If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming...
she wont wake up at all!

A Nightmare on Elm St. was the first horror
movie I ever saw-it was at a friend's overnight
slumber part when I was about 8 years old.
Ever since I first saw this-Freddy became my
favorite horror star and every time I would go
to Blockbuster to get videos for my own
slumber party-I would get a Nightmare film.

The movie starts out with a group of teens
around 15 and 16 who are all having bad
dreams and it turns out that they are all dreaming
the same dream of the same man!

Nancy and her boyfriend Greg go to Nancy's
friend Tina's house to stay the night with her to
keep her company while her mom is out of town
because she is scared from the nightmares she
has been having.

Right as they get there they start to hear noises outside
but the sounds just turn out to be a prank by Tina's
boyfriend, Rod that has come to join in on the party.

Greg and Nancy get to listen to Tina's and Rod
having sex and then they all fall asleep.

Tina wakes up hearing a tapping sound on
the window which are being made by rocks
someone is throwing. Tina goes outside to see
who is doing it and runs into Freddy.

His face has been burned and he is wearing a
brown dirty hat and a red a green stripped
sweater, with a glove that has knives for fingers.

He is surely a sight that I wouldn't want to see in
one of my dreams.

Anyways-Tina gets killed and her boyfriend sees the
whole thing, only no one is there-and he can't do
anything to help her! Naturally the boyfriend gets blamed
for her death and when the police catch him-he
goes straight to jail.

Nancy starts to figure the whole thing out and doesn't sleep
so she doesn't get killed. Rod gets killed in the jail and
Nancy's parents get desperate with her not sleeping and all.

Nancy finds out that the reason why Freddy is after he is
because her mother and her friends are the ones who killed him!

And so Nancy comes up with a plan and sets out to kill
Freddy before he kills her. Only before this plan gets carried out
Nancy is locked in her house while across the street her
boyfriend gets brutally butchered.


How does it end? Well-I dont want to completely ruin the movie for
Anyone who hasn't seen it-I only want to ruin it halfway!=)

Sweet Dreams!
