More 'Nightmares' To Be Made 'On Elm Street'

Freddy Krueger is the only horror movie villain that's ever given me nightmares. The irony is killing me. Though it used to be Freddy who did the killing.

I think I was seven or eight. It was a recurring dream: Freddy was always chasing me and he would always catch me before I could wake up. For weeks, I died every night after being sliced and diced by Freddy Krueger. It was incredibly frustrating. And...um...maybe a bit scary.

Finally, in an act of sleep-deprived, dream-driven desperation, I convinced myself -- in my dream -- that I would be able to defeat that scissor-fingered monster. It took many nights of arduous Boy vs. Freddy battles but, on one glorious night, I fought back. I fought hard. And I won. I killed that Krueger dead. I was jubilant, triumphant, and victorious.

And I never had the dream again.

Well, it appears that my nightmare may be returning. I just hope they can get Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince to do the soundtrack.

I wonder how many new Nightmares they're thinking of making? If Robert Englund is out, I think the franchise is history.
