Let's compare then.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors

1) Philip is turned into a marionette and walked up into the tower where Freddy was conceived, then the strings were cut and he fell to his death. No one liners or bad puns.

2) Freddy pops out of the top of the TV, grabs Jennifer, then says "This is it Jennifer! Your big break in TV! Welcome to prime time, b**ch!" Then he shoves her head into the TV.

3) Freddy disguises himself as the hot blonde nurse Joey has a crush on to lure him away from the others. Then as they're making out, Freddy's tongue flies from his mouth and ties Joey spread eagle to the bed frame, to which he says "What's the matter Joey? Feeling tongue tied?"

4) Freddy chases the cripple with a killer wheel chair. Then when the kid tries to use D&D magic to banish Freddy, he says "Sorry kid, I don't believe in fairy tales", then stabs him with his glove.

5) After a brief knife fight with the Taryn girl, Freddy turns his fingers into syringes and says "Let's get high". Then after he kills her by a drug overdose he says "What a rush".

6) Freddy's animated skeleton throws Nancy's dad through the air and impales him on the rear fin of an old automobile (I think it was a Cadillac). His skeleton then bashes Neil with a shovel and starts burying him alive.

7) Freddy impersonates Nancy's father in order to get close enough to kill her. When he reveals himself to actually be Freddy and stabs her in the gut, he says "Die b**ch!"

A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

1) Freddy stabs Kincaid in the gut after waking up in the junkyard. Kincaid says "I'll see you in Hell," to which Freddy responds "Tell them Freddy sent you."

2) Joey's dreaming about a naked girl swimming around in his water bed. Then Freddy pops up and says "Hey Joey! How's this for a wet dream!" then kills him, causing his body to somehow be trapped INSIDE the bladder of his water bed.

3) Kristen dreams herself to a beach where she believes she'll be safe from Freddy. Freddy uses his blades as the fin of a shark and goes right up to the sand castle which he causes to explode, revealing himself. Then as Kristen is being sucked down by quicksand, Freddy puts on a pair of shades before pushing her down. Then he kills her in the boiler room by throwing her into the burning furnace.

4) Freddy locks the class brain into her desk during an exam. Then he walks up to her and says "Wanna suck face?" before sucking the life out of her.

5) Freddy kills Alice's brother Rick by invisibly attacking him in a dojo, mocking him with taunts about how "A ninja warrior doesn't need to see his enemies to defeat them" and that "A ninja warrior must have balance."

6) As Alice is dreaming that she's in a diner, Freddy sits down next to her. "If the food here doesn't kill you, the service sure will" He's served a pizza with the souls of all his victims baked in as meatballs. "I just love soul food!" Stabs Alice's brother in the face. "Rick you little meatball!"

7) Freddy kills Debra by turning her into a cockroach, trapping her in a roach motel, and right before he crushes her he says "You can check in but you can't check out!"

8) When Alice's boyfriend is being sedated so he can be operated on, he dreams Freddy is in the operating room. He shouts "Krueger!" to which Freddy replies "Well it ain't Doctor Seus!"

There might be some more examples that I'm missing, but for the most part I think it's fairly obvious that Freddy was sliding far more to the side of silly in Part 4 than he was in Part 3.

Exactly, all of that is thoroughly ridiculous and exactly why I love the films. 3 is entirely in line with 4 and 5.
 
Rob Zombie posted a teaser for his next film, 31, on his website. It looked interesting, although I could done without the cheesy sound effects, haha. Regardless, I'll be catching it when it hits cinemas or BDs.
 
Yeah just saw the new Zombie video. I ended up really liking Lords of Salem. It's not as good as The Devil's Rejects, but I don't think Zombie is a bad director. He just botched the hell out of the Halloween remakes. I liked all his original stuff.
 
After reading up some of the troubles he had with Lords of Salem, I'm willing to give it another shot. The films of his I am not fond of are El Super Beasto and House of 1K. I enjoyed the comics that inspired El Super Beasto more than the film itself. I can see why people do not like his Halloween films, but I love the hell out of them, and consider them his best work. So, while I am disappointed the hockey film is on the backburner, I look forward to seeing 31.
 
El Superbeasto didn't really work for me. It felt like it was trying too damn hard to be filthy and funny. All the gags were forced.
 
I don't mind 'The Devil's Rejects', it's quite a decent movie.
 
What's everyones thoughts on the Evil Dead remake? I've got it here from LoveFilm ready to watch
 
I loved it.

The cast was excellent and the gore dial was cranked up where it should be.
 
the gore was definately on point. i remember it being extremely light on humor, though. don't expect Bruce Campbell.

As a huge fan of the originals and somebody who hated the idea of a remake?
I loved it.

In my opinion it shouldn't really be viewed with it being a remake in mind.
It has the same name and same basic idea,but they managed to do their own thing with it.

I liked it a lot, which was surprising since I really love the original and most remakes tend to be fairly bad.

Only problem I had wasn't the film's fault but all the *******s who did set reports that were saying how gory it was. Too much hype in that area. Yes, it had some damn great violence but a lot of people were making it sound far more violent than it really was. Must not have seen enough horror films...

That's flick was super meh to me. It's not awful, but it feels much longer than it is, and the character development really does nothing to make me like the main characters. I was more interested in hearing stories about the Father/messed up son then if any of them died. I rated it about a 5, its just middle of the road to me.

Just watched it.

I'm guessing it's going to be centered around Halloween(October 31st)?
If so,I'm sure the cheesy sound effects are intentionally cheesy.

Not sure if I should be excited or not...

Rob Zombie making another film does nothing for me, I think he's a terrible filmmaker

So much for his retirement. I guess he couldn't take his wife's acting career away from her.

You're missing the point. 4 out of the 7 deaths in Part 3 were campy or silly, and even then the jokes were kind of muted. Kinda funny, but very dark.

In Part 4, 7 out of the 8 kills were accompanied by some stupid one liner. So Part 4 was far sillier than Part 3. And for me, the sillier the movies got, the less I liked them. Which is why I stop watching after Part 3.
