Nightmare on Elm Street is the WORST horror movie remake EVER!!! Most of you that know me know I have watched every horror movie known to man!!! I LOVE them!!! Freddy was just not Freddy at all...can someone please tell me what parent would send their kid to school with a man that lives in the basement of the school?!! I know I wouldn't!! Freddy from the 80's was a child murderer and this Freddy was a Pedophile. That plot line just killed it for me. I don't like that type of story line because it bothers me but in this particular instance the plot of him liking children in a sexual way was just completely unnecessary! Freddy from the 80's was scary but while he was scary he had this comedic value to him. This Freddy barely even spoke and when he did he was very serious.
I don't know you guys. Maybe the remakes we don't find as scary because we are jaded. We are jaded by new technology. Nothing phases us any more. Back in the 80's when they didn't have what we have now it seems soooo much more realistic. As a child you are lead to believe that people don't hurt kids so when Freddy came out and all he did was kill kids in their sleep during their nightmares that was SCARY. Do we not have the ability to be frightened anymore. Are we so jaded that we don't have that "Fear Factor"? Or maybe we can only be scared as a child? I don't know but I am looking for that feeling I got when I watched the Exorcism. I felt AFRAID. Maybe I felt that fear because being possessed by a demon is something way beyond "us" and the physical world...
What's your favorite scary movie???
NOTE*** I am having my marathon training schedule looked at today by someone I met at Crossfit. We had a workout in the park one Saturday morning and then we all went to breakfast and he happened to sit next to me and it was that easy that I met him... I am so thankful that he is helping me out. If you think I am crazy this guy is worse! He's awesome! He does triathlons, ultra marathons(100miles), swims etc. Yesterday he RAN to crossfit did the workout and then Ran home! I love it!

All-time favorite horror movie..The Exorcist. Watched it when I was in 5th grade and it messed me up! I actually had to stop the movie halfway through because I was traumatized. I couldn't watch the whole movie until maybe my junior year in high school.
