I love all of these fan creations for the franchise that seem to never stop - even after three decades. Needless to say, the franchise is as popular as it ever was, still going strong. The only problem is that we can't seem to get a new movie!
Okay, I must admit that I love these things and love seeing the different adverts for the movies on different networks. Here's one from 1989 on "Action Theater" that is actually very entertaining. If anyone has these nifty TV adverts please upload and share them!
I posted some screen shots, BTS videos and some roughly edited footage about 6-8 months ago of this fan film project a handful of friends and I were a part of. When I posted it I searched endlessly for this trailer that we made for it, but never found it. So, while I was cleaning out my external hard drive look at what I found! I added our silly "Shitron Video" logo at the beginning as well as a red band R rating disclaimer, but here it is.
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.
