A Nightmare on Elm Street

"One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You, Three, Four, Better Lock Your Door

Five, Six, Grab A Crucifix, Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again"

Someone is murdering the sleeping teenagers of Springwood, Ohio. If they die in their dreams, they die for real, but how can they survive if they have to stay perpetually awake? Who is stalking the children, and what is the dark secret that's been buried within the community around Elm Street?

A huge hit on release, A Nightmare on Elm Street helped to redefine the slasher genre and gave birth to a wholly new monstrous creation in Freddy Kreuger. It's both creepy and gory, with unsettling shifts between reality and dream worlds and is rightly regarded as one of the best horror films of all time.

A Nightmare on Elm Street will be presented by The Evolution of Horror, who will also be recording a live podcast episode as part of the screening.

The Evolution of Horror is a weekly podcast in which Mike Muncer, the host, explores the history of the horror genre by delving into particular sub-genres across several weeks. each episode Mike is joined by a different guest: a critic, filmmaker or expert, to discuss a particular film in depth, to look at its place within a sub-genre and its impact and legacy on cinema history.
