this month I'm busy with

Stephen King's Needful Things
Wheel of Time Winter's Heart

Ah, I love Needful Things... such a terrific book!  I'm just starting Clive Barker's "The Scarlet Gospels".  It's been in my reading queue for (what seems forever) and I'm looking forward to reading it, finally.

A Nightmare on Elm Street / Re: Where would you have ended this series?

« on: June 21, 2022, 07:45:44 PM »

I love all of the sequels in their ways... but my vote is part 4 for several reasons (even though I love Freddy's Dead and New Nightmare): a.) Freddy and the series were at an all time high in pop culture then; b.) Story-wise, despite the hasty plotting and script writing, it introduced some form of closure to what the Nightmare series built upon and what the first four films presented, ending on a high note with empowerment and incorporating other themes Wes brought forth in the original; c.) the effects (at that time) were very creative and impactful; d.) then, our public consciousness wasn't so "Freddy flooded" and jaded; e.) It was the most successful performing Nightmare film... I could go on, but it would've been the best time to stop, IMHO.

I noticed the link to the forums from http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/fans/ points to http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/forums and not /forum. Probably keeping some users from finding the boards.

Oh, nice catch, CG!  Updated the link to the new forum.

A Nightmare on Elm Street / The Future of Elm Street

« on: May 04, 2020, 01:41:44 PM »

With the film rights of A Nightmare on Elm Street reverting to the late Wes Craven's estate, what should they do with those rights?  Several pitches have supposedly been made to the estate, but nothing concrete has been announced.  As a fan of the series, how should they proceed?
