Their both two of the strongest entries in the series. Part 3 did have a good sense of humour but it was Freddy's demise into in becomming a comical parody of the menacing character of the first two films. I'd say Wes Craven's New Nightmare because it saw Freddy's return to being the dark menacing character he once was...... must remember to watch it again sometime soon.

...I was gonna say Dream Warriors because it was funny as hell, but you brought up a very good point...So, I'd say A new Nightmare...

I think New Nightmare was better. I did get some laughs out of a few of Freddy's one-liners in Dream Warriors, but I just think he works better as the more threatening figure of New Nightmare.

I agree that New Nightmare is the better film; I like them both quite a bit. In fact, other than the first one of course, I think they are both by far the best of the series. But New Nightmare has my vote, because I agree with your point, it took Freddy back to a place, characterwise, he should have remained.

New Nightmare also skewers the film industry ten ways to Sunday. I thought it was just an insanely funny parody, in addition to being crazy scary.

I voted for Dream Warriors also, but you guys are really making some good points about New Nightmare (that pic Robert Englund was painting...brrr). You know, because of the content...Craven could have just skipped all of the other films from 3 and gone right into New Nightmare. The are a lot of lines between the two, not the least of which is Heather Langencamp/Nancy.
