Overview

Teenagers in a small town are dropping like flies, apparently in the grip of mass hysteria causing their suicides. A cop’s daughter, Nancy Thompson, traces the cause to child molester Fred Krueger, who was burned alive by angry parents many years before. Krueger has now come back in the dreams of his killers’ children, claiming their lives as his revenge. Nancy and her boyfriend, Glen, must devise a plan to lure the monster out of the realm of nightmares and into the real world…

Viewing Notes

Was twitter tipped about DVD 4-Packs on sale at Target so I ran out and picked up… several. Was thrilled to get A Nightmare on Elm Street 1-4 in addition to the NOES 5-8 pack b/c I’ve been wanting to revisit all the NOES films ever since the Never Sleep Again doc was released, which I plan to watch after viewing all the films again. Today I fired up the original (& best) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Yes, it’s a little dated but still the classic in the halls of horror film.
