Freddy's Dead – Wake Us Up

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is exactly what you'd expect from an aging franchise that's overstayed its welcome. It looks and feels cheap; pales in comparison to prior entries; and boasts a script not befitting the icon it represents.

Frankly, Freddy's Dead is a travesty. If it weren't later redeemed by Wes Craven's exceptional New Nightmare, it may have gone down as the single worst final entry in any mainline horror franchise.

Now, sit back, stay up late with a Tucked in By Strangers IPA from Paperback Brewing Co., and avoid the Nazi lady at Springwood's budget town fair! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are hoping the Dream Warriors save us from this nightmare!
