Cast: Robert Englund, Ronee Blackley, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon
Freddy Krueger, a mysterious man with knives for fingers, is killing teenagers in their sleep in Wes Craven's darkly comic horror movie classic. The premise is original and the villain is iconic, but the film hasn't aged that well. Followed by half a dozen sequels and a remake in 2010. Young Johnny Depp makes a short appearance.
