Freddy is on his way to get you in two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, And here he is, the phantom devil Freddy Krueger, in all his razor-fingered obnoxiousness. This trendsetting debut of the slash-hit series is directed by Wes Craven (Scream). The premise is straightforward: Freddy (Robert Englund) stalks the Elm Street teenagers' dreams. The end effect is both horrifying and groundbreaking. In addition, Johnny Depp makes his feature debut. He portrays the hottie mcsmarty (Heather Langenkamp), who devises a cunning plan to flambé the devil. Freddy, on the other hand, is never one to give up... This devilish original was even remade in a lethal 2010 version. Good night!
