Writer-director Wes Craven (Scream 1, 2 and 3 ) returns to the darkest shadows of Elm Street with the cleverest, wittiest, most twisted scarefest in ages! (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone ). Winner of a Golden Scroll of Outstanding Achievement from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror, this spine-tingling tale reunites original Nightmare stars Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon as reel Freddy invades the real world with deadly results. Life imitated art during filming. Soon after shooting an earthquake sequence, the Northridge Quake shook Los Angeles. Says Craven, We were about to have rubble created for the movie, but instead, we were able to just go out and film from the streets. But dont worry, Freddy fans. Its only a movie...or is it?
