Six years ago we endured the fourth installment of the acclaimed Disney franchise, and most viewers felt like it was a black spot on the series’ record. Honestly, I enjoyed At World’s End even with its latent inconsistencies and renewed focus on Johnny Depp’s outlandish performance. I am a huge fan, not only of the Pirates franchise, but of the original Disneyland ride as well as general pirate lore and imagery, so this may have allowed the film to get away with more indiscretions in my eyes than most others. However, I understood the outcry and the negative response the film received even if I didn’t join in on the hangings. But, now with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, I’m disinclined to acquiesce requests for the franchise’s demise. Fair Warning: There be spoilers ahead. You may not survive to pass this way again and these be the last friendly words you hear…

Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #1 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
When I was 8 or 9 I remember having a nightmare, a bad nightmare. I was being chased by this little red demon thing. He would chase me around my house and then he caught me. That was when I woke up, the first time. You see, I woke up several times in this nightmare. Each time I was sure that I was awake and then that little red demon would pop out again. I believe I woke up three times in the nightmare before I actually was awake. I still remember this nightmare clearly today. I can still picture that little red demon, I still remember the feeling of waking up multiple times, and I remember the fear. Nightmares are something that everyone can relate to. Our minds can do some crazy things even when we're awake. What our minds can do in our dreams and nightmares can be really freaky stuff. Anybody who has ever had a nightmare should be freaked out by this movie.
