It's Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, And here he is, Freddy Krueger, the phantom fiend with razor-sharp fingers. This trendsetting first of the slash-hit series is directed by Wes Craven (Scream flicks). The idea is simple: Freddy (Robert Englund) stalks the Elm Street teens as they sleep. The effects are both horrifying and astoundingly inventive. There's also Johnny Depp, who makes his cinematic debut. He portrays the hottie mcsmarty (Heather Langenkamp), who devises a cunning plan to flambé the devil. But Freddy, the never-say-die character, will be back for more... Even a killer 2010 remake of this devilish original brought him back to the screen. Sweet slumbers!
