Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is having grisly nightmares. Something monstrous wants to kill her. Meanwhile, her high school friends, who are having the very same dream, are being slaughtered in their sleep by the hideous fiend of their shared nightmare. When the police ignore her explanation, she herself must confront the killer in his shadowy realm.<\/p>\n
Featuring John Saxon (Enter the Dragon<\/em>) and Johnny Depp in his first starring role as well as mind-bending special effects, this horror classic gave birth to one of the most infamous undead villains in cinematic history. Reportedly naming Freddy Krueger after a kid who had bullied him in school, writer-director Craven hatches a shock-fest that “goes straight to the heart of terror” (Seattle Times<\/em>).<\/p>\n \u2014 DVD Sleeve Summary-\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n Release Date: November 9, 1984 Aspect Ratios<\/strong> Budget: $1,800,000 (Estimated) \n Taglines<\/strong> International Release Dates<\/strong> \n \n \n \n A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em> Navigation<\/strong><\/p>\n \n
