The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has seen a slew of sequels ever since Wes Craven's 1984 classic. Few reach the same heights as the original, except for one: A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 3 Dream Warriors (1987). While other sequels, like Freddy's Dead or Freddy Vs. Jason aimed for laughs and spectacle, Dream Warriors managed to deepen the narrative and develop returning characters, all while upping the scale of every nightmare. Dream Warriors features some of Freddy Krueger's best kills, the return of Nancy Thompson, and deals with the troubling theme of teen mental health. What is the greatest horror sequel of all time? Dream Warriors certainly deserves consideration for the title. A classic slasher movie with timeless appeal.

The one thing I would say about part 2 that does make it special is the fact that it was when Freddy coined the phrase you are all my children now which would be a theme he would go back to and revisit a few more times and that thing might not have existed without Freddy's Revenge

[@Nightman221k]

My favorite is part 4. I also like part 3 though, I just think I like 4 best cause Alice and her friend group endeared themselves to me the most of any group, funnily enough I also loved 5 for similar reasons. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favorite horror franchise cause I my think every film is entertaining even if it’s not working in one specific area.

[@adam_williamk8280]

One more thing, a look at the Ring would be epic. (2002).

[@ItsGregKon]

Ouuu now that you mention it, I might have an interesting angle for The Ring and that type of early 2000s horror. I feel like it was very influential for a while.

[@adam_williamk8280]

@@ItsGregKon Deadly man. New sub. ☝️☝️☝️

[@BlessedbyThee1]

Good video , can you do more videos on horror

[@ItsGregKon]

Thank you! I have a video about Sam Raimi on my channel that breaks down his horror style at one point if you're looking for more right now 😊 I love horror movies so I'll definitely do more in the future!

[@Laidengizer011]

Well said. I agree. New Nightmare was interesting, but Dream Warriors was easily the best sequel. And yeah, Freddy's Dead is straight up trash.

[@Godzillafan1980]

Part 3 end of discussion this video should be 10 seconds long

[@adam_williamk8280]

Good video man. Well written, edited and captivating. Slightly disagree with New Nightmare. I think it's the joint second best sequel. Keep up the good work man! 👍🇮🇪

[@ItsGregKon]

Thank you so much!😃 New Nightmare is really well made, just not my cup of tea. I might owe it a revisit tho..

[@matthews4424]

I like these horror videos a lot. Have considered looking into the Hellraiser franchise?

[@ItsGregKon]

Thank you! I've only seen the first 2, many years ago. Really love the first Hellraiser movie though

[@alkaline8681]

So you’re saying that dream warriors is a sequel to the first film????

[@ItsGregKon]

Exactly!

[@fearfactorymark]

Elm Street 3 was the best

[@ItsGregKon]

Agreed, it's the perfect Nightmare movie for me

[@notmyrealname6150]

None. They all sucked.
