New Nightmare (1994)


Happy Halloween everybody!!! I love this holiday and I am so excited to take my kiddos out Trick-or-Treating. They look so cute in their costumes and I just love hearing how cute they look by all the people we visit. As a parent I just love people gushing over my kids. If it wasn't for the fact that by the time we get home and get the kids to bed I'm just exhausted, I would do what I used to and watch as many horror movies in the dark as I could until I passed out on the couch. Instead I saved the best for last. 

Freddy Krueger is one of my all time favorite monsters. I say this but I must clarify that he is one of my favorite next generation monsters. The Universal Studio monsters are still classics but there are those that came after. Freddy Jason, Leatherface, and Michael Myers; these are what I consider the next generation of monsters. Nothing has really come since them and the original movies may be considered classics but there really hasn't been a good monster character boot up a new franchise. At least not one I know of, so if I'm wrong please let me know.

Ok so why do I think this is the best movie of this Netfilx list. Not only is Freddy Krueger one of the scariest monsters out there but this movie crosses the barrier of fiction to reality. I know what you are thinking, I have lost my mind because this is still a movie and a pure work of fiction. In this movie most of the original cast of A Nightmare on Elm Street is back but they are back as their real life selves. They show interviews and such and how these actors are living their lives after this movie masterpiece has been out and about. Freddy is starting to push through the lines of fiction and effect Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp which pulls Heather into the movie as Nancy once more.


This is the perfect Halloween movie and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun scare. I say fun scare because the first time you watch it it can have it's moments that can really get under your skin and push the goosebumps out, but it is still a campy horror comedy that is just a fun ride. Robert Englund is also the absolute best Freddy Krueger out there. He created the screen version of the character that set the rules and tone for the remake and any future remakes. No one will ever play the role as well as he did. This wasn't the last time he donned the makeup to bring Freddy to the screen but it was one of the last. 

I can't say how much I love this movie and it may not be the best horror movie out there but I rank it very highly. I was so glad to see this on the list so I had an excuse to watch this a review it here for Halloween Week. 5 out of 5 stars for this one. Happy Halloween.

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me.

If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri

I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further.
