Wow... this is edited close to perfection.

I really enjoy how the video first shows his trademarks (the building of the glove, the hat, the striped shirt) without revealing his face.

Freddy may very well be the ultimate icon of '80s horror (at least slasher) flicks.

It's just a character that nails "it": the one-liners, the look, the acting (ROBERT F'N ENGLUND) and the theme music (I totally flipped at 2:00, when it first plays out) all builds up to an unforgettable character. Nice job, pal!!

Seriously I think he`s the scariest thing I`ve ever seen and I`ve seen what my dog did in the basement.

[fadalisdestroyer666]

@GYROMIGHT1 Well,the dog pooped in the basement.

That`s what she did.

[zimmygirl777]

me:This guy rules.

Catbert:Oh please.Prairie dogs kill more than this loser and that`s because of monkey pox.

And furthermore...*gets stabbed by Freddy right through his eyes*

me:Ouch.*gives Freddy a wad of cash*Here you go,dude.

I kinda like his hat. Yes I know im going to get hate for giving a damn about his clothes but oh well. This comment is coming from a guy who either laughs or examines things during horror movies. Btw does anyone know how the reverse bear trap from saw works i couldnt get how it worked when I saw it.
