Well you are going to hear a lot of that in this movie. First and foremost, I must admit that I have never watched the first (original) version of this movie. Yea, I’m serious. My parents didn’t believe in letting their children watch horror/thriller movies. I’ve also not watched Edward Scissorhands…but that’s a review for another day. Thanks Advertlets for tickets to the pre-screening & Diese of BaYnN.com for her photo of the tix Okay, back to Freddy: This story…
