So true, buddy.
Are you including some sequels in there? Cause I count 5 not 10.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a really good one. In my opinion, it is Craven's best film. While the first Nightmare film is certainly a classic and definitely wins points for its (relative) originality, New Nightmare is great because it takes the Nightmare series in an interesting new, if short-lived, direction. It is also the only slasher based film that I actually consider scary. It also utilized the meta plot before that technique was popularized for the horror genre by Craven's later film Scream. Now, this is not to say that the earlier films weren't great. They were. His best films outside of Scream and Nightmare were the Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Serpent and the Rainbow. Of all the films Craven made, these films stand out as being among the best, but I still think that New Nightmare exceeds them all and it is actually pretty underrated itself. Most times if it even gets a reference, it's kind of an afterthought. Like "oh, yeah, that one was good. I like Freddy." Totally ignoring that the greatness of this film was that it was something very unique.
