Back To Index Nightmare On Elm Street
 Barnes & Noble A Nightmare on Elm Street, director Wes Cravens bloody and bloodcurdling breakthrough hit, spawned a successful series of sequels and launched one of the most popular movie monsters of all time: Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). The imaginative and gripping story finds spunky teen heroine Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) in a protracted battle with Fred, the razor-fingered bogeyman who terrorizes her and her friends in their dreams. Here Krueger is not yet the quipping cartoon of the later, more comedic sequels; in his debut outing he plays a straight-up demonic figure, slaughtering his prey in elaborately gory flourishes. Encompassing both childhood fears of nightmares and adult fears of random serial killers, A Nightmare on Elm Street creates an unrelenting atmosphere of tension and suspense in which our disoriented heroes are as vulnerable to attack in their own imaginations as they are in the real world. Filled with terrifying dream sequences and a deliciously confounding plot, this perennial favorite was one of the smartest and most influential horror movies of the 1980s.
