A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most well-known horror movie franchises of all time, and has been scaring audiences ever since the original movie debuted in 1984, over 40 years ago.

The movie follows the iconic blade glove-wielding boogeyman Freddy Kreuger, who murders his victims in their dreams, causing them to die in the real world as well.

The movie spawned a ton of sequels, as well as remakes and even a meta-sequel. Some of them have proven to be worthy of a watch, while others aren’t quite as beloved by horror enthusiasts.
