I really love Kyle Gallner. He's an awesome actor!! I know I'm not nearly as mature as the first poster that made the "queer" remark but I'll just keep trying. By the way he's been in alot more thing's then Smallville you moron.

This could be interesting! I enjoyed the first couple of Nightmare movies when I was a teen, and Freddie has always been one of my favorite movie monsters. Jackie Earle Haley as Freddie... I can't wait to see it, I REALLY enjoyed him as the unmasked Rorschach in The Watchmen.
