The franchise began with the film A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) created by Wes Craven. The franchise revolves around the fictional character Freddy Krueger, a former child killer who stalks teenagers in their dreams and kills them. His motives were to seek revenge on their parents, who had burned him alive. The original film was written and directed by Craven, who returned to co-script the second sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), and to write and direct New Nightmare (1994). The films collectively grossed over $455 million at the box-office worldwide.

Quite possibly my fav. horror franchise (it's definitely one of them) Pretty much all of them (sans the remake, which goes for everything I saw) are entertaining on some level, and some of them are really creepy. Also LOVE the creativity that goes on display with some of the dream sequences and the way they handle some plotlines. Characters are also really likeable. I know people criticize these for having small bodycounts, but we actually care whenever anyone dies, so it kinda balances out. And obviously Robert Englund as Freddy is amazing. You also get really good leads/survivors most of the time (and quite a few of the survivors are kinda surprising as well) 1 > 3 > 4 > 7 (though to be fair, I REALLY owe this a rewatch) > 5 > 6 (entertainment wise) > 2 > FvJ > 6 (qualitywise) >>>>>>>>>> Remake Favorite characters are Freddy (fav. horror killer, I think), Nancy, Rod, Joey, Kincaid, Taryn, Alice, Rick, Dan, Debbie, and Mr. Johnson Least Favorites: Rooncy, easily. Also everyone else in the remake, Lori/Will from FvJ, Yvonne in 5, Maggie from 6, and Jesse from 2.

FvJ would be higher with better humans (or at least less atrocious leads) and more Freddy for sure 4 is so underrated. It constantly gets slammed for bringing in comedy when 3 did it first
