Hi James, hope you get some sleep. I noticed when you were editing that the shirt you’re wearing in this video is the same one Chelsea was wearing when you guys hit 1 million subscribers. Also, I find it funny that both the guy who plays Patrick Star and the guy who plays Mr.Krabs were both in a horror movie within a year of each other.
Joke Micky Mouse is sitting in a courtroom Judge: Mr Mouse you want to divorce your wife because shes insane correct Micky:No I never said she was insane Judge:Then why are you divorcing her Micky: I sad she was fucking goofy
Fun fact: if you watch F.V.J, you’ll see Freddy didn’t lose his hat when Jason was dragging him through the glass in the fire house. No matter what happens, his hat stays on the entire time.
Ah yes, Jason’s VERY well known aqua phobia, that’s why he has never even gone near water, and never even gone in it, and even if he did, he never would go under. Such a famous weakness
If it was a new version of Freddy and Jason, than the water weakness would have made sense. Only add that with Freddy fearing fire. But since they're the same characters from the original movies, that just backfired.
Imagine if the actors for the Jason, Michael, and Of course Robert Englund show up in costume to his wedding. Chelsea: James....why James: *fanboy noises*
@@GrandmasterBlueberrryIce If you don't think Chelsea would fangirl as hard (if not harder) than James about Robert Englund, you haven't been watching this channel long enough.
“Fred Krueger is like sleep malware” is actually such an accurate comparison even as a throwaway joke. I love James’s humor, he seems so smart and genuinely kind
@Miguel Messina in my opinion, yeah. He essentially functions as a worm sometimes and a trojan horse at others. He can freely spread himself across the lives and dreams of people and will sometimes present as benevolent or harmless to lure someone deeper into the nightmare he’s woven for them. Some parts of the metaphor don’t work, obviously, because he wasn’t written specifically to exist as a human version of malicious programming, but I think that the way he functions, travels, manipulates, and destroys people is accurate on a base enough level that I like the comparison.
An interesting aspect of Freddy Krueger as a character is that he manages to have a distinct personality, unlike Jason and Michael who are just psycho zombies, but still scary, unlike Chucky and Leprechaun. Yeah, I wouldn't hesitate in saying he's my favourite horror movie villain, at least from the big franchises.
To play devils advocate, Freddy's distinct personality is a positive & negative with every sequel he became more comedic & cheesy by the end he became a full blown joke full of one liners this is my main issue with the character I don't find him scary he just makes me laugh & for me that's the worst thing you can do in a horror movie, I understand Michael & Jason are zombie like lacking emotion but that's what's scary about them. I recognise Freddy's impact on the genre & I actually enjoy some of his films Freddy v Jason & the remake being my faves this is just my opinion I respect yours aswell. 😈👍
@Miguel Messina I know, what I meant was that he acts like a zombie: doesn't talk, doesn't gesticulate and always moves slowly. Just to clarify, I do like Michael and I the first Halloween is my favourite slasher film. But Freddy has much more personality, a thing that makes for a more enjoyable experience even in the bad Nightmare sequels, compared to to Halloween Resurrection or Curse where Michael shows to not be a compelling character outside of that first great film.
@@ValentinoTarhan I can see that, but as James said, Freddy's creativity makes for more diverse killings that give each sequel a uniqueness to it (part one has Glenn's eating bed, Dream Warriors has needles Freddy, Dream Master has the bug killing scene) compared to Michael's knife stabbings that after the part 2 becomes boring and predictable.
@@cheriebomb158 It's more of the fact that since Nancy's actress is officiating, it would be funny for Freddy to appear. Hell, maybe he could even be the person that interrupts with the "speak now or forever hold your piece" bit. We all know it won't happen, but can you imagine how amazing it would be? Especially for someone that's a huge fan of the series?
Dream Warriors really had a whole lot of great scenes. Truly a great movie before the series started going kinda downhill. And the fact that Nancy was back is a BIG plus! But the first 3 are definitely the best, the order is interchangeable but I agree with this one for the most part, but the whole top 3 I would agree with for sure
Not sure why, I always loved how they amped up Freddy in each film. It was like we discovered more of his abilities through different generations of teens. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to seeing how his abilities changed a bit here and there…. Until we were introduced to the dream demons.. 😅😂
Imagine telling young dead meat James that the main character in the original Nightmare on Elm Street was going to officiate your wedding in the future. Life is crazy lmfao
@@pandolam4513 Heather Langenkamp is the one that's gonna be saying "Chelsea, do you take this man....James do you take this woman.....now you may kiss the bride, etc" at their wedding. Like in the movies.
Still hoping for recounts of this franchise someday. I’d love to see him go in depth behind the scenes for these movies, especially after seeing him do the same for F13 and Child’s Play/Chucky.
a big franchise like nightmare is guaranteed views but without a new movie or tv show count for the end of it, i doubt we'll get a recount anytime soon because it takes such a big chunk out of the schedule. i hope we get it but i'd place my bets on next year at the least. f13 is kind of a special case since it was the first series he ever did
I want recomend to you all an anime called Attack number 1: shoujo about Kozue Ayuhara player of volleyball ❤ Masterpiece! ❤ One of the best anime I've seen in my life! 🥰 Watch it because, it's really great ❤❤❤
I like the remake a lot aswell. The only bad scene is the cgi wall Freddy. Cut that out of the film and its a solid horror film and is faithful to the original nightmare on elm street. People just dont appreciate it because it was mostly just the first film again (which is fair enough) and because its not Robert England (which is also understandable but the new Freddy was very good imo).
It's definitely better than most of the sequels, James was definitely a little biased since he did say in his review of the remake that he hated it. Also Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) helping kill the human Freddy in the flashback is amazing and no one can convince me otherwise
IMHO Freddy looked the most menacing and stylistically scary in Freddy's Revenge. The creepy contact lenses made him even more otherworldly. His burnt face makeup is the most real and gross-out looking from all the films (where in most of the Freddy movies it looks a lot of times too slick and pizza'y) Also Robert Englund's serious acting and expressive body language and gestures with the hat are the most cinematically strong and horrific.
@Nightmare1398 Yes totally, also the music in Freddy's Revenge is super intense and for me the best out of the series. Those slashing violins and that menacing tone, really dark and disturbing and pulsating with raw energy. Especially during the scene where his best friend is killed.
Always thought the menacingly evil brown eyes and thick brow should've been the signature of Freddy. Imagine how scarier the other movies would've been with that Freddy look?
"None of the actors beside Robert Englund apear in the other sequels". That is INCORRECT. The S&M bartender is played by Bob Shaye, who returns to the series in Part 4 (teacher), 6 (ticket vendor), WCNN (head of the movie studio) and FvsJ (the principal)-
One of my favorite parts about Freddy, is how he taunts his victims and allows them to respond to him, instead of just mindlessly walking around without talking and just slaughtering.
Wow. Seeing you in the comment section is like a blast from the past, I remember watching your nerf war video years ago, good to see you still active in the film and content creating world.
I want recomend to you all an anime called Attack number 1: shoujo about Kozue Ayuhara player of volleyball ❤ Masterpiece! ❤ One of the best anime I've seen in my life! 🥰 Watch it because, it's really great ❤❤❤
Honestly as Nightmare 2 is my favorite im just glad it got on the better half of the list. Jesse having an actually steady family was a nice surprise considering the parents we would get in sequels and Clu Gulager was hilarious yet sweet in his interviewed bits for the Never Sleep Again documentary
The highlite for me was getting a glimpse of the 'Probe' board game in Jessie's closet. The gay undertones killed me. XD Freddy's make up looked outstanding, with his warlock-like witch like aesthetic. I'd absolutely take Part 2 over New Nightmare any day, along with the Remake & even Freddy Vs Jason. As I've gotten older, i've come to have a whole new appreciate for part 5, with it's sulking atmopshere, stellar cinematopgraphy and high level of creativity and imagination.
A friend of mine worked on Robert Englund's indie film "Inkubus" in 2010 and my son and I visited the set. Aside from the cool body bits lying around and occasional severed head on set, I was able to talk to Robert about the then recent remake. He was surprisingly candid and said he wasn't a fan because he couldn't believe in the actors playing the teens. He felt they just didn't LOOK like scared teens - they looked like drugged up adults. He didn't say much more, but that was pretty telling. And I'm sure it doesn't need saying, but I will say it - Robert is an amazing guy and spent a while discussing his love for independent horror films and named quite a few. Class act. He needs to don the glove one more time.
Wow, such brutal honesty from Robert. Although funny at the same time as one of those “teens” Jesse Braun aka Thomas Dekker ended up working with him on Fear Clinic
I really wanted to like the remake, and I definitely liked it more than most people, I think. I was able to look past the pointless shot for shots from the original and some of the weaknesses in the script. When they were flirting with the idea of Freddy being innocent, I was intrigued. There could be some interesting stuff to come out of an innocent man being killed and then becoming a monster in the afterlife. And then they went back on it, and it felt pretty pointless
James: "Fred Kreuger running around in the real world kinda goes against his whole thing" Also James: *gives golden machete to Fred running around in the real world*
@@YTWgamer how is that an issue? He states numerous times that these rankings are updated opinions. For example, the leprechaun killcount has a ton of opinions disregarded because, news flash, people change lmao
@@N_o196 because the opinions are inconsistent. You can't hate a remake for being too similar to the original and then only criticize what's different about it.
@@N_o196 that's true. But to start off a critique by saying it's too similar, and then do nothing but complain about what's different? That's inconsistent. Exactly what I'm complaining about. Also, the new things don't necessarily suck. I can think the blow up dolls and shitty stretch Armstrong Freddy sucks, but that doesn't mean they do.
@@mattvillan4591 Its pretty much smack in the middle of my ranking list. I don't think that it's a good movie at all but it still beats Part 5, 6 and the remake.
Renny Harlin is an extremely talented & versatile director from Finland. I guess when you say Finnish fast enough, it can sound like French? IDK , but I know he's not French.
God, I agree with the remake. When they were toying with the idea that Freddy was innocent that really got my attention but then they had to have a twist on that twist.
When the movie was being made that plot point leaked, and allegedly he was originally going to actually BE innocent. There was a furor over that and I'm not sure if it changed the original planned ending any (like what happened when Terminator Salvation's ending leaked) or that was the plan all along. Regardless it is the worst of the series bar none.
New Nightmare was my second favorite to the original! I love when the limo driver is telling her how much he loves her in her films. Then he gets all descriptive and she rolls the window up on him. Wes Craven will be missed in the horror world!
Yes, it grew on me,too. I like the settings and script. Good effects and Wes' direction. I also really like Julie as a good character she was; loving,caring, and protective. Shame she died like Tina did. She reminds me of a family friend that loved me growing up as a kid. Wes is sorely missed.
The one thing that always confused me about the Nightmare movies was that they always made it seem like Freddy was victimizing LITTLE children when he was alive but in the movies it was always teenagers and sometimes adults. Why couldn't they just lead with that in the 1st place??
I love the epilepsy warnings and I wish more channels did the sound cues like that. I personally don’t have problems with flashing lights, but I really appreciate the effort to help those who need it in an unique and effective way.
I would love to see all these classics do something similar to what Halloween is doing. Going back to the Og roots and telling an actual story over X amount of movies
I think 1 through 6 are all fun movies so you'll get your money's worth,so in quality I think the nightmare franchise is more consistent than Friday the 13th or Halloween
It took years and years to realise this, but Taryn's death scene literally caused me to be afraid of needles during my childhood - I first watched Dream Warriors when I was like 8. Years later, when I realised, I could get over the phobia of needles.
I personally liked Dr. Gordon's character in Dream Warriors, he felt like one of, if not the only, adult in the series, outside of Nancy of course, who really seemed to care about the kids' well-beings and wanting to help them instead of being dismissive of Freddy's existence. Congrats on the wedding and getting Heather Langenkamp to officiate it. That must be a dream come true.....as long as Freddy doesn't show up and turn it into a nightmare.
Agreed! He genuinely listened and wanted to help. His business with Amanda Krueger wasn't boring to me either, it helped establish some interesting lore about Freddy in his backstory. Plus, his relationship with Nancy helped add layers to the connections the characters in the movie had.
NANCY THOMPSON IS OFFICIATING YOUR WEDDING?!?!?! HELL YEAH!! That's so awesome for you two! I'm super giddy for it, please please please release a wedding video! Heather sounds like an absolute treat to be around.
@@greatgator8303 Yeah I really wanted to finish this franchise back in February but they never added it and I really wanna experience the movies as a whole instead of just watching the Kill Count again.
@@beybladelover2759 well all of them were my favorites especially the one where Freddy issues one of the kids tendons to control him like a puppet and force him to jump off the roof it was cool and very disturbing especially when he was smiling.
Getting officiated by Heather Langenkamp after becoming friends with her, thats just freaking awesome :). Great ranking, and I agree. The movies with Nancy are the best. I love that John Saxon is in all of them :).
I read the most incredible Fan-Theorie: Freddy is kind of a jokster from the beginning, but gets more and more goofy and creatively playful, right? Well, he feeds on the souls of TEENAGERS (which is implied even in part one)! I always liked that character-arc (yes, it is one) and I think it makes sense that those souls would influence him. Notice the huge...development....from part II to III. He kills the most teens in II- in part III he really gets it started with puns and playfulness.
God I'd want nothing more than for James and Chelsea to discuss Mark Patton's Scream, Queen on the channel in any format. It's really what solidified Nightmare 2 as one of my all time favorite horror movies. Mad respect. Also a huge fan of the ranking, I'd definitely watch more.
Same here! I loved the documentary, so I'm curious what they have to say. Not only that, I remember not being a fan of Freddy's Revenge originally, but the documentary totally changed my perception when I gave the movie another chance.
I Thought Scream Queens was amazing. I Love that Mark Patton Got his Closure and has Embraced this movie as a Cult Classic now. Honestly aside from Heathers Performances, I always thought Marks acting was the best though the rest of the Franchise. It was a shame that cast never got a opportunity for Sequels.
As someone who grew up with the Nightmare series and also considers it my favorite horror franchise, this was a treat to see! Also, big time congrats to James & Chelsea on getting Heather Langenkamp to officiate their wedding! Seriously, how cool is that?!
I like seeing other videos than Kill Counts sometimes. It shows James’ diversity in his content. It’s also one of the things that I think makes him one of my favorite TH-camrs of all-time.
Also there's so many rankings and other things he can continue to do. I hope we get more What's Your Favorite Scary Movie? I freaking love that series.
1. A Nightmare On Elm Street 2. Dream Warriors 3. Wes Cravens New Nightmare 4. Freddys Revenge 5. Freddy Vs Jason 6. The Dream Child 7. The Dream Master 8. The Remake 9. Freddys Dead
"Ken Kirzinger's cool and all but his Jason seems sleepy-eyed and bored." Allegedly one of the reasons the director of Freddy vs. Jason picked Kirzinger to play Jason was because of his eyes.
It definitely should’ve been Hodder. He was so excited to play be in FvJ you know he would’ve been amazing. I still enjoyed the movie but Jason gets smacked around way to much. In the dream world it made sense but Freddy still dominated him for the majority of the fight at Crystal Lake. Kane would’ve definitely spoken up there.
@Miguel wasn’t aware of that lol I wasn’t a fan of Kirzengers performance regardless but I think that just was how he was directed. I did hate that sleepy look on his face.
In the commentary Ronny Yu say's it was the people over at New Line that wanted a new Jason. Maybe it was all just bs like most things in the movie industry.
@@mtb5431 fr, i feel like directors do that a lot, it’s really easy to Shift all the blame onto the evil entity that is “the studio” (dun dun dun). I feel like Freddy and Jason’s height difference isn’t something the studio cares about because height doesn’t make ticket sales and isn’t gonna exactly be a selling point like most cases of studio interferences are based on (like the studio firing (before later rehiring) American psychos director over her wanting to cast Christian Bale, a relative unknown vs Leonardo DiCaprio whom the studio wanted). It does however seem like it would be 100% the eye of the director that would decide it, additionally I think it’s such a minor thing that, if it was the studio, then Kane could probably get cast with any sort of fight from the director. The whole thing just seems fishy
My favorite part of Freddy's Dead is when Freddy says "I can't take it anymore! I'm gonna travel time!" And then travel times everywhere. Truly the most Freddy movie ever
James’ wedding be like “Jim Ross back here with you at this beautiful gathering, in the main event folks we’ve got James and Chelsea settling their love for one on one with Heather Langenkamp as the special enforcer to make sure things don’t get too out of hand here!”
Yea the original and Dream Warriors is pretty much the consistent top, and most agree New Nightmare is great. Outside of that it varies greatly person to person. So basically Heather Langenkamp is the key to the series and the rest is up to you
Imagine when he was a kid and watched nightmare on elm Street for the first time now James came and just said "hey that lady is gonna marry you to the love of your life" then leaving.
To be fair, I liked the idea of Freddy's "charm" (as he, himself, once put it) being part of a demonic origin--it shows that he was seen as too evil to be a human and was "rewarded" for his crimes at the end of his life with immortality. Pretty dang ironic, if you ask me! owo;;; Also, congrats on Nancy being your witness to your wedding!
I think the most jarring revelation in this is that Child’s Play & Saw are your other top 2 franchises in horror! I get Childs Play but for some reason hearing you say Saw caught me off guard
@@fromtexas2734 Cody is ok, James is like 100 times more interesting/funny and a better reviewer. I do follow Cody and enjoy his rankings sometimes though
I personally felt that the 2009-2011 period was when a lot of movies regardless of the genre were just trying too hard or relied too much on weak special effects, horrible acting, and just too much hype. It was just a slew of sequels, reboots, and spinoffs that never really went anywhere.
Nahhhh fat disagree. I’m calling people wack for The Wolfman not being a landslide success. I don’t see how it’s anything but an incredible Victorian horror masterpiece. And 2010 Freddy is preferable to me.

I like the remake a lot aswell. The only bad scene is the cgi wall Freddy. Cut that out of the film and its a solid horror film and is faithful to the original nightmare on elm street. People just dont appreciate it because it was mostly just the first film again (which is fair enough) and because its not Robert England (which is also understandable but the new Freddy was very good imo).
@@jxsh03 Exactly
It's definitely better than most of the sequels, James was definitely a little biased since he did say in his review of the remake that he hated it. Also Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) helping kill the human Freddy in the flashback is amazing and no one can convince me otherwise
Did anyone else notice the pure glee on James’ face when he talked about his wedding?
Your telling me that he is happy when he is talking about himself getting married
Now that he's married, James is still super happy and on break! Which is good for him
IMHO Freddy looked the most menacing and stylistically scary in Freddy's Revenge. The creepy contact lenses made him even more otherworldly. His burnt face makeup is the most real and gross-out looking from all the films (where in most of the Freddy movies it looks a lot of times too slick and pizza'y) Also Robert Englund's serious acting and expressive body language and gestures with the hat are the most cinematically strong and horrific.
@Nightmare1398 Yes totally, also the music in Freddy's Revenge is super intense and for me the best out of the series. Those slashing violins and that menacing tone, really dark and disturbing and pulsating with raw energy. Especially during the scene where his best friend is killed.
Plus the blades coming out of his hand instead of a glove is just straight up gross and disturbing
Always thought the menacingly evil brown eyes and thick brow should've been the signature of Freddy. Imagine how scarier the other movies would've been with that Freddy look?
I completely agree and was at his most brutal
What is IMHO?
I love how you pick out positive things about even the lower movies, because I feel there is some good in every movie!!!!
He said that he would do that in his first 3 ranking videos
Freddy's Dead had no good qualities
Not “I’ll always know what you did last summer”
I appreciate how the remake is at the bottom of this list, making it a true ranking between the movies with the remake as an honorable mention
Or dishonorable mention.
"None of the actors beside Robert Englund apear in the other sequels". That is INCORRECT. The S&M bartender is played by Bob Shaye, who returns to the series in Part 4 (teacher), 6 (ticket vendor), WCNN (head of the movie studio) and FvsJ (the principal)-
Did you just out-nerdy-fun-fact THE James A. Janise?
Nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd lol
He said "actor" not "producers who insist on putting himself in front of the camera".
@Viper Hareous Eh, technically yeah but logically no.
One of my favorite parts about Freddy, is how he taunts his victims and allows them to respond to him, instead of just mindlessly walking around without talking and just slaughtering.
I agree!
@Malaska 100%! His one-liners are the best. I love how, as the movies progressed the kills got either laughable or pure disgusting.(in a good way lol)
@@campbloodslasher5900 glad somebody agrees!
@Miguel Messina fuck yes bro. So glad somebody recognized where my name came from lol
This channel has turned horror movies into just fun for me. There's so much love that goes on it's nuts.
Always love these ranking videos. Hopefully the views make them worth it and we can see more in the future!
Nice amount of likes
Wow. Seeing you in the comment section is like a blast from the past, I remember watching your nerf war video years ago, good to see you still active in the film and content creating world.
I want recomend to you all an anime called Attack number 1: shoujo about Kozue Ayuhara player of volleyball ❤ Masterpiece! ❤ One of the best anime I've seen in my life! 🥰 Watch it because, it's really great ❤❤❤
I love all ranking videos, almost regardless of the content lol
It's cool seeing you here! I used to really like that short film you made about not looking.
Honestly as Nightmare 2 is my favorite im just glad it got on the better half of the list. Jesse having an actually steady family was a nice surprise considering the parents we would get in sequels and Clu Gulager was hilarious yet sweet in his interviewed bits for the Never Sleep Again documentary
Same!
The highlite for me was getting a glimpse of the 'Probe' board game in Jessie's closet. The gay undertones killed me. XD
Freddy's make up looked outstanding, with his warlock-like witch like aesthetic. I'd absolutely take Part 2 over New Nightmare any day, along with the Remake & even Freddy Vs Jason.
As I've gotten older, i've come to have a whole new appreciate for part 5, with it's sulking atmopshere, stellar cinematopgraphy and high level of creativity and imagination.
I teared up at the end man, imagine having your wedding officiated by one of horror's greatest scream queens! So happy for you guys!
Having your wedding officiated by the iconic Heather Langenkamp is an insanely amazing flex. I'm so excited for you!
A friend of mine worked on Robert Englund's indie film "Inkubus" in 2010 and my son and I visited the set. Aside from the cool body bits lying around and occasional severed head on set, I was able to talk to Robert about the then recent remake. He was surprisingly candid and said he wasn't a fan because he couldn't believe in the actors playing the teens. He felt they just didn't LOOK like scared teens - they looked like drugged up adults. He didn't say much more, but that was pretty telling. And I'm sure it doesn't need saying, but I will say it - Robert is an amazing guy and spent a while discussing his love for independent horror films and named quite a few. Class act. He needs to don the glove one more time.
Wow, such brutal honesty from Robert. Although funny at the same time as one of those “teens” Jesse Braun aka Thomas Dekker ended up working with him on Fear Clinic
I sure hope he will do it. Heck.... make as many more as he likes... we will watch them all.
I love how supportive he is of Taryn's "beautiful and bad" line.
I'll give Dream Child one thing, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter is a classic, that's it.
Iron Maiden
@@EDsavant yes
@@EDsavant yes, but this is the Bruce solo version. Maiden is on the album No prayer for the dying.
@@dumbass3651 true, yet it is such a great tune still. It's the only good thing about the film.
@@dumbass3651 razzie
I really wanted to like the remake, and I definitely liked it more than most people, I think. I was able to look past the pointless shot for shots from the original and some of the weaknesses in the script. When they were flirting with the idea of Freddy being innocent, I was intrigued. There could be some interesting stuff to come out of an innocent man being killed and then becoming a monster in the afterlife. And then they went back on it, and it felt pretty pointless
I know right, they could've put an interesting twist....and they completely dropped the ball
@@alexandernickaboine4798 I do think he was the scariest though
Yeah, plus the fact the cast was awful too, Rooney Mara as Nancy Thompson didn't convinced me
Katie Cassidy should've been Nancy, she was really good in the Remake.
They always seem to forget character development in remakes lol
British: "Niche"
American: "Nitch"
James: "Nietzsche"
When
it’s “Niche” in america too if you’re not dumb
Sounds German
@@oliverjones3693 He was a German philosopher of nihilism
False Swipe Gaming: "Niche" but every video.
Personally would love to see an iteration where Freddy WAS just an innocent man minding his business.
"the map says we're fucked" is one of my favorite lines in all of film
James: "Fred Kreuger running around in the real world kinda goes against his whole thing"
Also James: *gives golden machete to Fred running around in the real world*
If his criticism was consistent it'd be much easier to listen to.
@@YTWgamer how is that an issue? He states numerous times that these rankings are updated opinions. For example, the leprechaun killcount has a ton of opinions disregarded because, news flash, people change lmao
@@N_o196 because the opinions are inconsistent. You can't hate a remake for being too similar to the original and then only criticize what's different about it.
@@YTWgamer I mean, you kinda can lmao. If a remake is too similar than it's boring, and if it does different things that suck, then it sucks lmao
@@N_o196 that's true. But to start off a critique by saying it's too similar, and then do nothing but complain about what's different? That's inconsistent. Exactly what I'm complaining about. Also, the new things don't necessarily suck. I can think the blow up dolls and shitty stretch Armstrong Freddy sucks, but that doesn't mean they do.
Great video, glad to see Part 2 ranked pretty high here, that's my favorite version of Freddy Kruger
Oh hey tell it animated is here , wassup dude
Your voice is amazing to listen to
same
What's up, Tell It Animated!!!
It's my least favorite lol
@@mattvillan4591 Its pretty much smack in the middle of my ranking list. I don't think that it's a good movie at all but it still beats Part 5, 6 and the remake.
Renny Harlin is an extremely talented & versatile director from Finland. I guess when you say Finnish fast enough, it can sound like French? IDK , but I know he's not French.
"From Counting Up,
To Counting Down.
Better Watch Out
Freddie's In Town."
God, I agree with the remake. When they were toying with the idea that Freddy was innocent that really got my attention but then they had to have a twist on that twist.
When the movie was being made that plot point leaked, and allegedly he was originally going to actually BE innocent. There was a furor over that and I'm not sure if it changed the original planned ending any (like what happened when Terminator Salvation's ending leaked) or that was the plan all along. Regardless it is the worst of the series bar none.
New Nightmare was my second favorite to the original! I love when the limo driver is telling her how much he loves her in her films. Then he gets all descriptive and she rolls the window up on him. Wes Craven will be missed in the horror world!
Yes, it grew on me,too.
I like the settings and script. Good effects and Wes' direction. I also really like Julie as a good character she was; loving,caring, and protective. Shame she died like Tina did. She reminds me of a family friend that loved me growing up as a kid.
Wes is sorely missed.
It's my favorite one!
The one thing that always confused me about the Nightmare movies was that they always made it seem like Freddy was victimizing LITTLE children when he was alive but in the movies it was always teenagers and sometimes adults. Why couldn't they just lead with that in the 1st place??
I’m such a fan of dead meat … who else said “super Freddy Sucks” the same time as James during the video
Me of course
Not me
Every... !@$-ing... time.
I love the epilepsy warnings and I wish more channels did the sound cues like that. I personally don’t have problems with flashing lights, but I really appreciate the effort to help those who need it in an unique and effective way.
@James Iron That was such a knee slapper
“His face looks like burned cheese”- James :D
Similar to what Cinemassacre said about the 2010 Freddy Krueger makeup. He said "It looks like melted cheese."
I never knew that
I lost when he said that
it was inspired by pizza i think
I would love to see all these classics do something similar to what Halloween is doing. Going back to the Og roots and telling an actual story over X amount of movies
I got a little misty eyed hearing about Heather Langenkamp becoming ordained for your wedding next year! Your lives are the coolest!
"Well the map says we're fucked!!" Is one of my favorite movie quotes of al time.
Freddy Krueger: in James dream
James: not scared
Freddy: thanks killing 3
James: screams louder than Reggie
And Jessie
I think 1 through 6 are all fun movies so you'll get your money's worth,so in quality I think the nightmare franchise is more consistent than Friday the 13th or Halloween
It took years and years to realise this, but Taryn's death scene literally caused me to be afraid of needles during my childhood - I first watched Dream Warriors when I was like 8. Years later, when I realised, I could get over the phobia of needles.
Okay?
I need a “super Freddy sucks” shirt
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, BITCH! (Kiddin bout bitch part, had to Freddy it up a bit)
You have bad taste
@@sanitorz232 hey who do you like better chucky or freedy
Same
@@sanitorz232 how do I have bad taste lol
I personally liked Dr. Gordon's character in Dream Warriors, he felt like one of, if not the only, adult in the series, outside of Nancy of course, who really seemed to care about the kids' well-beings and wanting to help them instead of being dismissive of Freddy's existence.
Congrats on the wedding and getting Heather Langenkamp to officiate it. That must be a dream come true.....as long as Freddy doesn't show up and turn it into a nightmare.
Agreed! He genuinely listened and wanted to help. His business with Amanda Krueger wasn't boring to me either, it helped establish some interesting lore about Freddy in his backstory. Plus, his relationship with Nancy helped add layers to the connections the characters in the movie had.
FREDDY PLAYING “NES” you forgot the POWER GLOVE !! Comon that is HISTORIC!!!
Ahhaahhahahhahah
Freddy being innocent was a great idea in the remake... and they wasted.
That would have been the one thing that would have made it memorable. I wonder if they ever considered it, but then chickened out.
The remake of NOES is personally for me even worse than the 2007 remake of Halloween
@@DodoRibeiro-ts6po Probably because the Halloween remake did was more original.
@Miguel Messina Rob Zombie one better?
Yeah. The more I look at it. The remake is.... Ok. It services what its out to do. Modernize the classic.
NANCY THOMPSON IS OFFICIATING YOUR WEDDING?!?!?! HELL YEAH!! That's so awesome for you two! I'm super giddy for it, please please please release a wedding video! Heather sounds like an absolute treat to be around.
I think they said they won't release one because this is a private thing for them
It sucks that HBO Max doesn't have the third installment of this franchise.
True
@@greatgator8303 Yeah I really wanted to finish this franchise back in February but they never added it and I really wanna experience the movies as a whole instead of just watching the Kill Count again.
Dude I’ve checked over 20 times in the last months to see if they’ve added it
@@keahiii Which sucks because the franchise will be leaving HBO Max by the end of July. ☹
Damn. :(
I love the ranking video. Keep them coming. I'd like to see your thoughts on the Saw movies best to worst, Child's Play as well.
Ok having Heather officiate the wedding is the DOPEST THING EVER!!!
I love how fun dream warriors is. It’s honestly a blast.
What was your favorite kill in it?
@@beybladelover2759 well all of them were my favorites especially the one where Freddy issues one of the kids tendons to control him like a puppet and force him to jump off the roof it was cool and very disturbing especially when he was smiling.
@@elijahbaker781 the puppet kill was the most bone chilling which is the reason why I liked it too.
@@beybladelover2759 exactly
@@elijahbaker781 it’s your favorite movie in the series?
Getting officiated by Heather Langenkamp after becoming friends with her, thats just freaking awesome :). Great ranking, and I agree. The movies with Nancy are the best. I love that John Saxon is in all of them :).
I read the most incredible Fan-Theorie:
Freddy is kind of a jokster from the beginning, but gets more and more goofy and creatively playful, right?
Well, he feeds on the souls of TEENAGERS (which is implied even in part one)!
I always liked that character-arc (yes, it is one) and I think it makes sense that those souls would influence him.
Notice the huge...development....from part II to III. He kills the most teens in II- in part III he really gets it started with puns and playfulness.
Yeah that’s fucking stupid
God I'd want nothing more than for James and Chelsea to discuss Mark Patton's Scream, Queen on the channel in any format. It's really what solidified Nightmare 2 as one of my all time favorite horror movies. Mad respect. Also a huge fan of the ranking, I'd definitely watch more.
Same here! I loved the documentary, so I'm curious what they have to say. Not only that, I remember not being a fan of Freddy's Revenge originally, but the documentary totally changed my perception when I gave the movie another chance.
I Thought Scream Queens was amazing. I Love that Mark Patton Got his Closure and has Embraced this movie as a Cult Classic now. Honestly aside from Heathers Performances, I always thought Marks acting was the best though the rest of the Franchise. It was a shame that cast never got a opportunity for Sequels.
As someone who grew up with the Nightmare series and also considers it my favorite horror franchise, this was a treat to see! Also, big time congrats to James & Chelsea on getting Heather Langenkamp to officiate their wedding! Seriously, how cool is that?!
I like seeing other videos than Kill Counts sometimes. It shows James’ diversity in his content. It’s also one of the things that I think makes him one of my favorite TH-camrs of all-time.
Yeah, like the podcasts, these ranking videos, his annual supercuts, and now Zoran's new show "They Talk"
Also there's so many rankings and other things he can continue to do. I hope we get more What's Your Favorite Scary Movie? I freaking love that series.
I love new nightmare so much for how ambitious it was. Glad to see you rank it top 3!

personally, the original Nightmare is my favorite film of all time.
“I just can’t look away from the ever growing twisted heap of bad decisions” - Perfect description of why we watch reality tv. Or the news.
1. A Nightmare On Elm Street
2. Dream Warriors
3. Wes Cravens New Nightmare
4. Freddys Revenge
5. Freddy Vs Jason
6. The Dream Child
7. The Dream Master
8. The Remake
9. Freddys Dead
The killing along the ceiling scene in the 1st one and the bath scene were just amazing.
"It's travellin time!" was a reference to the Fantastic Four's, The Thing's catchphrase- "It's clobberin time!"
“His face looks like burnt cheese” Damn that got me 😂
Especially since freddys make up was inspired by twisted cheese on a pizza
“ He’s got the hat, he’s got the sweater, and his face looks like burnt cheese🤣”
"Ken Kirzinger's cool and all but his Jason seems sleepy-eyed and bored."
Allegedly one of the reasons the director of Freddy vs. Jason picked Kirzinger to play Jason was because of his eyes.
It definitely should’ve been Hodder. He was so excited to play be in FvJ you know he would’ve been amazing.
I still enjoyed the movie but Jason gets smacked around way to much. In the dream world it made sense but Freddy still dominated him for the majority of the fight at Crystal Lake. Kane would’ve definitely spoken up there.
@Miguel wasn’t aware of that lol I wasn’t a fan of Kirzengers performance regardless but I think that just was how he was directed. I did hate that sleepy look on his face.
In the commentary Ronny Yu say's it was the people over at New Line that wanted a new Jason.
Maybe it was all just bs like most things in the movie industry.
@Hissatu or he’s just passing the buck lol
@@mtb5431 fr, i feel like directors do that a lot, it’s really easy to Shift all the blame onto the evil entity that is “the studio” (dun dun dun).
I feel like Freddy and Jason’s height difference isn’t something the studio cares about because height doesn’t make ticket sales and isn’t gonna exactly be a selling point like most cases of studio interferences are based on (like the studio firing (before later rehiring) American psychos director over her wanting to cast Christian Bale, a relative unknown vs Leonardo DiCaprio whom the studio wanted). It does however seem like it would be 100% the eye of the director that would decide it, additionally I think it’s such a minor thing that, if it was the studio, then Kane could probably get cast with any sort of fight from the director.
The whole thing just seems fishy
Hello, it's 2022 now. Congrats on the wedding man!!!
Part one will always be my personal favourite but Dream Warriors is pretty much the perfect sequel. Flawless, really.

James’ wedding be like “Jim Ross back here with you at this beautiful gathering, in the main event folks we’ve got James and Chelsea settling their love for one on one with Heather Langenkamp as the special enforcer to make sure things don’t get too out of hand here!”
Me, who has never seen a NoES film: “yep, that ranking makes sense”
Me, whos only ever seen the first one: "Yep these rankings are acurate"
Lol
I was unfortunate enough to see the remake first. It was playing on my grandmas tv one day and I had nothing else to do...yikes
Yea the original and Dream Warriors is pretty much the consistent top, and most agree New Nightmare is great. Outside of that it varies greatly person to person. So basically Heather Langenkamp is the key to the series and the rest is up to you
Imagine when he was a kid and watched nightmare on elm Street for the first time now James came and just said "hey that lady is gonna marry you to the love of your life" then leaving.
To be fair, I liked the idea of Freddy's "charm" (as he, himself, once put it) being part of a demonic origin--it shows that he was seen as too evil to be a human and was "rewarded" for his crimes at the end of his life with immortality.
Pretty dang ironic, if you ask me!
owo;;;
Also, congrats on Nancy being your witness to your wedding!
I'm so happy Heather's joining Netflix's Haunting Of series anthology with Midnight Club. Want to see more of her.

I personally felt that the 2009-2011 period was when a lot of movies regardless of the genre were just trying too hard or relied too much on weak special effects, horrible acting, and just too much hype. It was just a slew of sequels, reboots, and spinoffs that never really went anywhere.

I agree for the most part, but it’s a straight up crime the F13 reboot didn’t get a sequel. I love that movie. Third in franchise behind 4 and 6
Nahhhh fat disagree. I’m calling people wack for The Wolfman not being a landslide success. I don’t see how it’s anything but an incredible Victorian horror masterpiece. And 2010 Freddy is preferable to me.
