"You could be a victim in your own nightmare," says Robert Englund, the man behind the bogeyman since 1984. "It's a very personal thing, your subconscious being invaded by this predator."
"But under the covers, in a way, is where Freddy gets you. ... Sweet dreams? Those don't exist in this world," says Thommy Hutson, author of Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.
"Wes knew how to write such realism, and then he has this dream landscape that is just so crazy," says Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy Thompson. "It's never been repeated in such a seamless and beautiful way."
Since its 1984 release, A Nightmare on Elm Street has transformed our relationship with sleep and fear, forever marking how nightmares invade personal consciousness.
