A Nightmare on Elm Street is was one of my favorite movies. I've always been a bit of a horror fanatic. I used to love the old B horror movies and Return of the Living Dead followed by Return of the Living Dead 2 are my 2 absolute favorite movies, defining what a zombie "should be" for me. Bruce Campbell is one of only three famous people I care anything about (the other two being Ozzy Osbourne and Tim Curry) because of Evil Dead 2 (the first was basically the same movie only too serious) and Army of Darkness. I am currently enjoying the hell out of the Ash vs Evil Dead series.
I think I watched the remake, but I don't remember for sure. I tend not to remember movies that don't make an impression on me until I try watching them again. These days, that's most movies. I do remember "NOT Robert England" being Freddy in something I watched. It sucked. The original A Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the defining horror movies of my day and set the stage for me absolutely hating almost all modern horror. That psychological bullshit is just crap. You can shove Saw and all its pathetic spawn right up your ass. I'll even give a good push for you, if it helps. The ONLY really, REALLY good horror movie I've seen in, probably, a couple decades was the original Paranormal Activity. It was the first movie to actually creep me out since probably the late '80s. Though I do have to give kudos to The Exorcist for the backward crab walk down the stairs scene. Not really my genre, but that was a creepy-ass scene.
So yeah, Robert England IS Freddy Kruger. There is no other, which is fine, because we don't need another Nightmare anyway. They got stale after a while. I don't know if I've even seen them all, but I can say definitively that of the "England" movies, Nightmare 2 was definitely the worst of the bunch. I enjoyed the hell out of some of the scenes from more recent ones (still old). Particularly this scene:

Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
