Haley just did his Rorschach but with a scratchier voice. He isn’t the main problem of the horrible remake, but he’s one in a long list of problems with the remake.

The mistake was always doing it as a remake as opposed to a new story (that ignored the events of 6 and 7, much as FvJ did). People who hated JEH “serious” Freddy a) don’t realize it is the director and writers that largely determine a film’s tone, and b) don’t remember what Freddy was like in the original film, or how the humor undermined the series in the end.

He’s sticking that makeup on and prancing around cons for photos with hundreds of people for hours and hours. You can be damn sure he would rather be on a movie set! :P

I couldn’t care what Freddy did to them, and the terrible CGI death scenes didn’t make me wanna watch them die either. So, why watch then?

The movie around him is what destroyed the film, not him.
