    Eve Plumb was the only smart one of the cast, opting to skip it. I was about 10 when this aired and even at that age, I could tell that it was just horrible. It was trying to be like the Donny & Marie Show or Sonny & Cher Show, but it lacked…talent. They weren’t good singers, they weren’t good dancers, and the writing was awful. I feel embarrassed for them when I watch it - I can only imagine how embarrassed they were to be doing that garbage on the set.

    I became an Elm Street/Freddy fanatic in 1987...just in time for the Freddy-mania of the late 80's(I'm still a fanatic to this day). As a teen,I loved it. But I do remember in issues of Fangoria they had quite a few articles about Freddy not being scary anymore(this was in 1988). Dream warriors is my all time favorite movie in the series,but I do prefer my Freddy scary and brutal,with a dark sense of humor...which part 3 captured perfectly. Like you've said,things like this happen to all horror icons,but with Freddy it was much easier for New Line to cash in because unlike Jason or Michael,Freddy not only talked but had a personality. And as much as I love Robert Englund,I don't think he really took the character seriously,like maybe Kane Hodder did with Jason.

      That's a real shame. I went on the JAWS ride back in '04 and it was the highlight of my visit. After being on so many rides that were just sitting in a movie theater and watching a screen, it was exciting to be out on the water. I bet there will be something big for the 50th. A few theaters near me are showing it on 4th of July weekend, I'm seeing it at a local Drive-In.

    As a kid in the 80s, I was very familiar with Freddy and Jason despite being a small child who had never seen any of their movies. Looking back, it was really weird that these characters were marketed to kids, but it just seemed normal to me back then. But I had never heard of other characters like Leatherface or The Toxic Avenger. When Toxic Avengers came out, I had no idea it was a spin-off of a not at all child friendly movie.

    • @atomicabe
      @atomicabe 5 днів тому

      So true. Years ago I interviewed Lloyd Kaufman at the opening night of TOXIC AVENGER: THE MUSICAL and he made a joke about it being the only musical based on a movie where a child gets killed by having his head run over by a car. (Or words to that effect.)

    There is one flaw that I am noticing about your comparison. The shark in Jaws 3-D that is brought in by the scientists is the child of the Killer shark which had been trapped in the parks water intake pipes. The Juvenile shark dies while the scientists are trying to acclimate it.
