Thanks to Robert Englund’s iconic villain, the movie’s memorably fusion of fantasy elements and slasher horror, and its memorably Final Girl Nancy, A Nightmare On Elm Street is a rare teen horror hit that has withstood the test of time.
Released in 1984, director Wes Craven’s A Nightmare On Elm Street is one of the more fondly-remembered slasher movies from the early ‘80s.
