Warning this is going to be the longest entry in the series. After I explained why down below I want people to realize. I really do know the three slashers quite well. Some could argue I didn't have to do some of this. I personally felt this would drive home my point how much these characters meant to me. Today all three of them are major inspirations for several newer horror franchises in some form.
I do want to point some stuff out. For Michael Myers, I think doing a separate timeline view would work better than combining them all together. I will also try to keep Myers interesting to prevent getting a lot of the same stuff said a few times. Officially I also could do their remake versions since I'm going out my way to do this as well.
There's a lot of horror movies adding these three horror movie franchises together. What's even crazier is all three of them now in Dead by Daylight. This is going to be among my most ambitious entries to date. Hopefully among my very best in the series. People who read some of my blogs knows I'm a huge Freddy fan being my favorite slasher villain ever!!!
Three iconic slashers that forever changed the world of horror. Despite two of them being a little similar do differ in a few ways. To clarify no this isn't the end of the series. I been considering to write this particular entry for a little while. I felt a lot of people could be interested in what I had to say. I will give my full analyze perceptive of the three slashers here.
Michael Myers
Timeline #1
Halloween (1978 film)
Halloween 2 (1981 film)
Halloween: H20: 20 Years Later
Halloween: Resurrection
Michael started attacking his own family at a young age on Halloween. He gotten committed to a hospital under the care of Dr. Loomis. Myers spent a lot of years never once spoke a word. During one night, Myers escaped heading back to his hometown. Just in time for Halloween, he starts going after teenagers.
His main target being among the group was named Laurie Strode. He attempted to kill her to only gotten shot a few times by Dr. Loomis. Of course, Myers escaped shortly afterwards. Unfortunately for some of the characters Myers wasn't done that Halloween night. Laurie was currently being treated at a local hospital.
Myers continue slaughtering people while searching for her. This is also the entry we found out the two were siblings. Personally having the killer going after his own family was a bit silly to me. As it turns out Jamie Lee Curtis who played Strode felt the same. Dr. Loomis does stop Myers with an explosion. Originally this was meant to be the end of Michael Myers.
They were going to change out themes with each newer entry while taking place on Halloween. Which is why Halloween 3: Season of the Witch has virtually nothing to do with the rest of the franchise. They had a huge problem the audience wanted more Myers. Shortly after Halloween 3, they went back to Myers.
Continuing into this timeline we have Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Which actually happened twenty years following the events of the first two Halloween movies. By this point, Laurie tried to keep living a normal life. Inevitably Myers came back to finish things with her. Strode has a son named John that works for Hillcrest Academy.
Which is a private boarding school Strode among the staff. Her son being among the many students attending there. I know some people had some mixed receptions to this Halloween movie. I always enjoyed rewatching this entry myself. I also should point out Strode faked her death then changed her name to hid from Myers.
Strode was convince she needed to make sure Myers not coming back. Unknowing to her, a paramedic with his throat crushed was forced to dress up as Myers. Which led to Strode beheading the poor guy. This led to her becoming a patient at a different kind of hospital. Strode knew after she found out she didn't end Myers.
Michael was coming back for her. Of course, he did come back to end her early on Halloween: Resurrection. Before I continue this is among the hardest entries to take seriously. For anyone who haven't seen this Halloween movie. We found a new group of people that agreed to be live streamed in a show.
Which so happened to be taking place in Myers' house. Most of them ended up dead with those watching from a party. Sara's boyfriend was attending decided to help the remaining survivors through technology. To be honest this felt more like an Scream movie than an actual Halloween one. Also get use to seeing live streams from multiple cameras.
This does predate Scream 4 with a murder that happened during someone's live stream. Ghostface didn't do that until nine years later. Myers gets horribly burnt to somehow survived. There does exist an alternate ending Sara would've killed off Myers. Stuff like this movie companies avoided making the canon endings for years.
Timeline #2
Halloween (1978 film)
Halloween 2 (1981 film)
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Skipping to Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Myers survived at the end of Halloween 2. He was in a coma for a couple years until he finally woke up. He makes his way back into his home town. This time a new main target being a little girl named Jamie Lloyd. I also wanted to say Halloween 4 among my favorite entries in the franchise.
It turns out she was the daughter of Laurie Strode. Unfortunately Strode died in a car accident. Myers killed a couple people while searching for his niece. Once again he and Strode are siblings in this timeline. Eventually he found Jamie to attempt killing her. Dr. Loomis was hot on his trail trying to stop him.
Unexpectedly a lot of people tried to get Jamie to safety. Myers was taking some of them out forcing the vehicle to stop. More of them shows up with guns firing at Myers. This caused him to fall down a hole assuming he died afterwards. A stranger saved Myers to end up dead as well. By this point, Jamie was not only tragicize.
She had an unusual connection with her uncle similar to Pumpkin Head. The demon people made contracts to get revenge but feels everything the demon done to people. This is quite similar to that concept except Jamie can't properly speak. Dr. Loomis being more desperate to stop Myers kept over stepping his boundaries.
Myers does get defeated to be locked up in a jail cell. This is where the timeline goes to crap for the remainder. A mysterious man goes gun blazing to rescue Myers. By now, a few horror movies has a famous go inside a police station then take most of them out. Maniac Cop 2 I felt had a better take on that concept.
This is also where things gets weird since there exists two versions of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. This was because the director and one of the producers really wanted their versions to happen. The director's version was the officially released version. Some people found pirate copies of the Producer's Cut of the movie.
Some of the same stuff happens regardless which version you watched? Jamie being grown up is pregnant about to give birth. In the director's version, it didn't confirm who the father was? Unfortunately in the producer's version, it was revealed to be Myers who raped her!!! Yes you heard that correctly this felt out of his character.
Even Dr. Loomis confirmed Myers being pure evil with no signs of love. Yet somehow a cult convinced Myers to do that bags a lot of questions with not enough answers. In both versions, Myers killed his niece. Her baby now being protected by a few people including a now grown up Tommy Doyle. As in one of the kids Strode baby sat in the original Halloween movie.
The leader of this cult was revealed to be the guy who rescued Myers. Dr. Loomis wasn't as involved due to the actor not in good health during production. Myers gets defeated to escape afterwards. They also do this stupid supernatural connection thing with a symbol on Myers' wrist. In the producer's cut, Myers died while Dr. Loomis became his successor.
Yeah the same version, Tommy placed rocks the opposite direction of the symbol. Myers couldn't walk pass it is among the stupidest things I ever heard!!! It's safe to say not everyone was on the same page. This barely felt like an actual Halloween movie with a cult involved. I always hated the story both versions myself.
Timeline #3
Halloween (1978 film)
Halloween (2018 film)
Halloween Kills
Halloween Ends
Skipped to Halloween (2018 film). It was revealed that Halloween night, Myers was committed to a hospital. He's been there for forty years in this newer timeline. A new doctor replaced Dr. Loomis took care of Myers. He also played an hand in his escape. I also glad to say he's no longer related to Laurie Strode!!!
Strode was preparing for Myers to eventually return. This version of the character is the over prepared crazy old women that doesn't leave anything to chance. Her daughter comes around with her daughter during the events of the movie. Myers does kill a lot of people while searching for Strode. She was able to save her family while nearly taken out Myers in a well placed trap.
The house had a fire trap in the basement with most ways to get out locked. I simply loved this one shot Myers looked at her as he gets engulfed by flames. Of course, you knew Myers would find a way to survive. This led to a controversial kill scene upsetting many real life fire fighters. Myers killed a couple of them among leaving the burning house.
At one point, an angry mob led by Tommy Doyle attempted to take out Myers. This time Doyle does not survive. Myers also killed Laurie's daughter Karen in a surprise attack. Myers escapes once again from the Strodes. In a weaken state, Myers passed the torch to Corey Cunningham.
The two killers slayed a lot of people until they turned on each other. I really couldn't help this felt more like an unofficial Christine remake than an Halloween movie. Especially both films having a movie with the same last name Cunningham. Both of them gets dangerously close with the monsters in those films.
Inevitably the final battle against Strode happened. They actually allowed Myers to die in the canon ending of the movie. Strode showed his corpse before his body gets ripped apart by a machine. I felt this was the most consistent timeline with the only one to properly end.
Despite that the actual ending sucks!!! Too much of Halloween Ends focused on Cunningham being in a relationship with Strode's granddaughter. For once, Myers wasn't fun to watch as he slayed people. The entire final entry was a massive disappointment. I highly recommend avoid watching it at all costs!!!
Remake Timeline
Halloween (2007 film)
Halloween 2 (2009 film)
This is Rob Zombie's take on the franchise. We start from Myers' childhood not being pleasant. Some stuff you expected to happen still do. He also killed another family member before getting committed to a hospital. Yes he gets taken care of by Dr. Loomis. Until he no longer do so while a few staff members over stepped their boundaries.
In this version, his mother Deborah often visited him. During her last visit her son killed a nurse. She decided to end her life with suicide. She also was played by Zombie's wife Sheri Moon. In majority of his horror movies, she played characters in them. Personally that wasn't the role I expected to see her played.
In the unrated version of the movie, Zombie added in a controversial rape scene. Which was very unnecessary especially being in Myers' room. No surprise to anyone the moment they started touching his masks. Myers goes on a rampage killing a few staff members while escaping.
He does return back to his home town to go after a group of teenagers. Yes Strode is Michael's sister in the movie. Myers continue his murder strake while searching for her. The sheriff does what he can to keep people safe. Dr. Loomis now a selfish prick than being the hero from the other timelines.
Myers does get defeated to survive the night. He goes after Laurie after in the following Halloween movie. He gets fully unmasked then says his one line before getting killed by a group of guys with guns. This very moment broken a few essentials about the character. When he died, his sister became his sister seeing their dead mother again.
Zombie had huge restrictions following his first Halloween movie. He originally had a more unique perceptive direction for Laurie in the sequel. Instead what he ended up giving the fans is among the most forgettable Halloween movies ever made!!! I also don't recommend watching this Halloween movie.
Michael's analyze
I went out of my way to give a quick run down of every timeline Myers in. Myers is a silent killer with virtually no emotions. Dr. Loomis described looked into his eyes. To him was nothing but pure evil stared back at him. It's not clear why Michael was always this way deep down or something happened? What we do know is he will not stop until he gets his targets or possibly die trying.
This franchise dislikes the idea of killing off Myers. A huge chance being over replacing Myers with the canned Halloween direction. Which would've been a different Halloween story in each newer entries. Myers is a very stealthy, smart killer that can easily get the drop on people. Even in pain he doesn't make much noise.
For the most part doesn't hesitate killing people especially members of his family. We have a true monster that barely kills kids with one notable exception in Halloween (2018 film). He dislikes people going inside his house. Myers is the perfect slasher for the classic slasher slasher. It took one positive review to forever changed the reception of the original Halloween movie.
Yes originally that horror movie kept getting negative reviews like several John Carpenter films. Overtime, people came to realize the director was truly ahead of his time. Halloween was clear proof of that that modernize a few aspects to help it stand out from the rest. Myers actually wore a modified William Shatner mask in the original Halloween movie.
There's just something unsettling about a pale white face or mask. Myers can be around the corner to get you without warning. He is like the apex predator inevitably you're going to die against him. Myers may not have a consistent horror movie franchise. People simply can't get enough of the character. Some timelines had questionable aspects that took away from Myers.
I will say Myers is among the best horror icons that started from the late 70s I seen. He also was direct inspiration for Jason Voorhees. He easily could use anything as a weapon. Even a questionable ways like a gun used to impale one of his victims despite no blade on the gun. Myers is stronger than a normal person to easily lift full grown adults a little distance off the ground.
His signature weapon is a butcher's knife. Many actors portrayed the character with not many played Myers more than a movie. The concept of a masked slasher terrorizing on Halloween night was revolutionary at the time. They heavily played off if Myers could be killed or not factor. The lucky ones were a few people either he walked pass or ends up stealing vehicles from.
This man only wants to kill that's it. His entire determination of his existence for that matter. He's so cut off from his emotions making him a true monster. The character became essential to everything horror. Myers was the beginning of the true golden age of several horror genres. It took a long time for the genre to become mainstream as it is today.
We owe a good amount of that to Myers. He simply works too well for the concept. A mysterious masked man terrorizing people on Halloween. Not many people aware of his presence with fewer knowing who he is. In the earlier entries while some of the later ones people knows a great deal about him.
Myers became one of many symbols how to properly do an slasher horror movie franchise. Obviously it's far from perfect in a lot of ways. He quickly became one of the biggest names among slasher villains. Myers is the perfect stealth killing machine. Dr. Loomis tried to be the light to his darkness. Although in the new timeline Strode viewed her as the light to Myers' darkness.
Strode always been Myers' greatest enemy regardless of the timelines. Myers can figure out to get around well armed locations with ease. Despite having no training of any kind within any of the timelines whatsoever!!! This man has among the highest confirmed body counts in history of horror films.
Jason Voorhees
Jason was a disfigured child that kept getting picked on by the other children. He couldn't swim at the time quickly becoming the popular belief Voorhees died. It was later revealed he actually survived from being drowned. After he learned one of the counselors killed his mother. He quickly gotten even with the woman afterwards.
Keep in mind, he actually started with a sack bag on his head before any hockey masks. Voorhees continued what his mother started by stalking anyone that came to any section of Crystal Lake. Some started to view him as a urban myth. Jason was determined to kill any trespassers he finds. He especially dislikes couples having or at least attempting to having sex.
This was largely due to whoever supposed to kept watching. The day he supposedly drowned was having sex at the time. Yeah you are suppose to be keeping an eye on children. Jason eventually gets killed off by a young child named Tommy Jarvis. Which played inside Jarvis' own insanity at the time. This caused a short gap with an imposter disguised as Jason killing people.
Then following that event, Jarvis with an friend visited a graveyard where Voorhees was buried. Jarvis wanted to make sure it was over. Indirectly he caused the killer to come back to life as an undead slasher. Among his first victims was his friend that came with him. Jarvis with help was able to stop Voorhees while being under the water.
This is where things gets weirder with the character. Some of which is a bit ridiculous any of it happened. In Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood had the character take on a new group. Among them was a young lady who had telekinesis. Which is why this particular entry gets the name Jason vs Carrie respectively.
Among my favorite looks for the character as well. In Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan barely had New York at all!!! A good amount of the events took place on a cruise ship heading to New York. You probably wouldn't believe the regular process of sewers took Voorhees out!!! At a particular set time, the sewers unleashed a lot of contained water.
Easily the weirdest entry was Jason Goes to Hell!!! When New Line Cinema took over the franchise from Paramount. Jason gets blown up to somehow survived. A doctor gets manipulated into eating his heart to get possessed by Voorhees. This started Jason swapping out bodies while terrorizing his own family.
All of a sudden, Voorhees became another Myers? He also taking in souls like Freddy Krueger? New Line Cinema owned Freddy prior to Jason but still a weird change to Jason's character. Eventually Voorhees possessed a deceased family member's body to fully revive himself. This twist was strangely similar to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child funny enough.
Where Freddy was possessing Alice's unborn child with the plan to take over his body. Freddy wasn't fully back yet somehow found a way to keep killing people. Prior to that was A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge where he possessed a teenager named Jessie manipulating him to kill people.
Jason gets sent to Hell which was strangely similar to how Freddy gotten defeated in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Timeline wise Freddy vs. Jason was next. I won't go too much into Freddy since that'll be done in his section. I still have to mention him to a degree though. Freddy tricked Jason coming back to life to terrorize teenagers on Elm Street.
After Jason killed two among many people he killed at a party that's held outside nearby a farm. Freddy possessed a member of the group to drugged Voorhees going to sleep. This is where the two killers face each other for the first time. Freddy discovered Jason afraid of water quickly losing against him. We get to see a glimpse of his childhood while Freddy nearby having sex with a corpse recreating that event.
Jason ends up waking up in the real life that caused a car accident. Voorhees runs into Krueger again inside a small building easily dominating the dream demon. Not long afterwards, they fight one more time really tried to kill each other. Some members of the group intervene by causing an explosion. Which sent both killers into the water.
Jason gave Krueger his arm with the famous claw glove back in a rather painful matter. Before he sank into the water allowing Krueger to be killed or that's the assumption. Jason walks out of the water carrying Krueger's head confirming Freddy not dead before the movie ends. Now I got talk to about Jason X a very out of place movie.
Currently at the end of the original Friday the 13th movie timeline. Jason kept surviving executions with one woman named Rowan frozen along with him. A huge time skip in the distant future occurs. A crew for a spaceship taken both of them onto the ship. Jason slaughters majority of the people onboard that ship.
One particular murder caused an accident wiping out an entire space colony!!! Yes this actually happened in the movie. An android named Kay-Em destroyed a good amount of Voorhees' body. Unfortunately, he landed on a damaged machine that repairs sped up healing or replaced damaged tissue.
The later transformed Voorhees in Uber Jason whose an even deadlier cyborg. Easily taking out Kay-Em who was previously upgraded to deal with the killer. A member of the team forces Jason down to Earth 2 since Earth 1 became inhabitable. The ending was an unresolved cliffhanger. Honestly, they didn't properly understand the character it showed!!!
Remake Timeline
We skipped his mother going straight into her son stalking people. There isn't much else to say then an handful of things that wasn't done prior. This version of the character uses traps to a degree. Despite a different movie company Platinum Dunes made a few remakes with Jason and Freddy never planned to do a crossover.
Easily one of the best looking Jason looks in a movie to date. Jason doesn't usually kidnap people while this version does. At least they understood his character better than New Line Cinema. I actually felt Jason gotten the best remake among the Three Slashers!!! I do recommend checking out that Friday the 13th movie.
Jason's analyze
Jason started as a human killing people who visited several locations around Crystal Lake. He ended up being more reckless, brutal killing machine. He really doesn't like any couples having sex. In fact, these couples gets worst ends to life than separately. Jason also believes from beyond the grave his mother still talking to him.
Strongly believing what he's done is right. Jason for the most part doesn't speak but at times groans to pain. In some of these movies, he really take a lot of punishment. Things only gotten worst when Jarvis indirectly brought him back to life. Now he wasn't human anymore that's notably stronger. Somehow gain regeneration allowing him to continue pursing people.
Jason barely befriend anyone except for Lori in Freddy vs. Jason movie. Despite his fear of water, he can still go after people. Jason can use whatever he could find as a weapon. His signature weapon being an machete. He once sliced through three people at once with a single slash. He is a lot stronger than a normal person to the point it's a bit difficult to take seriously.
For example, he quickly grabbed an man's arm threw him that pulled his arm off flying face front into a tree. Yes this actually happened in one of the Friday the 13th movies. Jason will never stop until he finishes killing everyone or he gets stopped. Considering he kept coming tanking a ridiculous amount of damages yeah that's a rather difficult task.
Jason knows his way around the lake. Surprisingly he's almost as stealthy as Myers. You can tell he walks notably harder in comparison. If you see this guy in the forest you better run the hell away!!! Voorhees is evil to a degree but not as evil as the other slashers making up the three slashers. This was proven late into Freddy vs. Jason movie.
Jason made hockey masks a huge success when they were out of style prior. Voorhees is among the biggest names in slasher genre. Jason is like Myers on steroids I'm dead serious!!! Voorhees is a monster that acts more of a guard dog than anything else. Don't visit any location surrounding Crystal Lake you'll be fine.
Freddy Krueger
Freddy Krueger worked at a facility that secretly terrorized children. Which does connected to his rather mess up childhood. He was previously arrested for those missing children. Unfortunately the warrant wasn't signed leading to the judge letting Krueger go. Which pissed a lot of parents off to literately taken justice into their own hands.
They caused a fire at the factory he was working at. Unknown to the parents, Krueger accepted a deal with the dream demons. He does die but he gets transformed into whatever nightmares made out of. Krueger became an undead killer that spiritually and mentally attacks his victims. Essentially in a plain of existence their parents can't protect them inside the dream world.
Krueger can easily manipulate whatever he wants inside the dream world. He kept exploiting his victims fears. Occasionally he does mess around with some of his victims for his own amusement. He targets a group of teenagers including Nancy. Who ended up becoming the fist person to beat him. In a rather unusual matter that indirectly caused her mother to die again.
In A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, he possessed Jessie into killing people. This was as distant from the concept Wes Craven started as possible!!! His girl friend Jessica helped Jessie to fight back against Krueger. Which led to a rather mess up ending involving the school bus. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, the last of the Elm Street teens are committed at a hospital.
Krueger continuing killing a lot of them while being treated there. This is also the movie to introduce some survivors could discover their dream powers to fight back against Krueger. Ultimately Nancy's dad gets forced by a staff member whose a doctor to finding Krueger's remains. Krueger tried to stop his baptism through reanimating his skeleton.
The doctor survived the attack to finish the process putting Krueger's soul to rest. in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Krueger gets revived by a dog's pissing where his remains are. This actually started as a joke that quickly ended up in the movie. Krueger finished what he started with the last group before moving on to the new group.
Kristen before she died gave Alice her dream powers. Literately most victims in the movie ended up doing the same. Now Alice being a composite dream warrior becoming the closest thing to Krueger's light to his darkness. She caused Krueger to lose control over his souls killing him. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Krueger possessing Alice's unborn child.
A weird loop hole allowing him to kill while not being completely back. This led to the child giving Krueger those souls forcing him out. The soul of his mother, Amanda taken Krueger forcing taking over her body. In Freddys Dead: The Final Nightmare, Freddy targets a new group of teens. Who were accompanied by his daughter not grown up under a different name.
Krueger uses another loop hole to continue killing outside his usual neighbor hood through his daughter. She ends up getting inside his mind seeing parts of his mind. This revealed he had an abusive step father. We even get to see his wife before he murdered her. She found out his terrible secret about the children.
This led to their daughter taken into custody. Which also played in how Krueger targeted a lot of his victims in the earlier entries. Krueger gets pulled into the real world. He gets killed off by his daughter that originally was going to be the end. Officially the next one in the timeline was Freddy vs. Jason. Which is currently the most recent among the classic Freddy timeline movies.
Krueger disguised as Jason's mother in a dream convinced Voorhees to go to Elm Street. His actual intentions was with Jason's help getting people afraid. He could come back terrorizing the teens of Elm Street. Unfortunately when Jason killed a victim he was about to kill himself. This deeply pissed Krueger off that led to the killer possessing a member of the group.
He drugged Jason to go to sleep to confront him in the dream world. Jason does put up a good fight against him. Until Krueger found out Jason afraid of water. Being the sick bastard he is heavily exposes using his fear of water. We also get to see a glimpse of Jason's childhood. Then Voorhees woke up that caused a car accident.
Krueger gets upset towards Lori to start going after her again. He finally reveals what really happened to her mother? Krueger killed her while her dad tried to protect her from the truth. Her boyfriend also witness a part of from the window. The two killers starts fighting in the real world a few times. Lori with Will's help caused an explosion sending the two killers into the water.
Things were looking bad for the last two members of the group. Until Voorhees forced Krueger's claw glove arm through him. Lori ends up with Jason's machete cutting Krueger's head off. This led to Jason walking out the water carrying his head. There's an alternate, disgusting ending where Lori having sex with Will.
Then Will ended up being Krueger with her stomach started to get bigger. There also was a scrapped ending with Pinhead interrupting the two killers fighting each other. Krueger around the fifth movie started to kill fewer people as the movies continued on. Honestly, it's a little of a mess for a horror movie franchise that still enjoyed a lot.
Remake Timeline
There isn't many notable changes except Krueger was made more of a pedophile. Instead of working at a factory, he used to be the groundskeeper of a school. It later gets revealed majority of his victims were former students of that school including Nancy. A good amount of the story is a bit similar to the original movie.
Krueger's goal was to cause Nancy to end up in a coma so they could be together forever. Which is rather mess up of a concept!!! Her boyfriend Quentin ends up being the hero in the movie. In a dream, virtually the same thing happened with the parents. Except Krueger ran outside the building on fire screaming.
I am not a huge fan of this remake. It tried to recreate some classic moments done horribly. The few changes to the story in all honestly wasn't great either. They somehow made Nancy into one of the worst characters in the franchise. Yes I know both versions had different last names that's not the point. The point is people came to see Nancy fighting Krueger not her boyfriend doing that.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare Timeline
This is actually one of my favorite spin off horror movies I ever seen!!! In a way it's a precursor to the original Scream since Wes Craven was involved with both films. This was a rather unique take on the concept. Parts of the concept were originally intended for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3. In the real world, Heather Thompson who played Nancy in two of the movies being stalked.
Some unexpected actions of her son had ties to this slasher. Freddy was killed off in Freddy's Dead. Yet somehow his dark side escaped into the real world like The Dark Half by Stephen King funny enough. Heather starts to notice parts of reality being more like A Nightmare on Elm Street movies. A darker Krueger that doesn't mess around.
Easily among my favorite looks for the character hands down. In the end, Craven came up with a rather unusual plan to stop Krueger. He convinced Heather to play Nancy one last time. The final showdown takes place in the dream world. Along with her son stopped Krueger that led with a complete script. This was a little more than a decade from Seed of Chucky parodying the concept as well as the genre.
Freddy's analyze
Freddy is easily the most evil among the three slashers. Even with Myers being described as being pure evil. Whose evil simply because he chose to be or timelines with the stupid curse thing. Krueger had a rough childhood with a step father. He was the child of an hundred maniacs as revealed in the fifth movie.
Krueger is the most willing to cross lines. In the dream world he directly exposes his victims fears while enjoying every minute of it. He is essentially a deity capable of doing whatever he wants. Anything you possibly know may not be what it seems there. Unlike the previous slasher villains that came before him.
Freddy often speaks saying one liners as well as doing some jokes. A particular alternative variation of the claw glove gotten sued by Nintendo yeah it happened!!! Krueger is a true monster at what he does to people. He is willing to use some of his victims against some of his newer preys. Krueger being a rather creative killer can shape shift into people, objects or a motorcycle.
He easily can bend the rules of reality like Alice gotten sucked into a movie playing at a move theater. He also had Spencer include a video game while terrorizing him. He even transformed Mark into paper while cutting him to pieces literately. In the dream world he could gain any advantages he wants. But in the real world, it's debatable how many of his powers he has?
Not only that, we do know he can be killed in the real world. Krueger had to get creative to come back partially through people to continue his murder streak. He will never rest until everyone in a group is dead or he gets stopped. His signature weapon is his claw glove he wore on his right hand. In the dream world, you are essentially taking on yourself through Krueger.
Freddy being a truly sick bastard he is. He hates when someone taunts or making front of him. He especially dislikes Jason Voorhees following the events of Freddy vs. Jason. Krueger is a scary potential slasher that can easily get in anywhere. There's little to no way to truly protect yourself from him when you're asleep.
Krueger is easily among the scariest slashers I ever heard of!!! Also among the most creative as well including Chucky. Freddy is among the biggest names in the slasher genre. At the time of the original movie, the world never experienced anything like it before. The late Wes Craven created a rather unique, refreshing take on the slasher genre.
Unfortunately Craven struggled to control the franchise because of an executive producer. Despite things, Krueger quickly became a timeless villain character. Krueger still inspiring a lot of newer horror franchises. I really felt the world would've been vastly different without the character. Krueger helped made slasher horror movie franchises stand out!!!
Conclusion
The three slashers has rather inconsistent horror movie franchises. But majority of their kill scenes are quite decent. All three of them were an unique take on the slasher genre especially Freddy. They were a huge reason why the horror genre became so big!!! Not only that, the world really can't get enough of these characters either.
I know Jason Universe is trying to get a movie to happen soon. Just don't expect to see Friday the 13th in the title. It would be nice for Voorhees to fully came back. I been wondering when Krueger going to return myself? I'm actually a bigger fan of Myers over Voorhees. To me, some aspects of his characters interest me more.
Also some of his enemies being more interesting as well. To be fair, Jason has some amazing kill scenes. I just find a guy in a hockey mask a bit scarier than a pale white mask. I also confirm I'm a bigger Ghostface fan than Myers as well. Krueger easily steals the show for me. He really could do so many things neither Myers or Voorhees could do.
If it's not obvious Krueger has the most interesting personality among the three. He truly is whatever nightmares made out of. This always make the character much scarier than the other two slasher villains. Also Robert Englund truly brought Krueger to life. Krueger was really ahead of his time with the concept.
