The new remake of “Nightmare on Elm Street” has just hit a theater near you, and we are particularly excited about the return of the only villain with enough swag to rock the fedora and the melted face together.

The throwback horror flick is based on the premise that a few haunted teens are tortured by uber-scary clawed villain-Freddy Kreuger-in their dreams; the effects of which (ie death and or mutilation) carry over into real life.

In honor of the return of Freddy, we have composed a complete guide for how to be villain. If you are so inclined, take notes just in case an opportunity to take over the world or a few nightmares ever presents itself. Hey, you never know.

We recommend these:

Jason Mask

$8.99

Fake Mustache

$5.00

Black Cloak

$48.00

There you have it. You are now well on your way to being a villain. If you need a few more pointers, watch Freddy do his G thing in the trailer for “Elm Street.”

Freddy Krueger returns for another round of slicing-and-dicing

You knew this day was coming.  After Jason Voorhees was given a 21st century makeover, it was inevitable that his fellow ’80s horror icon Freddy Krueger would get the remake treatment.  So next April, prepare for an all-new Nightmare on Elm Street, produced by Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes outfit–the same company behind the remakes of Friday the 13th, The Hitcher and The Amityville Horror.  Taking over the iconic role from the beloved Robert Englund is Jackie Earle Haley, who recently cracked skulls as the anti-hero Rorschach in Watchmen and a whole crew of interchangeable young actors have been cast as Freddy’s teenage victims.  Look for A Nightmare on Elm Street Version 2.0 in theaters on April 30, 2010.
