Dead Man’s Chest, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) in his first feature film role, and the star
of the Nightmare series, Heather Langenkamp. In this original chilling masterpiece, Nancy
Thompson (Langenkamp) is suffering from violent nightmares about a badly burned man
wearing a glove made of knives. She quickly learns that this man – child molester Freddy
Krueger (Englund) – is also terrorizing the dreams of her friends and boyfriend, Glen (Depp). As
they begin to die one by one in their sleep, Nancy learns, that years prior, the parents of Elm
Street burned Krueger alive – and now Freddy is back to claim their children’s lives as revenge!
As the teenagers of Elm Street fight to stay awake, Nancy must save their lives and her own by
bringing Freddy out of their dreams and back into the real world to destroy him forever.
The A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET all-new, special edition infinifilmTM DVD will be
available on September 26, 2006, from New Line Home Entertainment.
