He looks like the disfigured (wheelchair bound) guy from Hanibal. Not that scary at all!

Even though I've been dreading this movie's treatment of the franchise, I actually prefer the new make-up if this is how it looks. When I was little, and found out how burnt people really looked, I was surprised to find out they looked nothing like Freddy. He looked more like a male witch, now that I think about it.

I think it's because that ups the scary element. If he just had his normal face, it wouldn't be as nearly terrifying.

I'm about 70positive/30negative on this makeup design. Since this IS a reboot with a new production team and cast, of course they are going to have to introduce something new to go along with a story already seen before. The idea of showing us Freddy prior to being burned is a cool idea, and thus creating the makeup to look like an authentic burn victim makes sense here, as a person's defining features are gone after being burned that badly. So there's the 70 percent. The remaining 30 wonders why it's necessary to make an authentic burn look for a boogeyman who haunts you in your dreams (in your dreams reality is altered anyway)…
