A prequel sounds really good. Go back to good old horror and no comedy!

Why do I see a Dancing With The Stars stint in Freddie's future?

Freddy vs. Jason vs. Michael? That'd be kinda cool if Michael went back to his sneaky relentless killer ways.

A prequel does sound pretty cool.

Why continue to beat this long-dead horse? Hasn't it stunk up the place enough. The only two worth seeing are the one's that craven directed. The rest are just crap. Move on, already.

True. I wish I could say 'so quit while you're ahead' but that's not even the case here. Just don't do it!

Meh, the sequels are ALL better than the original. Perhaps because Freddy is just not a scary character. He has always worked better as a dark but comedic character. Btw, I wouldn't mind seeing him again. Freddy vs. Jason was great.
