@@theraven268 Just about to say this. They, for the most part, actually kept true to keeping Freddy dead. Unlike Jason, who had, like, three "The Final Friday"s haha.
Nightmare 1: Aged poorly Nightmare 2: Why is it so weird...and gay? Nightmare 3: Good suddenly Nightmare 4: Squandered potential Nightmare 5: More of the same, but worse Nightmare 6: An actual clown
30:13 That moment when you realize that absolutely no one on this panel is old enough to remember the original Nintendo tagline: "Now you're playing with power!" It didn't even inspire a groan, because nobody recognized that they were trying to do a thing. Just... crickets.
Yet that was the scene all the kids at school were talking about. I remember my friends and I meme-ing the kid hitting his dad saying "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!", but that's not actually what happened 🤔
This is one of those movie that I love find in the middle of the night on tv, tunning in in the middle, and losing my mind over what the fuck is going on.
You guys are obviously working really hard because this release schedule has been incredible. I can’t wait to hear what the next arc is because this one has been hilarious!! Keep up the good work everybody. P.S. I have to rewind and rewatch every time Fringy or Jlongbone gut laugh, really fun everyone.
@@Simon-yp7rv True, but it still had its serious moments... Compare the scene where he brutally turns a girl into a cockroach🪳 and kills her... to how he kills Spencer 🎮
Honestly, I think this film goes into slot 3 just for the meme factor. And they did actually go whole hog with the dream angle for set pieces/visuals for this one, so I appreciate that much
Freddy's Dead feels like they just said, "Fuck it. This is basically an R-rated Looney Tunes film, and frankly, I absolutely fuck with it. It's pretty awful as a horror film, but it absolutely slaps as a comedy.
@@unlimitedricepudding7826 The part where Freddy starts doing kung-fu moves at Doc and the sequence of him getting the shit beat out of him by Doc afterwards perfectly exemplifies your statement haha.
I feel that it is important to mention that Maggie does actually appear again in the comics... As Freddy's minion. And fuckbuddy. To help him take over the white house. And the explanation for this character 180 is basically 'Guess it runs in the family.'
How curious that Maggie/Katherine, despite being Freddy Krueger's daughter and therefore the one with the most connection to him...never became a popular heroine unlike Nancy and Alice.
Honestly the beginning sequence makes more sense than any of the other movies, you‘d think that someone like freddy, who can kill kids in their sleep at any time, would terrorise them first through nightmares. If he just wanted to kill them it would make no sense for him to chase them around like a goober. Could‘ve been a really cool premise for a movie, not letting you know what is a dream and what‘s real while someone with godlike powers tries to scare you before he kills you, just constant anxiety
These campy shitty sequels still have more entertainment then a lot of the modern movies that come out today. Back then I think everyone involved in production knew they weren't actually creating the best movie but they did their job, got paid & didn't blame the fans when the movie bombed. Or they would acknowledge that the movie they were in was going straight to VHS. A B movie is a B movie, no need to pretend that it is a high piece of art.
@@jackalcoyote8777 you know how many president's have had a mcdonalds addiction? Warren Buffet almost exclusively ate there for the longest time. And say what you will, but this junk food has a lot of meat to chew on. Like this junk food gets remixed into New Nightmare and then refined into Scream.
@jackalcoyote8777 and yet in spite of that stuff they have achieved some measure of great success. Maybe sometimes you just need a cheeseburger. And sometimes, when it hits that right spot, you can actually taste it and appreciate its flavors. Not all Junk food is Disney brand bubblegum that loses flavor the more you chew on it.
More horror arcs: The Omen Child's Play/Chuckie Puppetmaster Hellraiser The Exorcist Jaws Night of the living dead(Romero did the first one, a fight over the rights lead to two sets of sequels, and then the remakes) Texas Chainsaw Massacre Technically *It* has a few TV movies and a few theatrical remakes Newer Bloomhouse ones Anything Troma Also maybe filmographies: Eli Roth Rob Zombie Roger Corman
@@JoshuaKevinPerry Killing the trio of survivors at the beginning just drained their investment. It's worse than Nancy. At least she spent the first half of the 3rd movie being a solid character before becoming a buffoon and being killed, the trio from the 3rd movie had the downgrading and death pretty early on.
Speaking of other horror franchises: the Hellraiser movies that Mauler mentioned are also mixed bags. As well as the Child's Play/Chucky movies. Looking forward to the next years of Halloween arcs! :D
46:21 When it was originally released on VHS, it came with 3D Glasses because the scenes towards the end when they're in the dream dimension were all in 3D. It was old skool 3D but it did work, and it looked as though Fred's head was outside of the television.
Oh man, I remember when going to see this in the theater and had to put those glasses on. It was primitive but fun as a first "3D" movie I ever saw. I think you had the option to watch the DVD with red green colors so you could watch it with those glasses on.
Mauler, don't you see? If you take the evidence from all the films you'll find that Nightmare on Elm Street series is a MULTIVERSE plot. Freddies from all across the multiverse can cross the dream threshold into this one continuity. So each Freddy looks different because each movie's featured Freddy is from a different but generally similar dream reality connected to those people. There are in fact infinite Freddys! The nightmare never needs to end.
When the boys mention that this movie is a warner brothers cartoon, they're completely on the money. That is EXACTLY what the filmmakers were going for with this last entry. It's an R-rated Looney Tunes with Freddy as Bugs Bunny. Rags is right that the funnier thing to do with the whole fall-into-spikes thing would be to have him miss. It's exactly what a Looney Tune gag would do. Given the tone of the movie, the whole sequence with the fighting girl is... odd. It's bizarrely serious. Even the abuse that is alluded to with Carlos is more played for sadistic slapstick than actual horror. The filmmakers thought this was the last one, regardless of box office. There were no plans for another entry. They even had a funeral for Freddy. New Line might've been the studio that Freddy built, but they thought they had outgrown their roots. It's frankly a miracle that New Nightmare and Freddy vs Jason ended up happening. After that, all the old guard was gone from the studio, so it was natural that a reboot of one of New Line's most successful movie franchises would happen. I am kinda surprised that the guys rated this one so highly. It's usually in the bottom three for most people, alongside Freddy's Revenge and the remake.
Does the EFAP crew not know that the Johnny Depp appearance was a real commercial we had back in the day? "Your brains on drugs" was a huge ad campaign at the time, and Depp was in one of them. All the hot young drugged out stars were making them.
Mauler: They forgot the framework from Dream Warriors. *Mauler presented with fitting thematic death of hearing aid kid* Mauler: That belongs in a different movie... Mauler doesn't know what Mauler wants anymore...
I'd love to see their reactions to the Halloween series. Probably too big of a series for them to do though. There's so many of those fucking movies now.
What about Fringy? Maulers my favorite but an Efap without the others is like peanut butter and jelly sandwich…if you’re missing the bread, or peanut butter, or jelly it’s just not the same…something’s missing
That beginning reminded me of American Dad when Stan was an old man and fell off a mountain, and it kept going with him saying in the middle of it, "Still? Really? Still falling?" as he went.
Just listening to the intro and them discussing what film franchise to do in the future for halloween I had an idea. There are somehow 9 Texas Chainsaw movies which would probably be more interesting of a slasher series to tackle than the well trodden Halloween and Friday the 13th series. Texas chainsaw obviously is famous but the sequels are lesser known to a modern wide audience and get pretty wild. Just thought it might be worth considering for a long run of films to do for an October.
Night of the living Dead is probably the best choice for movie quality, but I personally would want to see something out of left field like a Vincent Price or universal monsters arc.
I've seen the first two. The first movie was an actually good slasher film. The second was a slapstick comedy for some reason. Then isn't it just a bunch of reboots after that?
Mauler, you do understand that Wes Craven's New Nightmare comes next, right? Because you keep talking like you think Freddy vs. Jason is next. Not that it matters AT ALL continuity-wise, but one movie came out 9 years before the other. You don't want to jump ahead to the 2000's and then have to circle back to the '90s again, do ya?
They Pennywised Freddy in this one and i think someone was proud of that idea 🤣 Remember Pennywise folks? The clown from 1986. Big success. Lets make Freddy ike IT.
This is a great way to watch these films Ive never seen before but have been alive long enough to remember when most of them came out. It was just all about the SFX. As a big fan of the band Ghost I appreciated the "searchlights" music sting from "Watcher in the Sky"
In terms of what could be regarded as the best horror franchise quality wise, I think I could make an argument for the Scream series. There's still some stupid stuff in it, but it's probably the most consistent in quality across the board, and there's always something good in every one, plus the characters tend to be the biggest strength.
Fringy is learning anti-improv skills and Rags is suddenly anti-puns. What is this... some kinda... anti-world where everything is all topsy turvy and nothing means nothin' no more, man?!?
"It's like R-Rated Looney Tunes' yup & that's why I love it, unlike 2 & 4 which were frustrating this one is just funny af ridiculous. It's so 90s 😂 Also Mauler, you can't miss the 80s my dude you weren't there & stop bullying Mootal, his German tism is a situational disability Edit: Ranking the franchise I'd say 3, 1, New Nightmare, Freddy vs Jason, 6, 5, 2, 4 & fuck the remake
It is the Final Nightmare considering, its the end of the timeline considering the Meta of the next film. What was good in 3 was probably because it has some involement with Wes Craven ountil New Nightnmare
Up, up and away! -Superman I don't think were in Kansas anymore. -Dorothy Bring the Fring -Fringold It's travelin time!!!!!! -Freddy Kruger Ya know, the classics 😏
50:36 In my insomnia-adled brain, I thought the dream people in the movie and their talking was edited in by Wolf. It was that goofy to me I thought it was a joke. Until it cut away from the "I want it all" music and then Mauler's "Oh God."
Watching the making of documentary for this was fascinating. The people making it were so over it, actual depression. "We had no good ideas so we did some nonsense and then tried to appeal to the 3D gimmick but that also failed because it looks terrible, we tried though"
@@geneangrypenguin5876Evil Dead has always been kinda wonky with its timeline consistency since the second film (then again, that was more because of copyright bs regarding the first film's footage).
I don't know if I can say Reboot and Rise are great. Maybe each in a vacuum, but as Evil Dead movies, I don't think they work. In terms of franchises with more hits than misses? I would say overall, the reboots were kind to the Child's play series. Edit: Thought of a better franchise that is mostly hits. The living Dead series.
@Jadguy24 to me they feel too slick to compare to the first. Like that amateur jank, muffled audio and grainy film plays into the surreal nature of what you see and make the deadites feel unique, the new ones have the film quality advantages where they mostly feel like bog standard possessed people. Especially with the colored lenses replacing the milky white eyes.
I mean unironically this is the best one imo. Easily the most entertaining and not even in an unintentional way, 3 was best of the more conventional 'attempts' but this one seems to just embrace the goofyness and didnt waste anywhere near as much time as the others did trying badly to set up its meat puppet characters or justify that Freddy came back.
*Freddy's Dead* but for real this time. Trust me, bro. I've only lied to you like five times before.
When you’re Freddy Krueger, death stalks you at every turn…
Well, it is actually sort of true in this case... New Nightmare and the remake are both different continuities and the VS movie sort of is too.
@@theraven268 Just about to say this. They, for the most part, actually kept true to keeping Freddy dead. Unlike Jason, who had, like, three "The Final Friday"s haha.

When this movie came out to theaters it was in 3D. The old kind with the red and blue glasses.
I was 15 in 1991 and saw this in theaters. You only wore the glasses for the last 15 minutes or so of the movie.
I remember you were supposed to put the glasses on when the girl does in the movie
For some reason me having a lazy eye has made 3D glasses not work for me ever haha
Johnny Depp was credited as "Oprah Noodlemantra", and that's the _least_ weird thing about this movie.
Isnt that how he was credited in 1?
Isn't that is actual name??
“Fans requested this… why”

after that maybe Scream, Conjuring???, and Scary Movie just to subvert our expectations.

How curious that Maggie/Katherine, despite being Freddy Krueger's daughter and therefore the one with the most connection to him...never became a popular heroine unlike Nancy and Alice.
It's almost like they invented her six movies in, in the most comedic movie in the franchise.
I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out. They gave you the old school blue and red 3-D glasses.
Honestly the evil dead franchise is probably the only consistently good horror franchise come to think of it.
Came here to say the exact same thing

If you're looking for potential franchises for next year, might I suggest:
- Scream
- Leprechaun
- Hellraiser
- Jaws
- Halloween
This is an unofficial Scary Movie prequel.
I think Wes Craven's New Nightmare is more of a Scary Movie prequel/proof of concept than this one.
I don't know why they made movies after this. This is cinematic perfection

Edit: Ranking the franchise I'd say 3, 1, New Nightmare, Freddy vs Jason, 6, 5, 2, 4 & fuck the remake
"loads of efap fans asked please do elm street. Why?" oh, sweet summer child, do you think chat wants you to watch good stuff? 😂
It is the Final Nightmare considering, its the end of the timeline considering the Meta of the next film. What was good in 3 was probably because it has some involement with Wes Craven ountil New Nightnmare
Up, up and away! -Superman
I don't think were in Kansas anymore. -Dorothy
Bring the Fring -Fringold
It's travelin time!!!!!! -Freddy Kruger
Ya know, the classics 😏
You should do the Stephen Sommers Mummy movies and Scorpion King movies for a Halloween arc. There are 8 total.
I want a comedy about a camp dream demon that just fucks with people, possibly even without being able to kill them. There’s potential here.
50:36 In my insomnia-adled brain, I thought the dream people in the movie and their talking was edited in by Wolf. It was that goofy to me I thought it was a joke. Until it cut away from the "I want it all" music and then Mauler's "Oh God."
Can't deny this one's charm
Watching the making of documentary for this was fascinating. The people making it were so over it, actual depression. "We had no good ideas so we did some nonsense and then tried to appeal to the 3D gimmick but that also failed because it looks terrible, we tried though"
Okay.... good job editor
14:33 🎶 Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. 🎶 🤣🤣🤣
The only horror movie series where every part of it is great is Evil Dead, even the remakes are great
Funnily enough they meta retconned the whole thing. The books in the remake and Rise are the other 2 books from Ash and the Army of Darkness.
@@geneangrypenguin5876Evil Dead has always been kinda wonky with its timeline consistency since the second film (then again, that was more because of copyright bs regarding the first film's footage).
I don't know if I can say Reboot and Rise are great. Maybe each in a vacuum, but as Evil Dead movies, I don't think they work.
In terms of franchises with more hits than misses? I would say overall, the reboots were kind to the Child's play series.
Edit: Thought of a better franchise that is mostly hits. The living Dead series.
@@righteousindifference3179 I like them they are more in a vein similar to the first Evil dead
@Jadguy24 to me they feel too slick to compare to the first. Like that amateur jank, muffled audio and grainy film plays into the surreal nature of what you see and make the deadites feel unique, the new ones have the film quality advantages where they mostly feel like bog standard possessed people. Especially with the colored lenses replacing the milky white eyes.
I mean unironically this is the best one imo. Easily the most entertaining and not even in an unintentional way, 3 was best of the more conventional 'attempts' but this one seems to just embrace the goofyness and didnt waste anywhere near as much time as the others did trying badly to set up its meat puppet characters or justify that Freddy came back.
