This is even better than the draft I saw! I love what you did here. It's fucking EPIC.

[fan_eunice]

*HUGS*

thanks so much for the rec, dude. ILU

[laurashapiro]

::HUGS::

ILU2!

[laurashapiro]

Oh, and: recced.

[eisen]

Oh, wow. This is bloody perfect. (Terrifying, uplifting, devastating, and precise and often all at once; everything a horror vid ought to be, IMHO.)

[fan_eunice]

Thank you so much, OMG.

[minim_calibre]

Damn. I want to be able to see this on a huge screen in a dark room, even if it's pretty much a given that doing so would make my chronic insomnia worse.

<3

[fan_eunice]

*HUGS* thanks for the rec. Heh, yeah, you'd think I would have avoided these movies like the plague given that I've suffered from nightmares and insomnia my whole life...but somehow? That always just made them more appealing. :D

<3 back atcha

[mary]

This is totally gorgeous; I absolutely love everything you've done here.

[fan_eunice]

Thank you!

[cereta]

EEE, this is AWESOME! I love it!!!

[fan_eunice]

YAY!!!!!! I mean, obvs I want everyone to like it, but you were on my short list of people that I was like, "oh god, if Lucy doesn't like it I WILL CRY"

You have made my morning. *HUGS TIGHT*

[merryish]

SO. AWESOME! =D I <3 this, I'm so glad it's done and I can look at it any time I want now. Except not alone in the dark!

[fan_eunice]

*HUGS*

*plugs in night light for you*

[littleheaven]

I want to watch it but I am too scared to. I could never watch horror movies in my teens so now I don't know if it'll freak me out or not.

[fan_eunice]

You don't have to watch! I knew when I made it that horror is not for everyone and that I'd be limiting my audience. :)

[littleheaven]

I know. But I want to.

[settiai]

I would like to propose marriage. Or, at the very least, declare my neverending love for you. (I haven't done that in a few months, right?)

Seriously, this was awesome. ♥

[fan_eunice]

I accept and absolutely adore you back! :D

Also, I need to talk to you at some point about working out the MiniMatt for Vividcon thing. Do I need to paypal you or how are we gonna work this? *HUGS*

[settiai]

How about we just call him a gift and be done with it? ♥

[sol_se]

Whoa! That was fantastic!

[fan_eunice]

Thank you!

This is like the flip side to your Eleventy Walking on Sunshine vid (which I loved and never said so). What you don’t wish for, what you ask Santa never to send. The timing on the Elm Street sign reveal is shocking just when it started to feel safe and then the pictures and the ending with the shadow still always there. But I love the bridge best for showing me that least for a moment (and the moment that matters) not only monsters can be legend.

[fan_eunice]

Oh wow, I hadn't really thought of it that way but it is kind of the flip side, even in terms of the emotional space I was coming from when I made them both. Yay, insight! Thank you. :)

[true_statement]

Awesome work :DDD

[fan_eunice]

Thank you!

[danegen]

I can't tell you how much I love this. I love the meta aspect of Freddy as the rock star and Heather watching the movies, especially the bit with Tina in the body bag. (That's still the scariest thing I've ever seen on film.)

And oh wow, the "puppet on a string" line where Nancy, Alice, and the others find their weapons. YAY FOREVER.

That last shot of Freddy's shadow in the alley--absolutely perfect.

[fan_eunice]

\o/ I'm glad you liked it. OMG the body bag...yeah, that is one of those moments that still gets me no matter how many times I see it.

:D

[burnmybridges]

The Nightmare On Elm Street vid is amazing! I love how smooth your edits are, and the way you focus on Nancy. She's always been my favourite charcter from that franchise. (Though I really liked Kris in the remake)

[fan_eunice]

Thank you so much :)

I <3 Nancy, and I love what they did with all the meta in the 7th movie (um, obviously, hee).

I haven't seen the reboot yet, the originals were such a part of my teen years that I have an irrational NO DONT YOU TOUCH THAT reaction to it. I reckon I'm not going to be able to resist forever though.

[burnmybridges]

The reboot is...not great. Not horriblem but it's a missed oppertunity, I'd say. Doesn't really bring anything worthy to the whole franchise and could have been a lot more than what it was but it seemed like they were afraid of pushing the boundaries. Katie Cassidy as Kris was one of the better things about it, though.

The originals are awesome. Some aren't, so much, but for me parts 1 and 3 especially are amazing horror movies that still stand up very, very well. And there are still some fascinating ideas in the rest of the franchise that I would have loved to see expanded upon.

[lilly_the_kid]

This is so awesome!!! I recently had big Nightmare on Elm Street love revival feeling thingy (Is this proper English? I don't care, I'm too thrilled right now!) and this came at a perfect time AND it rocks!!!
Thank you!!!
