Last night, I braved myself to watch the Philippine movie premiere of A Nightmare on Elm Street at Megamall Cinema 6. I’m not really big on horror movies but I guess I’m completely bored out of my wits at home, that I found myself signing up for the premiere when Azrael asked for bloggers who might want to join the said event.

Anyway, shortly after we got to chat and munch on our popcorn and fries, the event kicked off with the national anthem, followed by a few trailers.
After the trailers, the movie started with a ghoulish music and intermittent images of old, worn out photographs of children. Shortly after that, the signature haunting song started playing…
One, two… Freddy’s coming for you
Thee, four…better lock you door……
I could still remember that song from the first Elm street horror flick back in 1984. I was too young (I was 4 then) to remember the story of the movie back then, the only thing that stood out was that song and the frightening image of Freddy. Read more…
