene I saw was the bit where the guy's tugging at the air conditioner in the hole, then the graboid eats him and attacks his wife who's hiding in the car. Mostly because all I remember them showing is the tongue snakes pulling at the car and bashing the windows.

Well, if the worms existed, I'd be scared. I loved how they added the totally plausible "Guy who died from starvation/dehydration because he was on a pole 'cause he didn't want to take the chance of being eaten alive.

But back to Nightmare, you know, in the first Freddy movie, Nancy's dream?

This one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fganLeZAIQ&feature=related)

I was thinking that it was a totally horror movie move, that no one could be that stupid as to follow their dead friend. But then I thought about dreams in general; when you show up naked to class, you're not thinking "Wouldn't I have remembered to put on at least some underwear this morning?" you're thinking "Hoshit, I'm all nakey and junk." Dreams make sense while you're sleeping, no matter how weird they get, and that's why this movie is scary.

Because you're not thinking "Why am I in a boiler room," you're thinking "Hoshit."

I am interested in the fact that they recast Freddy from Robert Englund, the original, to Jackey Earl-Hayley. You might know him as The Comedian, from Watchmen.

[Viridis]

I was like five.
All I saw was that one pretty suspenseful then shocking scene
(About four minutes into this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw63Vgulr3Y&feature=related). I vividly remember the damn things beating on the windows of the car)
Screw you guys and your clown.

[Krylo]

To be fair, graboids were kinda scary in the first movie.

Then they named them graboids.

And... welp.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

Haley was Rorshach

[Premmy]

I guess Englund's just done with it, plus, he did an AWESOME Vulture, in Spec-Spidey*Sigh* so there's that.

Yeah, you know what? I can beat that on the patheticness scale.

The only movie villain that ever gave me a nightmare was...


...Mr. Boogedy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQfz5_b12O8&feature=related)

Okay, sure, I was like 4 or five, but I still remember that nightmare. Mr. Boogedy was trying to drag me out of my bed and through a window...so, yeah...it was scary enough for me.

Well, actually, I've had dreams about the Xenomorphs from Aliens...but that was more from playing too much AvP and AvP 2, so technically not nightmares caused by movies.

[Magus]

It sounds like Freddy might have a bit of a speech impediment - the way he says "This won't hurt..." in the trailer sounds like he's trying to talk through pounds of make-up.

Robert Englund: 1

Knowing little about Freddy Kreuger, I was under the impression he sounds like that because he was burnt to death.

Also how the guy is dressed is just laughable. It made sense in the '80s maybe but I don't get it now.

To be fair, I have no interest in this and have only seen the first Nightmare on Elm Street, none of the newer ones which may have been scarier...

It just gives off the impression of something that would scare a kid who's supposed to be too young to watch it anyway, since most of you say you watched the first one when you were five or something...

[Krylo]

Yeah. I did.

It didn't scare me when I was five though (Actually probably saw it younger than that, as it came out when I was 2).
Fifth's a pussy.
Then again I don't have any memories of actually being scared of any scary movie. I was kind of raised on them. My mom loved them. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Chucky, Poltergeist, Amityville Horror, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Halloween, IT, The Exorcist, and countless others all watched before I was 10.

Only one is actually notable due to fright, and that would be Night of the Creeps, but it wasn't the movie that scared me. It was my dad rolling up a bunch of black electrical tape to make it look like one of the leech things, and then spitting it out of his mouth at me.

That was when I was 4.

I guess stuff like that is probably why I'm so jaded to horror movies.

[01d55]

So I know how this movie is going to end:

At the beginning this dude is gonna see a sweet-ass car and be all "Dude that is my dream car" and then at the very end of the movie, Freddie is after him in his dreams when all of a sudden the Hot Chick drives the sweet-ass car through some wall and crushes Freddie. Then the car EXPLODES and the hot chick steps out on fire like the human torch (so she's fine but her clothes are gone and her naughty bits are censored by the CG fire) and they make out (he is not hurt by the fire either) and then he wakes up and there's a joke about he's pissed AND jizzed himself: "that was a double-wet dream!"

Roll credits.

[DFM]

Plausible except the hot chick turns out to be Freddy but like he doesn't mind because it's just a dream so he starts making out with Freddy who's all getting ready to slice him while they're kissin' because Freddy he ain't got no class like that and then it cuts to him waking up and the real life hot chick is making out with him and she's arrested for sexual assault and he's just kinda sittin' there wondering why the hot chick was making out with him while he was passed out and why he almost liked kissing Freddy more and then there's a knock on the door and he opens it and lightning flashes and its hot chick in torn prison clothes and she says she's come back to finish what she started and she starts advancing across the room towards him all slow and lecherously and then he trips because he's gotta trip and he looks up and the hot chick pulls off her face and this bloody skull is staring at him and the skull opens its mouth and starts screaming and his face is all getting hit with blood and puss and he starts screaming too then the hot chick rips off her skull and Freddy's head grows out of her neck hole and he's all "Your girlie's got an axe to grind with you." and he pulls out a chainsaw from behind his back because he's really kind of phoning this one in and then the guy is all "This is my dream you can't hurt me get the fuck out." and then Freddy starts all melting and getting sucked through the dream wormhole and as he disappears he's like "I was trying to heeeelp yooooou." and the dude's like "I don't think anything you did in this entire movie could have helped me in any way." and then hot chick crashes through his TV and kills him the end.

[Marc v4.0]

You..you people need a hobby. Something besides this.

Damn.

[Jagos]

Wasn't saying it wasn't, I was just refuting Fifth's assertion that Freddy doesn't fall to the same failings of say, Candy Man or Vorhees.

If you just keep your cool and treat him like any other dream thing to be ignored and forgotten about upon waking, he's completely impotent.

Well, Freddy is mainly limited to kids on Elm Street since he just wants revenge on them for their mob justice.

Oh, he did kill the children. But the purifying flames didn't do much to stop that.

Remember, you need help to wake yourself up from Freddy in most of the dreams. Like Seil says, he damn near controls a dream for his own amusement.

[Raiden]

I think in the Freddy vs Jason movie they actually had a great tactic for keeping Freddy away. They redacted any evidence of him from all records, and anyone involved in the incident was given a drug to keep them from dreaming at night. Freddy can't get you if you don't know about him and aren't afraid of him. So when those kids finally die off they could burn the records and make sure no one else ever learned about Freddy ever again.

It would have worked if Jason hadn't gotten them digging into the town's past monsters again. Say what you will about how the movie played out, but it WAS a great way to keep Freddy in hell.

[Eldezar]

Chuckie was scary when I was small, then I got big enough to realize that I could kick him with pretty much no trouble. Then hopefully no one else knew the incantation.

Old Gregg is still kinda scary.

[Doc ock rokc]

I Don't like horrors but Vamps and Freddy are the two that I would rather face rather then all the things that could appear.
I actually had a dream of freddy last night. I saved myself by Splitting myself into the parts that feared him and the parts that didn't When the part that feared him luired him into a specific part of my Mind the parts that didn't Jumped him and curb stomped his ass.
Never had a better nightmare.

I still say that Weeping angles are WAY more creepy then anything other then zombies. those are my phobias

[Marc v4.0]

Holy shit did the Xenomorphs scare the everliving unholy out of me when I was a kid.

Loved Predator, watched Tremors all the time, Freddy and Jason didn't scare me cause I wasn't a naked teenager or in the woods at night.

I could not handle either of the first two Alien movies. Granted I got further into Aliens because the Action portion kept me in it until the Horror showed up in force, but that first experience with Alien was horrible. Xenos define the very concepts of alien and monster at the same time for me.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

The great thing about this thread is that we now know Fifths greatest fear. Now all we need to do is find some way to weaponise it...

Anyway, none of these things that people have mentioned I find scary. As Arnie says in Predator, "If it bleeds, we can kill it," and well, anything that can be killed ain't all that scary. Obviously Freddy can't be killed, but from what I've seen of his movies they're more comical than horror. They make me lol.

I still maintain that Event Horizon is way scarier than any of these films. How do you fight the living embodiment of HELL people? Especially when you're stuck a few million miles from Earth, on a ship that's infested with it??

Also those visions of the crew hanging from the cielings wrapped in barb wire with maggots crawling over their faces and giant spikes sticking through their chests does not help. Even during filming the actors felt sickened and disturbed doing that shit.

Already happened (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1034602&postcount=23). I wager Fifth is gonna be more cautious about swap tags since there maybe Freddy pics hiding under them.

Pfft, anyone who didn't realise it was an evil space ship the second they saw that engine room deserved to die.

And like many horror movies, they overdid it in the final quarter. I mean, visions are stuff are fine but then it's all blood and everything is on fire and you're all "Why didn't it do that earlier, huh?"

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I think the river of blood thing was a homage to some other horror movie. It probably only did that becuase by then the survivors were getting ready to blow the ship apart and it needed something to stop them before sending them back to hell and its human manifestation hadn't yet ressurrected or was busy fighting the other guy in the engine room. Seeing as it spent most of its time trying to take over his mind I can forgive the slow growth of its manifestations.

Besides, it's evil, it doesn't need to immeditately bring out the big guns, I'm sure it had more fun slowly toying with the crew and then killing off a few of them.

But yeah that engine room was all kinds of messed up. Though seeing as the whole ships architecture was designed around a cathedral style I'm not surprised.

[Seil]

Blood?

Yeah, so, Fifth, if by some unholy luck you find yourself watching this, recommend you either skip the last 3 minutes or so or avoid all mirrors everywhere for the rest of your life
