Every A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Movie RANKED!

My name is Derek and I cover DC, Star Wars, Marvel, Horror, Anime, and other movies I like. We do news, reviews, rankings, breakdowns, and more! We are a small channel so liking the video really helps more than you know! Also make sure to subscribe for more content! In today's episode...We rank all 8 A Nightmare on Elm Street movies from worst to best in our own opinion. Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the best horror franchises of all time. Part of that reason is the titles star Freddy Krueger played by Robert Englund. Wes Craven is a legendary film maker who will forever be missed. Heather Langenkamp is one of the best "final girls" in all of horror whether it's in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street film, Dream Warriors, or New Nightmare, she is easily one of my favorite scream queens of all time. Now as much as I love this franchise, it's far from perfect. Now all film is subjective so one of my favorites is going to be one of your least favorites and vice versa but I hope we can atleast agree on a couple and have some fun talking about it in the comments below! Freddy Krueger (/ˈkruːɡər/) is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series. He was created by Wes Craven and made his debut in Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) as the malevolent spirit of a child killer who had been burned to death by his victims' parents after evading prison.[2] Krueger goes on to murder his victims in their dreams, causing their deaths in the real world as well. In the dream world, he is a powerful force and seemingly invulnerable. However, whenever Freddy is pulled back into the real world, he has normal human vulnerabilities and can be destroyed.[3] He is commonly identified by his burned, disfigured face, dirty red-and-green-striped sweater and brown fedora, and trademark metal-clawed, brown leather, right hand glove. This glove was the product of Krueger's own imagination, having welded the blades himself before using it to murder many of his victims, both in the real and dream worlds. Over the course of the film series, Freddy has battled several reoccurring survivors including Nancy Thompson and Alice Johnson.[4] The character was consistently portrayed by Robert Englund in the original film series as well as in the television spin-off Freddy's Nightmares. Englund has stated that he feels the character represents neglect, particularly that suffered by children. The character also more broadly represents subconscious fears. The character quickly became a pop culture icon[5] going on to appear in toy lines,[6] comic books,[7] books,[8] sneakers,[9] costumes,[10] and video games[11][12] since his debut. In 2003, Krueger appeared alongside fellow horror icon Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason. In 2010, a reboot of the original Nightmare on Elm Street film, starring Jackie Earle Haley, was released. Wizard magazine rated Freddy the 14th-greatest villain of all time;[13] the British television channel Sky2 listed him 8th,[14] and the American Film Institute ranked him 40th on its "AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains" list.[15] In 2010, Freddy was nominated for the award for Best Villain (formerly Most Vile Villain) at the Scream Awards.
