I was never, and am still not a fan of horror films...but I love Freddy Krueger.
If Robert Englund isn't in the striped sweater, it ain't Freddy. Period.
And, the latest on the new Spider-Man is that it's going to be set with Peter Parker in high school rather than as an adult. And it's going to be in 3D.

Re: new Nightmare
I'm happy you bring up the Dawn of the Dead movie, as it is one of my all time favorite zombie movies. That remake created such a trend that one cannot help but give any remake the benefit of the doubt for potential to completely revitalize or revolutionize a particular genre.

True true true! The Dawn remake certainly did that for zombie movies, although they sort of got a kick start with 28 Days Later (2003). Personally, though, I prefer slow-moving zombies to runners. It's just creepier when you have a big horde of lurching zombies rather than those crazy fast ones.
I also really like Romero's Day of the Dead (1985). That's a highly underestimated movie with some great social satire, too. I love Romero because he never sold out and always put sharp messages in his movies... all the while making really good horror.

Re: new Nightmare
I love Zombie movies too and quite like horror movies in general. The seem to give a delightful B movie vibe, but in a good way. You can't take them seriously but they are all the more fun for it.
