I might watch that tomorrow on my day off. I assume you mean Scream, Queen! right? I thought I saw that one pop up on Prime too, but will look again.There is a Netflix doc onthe lead star from Nightmare 2 and what he went thru. Really insightful actually.Oh man, there are definitely scenes from Nightmare 2 i didn't remember.
I remember being 15 years old (1985) seeing this in the theater......and my buddies and I were like...WTF man. LOL yeah fun times.
I didn't remember much about it at all, but kept seeing the comments about the subtext of the movie and the actor IRL. In my mind it was just the bad Nightmare movie without much Freddy. I would basically just watch 1, 3, and 4 in HS and on.

6 is PowerGlove Freddy, right?Yes it has dare I say some redeeming qualities compared to 5 and the absolute crapfest known as 6.That was one of a few. There were some wild choices in this one. I think it still has to be better than 5, 6, and the remake.Shower scene? I can’t recall much though other than if suckingOh man, there are definitely scenes from Nightmare 2 i didn't remember.
I actually don't think the remake is that bad.....I mean it has much higher production quality then 6. I simply do not ever watch Freddy's Dead. It is that bad. I still stomach Dream Child.....but only in the month of OCtober....one time LOL.
I don't remember a ton about the remake to be fair. In my head it was one of the many unnecessary remakes from that time that tried to hard to explain the killer's motivations and backstory. I remember not loving JEH as Freddy as well. But that is why I like to revisit these after years, and sometimes it helps seeing them in a row like this. Mainly I wanted to revisit 2 and New Nightmare, but I might just power through them all like Saw so I can get some "official" rankings in. Not sure I can do Friday or Halloween, but I might look for a few other series that were 5-6 movies max that I haven't seen a couple from. Psycho stands out as one I didn't get to in the last couple years.

Yeah 6 was soooooooo bad. Yappet Koto was also in it SMH.6 is PowerGlove Freddy, right?Yes it has dare I say some redeeming qualities compared to 5 and the absolute crapfest known as 6.That was one of a few.

As far as The Reboot Nightmare in 2009 I believe? It wasn't bad and I actually liked JEH as he did a creepy job despite being way too short. Is it great? heck no.....2 stars outta 4. But it's far from the shlock part 6 was in 3D.
New Nightmare was damn good IMO. I really enjoy that one.
My Nightmare Rankings:
1) OG 1984
2) 3 Dream Warriors
3) 4 Dream Master
4) New Nightmare
5) Reboot
6) 2 Freddys Revenge
7) 5 Dream Child
8) Freddy vs Jason (baaaaaad)
9) 6 Freddy is Dead 3D (Unwatchable)
The drop off in quality after New Nightmare is a freefall off the Empire State Building.
Psycho......other than parts 1 and 2 it's horrible. I revisited the first 4. Of course the original is a timeless classic. Part 2 is actually quite decent. 3 was an 80's slasher and really aged horribly upon revisiting. And 4 was a bad movie period.
Bates Motel on the other hand is simply fantastic. My wife and I have watched that 2 times already.
I had no idea there were sequels to Psycho. Just looked them up and none ring a bell except the remake. I'll be damned.Yeah 6 was soooooooo bad.

Probably a true statementGood thing for Dan it's the only way he watches movies!That's the only way to watch this
Not sure what we’ll go with tonight
Maybe Shaun of the Dead although I’m not a huge fan of British humor
The Void or Time Cut under consideration as well
Or there’s always a chance we go with something the wife found on TikTok

Ok. Weapons is interesting in the way it’s told, but the story itself isn’t particularly original imo. I did like the ending quite a bit. One of my fears is being chased by a bloodthirsty gang of children
ETA: Don’t remember what I gave Barbarian, but going with 3.5/5 on this one

You should check out Paradise on Hulu. Amazing acting and writing; you will not be disappointed.

That's fair, I guess I enjoyed the execution more. I'm 4-4.5 or so on it.Ok. Weapons is interesting in the way it’s told, but the story itself isn’t particularly original imo. I did like the ending quite a bit. One of my fears is being chased by a bloodthirsty gang of children

Good point. I was lukewarm overall, but I did like the rewinds to tell the story before a character appeared.That's fair, I guess I enjoyed the execution more. I'm 4-4.5 or so on it.Ok.

I am not sure I can make it either. I got a late start this year mostly because it was in the 80s here the first 10 days or so of October and it just didn't feel like spooky season.
