I always enjoyed this movie. But it has been a long while since I last watched. I always preferred the first half of the movie over the second one though. I am not a big fan of the look of the vampires in this movie.

My Thoughts:
While still entertaining... I this is my least favorite of the three movies. It is still worth watching every once in a while... but I didn't care too much for the storyline. The jokes they are using seemed recycled from the previous movies. But it still has a few decent laughs. The action isn't quite as good in this one either... but there is still some to enjoy. But watching this one you can tell why it is the last one in the series.

I always found this episode rather boring. Freddy Krueger look-a-like is killing children at the hospital in a monster-of-the-week show.
