A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) is a thrilling horror movie that has left an indelible mark on the genre. Directed by Wes Craven, this iconic film introduced audiences to the deranged serial killer Freddy Krueger, played by the talented Robert Englund. Released in 1984, A Nightmare on Elm Street quickly became a cult classic, captivating audiences with its unique and terrifying premise.

The story revolves around a group of teenagers living on Elm Street who find themselves haunted by a malevolent, disfigured maniac in their dreams. As the terrified teens start to realize that their nightmares are becoming deadly realities, they must find a way to defeat Freddy Krueger and put an end to his reign of terror.

Leading the cast is Heather Langenkamp, who portrays Nancy Thompson, a brave and resourceful teenager determined to uncover the truth about Freddy Krueger. Johnny Depp also stars in his first major film role as Heather's boyfriend, Glen Lantz. The rest of the cast includes Amanda Wyss as Tina Grey, Ronee Blakley as Marge Thompson, and John Saxon as Lieutenant Donald Thompson.

A Nightmare on Elm Street stands out not only for its terrifying story but also for its innovative visuals and imaginative dream sequences. One of the most memorable scenes involves Freddy Krueger's iconic glove emerging from Nancy's bathtub, sending chills down the audience's spine. The film adeptly blurs the lines between reality and dreams, immersing viewers in a world where nightmares can come true.

The soundtrack of A Nightmare on Elm Street, composed by Charles Bernstein, enhances the suspense and terror that permeates the film. With its eerie melodies and dissonant tones, the music perfectly captures the atmosphere of fear and horror. You can relive the spine-tingling experience by playing and downloading these sounds here.

Wes Craven's direction masterfully balances scares with psychological tension, creating an unforgettable horror movie that has stood the test of time. A Nightmare on Elm Street spawned numerous sequels, a TV series, and even a reboot, but the original continues to hold a special place in the hearts of horror enthusiasts.

Aside from its entertainment value, A Nightmare on Elm Street also explores deeper themes related to the power of fear and the consequences of suppressing trauma. Freddy Krueger represents a nightmarish embodiment of the darkness within the human psyche—an entity that seeks to exploit our deepest fears and insecurities. By facing their fears head-on, the characters in the film learn to regain control over their lives and confront their inner demons.

In conclusion, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) remains an essential watch for any horror aficionado.

A bunch of us parents tracked him down...
A canker, as he put it.
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell.
A lot might depend on this.
A nightmare now would be plus or minus five or six.
About what?
According to Shakespeare, there was something operating...
Actually, they were more like finger knives...
After they let him out.
All at once.
All day long I've been seeing that guy's weird face...
All right, I'll call the police.
All right.
All set.
All signs are normal.
Always trying to get beneath the surface.
And a red and green sweater, really dirty...
And count myself a king of infinite space...
And he uses these knives, like giant fingernails.
And hear your records at the same time?
And hearing those fingernails.
And I don't like unsolved murders...
And I got this sound effects tape from Rod
And I knew this is your neighborhood...
And I want you to be there to arrest him...
And I want you to stand... Like a sort of a guard, OK?
And if he gets me, I'm pretty sure you're next.
And if I die before I wake...
And if you can't do that, you sleep.
And it's not what you're thinking.
And Krueger was free just like that.
And made a trail of it out the door...
And may Rod Lane rest in peace.
And Nancy acting so nervous lately.
And now I lay me down to sleep.
And only I can get him.
And stop drinking that damn coffee.
And the sheeted dead did squeak and gibber...
And then what happened?
And to his mother's lies was to continually probe and dig.
And what did you do?
And you didn't get a look at him?
And you've been acting like it was something I made up?
Anything funny, like what?
Apparently, he was crazy jealous.
Are you crazy? Hit him with what?
Are you OK?
Are you still watching?
Are you there?
As a matter of fact, I had a bad dream last night myself.
As a matter of fact...
As stars with trains of fire and dues of blood...
Ashes to ashes...
At least, it works for me.
At this hour, you should be home in bed.
Attest to the scriptures' warning...
Aunt Eunice says hello.
Avoid everything happening to me by just getting good and loaded.
Back to work.
Baseball bats and bogeymen.
Beautiful.
Because he was scary, that's why!
Because he's after me now.
Because if you do, you better tell me...
Because it's just a case of me being nuts.
Because somebody cut her while I watched.
Believe me.
Beta waves are slowing.
Better lock your door.
Better lock your door.
Better lock your door.
Bitch.
Booby Traps & Improvised Anti Personnel Devices?
Bring him out of what?
But he can't get you now.
But he's burned, and he wears a weird hat...
But I heard you screaming. You were calling me.
But I sure would like to know what the hell you were doing...
But I thought it was just another nightmare...
But I told you...
But I've never seen anything like this before in my life.
But invisible ones.
But it was even worse after they caught him.
But let us recall also our Lord's admonition...
But nothing was found at the scene.
But somebody forgot to sign the search warrant...
But sometime you have to turn away, too.
But they made a horrible sound.
But what happens if they don't do that?
But you know he's dead, right?
But you'll be here to catch him?
Call me if you need anything.
Came to make up. No big deal.
Can dream about what's going to happen?
Can you do that?
Can't you catch me?
Chow, chow, chow?
Come and get me!
Come down to the cellar with me, and I'll tell you.
Come on, Frank. I'll give you a hand.
Come on, Freddy.
Come on, Krueger!
Come on, Krueger!
Come on!
Come on! Get down!
Come on. Sit down.
Come out and show yourself, you bastard!
Come to Freddy.
Countdown mode.
Cut him down.
Cuts happening...
Cutting her at the same time...
Daddy, I did it!
Daddy?
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn.
Deal?
Did I keep you awake last night?
Did they put him away?
Did you do it?
Did you ever read about the Balinese way of dreaming?
Did you ever stand on a trellis in your bare feet?
Did you get a look at him?
Did you have a nightmare, too?
Did you have any weird dreams last night?
Did you see his face?
Did you sleep?
Disaster's in the sun and the moist air...
Do you believe in the bogeyman?
Do you believe that people...
Do you know who that is, Mother?
Doctor, what's she doing now?
Don't ask.
Don't be such a smart guy.
Don't fall asleep in there.
Don't fall asleep.
Don't leave me alone with this lunatic.
Don't let him kill me, too!
Don't look at me like I'm some fucking fruitcake!
Don't tell me it's another one.
Dream skills.
Dust to dust.
Especially a lunatic delinquent like Lane.
Especially ones that my daughter's mixed up in.
Everyone's got to dream, young lady.
Everything is all right now.
Everything OK up here?
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's under control!
Excuse me.
Father abandoned, 10 years ago.
Feel better?
Feel it.
Feeling better?
Final 10 seconds.
Fine.
Fingernails?
Five, six...
Five...six...
Five...six...
Follow me!
Forget it, Tina.
Fred Krueger can't come after you, Nancy.
Fred Krueger did it, Daddy...
Fred Krueger, Mom.
Freddy!
Freddy's coming for you.
Freddy's coming for you.
Freddy's coming for you.
Garcia, I've got to see Rod Lane again.
Get inside before somebody sees you.
Get my dad, you asshole!
Get out of the way.
Get something.
Get you out.
Get yourself some sleep.
Give me that damn thing.
Give me that.
Give me the key, Mother.
Glad we don't live here, huh?
Glen, answer the phone.
Glen, not now.
Glen, you bastard.
Glen's asleep. You'll have to talk to him tomorrow.
Go on.
Go outside and watch my daughter's house.
God damn you!
God knows you need time.
God knows you need time.
Going to school today for anyway?
Gonna get you.
Gonna get you.
Gonna stay up late.
Gonna stay up late.
Gonna stay up late.
Good.
Goodness knows we've all had a lot to deal with...
Got no argument with that.
Gotta be quiet. Mom's not even asleep yet.
Grab his back, would you?
Grab his legs.
Grab your crucifix.
Grab your crucifix.
Grab your crucifix.
Great.
Gross.
Guys can have nightmares, too, you know.
Had your name written all over it.
Have a hold of the sucker when you wake me up.
He had knives for fingers.
He isn't real.
He sc****d his fingernails along things.
He was a filthy child murderer...
He's a musician type.
He's after Mother!
He's after us in our dreams.
He's been arrested for drugs, brawling.
He's dead, honey, because Mommy killed him.
He's dead.
He's in here!
He's in the john puking since he saw it.
He's not going anywhere.
He's nuts about you.
Heart rate is a little high.
Hello to you, too, Donald.
Hello, Mom?
Help me, Rod!
Help, Mom !
Help!
Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Where are you?
Her hair.
Her name was Tina Gray. It was her home.
Here's what we're going to do.
Hey, I'm not doing this.
Hey, Nancy!
Hey! Up yours with a twirling lawnmower.
Hi, Daddy.
Hi, everybody.
His life and his death...
His name's Rod Lane.
Hold it right there!
Hold it!
Hold on, baby!
Hold your horses.
Honey, you just do that.
Honey, you were tossing and turning all night last night.
Honey?
Hop in.
How can you hear what she's going to say?
How can you say I don't take her death seriously?
How could somebody be under the covers with you guys...
How could there be room on your joint for four letters?
How do you plan to do that?
How long has this been going on?
How long's it been since you slept?
How the fuck do I know?
How you doing, baby?
Hundreds of people a year get killed like that, honey.
Hurry.
I believe anything is possible.
I brought something out from my dream.
I burned it in English class.
I can save you the trouble.
I can't believe his mother's letting him spend the night.
I can't. I don't even have it on me. See?
I couldn't even see the fucker.
I couldn't go back to sleep last night.
I didn't do it! I didn't kill her, Nancy!
I didn't hear anything.
I didn't see how much you needed to know.
I don't care what you say.
I don't expect you to believe me anyway.
I don't know where she really found it.
I don't know where you really found it...
I don't know who he is...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't mean her.
I don't see why you couldn't just give me a pill...
I don't think you're crazy.
I don't want that kid hanging around with our son anymore.
I dreamed about a guy in a dirty red and green sweater.
I even took his knives.
I got him.
I got him.
I got you now!
I gotta go.
I grab the guy in my dream.
I grabbed it off his head.
I guess I just slept heavy.
I guess I should have told you about him then.
I had a hard on this morning when I woke up, Tina.
I had to.
I haven't been upstairs yet.
I heard something.
I hit my head.
I just asked you to do one thing...
I just don't feel like it anymore.
I just slipped getting out of the tub, Mom.
I just want to see if he's OK.
I knew there was something about you I liked.
I know the secret now.
I know what happened.
I know you too well now, Freddy.
I know you're here.
I know you're there, Freddy.
I know, but I'm OK, Mother.
I know.
I locked it all up.
I love you anyway.
I love you, sweetheart.
I love you, too, baby.
I love you.
I never touched her.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
I put her in your office.
I see your mom went ape at the security store today.
I take back every bit of energy I gave you.
I think that kid is some kind of lunatic.
I think there's been an accident out front.
I think we should get out of here.
I thought I'd see how you were.
I threw that filthy thing away.
I told you.
I used to.
I want my mother and friends again.
I want you to go to bed.
I was just trying to protect you.
I will, Mom.
I won't screw up.
I'd guess that what we have is just a normal girl...
I'd rather keep busy.
I'll be there in a minute.
I'll call the police!
I'll call you in the morning.
I'll call you in the morning.
I'll call your mother.
I'll get my pajamas on.
I'll go even crazier?
I'll go straight home.
I'll kill you slow.
I'll see you.
I'll sleep in study hall.
I'll turn down your bed.
I'm cool!
I'm crazy after all.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm going right back to sleep.
I'm going to get her some help.
I'm going to go and get the guy who did it...
I'm going to punch out your lights, whoever you are.
I'm going to split you in two.
I'm gonna go and look for somebody...
I'm here!
I'm here.
I'm holding the damn thing right here in my hand.
I'm into survival.
I'm just checking.
I'm not doing this.
I'm not going to hurt you!
I'm OK, Dad.
I'm OK, Dad.
I'm OK.
I'm OK.
I'm OK.
I'm so glad you guys could come over tonight.
I'm sorry for scaring you.
I'm sorry. I saw your light was on.
I'm warning you!
I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy.
I've got a crazy favor to ask you.
I've got him ! Hey, Daddy!
I've got him trapped!
I've got something better.
I've got to go to school, Mother.
I've heated up some warm milk for you, honey.
If I can't, then you can all relax...
If I'd have moved sooner.
If it kills me.
If you don't dream, you go.
If you don't mind.
If you see anything funny, call me.
In exactly 20 minutes.
In Julius Caesar.
In nature, perhaps inside human nature itself, that was rotten.
In the most high and palmy state of Rome...
In the right place...
In the Roman streets.
Incredible body hocus pocus.
Intense, huh?
Is God.
Is she asleep or awake?
Is she dreaming?
It drove us crazy when we didn't know who it was...
It even has his name written in it.
It happens all the time.
It is now 12 midnight...
It looks like the victim's boyfriend.
It seemed like he was still in the room with me.
It was as if there were four razors...
It was dark, but I'm sure there was somebody in there...
It was like...
It was so scary.
It was the worst nightmare I ever had.
It wasn't that serious.
It worked like a charm.
It's a good one, too.
It's almost midnight.
It's bright.
It's coming up on the seventh day.
It's dark in here.
It's going to be OK.
It's going to burn off soon, or it wouldn't be so bright.
It's her. She wants to talk to Glen.
It's just a nightmare.
It's just a sleep over date, Rod.
It's just as simple as that.
It's just due to anxiety.
It's Krueger!
It's my nightmare he comes to.
It's no biggie.
It's not you I don't trust. It's just...
It's nothing hard or anything.
It's OK for me to stay with him.
It's OK.
It's OK. I checked Guinness.
It's only a dream !
It's over now, baby.
It's real, Mama.
It's Rod Lane bringing Lantz down...
It's this guy.
It's too late, Krueger.
It's urgent!
Jesus Christ!
Jesus!
Jesus.
John, will you go ahead, please?
Jungle man fix Jane.
Just a dream, Ma.
Just a minute.
Just come here and break the door down...
Just come on.
Just get some sleep, Mom.
Just give me some help nailing the guy...
Just go down and look at him.
Just like I did the hat.
Just like the gravediggers...
Just meet me at my porch at midnight.
Just move away from her, son.
Just some kids drag racing outside, I think, Mom.
Just some neighbors having a fight, I guess.
Just stay awake and watch me...
Just tell me who did it. I'll go get him, baby.
Just three yards from the goal line!
Just wake me up if it looked like I was having a bad dream...
Just wake up and write it down.
Just watching.
Kids we all knew.
Kitty, kitty.
Lane is now the subject of a citywide manhunt.
Let go of my arm !
Let us out!
Let's do it.
Let's go.
Let's go. Al, Tim, get over here.
Lieutenant Thompson, I'm sorry to wake you...
Lieutenant, is everything all right?
Lieutenant, it's your daughter.
Lieutenant, look at this! A switchblade!
Lieutenant, they're waiting for you upstairs.
Lieutenant, where is she?
Like the one I had the night before.
Listen, Daddy, I've got a proposition for you.
Listen, Glen, I know who he is.
Listen, Mom. I gotta go.
Locked, locked, locked, locked.
Look, all I meant...
Looking good, girl.
Lower him.
Make it something special like a poem or a song.
Marge is just being cautious with her being all alone...
Marge. OK.
Marge. OK.
May God be with this young man's soul.
Maybe a funeral, dickhead.
Maybe I better go tell the Lieutenant.
Maybe we're going to have a big earthquake.
Maybe you don't think murder is serious.
Me and Tina got stuff to discuss.
Meanwhile?
Midnight?
Midnight.
Miss Nude America is going to be on tonight.
Mom !
Mom !
Morality sucks.
Mother!
Mother's in Vegas with a boyfriend.
My boyfriend.
My dream.
Mysteries.
Nancy said they'd had a fight.
Nancy, help me, please.
Nancy, it's Mom !
Nancy, take my word for it.
Nancy, trust your mother for once, please.
Nancy, what the hell is going on?
Nancy, you are going to get some sleep tonight...
Nancy, you're sick.
Nancy! Open the door!
Never sleep again...
Never sleep...again.
Next time you're having one, just tell yourself...
Night.
Nine, eight, seven, six...
Nine, ten...
Nine...ten...
Nine...ten...
No more fights?
No more fights.
No problem, Tina. Nancy and Glen to the rescue.
No running in the hallway.
No, I'm not crazy.
No! Mother!
No.
No.
Nobody's going to kill you.
Not anymore.
Not from what, from whom.
Not really.
Nothing.
Now do you believe me?
Now get to bed.
Now she thinks her dreams are real.
Now you die.
Now you die.
Now, you can't mess up.
Of course, Hamlet's response to this...
Of course. What's that?
Oh, and meanwhile...
Oh, brilliant.
Oh, for Pete's sakes.
Oh, God, I could be bounded in a nutshell...
Oh, God. I look 20 years old.
Oh, gross.
Oh, hi, how you doing?
Oh, I feel like a million bucks.
Oh, I wasn't listening to the tube, Ma.
Oh, man.
Oh, Mom.
Oh, my God, her arm !
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, shit.
OK, Krueger.
OK, you guys. Come on, let's go.
OK! OK! Thompson!
On the ground! Now!
Once you do that, you wake right up.
One or the other.
One thing for sure, I don't want her coming over here.
One, two...
One...two...
One...two...
One...two... Freddy's coming for you.
Open this door!
Or maybe I should grab that bottle and veg out with you.
Or what you're trying to prove.
Or where they come from.
Or you got to stop that kind of dreaming.
Otherwise, I'll sit up there and go crazy.
Otherwise, she's nicely relaxed.
Parker, get up here!
Parker, I need some help here!
Please hurry!
Please, Daddy.
Please, God
Please, Nancy, trust us.
Please, Nancy?
Please.
Police say the victim, 15 year old Christina Gray...
Pretty soon.
Real easy, like your ass depended on it.
Right home after?
Right home after.
Right, well...she's not exactly.
Right.
Right.
Rod killed Tina, and you know that.
Rod says the sweetest things.
Rod, help me!
Save me from
Screw sleep!
Screw your pass.
Security from what?
Security.
See ya.
See you.
See you.
See, I got this cousin who lives near the airport.
See? I told you you'd be feeling better.
Seven, eight...
Seven...eight...
Seven...eight...
Shacking up with three kids in the middle of the night...
Shacking up with three kids in the middle of the night...
She could dream at any time now.
She just didn't want to sleep alone.
She lived there.
She said she grabbed it off his head in her dream.
She says it's private.
She was fine before that.
She'd had a nightmare that someone was trying to kill her.
She's about three.
She's asleep now.
She's definitely dreaming now.
She's going into deep sleep now.
She's into REMs now.
She's too far gone to be able to handle this.
Shit.
Shit.
Shut up and stay there. Don't go away.
Since the murders.
Smooth.
So I could get some peace and quiet.
So I thought I'd better call you right away.
So if you have a nightmare, for instance, like falling.
So it's OK now.
So, did you ask Daddy to have the hat examined?
So, I heard you freaked out in English class today.
So, what did you dream?
Some dream, judging from that.
Somebody there?
Something he made himself.
Something like a razor was the weapon...
Something very strange going on here.
Something's wrong. It never gets this high.
Sometimes I wish you didn't live right across the street.
Sounds like a real bogeyman.
Stand by your window so I can see you.
Sure, I'll be there, sweetheart.
Take away it's energy, and it disappears.
Take away its energy, and it disappears.
Take it down!
Ten minutes and counting.
Terrific. What the hell was she doing there?
Thank God.
Thank you, nurse.
That he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
That I fall into a magic world.
That made me remember the dream I had last night.
That we judge not, lest we be judged.
That's all it is right while you're having it.
That's amazing you saying that.
That's enough.
That's impossible.
That's just not reality, Nancy.
That's much better.
That's what I'm trying to prove, Mother.
That's what I've been telling you all along.
That's what it reminded me of that old jump rope song.
That's why we were there, Mom.
That's your gift...
That's your nature.
The coroner's upstairs now, but I don't think that he's...
The door was locked from your side!
The grave stood tenantless...
The guy's sleeping like a baby.
The killer.
The killer's still loose, you know?
The lawyers got fat and the judge got famous...
The murder weapon...
The nightmare's over.
The point is that everyone has a bad dream once in a while.
The record's 11.
The same is true in a different way...
The truth is we still don't know what they are...
Then how do you know that somebody else was there?
Then I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens.
Then I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens.
Then lit the whole thing up and watched it burn.
Then you won't mind cold cocking this guy...
There was somebody else there.
There was this guy.
There's an unsolved murder...
There's four letters in my name, Rod.
There's no sign of pathology in her EEG.
There's something out there, isn't there?
There's something wrong with you.
These last few days.
They get all their art and literature from dreams.
They got this whole system they call dream skills.
They say things get really weird just before.
They say you've bottomed out...
They turn their back on it.
They turn their back on it.
They're going to kill me for sure.
They've got the fires out downstairs.
This is just a dream.
This is just a dream.
This is just a dream.
This isn't real.
This way, guys. Come down here.
This whole thing is just a dream.
This...
This'll help you sleep.
Three, four...
Three...four...
Three...four...
Time enough for me to fall asleep and find him.
Time to go, honey.
Tina and me. Glen was just leaving.
Tina, honey, you got to cut your fingernails...
Tina!
Tina...
Tina...
To keep me from dreaming.
To school.
Turn off the light.
Typical dream parameter.
Under the covers with her.
Until she really gets over the shock of this.
Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands...
Very private and very important.
Wait a minute.
Wake up!
Warm milk?
Was that their fights weren't that serious.
Watch it!
Watch out!
Watch out!
Watch out! He's under there!
Watch this.
Watch yourself. I got it.
We both come out, you whack the fucker, and we got him.
We found him in an old abandoned boiler room...
We got a fire up here, too.
We got her mother's bed.
We have reason to believe that there might be...
We play on your court.
We poured it all around the place...
We took gasoline...
We're here for Tina now, not ourselves.
We're on our way up.
