I thought this was an April day at school Joke but apparently there is talk of a Freddy Krueger television series or movie by Rob Zombie.

Fuck, I was just literally thinking about a sequel to the 2006 Prey game.
I'm still as hurt over that after all these years.

Nightmare on Elm Street is one horror movies I've ever seen and it represents everything I hate about 80's horror

Fun? Inventive scares? Fantastic and memorable villains? Strong female characters who grow and adapt? One liners?

Fun? I'm not watching a comedy. I want a sense of dread, terror and hopelessness

I was hoping for a decent prequel movie from Blumhouse or something. Robert Englund even gave his blessing to Kevin Bacon for being the next Freddy, and Kevin Bacon said “never say never”
now we got fuckin dj qualls and probably sheri moon zombie

The site you linked claims it’s fake.

Good thing the movies in the 80s also had that. You need to leverage light hearted with depressingly dark moments.

Possession and The Thing are in my all time Top 10. Fun, light hearted, camp just aren't for me when it comes to Horror.

For real. I thought some of his first movies showed a bit of promise, but he just got worse and worse over the last 20 years.Rob Zombie?

Again, you can have dark and depressing alongside some comedic moments. Nightmare, Evil Dead, Friday, etc. all do this perfectly.

I can't imagine a scenario in which this is good.

How many times have movies been rebooted? Thousands of times, I'd like to watch a Rob Zombie Scream, Hellraiser or at this point Freddy who is due for a comeback, today's audiences don't understand Freddy, the idea of a child predator who takes controls of your dreams is essentially no-go territory today with the way today it's woke.
I think the problem with NOES was a target for a reboot is we have what, 6, 7? Freddy films that vary pretty wildly in tone. This gives us a LOT of Freddy, which really detracts from a new "origin" film IMHO as the less we know of him, the scarier he is.
The original and most of the sequels were very much from the teen POV. It's about their struggles and their journey to defeat Freddy, not so much about the parents original sin against him (or street justice depending on what he did exactly) and certainly not much about trying to "justify" Freddy retroactively. He is a literal boogeyman, finding out the "rules" to defeat him is a large part of the charm of the early films, and the framework of the parents is far from the focus.
I don't know that Zombie would have the proper perspective. He goes "gross" pretty well but rarely horror IMHO, while Wes Craven strode both camps quite well.

DJ Qualls as Fred Krueger is certainly something I never thought would be something to materialize but here we are. He is talented but not sure he can pull it off. However, Robert Englund was mostly known for whimsical and light hearted characters before he became Freddy, so it could be that Qualls is coming up with something unexpected. Rob Zombie though isn't sitting well with me. House of a 1000 corpses and Devil's rejects are fun but his Halloween movies sucked ass. Will give it a watch anyway since I'm a huge Freddy Krueger fan. It can't be worse than the 2010 remake.
