A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - 40th Anniversary

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - 40th Anniversary

Directed by Wes Craven | 91 min | USA | 1984

Starring: Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Johnny Depp, and Robert Englund as Freddy

"One, two, Freddy's coming for you. / Three, four, better lock your door. / Five, six, grab your crucifix. / Seven, eight, gonna stay up late. / Nine, ten, never sleep again".

And with that simple rhyme, one of the biggest horror franchises of all time was born. Before Freddy became the wisecracking superstar slasher found in Nightmares 3, 4, and 5, the 1984 original was a truly terrifying introduction to a twisted child killer and urban legend come to life.

While dream demon Fred Krueger terrorizes the slumber of Nancy Thompson and her circle of friends (including a very young Johnny Depp!), Nancy's police officer father (played by the late, great John Saxon) tries to get to the bottom of these mysterious killings. 

Join us for a special 40th anniversary screening of Wes Craven's influential and game-changing classic!
