OK, I appreciate that Wes Craven did set up quite an icon in Freddy Krueger and the first movie wasn't all that bad. It's just a shame that the thing kind of strayed away from what horror is supposed to be about, you know? I'm all for laughs and scares sharing the same space in a movie - Sam Raimi managed it brilliantly in "Evil Dead II", as did Eli Roth in "Cabin Fever". As for Jason Vorhees and the various sequels he's starred in, well, I'm glad someone found them frightening.
