We have all had nightmares that have disturbed us but in 1984 audiences found out what could happen if our dreams could kill us. Sleep always seemed like a safe haven but that was until Freddy Krueger was introduced. The charismatic boogeyman with spiked left hand is a truly sadistic killer who enjoys what he does maybe a little too much. Watching Glen Lantz (young Johnny Depp) getting sucked into his bed and then turned into a blood fountain lets the audience imagine what just happened. When Krueger (Robert Englund) kills Tina (Amanda Wyss) it is one of the craziest death scenes in horror history. As the camera angle alternates between what Tina is seeing Freddy do to her and what her boyfriend is seeing as his girlfriend is being turned into a bloody mess and dragged up the ceiling by some invisible force. Englund is great at performing the charismatic Freddy. There is a remake upcoming that will have someone else as Freddy, but A Nightmare on Elm Street without Robert Englund is like chocolate milk without the milk.
