The most important rule to remember in a scary movie is to never trust that your boyfriend will actually do what you tell him and stay awake to protect you. Instead, he will inevitably fall asleep and either let you die or die himself. And if that boyfriend is an adorable, baby\u00c2\u00a0Johnny Depp<\/a>, he will explode in a spray of blood all over the ceiling and walls. Which is actually pretty awesome when you think about how everyone else in this movie dies.<\/p>\n

A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/a> (iTunes<\/a>) is yet another 80s horror flick that focuses more on bizarre rather than truly scary moments. Episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/a> are often more terrifying than most 80s horror movies.<\/p>\n

Elm Street<\/em>, however, still has an iconic villain that is synonymous with horror: Freddy Krueger. Where Friday the 13th<\/em> was generic and terrible, Elm Street<\/em> was original and entertaining. Not scary, but fun to watch. Robert Englund’s<\/a> Krueger is an excellent villain and he is so much fun to watch. I’m now interested in watching the entire series. I’ll probably watch all of the Jason films, as well, just so I can properly enjoy Freddy vs. Jason<\/em>, even though I don’t feel confident that any of his films get better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
