It was announced last week that MTV is developing on a TV series based on the mid-90s slasher genre spoof Scream. No doubt being bombarded with questions from fans, the movie's creator and director spoke out on Twitter last night about his involvement:
"A lot of you have asked about the Scream TV series. It's true I've been approached. My response was, it would depend on the script. If they have a great script/concept, it could be fun. If not, not."
Pretty straight forward then - but this is usually Mr Craven's response whenever asked about returning to the franchise.
Scream rejuvenated the dying slasher genre in 1995 by pointing out all of the clichés while still taking itself seriously. It was a novel 'self aware' concept that Craven had previously tried with his Nightmare on Elm Street series in Wes Craven's New Nightmare. The movie spawned two more »

The horror genre hasn’t exactly been the breeding ground of great sequels over the years. It’s a quantity over quality situation; studios know that they can make an easy profit by making cheap follow-ups to never ending franchises, so less and less thought goes into the sequels as the series goes on. The logic is actually (sadly) sound, as many low quality horror sequels reap enough financial revenue to justify their existence, at least to the studios.
But once in a while we get a horror sequel that isn’t completely braindead. A film that isn’t just going through the motions, but actually has something to say and do that’s original and exciting. Sometimes they branch off of straight horror into other genres; other times they take a new spin or approach to traditional genre structure. They don’t come around often, but when they do, »

“How sweet, fresh meat.”
When I think of Freddy, the first thing that comes to mind is this line from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. After that, a cascade of one-liners begins to ripple through my brain.
“Welcome to prime time, bitch.” – A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
“Told you comic books was bad for ya!” – Dream Child
“Now be a good little doggy and go fetch!” – Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare
The list goes on. Freddy was funny. I had the full Freddy mask on Halloween. This dream demon wasn’t just a killer; he was also one cool-ass comedian.
But if I dig deep, past the dark recesses of my cobwebbed brain, I can’t help but remember a darker Freddy. There was a time when Freddy gave me nightmares – made me afraid to venture into my basement or any other. »

Chicago – Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Freddy Krueger. Yes, Wes Craven’s masterful creation deserves to be listed right along with the most legendary villains of all time, a case made complete by Warner’s excellent new “A Nightmare on Elm Street Collection,” featuring all 7 original films and a new half-hour documentary about the lasting power of the man with a claw for a hand.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Admittedly, there’s little new in this set for those of you who sprung for the previous Blu-ray editions of the first three films that were released over the last few years. This is more for those who haven’t yet picked up any of the Freddy saga and now want them all. And while the first and last (“Wes Craven’s New Nightmare”) are the only truly great films in the set, there are things to like about all of the movies (Ok, all »

Freddy Kruger continues to win out over both Jason and Michael Myers as the most popular slasher of all time. We can debate that forever as there is no shortage of passionate fans of Friday the 13th and Halloween but for some reason the wise cracking invader of dreams continues to come out on top. With 7 Nightmare films arriving in one BluRay collection from the original that started it all to Wes Cravens New Nightmare Freddy fans are sure to get their needed fix. »

We all know who played Freddy Krueger, and it’s pretty much common knowledge that Wes Craven created the series, but what about the lesser known facts about one of the biggest horror franchises of all time? We thought it would be fun to go over some of those, so with that, here are Ten Things You Didnt Know About A Nightmare On Elm Street!
1- Nancy Wasn’T An Only Child in A Nightmare On Elm Street
Featured in the Elite Laserdisc for A Nightmare On Elm Street, this deleted scene featured a more fleshed out reason for the parents of Elm Street to have torched Freddy, as it’s revealed that Krueger had previously killed brothers and sisters of Nancy, Glen, Tina and Rod before getting murdered by the parents.
2- Freddy Was Almost Responsible For Oozing Ninja Turtles in A Nightmare On Elm Street

In the market for a new home nestled deep in West Hollywood? Maybe some infamous digs known for their connection to a badly burned homicidal maniac with a penchant for making your life a living hell via your dreams? Then read on!
THR reports that the house where Freddy Krueger haunted dreams in 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street is now for sale.
The three-bedroom, three-and-a-quarter-bath home in West Hollywood was listed for sale last week for $2.1 million. Although the 2,700-square-foot interior (which was not used in the movie) was extensively renovated in 2006, the facade -- which also appeared in Nightmare’s first sequel, Freddy’s Revenge (1985), as well as the series’ seventh installment, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994) -- remains recognizable to horror fans.
Built in 1919, it also includes a swimming pool and a one-bedroom, one-bath guest house in the rear.
Rodeo Realty is handling the listing.
Okay, who wants to chip in? »

Last year, Best Buy offered an exclusive A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray collection that contained all seven original films. There were very limited quantities and sold out quickly, but it has been revealed that Warner Bros. is preparing a full North American release.

However, if you’re looking to pick it up early, it appears that Amazon.com does have some stock already for sale.

When horror fan and filmmaker Kyle Kuchta discovered the phenomena of the horror convention, he felt like he had finally found a home. So, he made a movie about it. Though his documentary about horror fans probably doesn’t feature a large amount of eye candy, it highlight a very important aspect of fandom.
"I wanted to do a documentary on horror conventions," he explains, "because I didn't feel as if a lot of people knew about them or the loving community that they are a part of."
While making Fantasm, Kuchta’s been travelling the country to various conventions to find out why horror brings people together.
Not only has he been talking to the fans, but he’s tapped the people behind the films that bring these horror hounds together, including scream queen Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Nightmare), Tom Atkins (Halloween III, Escape from New York), Joe Lynch (Chillerama, »
