He continues: “Freddy is still part of popular culture. [A imagem dos filmes antigos] Blu-ray on the big screen is even better these days than when feature films hit theaters. Any 12-year-old preteen who sees it will love it. You don’t need to reach a new generation yet.

Recently, rumors have suggested that a possible remake of ‘Freddy vs. Jason ‘is in development.

It has been said that the film should serve as a way to revitalize both franchises for new generations, as “The Nightmare Hour” has also lost momentum in recent years.
