Hollywood has been on a re-boot streak as of late. No genre is immune and no character is too sacred. Yesterday was all about Michael Bay’s re-boot of the iconic Wes Craven franchise, A Nightmare On Elm Street. Coming for you, on April 30th, 2010. (Please read last statement in melodic nursery-rhyme tune.)
It’s been a while since I’ve seen any of the Nightmare films, but this looks scarier to me. The original always seemed a little campy (Horror movie? Campy? No way!). I feel the need to watch the original again. All 7 of them! In fact, I foresee a lot of Elm Street marathons between now and April.
Do you remember the first time you saw the movies? I was 13 years old and at a small sleepover with a friends. We watched all 7 of the movies over two nights!
