That’s ridiculous, Stephen. Your parents sound great 😁
As a sufferer of night terrors from a young age, this was always going to terrify me. And even watching it since it still holds up well. Wes Craven really was a master of horror
However, even in 1985, there is no excuse for the special effects when the mum gets dragged through the door window 😂
Interesting side fact, I briefly lived in a street called Elmbank Street where the spooky stuff at the start of my latest article happened and my mum always used to call it a nightmare on Elmbank Street 😁
Can I throw in an honourable mention for Gerard Butler in the crime thriller “Law Abiding Citizen”??? I don’t know if you’ve ever seen it but with the way he turns from mild mannered family man to sadistic killer after getting screwed over by the law is downright scary 😲😲😲. It’s a brilliant movie but when it takes a somewhat “dark” turn (when Gerard changes), it turns into gut wrenching horror, especially with his battle of wits with Jamie Foxx & his gruesome methods of revenge he unleashes on all those who screwed him over 😬😬😬
Hannibal Lecter, Mike Myers, Jason Vorhees (I hope I spelled his name right) & although I can’t remember his actual name… The villain from the movie “Hell Raiser” 👹👹👹
Ahh, memories. First horror movie I ever saw, also around 5 years old. (Where were my parents??) The tongue thing, Freddy's long arms, and the fountain of blood scene scared me to DEATH as a child. Tina getting dragged up the wall still scares me!
Love your little review!!! You finally got to this one!!
It's funny, I first saw this when I was 3? Maybe 4? I was supposed to be in bed, got tucked in and all. Then my parents went to throw in the VHS and I snuck out and sat behind the couch watching it. That was the night I got hooked on horror movies haha. Freddy always has a special place in my heart.
Yeah I think I was younger than 5! To get over my fear of it, I had to finally watch till the end in the hope that the good guys would win (which they don't) 😂😭
Watched it at 5 years old! 😆

No wonder we're all traumatised as adults eh 😂
I'll check out your article 👌🏻
Probably the first real horror movie I ever watched, think I was about 10-years-old. Scared me silly.
Same! Dunno what our parents were thinking lol.
We had part 3 playing during my 8th birthday party...ahh the 80s..
That is incredible! 😂😂😂❤️
Freddy is my favourite movie villain of all time ☝️👹
What others do you like, Gerard?

What is it with parents letting 5 year-olds watch this movie back in the day! 😂
Yeah the Tina scene still holds up btw 💀
