40th ANNIVERSARY! Filmmaker Wes Craven's classic slasher, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, not only launched a long-running franchise but also established a studio, New Line Pictures.

Several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams - which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?
