Nightmare Prequel

With all of the prequels that have been released over the past few years, most of which were bad (I'm looking directly at you George Lucas), it's crazy that there hasn't been a Nightmare on Elm Street prequel yet.

Now I know that supposedly there is talk of one, but until there is definitive proof that one is upcoming I have the right to bitch and moan about the lack of one so far. Freddy Krueger is to horror films what Darth Vader is to Science Fiction films. He's the cool bad guy. Sure he was a child molester and murderer but we want and need a film that tells the whole story as to how he became what he is.

Ok, so the child molestation angle would have to go in today's world, and rightfully so seeing as how it is an occurrence that happens much too often in real life. But, the film could still explain that he was a child killer without being graphic and leading to copycats in the real world. Besides, just the story of why a man would grow up to make a glove with razor sharp knives for fingers and end up getting torched by the neighbors is just too good to pass up.

The snippets of his past we have seen in the movies have made us want more. Please, whoever is in charge at New Line, give us this one crumb. As long as there isn't any Jar Jar Binks, we'll be happy.
