CaliggyJack: A Nightmare on Elm Street Movies Ranked

CaliggyJack 04.14.25	FYI: The Following comment section may contain spoilers of ANOES movies. If you don't want to be potentially spoiled about any of the ANOES films. Don't read this comment section. Side note: how tf have we not gotten a new Elm Street movie in 15 years
bellovddd 04.14.25	3,1,2, FvJ, 4,6,5,remake, new nightmare. would be my order of movies. Number 3 is one of my fav all time horror comedy movies.
Futures 04.14.25	just swap 3 and 4 (toss up for me anyway, both go for different things) and 7/8 and it's my exact list. the remake is so fucking dull though. and freddy's dead is also one of the worst slasher sequels i've ever seen. the death at the end lmao
Hyperion1001 04.14.25	2 kinda rocks tho Freddy is real menacing in that one.
budgie 04.14.25	1 is absolute miles ahead of the others and definitely a top 10 alltime horror
Hawks 04.14.25	1 and 5 are really the only ones I care about lol.
Futures 04.14.25	yeah 2 is prob the best freddy portrayal for me
CaliggyJack 04.14.25	I'm gonna be the Remake defender in saying that the remakes Freddy gave me chills in ways Englund's never could. It's still massively flawed, but it still gets me.
budgie 04.14.25	i mostly hate the freddy remake but the supermarket scene was legit
Futures 04.14.25	jackie could've def been a great freddy with good material. and going with him as an explicit child molester didn't help lol
CaliggyJack 04.14.25	I think him being a child molester made him more creepy. It made the slasher less "fun" and more creepy. Of all the faults of that movie, Jackie def wasn't one of em imho
Hawks 04.14.25	Remake is one of the worst movies of all time. Its an atrocity.
bellovddd 04.14.25	Jackie should have been the best freddy but it didnt happen.
zakalwe 04.14.25	One of the most lasting memories of the 80s is having nightmares over 1 and not even watching it until about 1992. I was absolutely shit scared of the thing.
CaliggyJack 04.14.25	I can't imagine watching it as a kid.
Zac124 04.14.25	1. A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Haven't seen the rest
Rowhaus 04.14.25	Love the series overall but the remake and Freddy's Dead are pretty bad. I've only seen the remake once, but wasn't there some twist where Freddy was innocent and taking revenge, then they just threw it out the window at the end? I remember it being a total shitshow lol
CaliggyJack 04.14.25	The writing on the Remake was abysmal. It was Shakespeare compared to Freddy's dead tho. Betcha the guy who wrote the "Freddy's Dead" line at the end really thought he was doing something there.
DarkSideOfLucca 04.14.25	2 might be my 1
Futures 04.14.25	remember the scene in freddys dead with roseanne and tom arnold lol
EoinCofa 04.15.25	Cheesy MTV segment for NOES4 featuring Vinnie Vincent. “Love Kills” by VVI w/Mark Slaughter starts at 2:05. https://youtu.be/T14HNV4tR5g?si=N5vd-b9kBdasw2o1
CaliggyJack 04.15.25	Fuck that's awesome. Thanks for the link Eoin
rockarollacola 04.15.25	swap 1 with 2 and you're dead on
CaliggyJack 04.15.25	Currently finished the Friday the 13th series and I'm knee deep in the SAW series now. I was gonna do Paranormal Activity next but I actually think I'm gonna do the Wrong Turn movies instead.
EoinCofa 04.15.25	Heres one for NOES3 featuring Dokken. “Dream Warriors” starts at 4:40. https://youtu.be/dexEOTttraw?si=HbT0Zh74kA68zVPP
EoinCofa 04.15.25	I actually love the original Wrong Turn (2003). I follow it up with Tucker & Dale vs Evil; cracks me up!
Futures 04.15.25	wrong turn 2 with henry rollins is a really dumb fun one. that reality tv thing is so funny and dated. best one easily for me.
CaliggyJack 04.15.25	The Remake is pretty good from what I remember
Futures 04.15.25	yeah it wasn't bad, they did something different which was interesting
combustion07 06.20.25	3,1,2,4, New Nightmare, FvJ, Final Nightmare, 5, remake
CaliggyJack 06.20.25	3 over 1? Interesting!
