This end comes from NC (which is a pretty neat web show) and with the release of a Nightmare on Elm St film tomorrow, the big baddies of the 80s have all made the jump to remake land.

Now I hope this works out, each film will be judged on 5 criteria, and whichever wins majority gets your vote.
1) Main lead/villain/character
2) Supporting case (in this case, all those kids who die)
3) Plot (oddly enough very different for a remake)
4) Style/look
5) Overall package/appeal
Old vs New: Friday The 13th
