This scene from Wes Craven’s NEW NIGHTMARE– a film I still say is one of the scariest and should have been the ‘end all ‘ of the Nightmare series..
The premise was genius.. The creative nature of the movie seemingly is under appreciated…
And Robert Englund, in this photo, looks all too comfortable with the new fitted glove.
I am actually not happy Freddy is coming back. Again.
It should be dead, It should have been dead last century..
Maybe I’m the only one who will dare to say that.
When I was a young pre-teen in the 1980s, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET part 3, the DREAM WARRIORS, sort of changed my conception of horror.. it became campy, silly and fun.. Yes, Freddy was a menacing creature, whose background was that of a child molester and killer, but somehow Robert Englund turned Wes Craven’s character into a charming and almost likeable trickster in the in the third NIGHTMARE…
Wes Craven tweeted an image tonight of what the new ghost face mask will look like..
It glows. it’s blue. It may be used for an upcoming MTV series..
Regardless of its use, the mask is certainly much different than the 1990s incarnation of the famous SCREAM painting..
Feedback has been critical.. divided. Some like. Some hate.
The white face of the original SCREAM series is iconic.. even today, kids on Halloween scout towns with the attire–most likely not even knowing how scary a scene with Drew Barrymore answering a giant portable phone was in the late 20th century..
This mask though?
I personally think it looks like a Dollar Store version of the original mask.. a bad replica.
Maybe just a bad photo..
TIME WILL TELL.
Tomorrow: The new GHOST FACE debuts at FUN WORLD.
According to Wes Craven..
