10 Awful Movies The Flash Actors Want Us To Forget

10. A Nightmare On Elm Street - Clancy Brown (Wade Eiling)

Even though horror icons like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers have been played by multiple actors, Robert Englund has remained synonymous with Freddy Kruger, since he portrayed the dream demon in every entry in the original Nightmare on Elm Street series. So, when Warner Bros announced it was rebooting the franchise, fans were skeptical. But when it was announced Freddy would be portrayed by Oscar-nominee, Jackie Earl Haley, people wanted to give it a chance.

Sadly, the dreadful reboot turned out so badly, the lead actress, Rooney Mara, strongly considered quitting acting. Even though Haley has a reputation for being the only good thing in bad movies, his performance came across as uncharismatic and generic.

One of the only good factors of this inconsequential remake is Clancy Brown, who portrays the school principal, Alan Smith. Brown plays a small role but it's pivotal, since he is the one who divulges Freddy's backstory to Nancy. Not only that, we see in a flashback that Alan was the ringleader of the gang who murdered Freddy. Brown is a terrific performer but he's not in the film long enough to justify watching it.
