4.0 out of 5 stars Freddy transcends from movies to TV, May 31, 2000

This review is from: Freddy's Nightmares: Dreams That Kill [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I never knew that Freddy Krueger had a TV series, until I found an episode in the store. As an avid Freddy fan (though Michael Myers is still my #1 fav!) I gave it a chance, and wow! Though not as intense as the movies (which is to be expected from 1980's TV), Robert Englund still manages to deliver his creepy, yet riotous, performance as Freddy Krueger. Many people say he became less scary as the movies went on, but I say his twisted ripoffs of one-liners makes him even better. James Bond pulls a similar stunt in all of his movies, so let's give Freddy a break and stop complaining about the movies. Robert Englund deserves a standing ovation for playing the same character for almost 20 years! In this particular episode, when a TV talk show host does an investigation into dreams that kill, Freddy attempts to stop the show, or else he won't have anyone to play with anymore! But the show goes forward, and Freddy puts the talk show host in the hospital. There's a truly great Freddy moment when he performs surgery on his patient, ripping off even more great oneliners. This is Freddy at his best! Although not as good as the movies, the TV series is still worth checking out, especially if you love Freddy! You are all his children now!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay episode of the Elm Street tv show Freddy's Nightmares, November 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Freddy's Nightmares: Dreams That Kill [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Dreams That Kill is the story of talk show host Charlie Michaels, who is plagued by Freddy during sleep. After he is accidentally electricuted on the set of his show and lapses into a coma, a young man who was in a motorcycle accident is injected with Charlie's brain cells by an overzealous doctor, to replace damaged ones. Only the doctor took them from the dream center of Charlie's mind. . .

I kind of thought the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET the series was cheesy, but as a fan of Freddy, I still liked these episodes.
