I had trouble downloading the 1080p version last night. But it seems the link is working now. I rewatched it many times, stopping me from sleeping early. Thanks for the link!

It must have unleashed my inner bogan/headbanger. Can't complain though; because the late 80,s early 90,s cock rock and heavy metal has been very influencial to my music tastes to this very day.... but alas I digress.

I think a lot of people back in the day first watched those kind of movies at sleepovers when you used to dare each other constantly. Funnily enough, <em>Shocker</em> was another Wes Craven flick. I'm pretty sure he was responsible for scaring the crap out of loads of kids who were in their teens in the 80's and 90's. I didn't see the film until I was in my 20's but I can definitely see how it would scare a youngster. Apparently that was one of his films that nearly landed a remake too! But going back to the <em>Nightmare</em> franchise for a second though, the first and third one's are the only decent films that I remember. The only other one worth watching is Wes Craven's <em>New Nightmare</em>. That's actually genuinely scary in places, especially if you're a fan of the original <em>Nightmare</em>. Unfortunately the ending is fucking absurd but for the most part, it's quite clever for a horror flick and I was surprised when it came out that other's didn't follow its 'formula'. It makes a good double screening with the original film. ahahah that’s a great story Anthony.
