As someone who has spent countless nights huddled under the covers, flashlight in hand, watching horror movies, I can confidently say that Wes Craven’s work has always been a staple in my Halloween viewing marathons. The release of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984 was a game-changer for me, and the terrifying Freddy Krueger became an iconic figure in the horror genre.
In 1984, Stephen King shocked an unsuspecting audience with the premiere of “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” which brought a supernatural terror to Small Town, USA. Forty years later, Investigation Discovery is set to explore real-world horrors that take place on Elm Streets everywhere in the true-crime documentaries “The Real Murders on Elm Street.”
“When a husband finds his wife and two children brutally murdered, the police start to suspect that the killer may be someone they’ve arrested before. A year ago, a troubled teenager terrorized a family for several months by hiding in the most unlikely places.”
“The Real Murders on Elm Street” is one of three upcoming true-crime docuseries from Investigation Discovery, with the initial installment being “How (Not) to Dispose of a Body,” which aired on September 4. The second series, titled “Cabin in the Woods,” focusing on crimes that occurred at secluded locations across the nation, will premiere on September 9
A Nightmare on Elm Street Was Inspired By a True Story
Like “The Shining“, Craven’s 1984 horror movie was itself inspired by a true story. The author/director got the idea to develop his classic film after reading a series of articles in the Los Angeles Times that were published in the 1970s, which told tales of refugees from Cambodia and Vietnam who were plagued by nightmares so bad they did everything they could to stay awake. Unfortunately, many died in their sleep, giving Craven the germ of the idea that would eventually become “A Nightmare on Elm Street“
One effective way of paraphrasing in natural and easy-to-read language is by using direct quotes from the source material to maintain accuracy and authenticity. In the case of Freddy Krueger, the film’s antagonist who has since become a horror icon, his character was inspired by someone from Craven’s childhood. Before his death in 2015, he regularly told the story of how, when he was a boy, he was looking out his bedroom window at night and saw an elderly man on the sidewalk outside his home. Relaying the story during the audio commentary on the Nightmare on Elm Street DVD, Craven said:
As a fan, I glanced down and spotted someone who strongly resembled Freddy strolling on the sidewalk. It seemed like he sensed my gaze and halted, staring straight into my eyes. His presence gave me a sudden chill, so I quickly retreated into the shadows. I waited impatiently for him to leave. However, after what felt like forever, I assumed he had departed. So, I cautiously moved back towards the window. To my surprise, not only was he still gazing at me but he leaned forward as if to emphasize, ‘Indeed, I am still watching you.’
One way to rephrase the given text in clear and easy-to-read language is as follows:
At present, the fate of the Nightmare on Elm Street series is uncertain. However, fans of true crimes might want to catch The Real Murders on Elm Street when it premieres on ID and Max on September 9 instead
