#4 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

When Wes Craven was coming up with the idea for A Nightmare on Elm Street, he looked to a newspaper article about a children dying in their sleep. Although this was a tragedy, Craven took notice that all the children were claiming to have horrible nightmares leading up to their deaths. Freddy Kruger was born this day.

Freddy Kruger has haunted my dreams for decades, and I know that he will haunt yours. What scarier of a monster could you concoct than a burned-alive child murderer, who comes back from the grave to kill more children in their nightmares. If that is not enough, he wields a glove with knifes for fingers, that allow him to slash his way through your dreams. This is the horror film series that made Wes Craven a household name. So, sleep tight, if you dare…
