A Nightmare on Elm Street

Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep.
When A Nightmare on Elm Street slashed into theaters in 1984, it didn’t just scare audiences, it changed horror forever.

Wes Craven’s inventive blend of supernatural terror, dark humor, and real-world teenage anxieties gave birth to Freddy Krueger, one of cinema’s most iconic villains.

A cultural touchstone of the 80s, the film redefined what nightmares could look like on screen, influencing generations of horror movies that followed. Experience the fear, suspense, and cinematic legacy that still haunts audiences today.
