Saturday Graverites!






A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984 ; 91 brain eaters) : We were just watching the remake because I needed a second opinion from myself if I liked it or not, remakes are so hard to judge because I hate the idea of them and don't always give them a fair chance but some come out alright. Than I was like I need to do the original as a Saturday Graverite because it was one of the first horror movies that really made me fall in love with horror when I was little. This is one of the best movies written and directed my Wes Craven, he did so many other amazing movies as well. This film also has an amazing cast, for starters Robert Englund as Freddy (which no one else could ever do a better job), and than you have Johnny Depp (his first film), John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia (Nick Corri), and so on. In the early 1980's, a psychopath named Freddy Krueger (known as the Springwood Slasher) murdered several children with a glove outfitted with straight razor blades attached to the fingers. When a foolish decision by a judge sets him free, Krueger is burned alive in the boiler room where he worked by an angry mob of the parents whose children he terrorized and murdered. Years after his death, the children whose parents were responsible for Krueger's death including Nancy Thompson, daughter of the police officer who arrested Krueger  are experiencing terrifying nightmares involving a burned man wearing a glove with razor blades on the fingers. Freddy Krueger is haunting their dreams and seeking revenge for what their parents did to him. When Nancy's best friend Tina dies in her sleep violently during a dream confrontation with Krueger, Nancy realizes she must find a way to stop the evil psychopath's reign of terror or never sleep again. It spawned a whole series of movies, a TV series, a remake and so much merchandise. Also it has a catchy rhyme that goes along with it (One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab your crucifix. Seven, eight, gonna stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again...). Perfect for a fall movie night!
