Fun fact. Robert Englund and Mark Hammil used to be roommates and are still close friends to this day. Is anyone else picturing Freddy Krueger and Luke Skywalker hanging out together?!?

Imo, Elm Street is the best idea anyone has EVER had for a horror movie. As a Gen Xer who was a little kid in the 80's, the original Nightmare will haunt me forever!

As a parent, hurting me would be nothing. Hurting my children is the most nightmarish thing in my head. So him going after their children is really the best revenge against the parents.

Robert Englund seems like a swell, down to earth guy who adores his fans, a far cry from the villainous Freddy Krueger.

That's a sheep, not a goat. It stems from the mental exercise of counting sheep to help one fall asleep. Very clever inclusion by Wes Craven.

How these films still don't have a 4K remaster is criminal.

I can't remember my exact age 8 or 9, when this movie came out, but I can tell you exactly where I was when I first saw the commercial for it. In my bedroom, about 9:30 at night and that scene of the little girls jump roping and singing scared the crap out of me

Wish they would have done a Survivors Elm Street movie with Alice,Yvonne, Jessie and All of the others who lived.

My favs are the original with Nancy and Glen, Part 3, and Freddy vs Jason 😅

ANOES is my favorite franchise. I'll admit, there was a brief time as a teen in the 90s when I thought Michael was king, but I later found that it was the Nightmare films I always came back around to most often. So many memorable moments. So many strong nostalgic ties. Even the weaker entries in the series have some undeniably iconic scenes in them.

17:04 - I was waiting for you to mention the Fun Fact that Tuesday Knight (new Kristen) sang the intro song. 👍

I saw this and clicked IMMEDIATELY. ANOES is the all time goat in my opinion, and has been since 1985. I still have my original VHS. Edited fun fact. The reason Rod (the actor Jsu Garcia under the stage name Nick Corri) looked sweaty all the time in the movie is because he was in real life, during filming doing heroin as he was an addict. He was actually high during the jail cell scene while filming.

"Freddy should focus on the actual people that hurt him." He did. No more heinous way to take action than to harm a person's child.

Greatest horror franchise of all time

I like them all except 6. Even the New Nightmare was better than that one. And Heather Langenkamp will always rule in any dimension.

what I like about the NOES and F13th movies is that they are highly rewatchable. Love'em

The DreamWarroir was my favorite one 💙 it had Nancy and Kristen - creepy puppets, psychologist and that scary snake thing

I just realized that Kristen's introduction to the series foreshadows her death. She's listening to "Into the Fire" by Dokken..how have i never noticed that before?!

Loved 1-4.even the dark horse part 2 even though it broke the rules.part 1 introduced us to Freddy with him barely being in the film but felt throughout.2 had his best make-up.3 was just plain fun to watch with the legendary "Dream Warriors" by Dokken.4 for a follow up.cant really stomach the rest,but I will say a new nightmare(7) was interesting.the rest were forgettable. Sidenote as a Jason fan Freddy vs Jason was also a fun watch.

My Favorite A Nightmare Films Are The Original New Nightmare Dream Warriors And My Favorite The Dream Master ❤🎉😅😊

Nah, the world isn’t big enough for two Freddy’s, only Robert can be Freddy.

I'd like to see you cover the best of Phantasm. The Tall Man was my inspiration when my son got in trouble and I would intone "boy!"

4:10 - It's actually the trailer for The Evil Dead that's playing on Nancy's television, meant to be a tv spot for when the film was released in 1981, when this first Elm Street movie takes place.

These were my favorite horror movies growing up!! My buddy and I watched them over and over

I would love to see you cover Cold Prey especially part two, as I feel is one of the greatest and most overlooked slasher movies of all time.🔪

I would love to see you cover Near Dark.

using your bully’s name as that of the ultimate villain is the best revenge!

It's weird but in DREAM MASTER, Alison is basically turned into CAPCOM's MEGA MAN with the exact powers she needs to beat Freddy and a normal girl. 😂

#4 is my second favorite noes

Nightmare's 1,3 And 7 Are My All-Time Favorites 4 And 5 Are Not So Bad But Nightmare 2,6 And The Remake Are Not Good But After Watching The Documentary On Nightmare 2 On TUBI Last Year I'll Give It Credit.

Craven actually wanted that line taken out of the "scary movie" script that would eventually become scream. He felt it was vain and too on the nose but decided to leave it in to be meta

My childhood was great because of such horror originality‼️

Great video bro

Thanks again, buddy

Top 5 movies in the franchise 1- Nightmare on Elm Street 2- Wes Craven new nightmare 3- Dream Warriors 4- Dream Master 5- Freddy's Revenge

Freddy was the first horror Villian i ever saw, a large cardboard cut out of the Nightmare on Elm Street 2. I walked into Blockbuster Video in the UK aged 9 and literally shit myself. I never looked back after our first meeting lol. Great film, Great Franchise, Great Villian.

I was shown Nightmate on Elm Street, by my teenage cousins, as a wee child in the mid 80s. I needed 4 years of therapy to deal with the nightmares and crippling fear it induced in my 4 year old brain.

New nightmare is my favorite then I like 1 , 3 , 6 , Jason vs Freddy and the remake , hate 2 , 4 and 5

The bully's name was Fred...not Krueger. Krueger was an extension of Krug who was the antagonist of Craven's The Last House on The Left.

I freaking LOVE the first one It made me a Wes Craven fan until today And I did cried when he passed because the world lost a real talent Back to Elm Street Nightmares Robert Englund was born to play him. He did a whole complete job creating his manners and speaking tones. He made the most menacing villain ever The story in the first is well written and the movie was perfectly executed The switch in the lead, the tone, the villain and the end. IT'S A TREAT AND FREDDY KRUEGER IS THE BEST/WORST VILLAIN EVER Dude killed kids, and once stopped he came back to finish his work. THAT'S SOMETHING HUGE I'll say that the third and the fourth are pretty good, but not at the level. And then Wes Craven's New Nightmare gave me hope again Because it was pretty cool The first one was the real breaker and set a new level of horror. Specially with the whole package: plot, screen, direction, acting, setting, everything I'll forever love it And maybe I'll watch it tonight just for the nostalgia

I was only 6 years old when this came out but I watched it as a teenager. It is a good movie

I'm not gonna lie. Hearing your voice makes me so happy when I click on the JoBlo video, because I know it's going to be quality.

Can’t believe you highlighted part 4

The Dream Master is a ton of fun, I find if I watch it directly after Dream Warriors it kind of disappoints me but if I just watch it on its own I always enjoy it.

Nightmare 4 is my favorite of the series. Been a FredHead since I was 5yrs old (when Nightmare 3 came out) and still love the entire series - even Nightmare 5 and Freddy’s Dead. That remake though? 🐂💩

Great video I always get grossed out when I see those faces on that pizza in number four the dream Master but I always loved the line how sweet fresh meat

Dream warriors was my first noes and still my favorite

I literally learned to lucid dream bc freddy would not leave me alone! I'll never forget kicking his ass in my dream! That was extremely theraputic

We used to trick our younger siblings into a closet, slam the door behind them and repeat "Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers"!!! Maybe a little cruel but super fun in the late 80s early 90s.

What does Tina see in Rod?... Possibly his incredible sexiness and physical perfection? 🔥 LOL.

There are only Four films that are worth talking about. NOES 1-3 & Freddy Vs. Jason imohp.

As a huge nightmare fan I wish they would’ve went more into depth with dream warriors and Freddy’s revenge especially since a lot of fans have dream warriors and the original at the top of the list

my mom was cool she loved going to the movies, esp. horror movies so when i was a little boy she would bring me all the time but i got to see all the greatest 80 horror in the theater when they came out. i reamember seeing ghostbusters, and back to te futuer but my fav was Nightmare on elm st. I was only like 4 when i seen this flick. I FREAKING LOVE THIS MOVIE! THanks for making this

Apparently the rocks thrown at Tina’s window are supposed to be kids teeth. Creepy. ✌️🖤🤘

Jackie Earle Haley could’ve been a great Freddy Krueger. It’s also a good thing that he wasn’t trying to be Robert Englund - or ostentatiously NOT be Robert Englund - but he was doing something creepy and scary on his own terms. The problem was the movie itself!

Single mother? I thought Nancy's dad was the sheriff.

Did you see Dylan’s New Nightmare? I thought it was really well done.

What an amazing voice.

The original NIghtmare on Elm Street, you can keep the rest.

Not true. If you live outside of the town of Springwood, you'll be fine UNLESS you take a trip into Springwood. So technically speaking you CAN avoid a encounter with Freddy.

Can you find "Boogeyman 2" from the late 70's or early 80's, it was the only movie I turned off at the beginning when I was 7 y/o. Near the start of the movie, a girl was compelled to shove scissors in her throat while looking out the bathroom window, that's all I remember. It might not be a part 2 it's just what was labeled on the mixed VHS tape of movies I came across. This has bugged me for years not being able to find anything like I remember, but since I was young, and scared me so much that it also could have been a nightmare, I had great nightmares back then. Hopefully JoBlo or maybe you guys out there could help me fix this and find out if the movie exists or not, I just want to face that fear again and maybe scare me like a kid again, please, and thank you.

Great movie

That sounds like spy glass with scream 6

The UK Luvs this Movie❤❤

Where are ''The Dream Warriors''? It could be the best sequel!

my ultimate favorite movie is noes 1

I saw the remake of a nightmare on elm street. I don’t think it was as terrible as everyone thought. I think Jackie Earl Haley could have been a good Freddie on paper but the fact that they changed the iconic makeup and the script is why I think he failed as Freddie. The old saying comes to mind, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Tina in the body bag is one of the creepiest moments in horror.

My favorites are elm street 1 and 3 and new nightmare also am I the only one that thinks joey looks like neve Campbell from scream lol 😂 tbh I love them both

I hope we get another A Nightmare On Elm Street movie one that's superior than that bad remake.

I would love you to cover DOG SOLDIERS..

To me the best of the series is Dream Child.

What about the 240 minute documentary NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!

For me, it’s the original, “Dream Warriors” and “New Nightmare”. The others are fun-but forgettable.

Cover Stigmata Starring Patricia Arquette Please

Cover the Ninth gate Starring Johnny Depp

All of these movies are awesome. There are no bad films in this franchise.

Nightmare 1 & 2 were legitimately scary 👍

40 years and no good blu ray collection so sad

Rod was sweaty because he was high on drugs during filming. Even tho Woods did great with Maniac, he needs to stay away from NOES

Funny how this could be seen like a metaphor for the youth of today and the parents leaving 'em with waste, pollution, habbits that destroy the earth and unstable climate

It is hard to make a remake with Kelly Leak

I thought the reboot of a nightmare on Elm Street was great

they always say those who play the bad guys in the movies are the nicest guys in real life. must be something about getting to sublimate your basest instincts.

Renny Harlin is Finnish though. Not Dutch

I don't buy the fighting air in dream master because of money...because they already payed Robert ( freddy) all he had to do was show up

NOES 4

❤

tina was with rod because he’s hot !

Did you say Dutch sensibilities about a Finnish director...? :D

Chill out with the ding notification sounds. Those with misophonia get triggered with anger and rage

👍👍

😊❤

Elm Street 1,2,4,5 will always be the best of the series and I definitely have a soft spot for the remake

Glen went into a blender. Or Glender.

New Nightmares not a sequel... itd either be a reboot, or a imo a spinoff. Freddy isnt actually Freddy in it. So...

Maybe Rob has a rod?

The best part of the remake is Jackie Earl Haley as Freddy, the rest is not good except the first kill and the concept of the micro naps was interesting. Part 3 and a new nightmare are also really good.

Rod is hot
