    I love them both as well but for me Freddy will always be scarier because with Ghostface they are only human so you can run, drive, or even fly away from them. With Freddy, it didn’t matter where you go. You have to sleep eventually.

  • @robertperner7196
    @robertperner7196 Год назад +2

    I think the biggest advantage that the Nightmare franchise has over Scream is that Freddy is not just a face, but also an iconic character. With all Scream movies being whodunnits, we never are given too much time to delve into the twisted minds of any of the killers. We may see these characters throughout the movies, but we only get a few minutes with their "killer sides". Ghostface's repertoire of scary phone calls and quirks like wiping the blood off the knife with the glove are all shared between multiple characters. Which makes sense, with the franchise being so meta, but at the end of the day, the killers are mysteries for the first 90 minutes or so of each movie.
    Freddy is only ever a mystery in the first movie, which was all about him anyway. From Part 2 onwards, we're already familiar with him and understand how dangerous and unhinged he is. That gave the filmmakers the opportunity to try out new things; just the fact that it's about dreams already opens up virtually infinite room for experimentation.

  • @tommyosborne5522
    @tommyosborne5522 Год назад +3

    Scream for me. It's a film that still holds up to this day and I think because it could actually happen adds to it. Plus the twist of two killers is an all-time great. Plus it has so many little moments that you can rematch and catch on multiple viewings. Plus I think the characters and cast are leaps and bounds better.

  • @elmstreetsurvivor1866
    @elmstreetsurvivor1866 Год назад +5

    I wish this was done as a franchise vs franchise format, there's so many different characters and plots to go over with both Scream and ANOES. Especially given that Scream has different killers every movie, it would be interesting to compare the different iterations of Ghostface against Freddy's changing personality.
    Though I love Nancy to death, her character essentially stays the same through the franchise. There's never a serious shift in her character, she's been strong and stubborn from the get-go and nothing changes through Parts 1, 3 or 7 if you count it. I think it's criminal that Alice Johnson from parts 4 and 5 is not given her due. To me, she's the only character in the franchise next to Freddy himself that exhibits any form of character development. For Freddy, it's merely a change to letting his sick mind go ballistic but for Alice it's a 180 degree shift from a quiet and meek girl to a badass by the series' standards. Plus, she's the only final girl to survive Freddy in multiple films. (Again, unless you count New Nightmare).
    Overall this was a great watch. I think Scream got a little more favor by way of it's entire franchise while ANOES was kind of left to the parameters of it's own film for most of the segments. Despite this, it was fun as always! ////

Nightmare has unfortunately had consistently less than stellar mains and acting aside from Robert where I never care for the characters or am on the edge of my seat watching because they’re such throwaways. Nancy is the only good and compelling main and shes in a fraction of the movies. the acting dates the franchise so much too unfortunately.
