Back then, 1988. A season on television ran 24, 25 episodes. So two seasons I'm taking a shot here that arounf forty-eight, fifty.

Frankenstein's Monster was less threatening than Peter Boyle,and the final battle was way too short. While I have gotten more enjoyment out of King Kong Vs. Godzilla since my initial first viewing, and thanks to seeing it in its widescreen glory on the Sci-Fi Channel(I refuse to use the current moniker), and DVD. But I'd still like to see a remake of that Showa Era film.

Peter Boyle was balls-to-the-wall man. Don't mess with him.

Recently started watching the series in chronological order... As a big nerd of retro-horror, I'm in love.

Yeah I started watching the movies 6 months ago about. Still have to see 3 and 5. Could've watched them on the SyFy but passed because I want to see them uncut, uncensored, etc. It's beginning to be my favorite horror series right now, just in front of Child's Play.

The Elm Street series counts as "retro-horror"? The last entry in the original series was only released 13 years ago. It's not like we're talking Universal monsters, or even Hammer/Amicus here. :)

When watching the original films up until Freddy's Dead (and in some cases New Nightmare), absolutely. It's pure 80's in every sense of the phrase.

I consider the Hammer and Universal films classic horror due to their extreme influence on modern horror films and the era they were made in.

Pretty much my thoughts. I have a big obsession with 80's-style horror, which I suppose nowadays is kind of retro.

Those are some awfully... serious responses to a comment that was supposed to be read as, "Jesus, am I really old enough that stuff made in my lifetime is being called 'retro'?"

Sunday night, IFC played the action flick SPEED. My dad walked in ,and called it "that old movie". Made me feel a bit on the geezerly side.

Anyhoo, there's been talk of rebooting the franchise again. And one actor who's expressed interest in playing the Dream Stalker in the reboot penned by Orphan and The Conjuring 2 scribe, David Leslie Jordan, is Kevin Bacon.

I could see it. Bacon has played the heavy on several occasions, even downright sleazy, evil at times. Very well. I think he could pull it off. I liked Jackie Earl Haley's performance in the remake, but some bad script writing really screwed the pooch on that one. He unfortunately got messed up with that flick.

Kevin's a great actor. I'd love for him to play Freddy in any new Nightmare films. It would certainly give the film a form of star power to persuade the GA to go see it.

I feel like a lot of the effectiveness of modern (meaning post-1970 or so) iconic horror characters comes from the actors themselves being relatively unknown. Most people in the general audience don't perceive Freddy Krueger as "a character played by actor Robert Englund," they just perceive him as Freddy.

I adore the fact that NewLine asked Nintendo if they could use the Power Glove slogan in their film, and when Nintendo said "No", NewLine was just like "Lul do it anyway"

Unpublished cover art by Joe Jusko, to Marvel's magazine sized black and white A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET mag. That despite good sales, ended up getting canned over fears of attacks from the Uptight Citizens Brigade.

I'd personally like Universal to finally release the unedited director's cut of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man by putting back all the scenes (both video and audio) of the Frankenstein Monster referring to events from the previous film, speaking with Ygor's voice and being blind. That way, they could finish what I call "The Ygor Saga" part of the series, which includes these films: 1) Son of Frankenstein (1939) 2) The Wolf Man (1941) 3) The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) 4) Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (the unedited director's cut) (1943).
