I was super late to the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies.<\/p>

I was aware of them since I was a little kid and knew who Freddy Krueger and Robert Englund was, but I was not a horror fan growing up.<\/p>

But in more recent times, I have become a fan and I started watching these movies in 2022.<\/p>

Yeah I’m a late bloomer on these movies.<\/p>

But I love them now.<\/p>

This franchise is very good.\u00a0 It’s hard to rank these because I enjoy all of them (even the remake of the original).<\/p>

However, I’m going to rank them on this post.<\/p>

Here it goes:<\/p>

  1. A Nightmare on Elm Street-The original.\u00a0 The best.\u00a0 The template.\u00a0 I loved it on first watch.\u00a0 All the characters and actors are great.\u00a0 Great story.\u00a0 It has everything it needs to be great.\u00a0 When I first saw this, I thought wow this is going to be hard to top.\u00a0 Again, I like all of these, but this is number one period.<\/li>
  2. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2:\u00a0 Freddy’s Revenge-A lot of people seem to hate this movie but I love it.\u00a0 Again like the first one, I love all the actors and characters.\u00a0 Great story.\u00a0 I don’t see what’s wrong with it.<\/li>
  3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4:\u00a0 The Dream Master-I like 3 but this one for me is better, in my opinion.\u00a0 I know I’m repeating myself, but I love the cast and characters.\u00a0 Everyone was cast well and the story is great.\u00a0 I love all of Freddy’s kills in all of these movies.\u00a0 I know he’s an evil character, but you forget that because he’s always cracking jokes and has a super over the top way of killing someone.\u00a0 These movies I always thought were scary, but I think they’re a lot of fun to watch now.<\/li>
  4. Wes Craven’s A New Nightmare-This is the 7th Nightmare on Elm Street movie and I think one of the best.\u00a0 Creator Wes Craven returns to write and direct this one and it is so well done.\u00a0 It’s really more like a Twilight Zone or Tales From The Crypt type of episode, but it’s a Freddy Krueger movie.\u00a0 Excellent story.<\/li>
  5. Freddy vs. Jason-This is really more of a separate movie, but since Freddy is a big part of it, it still deserves to be on this list.\u00a0 This is a ton of fun.\u00a0 It’s a pure popcorn movie.\u00a0 I love it.<\/li>
  6. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5:\u00a0 The Dream Child-Very good sequel to the 4th movie.\u00a0 Again, apparently this is not one of the popular ones, but I enjoy it.<\/li>
  7. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3:\u00a0 The Dream Warriors-One of the big fan favorites, and I like it for sure, but I just like the ones listed above more.<\/li>
  8. Freddy’s Dead:\u00a0 The Final Nightmare-This is the next to last one ranked but it’s not because I hate it.\u00a0 I really like it actually.\u00a0 But again, I just like the others more.<\/li>
  9. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)-The remake of the original.\u00a0 I avoided this one for quite awhile because Robert Englund does not play Freddy in it, but once I gave it a chance, I thought it was pretty good, and a little bit different than the original, which I appreciate.\u00a0 I hate remakes, but if they’re done a bit differently, I can respect them.\u00a0 So I actually do like this one.\u00a0 Everyone did a good job with it.<\/li><\/ol>

    Well that’s my ranking of this great movie franchise.\u00a0 I truly do like them all very much, so even the ones ranked lowest I don’t hate by any means.\u00a0 This is a great franchise and I’m so glad I finally gave these movies a chance.<\/p>
