I don't know if this is my favorite of the series, but I want it to be.
Aside from New Nightmare, this is the most creative entry in the series. However, the execution isn't always up to snuff. I wish we could have spent a little more time with some of the characters before they got knocked off. Plus, some of the fantasy elements are a little too much (particularly Snake Freddy).
There's so much to like here, though. The story. Most of the characters. Most of the deaths. The theme song. This is also the last one in the series that is even remotely scary.
