This week on Classics Corner, we feature “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” As you all know, this movie starts Robert England as Freddy Krueger. We also get introduced to this young guy, Johnny Depp that goes on to be in a few other films. 🙂 I still remember being a kid and hearing all the other kids talking about how scary it was. It’s funny how scary it can be to hear others tell you what happened in films. Many times what they think they saw or what happened in their minds are more horrifying than what really happened.

The film also stars John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Marge Thompson, Heather Langenkamp, Nancy Thompson, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Charles Fleischer, Joseph Whipp, Lin Shaye and Joe Unger.

So…how did Nightmare on Elm Street effect you? Do you still remember the first time you saw it? Please leave comments below! Thanks!

    The original Elm Street will always hold a special place in my “horror” heart. I remember as a young kid hearing my cousin come back from the theatre right after viewing, telling me about this story of a burnt man with knives for fingers, killing people in their dreams. I was too young to care about following horror movies at that time.
    Alas, when I was able to watch it on VHS once released, it was the FIRST and really ONLY horror movie to bother my sleep afterwards. I clearly remember back in 1985 as a 9 year old kid, the “idea” of this murderer stalking kids in their dreams and killing them, only it’s no nightmare. Wes Craven at his finest. Excellent original plot and the creation of one of the most popular villians of all time.
