Thank You so much for posting this!! I have always been a huge Freddy fan. When I was in Elementary school I had a Freddy doll that I slept with and used to tell everyone that I wanted to marry Freddy when I grew up. That didn't happen but I do have a husband with curly red hair like Robert Englunds. I also dressed my two year old as Freddy for Halloween one year, he had no clue. lol.
Anyways, as far as whether or not this movie will be good, I don't know. Like others have said remakes can be horrible but I'd still want to see it just because. I won't be going to see it at the theater though, I'll wait for dvd. Watching the original is a great idea. I was just thinking that it was time to introduce my children to my old boyfriend, Freddy.
