this be one horror movie base tv show that get it right . friday the 13th the series have no connection to the movie . poltergeist the legacy represent i be not so sure . it may have be loosely connect to the movie . it feel like they just throw a famous title on a show so fan will watch it . it show freddy be burn by the elm street parent ( in the 1st episode i believe ) and the amount of parent be disappoint . with all the kid he target in the 1st 3 movie and you would expect there to be more parent . but oh well . freddy be basically the narrator for the show . he watch the action of people in the real world sometimes get involve somehow . just like other anthology show like tale from the crypt and there a supernatural or surprise end twist involve . the act lack but believe it or not represent the violence sometimes surpass that of the movie . this show last a couple of season and be make around the time of the 4th movie . i hear it be cancel due to protest parent . i watch a lot of r rat stuff a a kid and so it a shame parent have to ruin it for everyone . 4 more movie come after the series and so it wasn not a total loss .
