10 Best One Liners From Freddy Krueger!

Published

on

Oh Freddy. What a delightful character you are endlessly providing us with fantastic one liners and gorgeous gifs as the one above. Krueger has always bellowed out at least one and frequently multiple memorable quotes and hilarious one liners from each of the Nightmare movies; All to the joy of my ears and had my parents washing out my mouth with soap pretty often. I credit Mr. Englund for my filthy fucken mouth that gives me my own way with words. In many instances with some of you iHorror readers, it has given us a sick and twisted F- bomb bond that we connect with. You know who you fuckers are. I salute all of you and our extended vocabulary of the English language.

Fellow iHorror writer and buddy Lando BC  made a lovely list last week exemplifying Bruce Campbell‘s stunning quotes from The Army Of Darkness film, which you can read here. Along with all these factors, and the recent media hype over the newly announced Nightmare reboot, I figured let’s take a moment to appreciate Fred’s charismatic way of words with the 10 best one liners from the horror icon we all know and love. So, working my way backwards from Freddy Vs. Jason all the way to the 1984 original,  let’s look at some of Krueger’s greatest vocal achievements.

10. Welcome to my world, Bitch!

Freddy Vs. Jason

Even tho Lori gave this phrase a lot more oomph later in the film, it’s become a classic line in the series. Quite frankly, anytime Krueger implements the word bitch, is always a winner with me.

9. Now I’m playing with power!

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare

This whole segment had me cracking up when I first saw this as a child. As a matter of fact, the entire 3 minutes could be a list on its own. Being an 80’s Nintendo AND horror fanatic, this brought me such joy especially when he broke out the power glove. Sure, the glove sucks ( you products of the 80’s know EXACTLY what I mean) but it was glorious nonetheless.

8. Kung Fu this Bitch!

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare

Do I really need an explanation for this?

7. Wanna suck face?

Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

THIS. This is just hilarious. Well maybe not to everyone, but I’ve been told my sense of humor is pretty twisted.

6. How’s this for a wet dream?!

Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

We all knew when Joey would finally meet his demise, it would be at the helm of his weakness. Women. At least the guy got one last boner.

5. Welcome to primetime Bitch!

Nightmare On Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors

You knew it was coming! Possibly one of the most iconic lines from the series, remains an absolute classic with me.

4. You are all my children now!

Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge

Nightmare 2 gets a bad rap, but the pool scene is probably one of my favorites from the franchise. Filled with absolute rage and showing Fred’s truly monstrous personality, that line will send a few chills down your spine.

3. I’m your boyfriend now Nancy!

A Nightmare On Elm Street 1984

I’m certain Freddy’s message to Nancy that Glenn fell victim to a nightmare rang loud and clear. Oh and just for shits, It is now 12 midnight and this station Kr Gr leaving the air.

2. No running in the hallway!

A Nightmare On Elm Street 1984

Screw your pass! This sequence is personally my all time favorite in the series. The cinematography and chilling background music add to the horrors that Nancy is about to come face to face with. Beautifully shot.

1. This is God.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 1984

It certainly isn’t the catchiest of the bunch, but it certainly has left its mark as being one of Freddy’s most iconic lines. He definitely wanted to make it clear that Tina was basically fucked. Bravo sir.

‘Strange Darling,’ a standout film featuring Kyle Gallner, who is nominated for an iHorror award for his performance in ‘The Passenger,’ and Willa Fitzgerald, has been acquired for a wide theatrical release in the United States by Magenta Light Studios, a new enterprise from veteran producer Bob Yari. This announcement, brought to us by Variety, follows the film’s successful premiere at Fantastic Fest in 2023, where it was universally praised for its creative storytelling and compelling performances, achieving a perfect score of 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from 14 reviews.

Strange Darling – Movie Clip

Directed by JT Mollner, ‘Strange Darling‘ is a thrilling narrative of a spontaneous hookup that takes an unexpected and terrifying turn. The film is notable for its innovative narrative structure and the exceptional acting of its leads. Mollner, known for his 2016 Sundance entry “Outlaws and Angels,” has once again employed 35mm for this project, cementing his reputation as a filmmaker with a distinct visual and narrative style. He is currently involved in adapting Stephen King’s novel “The Long Walk” in collaboration with director Francis Lawrence.

Bob Yari expressed his enthusiasm for the film’s upcoming release, scheduled for August 23rd, highlighting the unique qualities that make ‘Strange Darling’ a significant addition to the horror genre. “We are thrilled to be bringing nationwide theatrical audiences this unique and exceptional film with terrific performances by Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner. This second feature from talented writer-director JT Mollner is destined to become a cult classic that defies conventional storytelling,” Yari told Variety.

Variety’s review of the film from Fantastic Fest lauds Mollner’s approach, saying, “Mollner shows himself to be more forward-thinking than most of his genre peers. He’s clearly a student of the game, one who studied his forebears’ lessons with adroitness to better prepare himself to put his own mark on them.” This praise underlines Mollner’s deliberate and thoughtful engagement with the genre, promising audiences a film that is both reflective and innovative.

Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Barbarella’ Revival Forges Ahead

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney Barbarella

Sydney Sweeney has confirmed the ongoing progress of the much-anticipated reboot of Barbarella. The project, which sees Sweeney not only starring but also executive producing, aims to breathe new life into the iconic character that first captured audiences’ imaginations in the 1960s. However, amid speculation, Sweeney remains tight-lipped about the possible involvement of celebrated director Edgar Wright in the project.

During her appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Sweeney shared her enthusiasm for the project and the character of Barbarella, stating, “It is. I mean, Barbarella is just such a fun character to explore. She really just embraces her femininity and her sexuality, and I love that. She uses sex as a weapon and I think it’s such an interesting way into a sci-fi world. I’ve always wanted to do sci-fi. So we’ll see what happens.“

Sydney Sweeney confirms her Barbarella reboot is still in the works

Barbarella, originally a creation of Jean-Claude Forest for V Magazine in 1962, was transformed into a cinematic icon by Jane Fonda under the direction of Roger Vardim in 1968. Despite a sequel, Barbarella Goes Down, never seeing the light of day, the character has remained a symbol of sci-fi allure and adventurous spirit.

Over the decades, several high-profile names including Rose McGowan, Halle Berry, and Kate Beckinsale were floated as potential leads for a reboot, with directors Robert Rodriguez and Robert Luketic, and writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade previously attached to revive the franchise. Unfortunately, none of these iterations made it past the conceptual stage.

Barbarella

The film’s progress took a promising turn approximately eighteen months ago when Sony Pictures announced its decision to cast Sydney Sweeney in the titular role, a move that Sweeney herself has suggested was facilitated by her involvement in Madame Web, also under Sony’s banner. This strategic decision was aimed at fostering a beneficial relationship with the studio, specifically with the Barbarella reboot in mind.

When probed about Edgar Wright’s potential directorial role, Sweeney adeptly sidestepped, merely noting that Wright has become an acquaintance. This has left fans and industry watchers speculating about the extent of his involvement, if any, in the project.

Barbarella is known for its adventurous tales of a young woman traversing the galaxy, engaging in escapades that often incorporate elements of sexuality—a theme Sweeney seems eager to explore. Her commitment to reimagining Barbarella for a new generation, while staying true to the character’s original essence, sounds like the making of a great reboot.

‘The First Omen’ Almost Received an NC-17 Rating

Published

on

Set for an April 5 theater release, ‘The First Omen’ carries an R-rating, a classification that was almost not achieved. Arkasha Stevenson, in her inaugural feature film directorial role, faced a formidable challenge in securing this rating for the prequel to the esteemed franchise. It seems the filmmakers had to contend with the ratings board to prevent the film from being saddled with an NC-17 rating. In a revealing conversation with Fangoria, Stevenson described the ordeal as ‘a long battle’, one not waged over traditional concerns such as gore. Instead, the crux of the controversy centered around the depiction of the female anatomy.

Stevenson’s vision for “The First Omen” delves deep into the theme of dehumanization, particularly through the lens of forced birthing. “The horror in that situation is how dehumanized that woman is”, Stevenson explains, emphasizing the significance of presenting the female body in a non-sexualized light to address themes of forced reproduction authentically. This commitment to realism nearly landed the film an NC-17 rating, sparking a prolonged negotiation with the MPA. “This has been my life for a year and a half, fighting for the shot. It’s the theme of our film. It’s the female body being violated from the inside outwards”, she states, highlighting the importance of the scene to the film’s core message.

Producers David Goyer and Keith Levine supported Stevenson’s battle, encountering what they perceived as a double standard in the ratings process. Levine reveals, “We had to go back and forth with the ratings board five times. Weirdly, avoiding the NC-17 made it more intense”, pointing out how the struggle with the ratings board inadvertently intensified the final product. Goyer adds, “There is more permissiveness when dealing with male protagonists, particularly in body horror”, suggesting a gender bias in how body horror is evaluated.

The film’s bold approach to challenging viewers’ perceptions extends beyond the ratings controversy. Co-writer Tim Smith notes the intention to subvert expectations traditionally associated with The Omen franchise, aiming to surprise audiences with a fresh narrative focus. “One of the big things we were excited to do was to kind of pull the rug out from under people’s expectations”, Smith says, underscoring the creative team’s desire to explore new thematic ground.

Nell Tiger Free, known for her role in “Servant”, leads the cast of “The First Omen”, set for release by 20th Century Studios on April 5. The movie follows a young American woman dispatched to Rome for church service, where she stumbles upon a sinister force that shakes her faith to its core and reveals a chilling plot aimed at summoning evil incarnate.
