1. Robert Englund created the character. Made it into something...
...slightly more interesting than a mere psycho. Haven't seen Mr. Haley in the role, so maybe I shouldn't have voted, but c'mon. This is Englund's signature role.

11. To me, he'll always be Willy from "V"
Even if Englund created the character, he turned it into a preposterous, unfunny, and non-scary caricature of itself.


I think Haley could do a fine job with it.

2. Dead, gone, and buried in the junk yard. Damn that dog with the flaming piss.

3. I learned alot from Dream Warrior.
Although I think they should have won in that film, but it was a horror film, have to flip lots of that stuff.

And as a joke, not as a claim.
I like this concept as relating to Dream Warriors, much better then Nightmare Movie.

4. Like it matters. All the movies were half baked slasher wannabes anyways.

Give me a big monster any day. Preferably a big hulking one who breathes fire and leaves cities in ruins. ;)

6. I'll go with the original, but I can't say I ever noticed a difference.

8. Freddy Kreuger was James Bond, serial killer
Jason just hacked people up

For my horror, I prefer the simplicity of Jason Vorhees

9. What's that on his face?
It looks like that sticky string that you shoot out of a can.
(I have never seen a Freddy Kreuger movie, in case you couldn't guess.)

12. I am voting for Jackie Earle Haley
I loved him in Watchmen and I can see that kind of performance coming through for Freddy.

BTW, both of the above pictures are of Robert Englund...
