Where he is now, I think he’s screaming for eternity in a nightmare greater than elm street.

Murder porn maestro.

A Nightmare succeeded in giving me the creeps, even in my early twenties.

You know something about him personally, or is it just because of the movies he made that you relegate his soul so?

Freddy was a great horror villain. And Scream 1 & 2 were wild. But the sequels were not so great.

His best films were “The Last House On The Left” and the original “The Hills Have Eyes”.

Scream 4 was filmed at the homes of my sister and her neighbor.
Straight to video.

My Daughter and Niece are good friends. One time she came to visit and brought two movies for them to watch. I ended up viewing them too.

One was Nightmare and the other was Salem’s Lot, I think that was the title. Both were pretty good and I usually don’t care for those type films.

They were good. One time when my daughter was a teen she had a sleepover and I rented all the “Nightmare on Elm Street” and we stayed up all night to watch.

Yeah, I was wondering too. I know he was a liberal and if he was pro abortion then he’s in trouble, but this thread is best used as a celebration of his movies, not where his soul ended up.

And only God gets to decide.

I liked Freddie vs. Jason.

I was looking at his fate from a Christian point of view. However, I do apologize because said it in an unchristian, unkind manner.

May he rest in peace.

Thanks. You may or may not be right about Wes, granted. But ultimately that's between Wes and God.
