Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most inventive American films of the 1980s. Its sleeper success bred a series of film sequels and a syndicated television program while its villain, Freddy Krueger, became a Hollywood horror icon for the ages. In the four decades since its release, Craven's creation and the subsequent franchise that it launched has become firmly established as a pop culture institution and a celebrated symbol of American cinema.

This book takes readers on an engrossing journey through the history, production, and themes of the Nightmare on Elm Street film series and its spin-off TV show, Freddy's Nightmares. It reveals new stories about the franchise's history and dives into some of the themes and ideas that tend to be overlooked. It contains a foreword by production designer Mick Strawn and includes exclusive interviews with cast and crew, including legendary Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund; directors Jack Sholder, Chuck Russell, Mick Garris, Tom McLoughlin, Lisa Gottlieb, and William Malone; cinematographers Jacques Haitkin, Roy H. Wagner, and Steven Fierberg; and many more.

Industry Reviews

"Wow! This is one of the best pieces of writing on filmmaking that I've ever read. Wayne really got the essence of being on that set during that time. I am astonished at his accuracy. It was a very complicated shoot with a great deal of emotion. Wayne presents an honest representation of what occurred. Very impressive."-Roy H. Wagner, ASC (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Another Stakeout, Beauty and the Beast, Party of Five, House M.D., CSI: Crime Scene Investigation)
