Created by Wes Craven in 1984, A Nightmare On Elm Street is not only considered a quintessential watch by horror fans worldwide, it also stars one of the most recognizable bad guys in the genre: Freddy Kruger. If his visage didn't instantly pop into your head, my acrid acolytes, you must've been living in a cave since the seventies! There are nine movies in the franchise, including a crossover with Friday the 13th and a re-boot of the original in 2010. There are rumours that New Line Cinema will be doing another re-boot for 2019, but no official statement has been released. A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise doesn't just end with movies, however.

It had 44 episodes and ran from 1988 to 199
