Freddy Krueger’s Famous Nursery Rhyme, Explained
Wes Craven’s chilling masterpiece, “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” is a cherished series in the horror genre, with its notorious slasher antagonist, Freddy Krueger (portrayed by Robert Englund), being equally adored. Despite the fact that it has continued to captivate audiences for 40 years since its initial release, it’s hard to imagine that Craven faced difficulties getting the project off the ground. Major studios initially rejected the concept, arguing that viewers wouldn’t find dreams frightening enough. Fortunately, New Line eventually agreed to produce the film, thus birthing one of the most memorable horror franchises.
