A Nightmare on Elm Street

Witness the birth of slasher horror in this digitally remastered masterpiece of Wes Craven's "Nightmare On Elm Street". The malevolent Fred Krueger (Robert Englund) was a vicious child murderer, until he was burnt alive in his own boiler room by the local parents. They thought this was the end of his reign of terror; now it looks like the young teens of Elm Street will have to pay the price as he picks them off one by one in their dreams.

In grotesque and bone chilling surrealism that brings forth a legendary titan in horror film history, no film collection is complete without this installment of fantasy horror, as Wes Craven leaves you begging for more of the maniac known only as Fred Kruger. From 1984 to present day, this film is held above others as a true horror classic.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

Five years have passed since Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) was sent howling back to hell.

When A Nightmare On Elm Street made a killing, horror fans shrieked for more. Soon the diabolical Freddy was resurrected with a vengeance along with some of the most terrifying special effects ever to spatter the screen. Look for Robert Englund (minus his Freddy face) in the opening sequence. He's a real scream.

Their only hope is dream researcher and fellow survivor Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp of the original Nightmare), who helps them battle the supernatural psycho on his own hellish turf.

Now it's time for the ultimate showdown to find out, once and for all, who the real Dream Master is.

New Nightmare

Winner of a Golden Scroll of Outstanding Achievement from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror, this spine-tingling tale reunites original Nightmare stars Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon as "reel" Freddy invades the real world with deadly results.

Life imitated art during filming. Soon after shooting an earthquake sequence, the "Northridge Quake" shook Los Angeles. Says Craven, "We were about to have rubble created for the movie, but instead, we were able to just go out and film from the streets." But don't worry, Freddy fans. It's only a movie...or is it?
