Freddy Kruger's last stand vs. the same of Michael Myers.
By now, I'm fully aware that most people don't respect the final Halloween entry.
But don't you people at least appreciate it more than the New Nightmare?
Both films are about an unstoppable killer getting mass publicity
(there's the connection you people were seeking).
The difference is that (with the exception of Busta Rhymes), Resurrection has the decency to take itself seriously.
In New Nightmare, you basically have a film parodying it's killer
(in the sense that Krueger is getting stronger with each and every film).
Freddy fared better when he was simply relying on dreams.
Also, this "film within a film" approach worked much better in Scream, in my horror opinion.
Halloween Resurrection is tough to beat: You have horny teens, suspense, and Busta Rhymes "busting up" some people.
New Nightmare: 4/10
Halloween Resurrection: 7.5/10

New Nightmare is a solid movie, and probably the best Elm Street sequel. After Part 3.
