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.

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.

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.

Why stop? I watch horror movies year round.
Ilov80s
Footballguy
I will occassionaly watch some but for me, I like to mostly keep my horror movies in October. The weather and decorations and the way the sunlight looks, the leaves, etc. It all just ties with in with scary movies perfect.

The might have been a mistake but I wanted something short that I would only have to pay half attention to and would give me old school silliness. I've landed on The Ape Man from 1943 which is exactly what it sounds like: A scientist is turned into an ape man. It's the 36th most popular Bela Lugosi movie on Letterboxd so you know this is going of deeply questionable quality.
Keith R
The Don
I do too. If there's a potential great out there or just a fun genre movie worth seeing, I won't wait until October to see it. But my usual pace is far from 31 on 31

This is even worse than I could have expected. Everything about it is truly awful and not even bad enough to be funny. I was reading about it. It was made by Poverty Row studio Monogram. The female star of the movie said Monogram was so cheap you had to wear your down clothes because they didn't keep a wardrobe dept.

I should do a pre/post rewatch ranking to see if anything changes on some of these series I have seen most of. I still pretty much can with Nightmare since I'm just on Part 3 tonight. I would have had my post watch rankings at:
Dream Warriors
OG
New Nightmare
Dream Master
F v J - totally stupid for the most part but I remember liking how they tied the two into each other. More this is also an indicator of how much I think I dislike the rest of the movies. Jason on fire in the cornfield looked pretty cool.
Dream Child
Freddy's Revenge
Reboot

Finishing the night with The Amazing Transparent Man. One of the final films from notable B director Edgar Ullmer. He was more known for his noir films and this sci-fi movie plays a lot like a noir. An escaped convict is used as a guinea pig by a scientist who believes he has invented a way to make people invisible. The scientist is looking to create an invisible army to take over the world but the invisible escaped convict has other ideas. Not too bad.

After last night, I think there might be a shuffle at the top and another gap in tiers.
Nightmare is a series that lost what it was at the start probably quicker than any other series. I think what makes them more disappointing than other series I revisit is that there is a huge gap between the ideas and concepts of the movies that stuck with me over the years vs. the cheese that is on the screen when I watch. What I mean is that the idea of not being able to sleep or being stalked in your dreams is quite frightening to somebody like me who had pretty vivid, freaky dreams. What I get when I watch is Freddy yucking it up killing boring teens and it gets worse as they build the mythology from Warrior to Master to Child (really?). None of the Fridays are as good as the OG Nightmare, but if you told me I would get played a random Friday the 13th movie or a random Nightmare on Elm Street movie, I think I would choose the Friday option. I am probably forgetting how bad some of those got too. I remember seeing Jason Goes to Hell in the theater and that opening scene has stuck with me since.
