The Film

Freddy's Nightmares, also sold as A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Series, is a horror anthology spun off from the movies. New Line did not want a regular cast, since Freddy would end up killing all of them. Instead each episode has a new cast. The stories are set in Springwood, Ohio, often on Elm Street itself. Robert Englund plays Freddy as the host, much like the Crypt Keeper on Tales from the Crypt. He opens the show, pops up in bumper segments to joke about what is happening, and closes with a short, creepy epilogue.

Almost every episode tells two stories, one in each half hour. The second story usually picks up a minor character from the first. Most stories do not involve Freddy directly. They show Springwood as a town full of scandal, murder and the supernatural, with a hint that Freddy is behind the gloom.

The pilot, 'No More Mr. Nice Guy', directed by Tobe Hooper, tells how Freddy became Freddy. He has killed many children and teenagers. A police officer catches him trying to kill his twin daughters and arrests him. At the trial the judge learns Freddy was never read his rights and has to let him go. The town does not let it end there. Freddy is burned alive and comes back as the scarred killer of the movies.

In 'Sister's Keeper', a sequel to the pilot, Freddy haunts the grown twin daughters of the officer who killed him, and the sisters try to get him out of their dreams for good. Other first-season stories that put Freddy in the plot include 'Freddy's Tricks and Treats', where he goes after a college student (Mariska Hargitay) who says she does not believe in him, and the season finale 'Safe Sex', about a teen who falls for a goth girl obsessed with Freddy and then starts dreaming about him.

The rest of season one ranges widely. A fast food worker's life gets interesting after a robbery in 'It's a Miserable Life'. A game show winner's money creates worse nightmares in 'Judy Miller, Come on Down'. Young lovers Rick (Brad Pitt) and Miranda leave town and end up at a hotel run by sadistic hicks in 'Black Tickets'. A woman who can change her past is used by the CIA to stop a nuclear disaster in 'The End of the World', with George Lazenby.

Season two brings Freddy back in several stories. In 'Dream Come True' a therapist treating a boy with Freddy nightmares starts having them too, and a cameraman tries to prove whether Freddy exists. Its sequel 'Dreams That Kill' has Freddy warn the new host of Springwood Confidential off a show called 'Dreams That Kill'. In 'Photo Finish' Freddy terrorizes a struggling photographer's models (Patty McCormack) and toys with FBI agents investigating a family murder. Its follow-up, 'It's My Party and You'll Die If I Want You To', has Freddy possess a fake psychic and then crash his own class reunion to get back at the girl who stood him up at the prom.

Season two also links episodes into short arcs. 'Interior Loft' continues in 'Interior Loft - Later'. 'Lucky Stiff', about a widow chasing her dead husband's winning lottery ticket, continues in 'Easy Come, Easy Go'. 'Memory Overload' leads to 'Monkey Dreams', 'Bloodlines' to 'Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?', 'Welcome to Springwood' to 'Funhouse', 'Silence Is Golden' to 'A Family Affair', and 'Prime Cut' to 'Dust to Dust'. The last two episodes, 'Prisoner of Love' and 'Life Sentence', follow a death row escape and a prison warden testing a drug on inmates. 'Life Sentence' aired March 12, 1990 and ended the series.

Release & Reception

The pilot premiered in first-run syndication on October 8, 1988. Season one ran 22 episodes through May 27, 1989. Season two began October 9, 1989 and ran 22 more episodes until March 12, 1990. TVmaze's dates are off by a day: one day later in season one, such as October 9, 1988 for the pilot, and one day earlier in season two.

Critics were not kind. John Kenneth Muir's book Terror Television (2001) ranked it the worst horror series of 1970 to 1999, calling the stories dull, the production so cheap it looked homemade, and Englund's talents wasted. Mark Pellegrini of Adventures in Poor Taste gave it 6 out of 10. He liked 'Photo Finish' best and 'Safe Sex' least, and called the pilot a tribute to the first five films.

The series later ran on AOL's In2TV broadband service starting in 2006. Chiller aired monthly marathons of both seasons until March 31, 2011. In the UK, Zone Horror showed season one nightly at 8 PM from June 8, 2009. TV4 Guld aired it weekly in Sweden from 2010 to 2012. El Rey Network picked it up on November 3, 2015. It came to Screambox on February 15, 2022.

The 2010 documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy covers how the show came about, with interviews from its writers and directors, Wes Craven and Bob Shaye.

Deleted Scenes & Trivia

  • Syndicated broadcasts were often heavily edited for violence and sex. 'Safe Sex' lost eight minutes of explicit footage.
  • Footage cut from the series for being too graphic for TV, along with outtakes, appears on the Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy Blu-ray.

Trivia

  • Robert Englund is the only actor from the films who carried over to the series.
  • Englund directed two episodes: 'Cabin Fever' and 'Monkey Dreams'.
  • Brad Pitt plays Rick in 'Black Tickets' early in his career. Mariska Hargitay, Kyle Chandler, Morris Chestnut, Lori Petty, John Cameron Mitchell, Eva LaRue, Clifton Collins Jr., Penny Johnson Jerald and Tim Russ also appear before they were well known.
  • Shiri Appleby plays Mariska Hargitay's character as a ten-year-old in 'Freddy's Tricks and Treats'.
  • 'Judy Miller, Come on Down' was Susan Oliver's final screen appearance before her death in 1990.

  • Tom McLoughlin, director of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, directed 'It's a Miserable Life', which features Lar Park Lincoln from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.
  • Summaries of 'Killer Instinct' differ. TVmaze says a girl played by Lori Petty kills her friend with a stolen magic gem. Wikipedia says a runner played by Yvette Nipar kills her rival, played by Petty, with a stolen charm.
  • Wikipedia's series article says the pilot and 'Sister's Keeper' are the only single-story episodes. Its episode list says only the pilot is.
  • Wikipedia's episode list says the UK got a two-volume DVD set in 2003. The Nightmare on Elm Street Companion and the series article say only Volume 1 came out.
  • The UK VHS listings disagree on Saturday Nightmare Fever. Wikipedia pairs 'Saturday Night Special' with 'The End of the World'. The Nightmare on Elm Street Companion pairs it with 'Cabin Fever' and says the reissue added 'School Daze' and 'The End of the World'.
  • The Nightmare on Elm Street Companion archives the season one and season two press kits, including folders, captioned glossy photos and mounted slides.
  • The pilot's version of Freddy's burning does not match the versions shown later in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason.

Connections

  • Set in Springwood, Ohio, on and around Elm Street, the home of the film series.
  • The pilot shows its own take on Freddy's trial, release on a technicality and burning, which the films handle differently.
  • Robert Shaye's cameo continues his habit of small parts across the films, from Freddy's Revenge to New Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason.
  • Michael De Luca wrote many episodes before becoming New Line's production president during the long development of Freddy vs. Jason.

Production

New Line Cinema produced the series through New Line Television with Stone Television. Robert Shaye, Scott A. Stone and Jeff Freilich were executive producers and Gilbert Adler was producer. Lorimar-Telepictures first distributed it in syndication. Warner Bros. took over syndication after buying Lorimar in 1989, and after Warner bought New Line in 1996 it held both production and distribution rights.

New Line chose an anthology because Freddy would kill any regular cast. Freddy hosts every episode, and only a handful of stories make him the main villain. Reviewer Mark Pellegrini counted 8 of the 44 episodes as Freddy stories.

The season two press kit credits Robert Shaye and Scott Stone as executive producers, Gil Adler as producer and Greg Melton as production designer. It says the show was made in and around Los Angeles, and that season two would be 22 hour-long episodes with two stories each. Torrance High School stood in for Springwood High School, years before it was used on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Many horror names directed episodes. Tobe Hooper made the pilot, and Tom McLoughlin, Mick Garris, Ken Wiederhorn, Dwight Little and William Malone also directed. Robert Englund directed two episodes himself, 'Cabin Fever' in season one and 'Monkey Dreams' in season two. Michael De Luca, who later ran production at New Line, wrote or co-wrote many season one scripts.

Because of violence and sexual content, stations often cut episodes heavily. 'Safe Sex' lost eight minutes of explicit footage. Englund blamed the cancellation on budget cuts and bad early time slots.

The Nightmare on Elm Street Companion says AOL Television carried every episode from 2005 to 2007 and Chiller reran the series in 2007 as part of its first lineup.
