Wes Craven's signature film, A Nightmare On Elm Street was at once a critical and commercial success that managed to creatively combine horror and humor, Gothic literary motifs and slasher movie conventions, gory special effects and subtle social commentary. And it let loose a new monster in America's pop culture consciousness: That wisecracking, fedora-wearing teen killer, Freddy Krueger.
