Blast from the Past, 1988

How many people remember the 1988 Topps Company's Fright Flicks trading card set? 

Ted Survived... Freddy Krueger

Ted is most well known for surviving Jason in Friday the 13th: Part II, but I guess it may come as a surprise to many that he also survived ole Freddy Krueger as well. Okay, maybe it wasn't in one of the movies, but the T.V. series Freddy's Nightmares count, doesn't it?

A big thanks to LairOfHorror.com for putting this put there. Take a look at the trailer for the Season 1, Episode 6 of Freddy's Nightmares.

Mahakaal: Freddy's Indian Invasion!

Here's a movie called Mahakaal (The Monster) from India. This caught my eye because it is essentially an A Nightmare On Elm Street ripoff- hell it's a down right plagiarism. I think it's hilarious to tell you the truth.

Here's a review from DVD Beaver on this film.

So, Ain't It Cool reviewed ANOES...

The review seems to be a bit on the fence and leaning more to the "it's alright for a remake" side of things. I will still maintain the same stance as I have taken from day one and that's the fact that I will go and see this and will keep an open mind. I am a huge fan of ANOES 1-3 and feel that those films are masterpieces compared to the rest of the Nightmare films which quickly plummet into Turdville with each sequel.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010 trailer is here!

A Nightmare on Elm Street in HD

Like virtually every horror fan-- and especially us 1980's kids-- this trailer has been THE most anticipaed thing since maybe the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake trailer and I think even more than that. Freddy Krueger seemed to be the one horror villain that everyone was really nervous about being re-created.


I personally think that Jackie Earle Haley will do a good job as Freddy and that according to the trailer he pretty much nailed Freddy. The trailer looked good though- looks like it has that atmosphere that A Nightmare On Elm Street 1 and 2 had, which pretty much all but dissipated after (maybe) Part 3 or 4. The look of Freddy is 50/50-- he now looks like a legitimate burn victim, something he old Freddy did not. Jackie's speech as Freddy was also accurate as a burn victim even though it does sound a lot like he's trying to be Robert Englund too hard.

All in all, I dug the trailer and I have a feeling that this movie is going to make a shit-ton of money.
