Not NEW NIGHTMARE But New NIGHTMARE Pics Released

I would seriously be more excited, probably almost ecstatic, for the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET remake if Platinum Dunes’ last outing, FRIDAY THE 13TH, had been any damn good.  Both are remakes of classic, ’80s, horror staples that spawned massive franchises, and both have promising trailers.  Alas, FRIDAY THE 13TH was boring, goofy, and scored an absolute zero on the fun-o-meter.  Let’s see if NIGHTMARE can succeed where it failed.

Today, courtesy of Omelete, we have three, new stills from the new remake.  One of them even offers us a pretty good glimpse at Freddy’s new look, of which we’ve only seen via the soon-to-be-released action figure.

Check ’em out right here:
