![]() ![]() Throughout the flick's four direct sequels, Freddy would become known just as much for his wisecracking hamminess as for his gory kills - but in the original film, there was nothing funny about Freddy. Directed by the legendary Wes Craven and starring Robert Englund as the deceased child murderer who continues to stalk the kids of Elm Street in their dreams, Nightmare stood apart from the glut of slasher flicks clogging multiplexes in the eighties with its incredibly inventive premise and a villain more terrifying than anything ever seen onscreen at the time. It seems like horror icon Freddy Krueger has been scaring our faces off forever, so it's easy to forget what a ferociously original property A Nightmare on Elm Street was when it debuted in 1984.
