3. At least he has a great back story before the series, while you have Meyers who kills for no reason, and Jason who shouldn't have a reason to kill after his 4000th reincarnation. (Who also is a blantent ripp off of Meyers)
4. Could you come up with a concept more original? Some guy who kills people in their sleep, as opposed to giant beyond the grave zombies with over sized weapons slaughtering people. I think the only original movie besides the NOES series is TCM.
and my least favorite NOES was 5, that movie completely fucked the story line up.
Plus every movie after 3, Freddy had lost his badassness, he was becoming too funny. Except for Nightmare 7, since Wes directed it, he was a badass in that one.
EDIT
Oh yes let me add something.
I wouldn't find Jason or Micheal even remotely scary if I saw them in real life. Now a days burglars dress like them. But a guy who is burned from head to toe with a nasty ass voice. Not to mention as he's slaughtering you in every which way, not only can he laugh at you as you struggle, but he can talk trash to you also. Whereas Jason or Meyers have nothing to say.

I must applaud you there. That was absolutely the best way of putting it. However, some people get a little offended if you don't bow down and worship Jason or Micheal, but who gives a shit.
Anyway, I think you made an excellent point. It made me chuckle such that my drink came out of my nose.
