As I was watching Nightmare on Elm Street again, the 2010 release, I was just sitting there smirking and anticipating everything that was going to happen. I just sat there and wondered when did Freddy not get scary anymore, is it when I actually grew up and realized he wasn’t real? Or is it when they just made him into a joke when he was fighting Jason? I watched the 1984 version and YES I did cover my eyes a couple times because 1984 Freddy I will not go to sleep because he attacks in your dreams but 2010 Freddy I think he is a joke (obviously I wouldn’t think he was a joke if he popped up in my dreams.) 1,2.Freddy’s Coming for You!3,4,Better Lock Your Door!5,6.Grab Your Crucifix!7,8.Better Stay Up Late!Nine,Ten.Never.Sleep Again!

Child’s Play just made me hate dolls, I hated any type of dolls because I would think they would just wake up, start talking and want to kill me. Chucky had to be the definition of a killer child’s toy back in the day. Then they came out with the Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky that really made him less of a scary doll and a joke.

Candyman was really a scary character, say his name 3 times in the mirror and he would come and kill you. It got to the point me and my friends would always dare each other to say it when we were younger see who wasn’t a punk but of course none of us would say it. Then there were the sequels then we stopped being scared and I will gladly say his name 3 times in the mirror before I get scared.

As you can see a lot of the old school scary guys are not scary anymore because they had horrible sequels that made them into jokes. Jason, Michael Myers, Dude from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre . . . I will out run them all (As we all know this is impossible the faster you run the quicker they catch you so you might as well walk at their pace). “IT” that stupid clown I hated with a passion, it made me hate clowns for awhile.

The movies I’ve failed to mention are The Exorcist, The Omen , Some Zombie movies because I feel as though these type of movies I will watch and I will still jump out of my seat, it’s got to be a world ending thing now for everyone to be scared of. 28 days later & 28 weeks later changed up the whole scary movie thing . . . . zombie’s can run now?? Who made this rule up? Who allowed you to change the rule book? This change your perspective on how things change when one director adds something new to something that has been slow moving since “Night of the Living Dead” (1968)

Are there really any scary movies anymore?? YES AND NO because something that might scare you might not scare someone else
