Carlos Death Scene too Difficult to Watch

Sorry, but this Freddys Dead had to be 1 of, if not the worst movie of them all.

Especially worse, was Carlos's Death scene for me, which was the hardest to watch and stomach out of all NOES sequel.I actually shuffle this with Part 2, and 5 as the worst of the sequel.

While I have the 6th movie on DVD,I have to skip Carlos Death. I dont even watch this movie nor have I had time lately to re-watch some of the other NOES sequels, but Carlos Death scene was without question the most difficult to watch, of them all. Shielas Death the girl with asthma was a close 2nd, as her death also involved her disposition.

Why? simply because his Death did not involve a fantasy or Dream based on any kind of imagination or an interest he had, but rather took advanatge of his Disability. There is a big difference between the way Carlos died and the kid from part 5 who was into Comic books. Big difference like night and day. In Carlos Death scene you had to struggle yourself to watch this helpless kid, get tormented, and Mocked and antagonized by Freddy, whereas, with the kid from Part 5, you never really saw him suffer and all we saw was Freddy rip up the paper of the kid.

I really wish Carlos could have been 1 of the Elmstreet children to still be alive, or at the very least, die some other kind of death rather than using his Disability against him in his dream or nightmare.

Will from part 3 Dream Warriors also had a Disability, but even his death, was not prolonged with torture as was Carlos death scene.

Anyone care to answer.

Yeah that was a bit too sadistic, his head being blown off from Freddy scraping his knives on the chalkboard is a bit too much, Freddy was a sadistic sob!

I understand that this NOES Movie needed a gruesome Death, because I thought the others in this film were very Lame, but I would still put this Death of Carlos on top and above the rest from every other season and in every category, it was Pure Horror, Sadistic, sick, there was some blood involved, Torture, there was antagonization and Vile in how much Carlos had to deal with as compared to some other Deaths in the other sequels. As if the Physical pain Carlos had to go through was not enough, Freddy also Mocked him when he couldn't hear anything and antagonized the poor kid as well.

As Bad as Glens Death or say Marks in 5 was that their Physical Death did not seem as though it lasted nearly as long as that of Carlos. I would say Phillips in 3, Dans in 5, Debbies 4, Shielas 4, Rons 2 and Grettas 5 were all Deaths which could come close to Carlos Death in the category of most Sadistic and vile and Prolonged Deaths. All their Death scenes didn't exactly just last a couple minutes or few seconds either, like Wills from 3, Kincaids 4, even Nancy's in 3, and so on. Id rather get Freddys Claw to my chest than have my Death be dragged out like the above Deaths I listed.

The reason I separate Carlos from everyone else, and Shiela to an extent was because both had Physical Disabilities or medical conditions which Freddy actually used to Kill them. To me, that's very vile.

Actually, come to think of it, it would have been interesting had Carlos had some fascination with Roller Coasters and rides at either an Amusement Park or Carnival, since the group went to the Springwood Fair. If someone was to die at the Springwood Fair, Freddy should have appeared as a Ride operator and messed with Carlos Ride. That would have been something to add since all we were treated to was Tom and Roseanne Arnold.

The part with the cotton bud/Q-tip going through his ear to the other side was truly disgusting, I agree his death was really harsh and sadistic, he was the most likable character in the movie imo
