For those of you hardcore of fans of the slashing sandman like I am, here are the films that will range from best to worst in this countdown called Ranking the....
FREDDY KREUGER FILMS:
ESSENTIAL:
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)--The one that started it all and is considered the scariest and the best of the series.
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors--Obviously the best Freddy sequel of all-time and it's somewhat the funniest of the bunch too.
Freddy vs. Jason--The best match-up of horror icons of all-time although I think Freddy really won that match.
GREAT:
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare--The final somewhat swan song (not really) of the child killer himself which is the best sequel since the third film.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare--This is one of the most interesting movie within a movie films of all-time with the Heather Laugenkamp, Wes Craven, Robert Shaye, and Robert Englund play themselves.
Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master--Out of all the Freddy films, this is one is the most underrated film of the series.
OKAY:
Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child--It has its moments but it's a little too long to be a Freddy film.
SKIP:
Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge--The less said about this film...the better!
P.S. I haven't included the 2010 remake with Kelly Leak as Freddy because I haven't seen it yet. I will watch it next week when I get it from the library.
