The Big Picture When it comes to popular 80s franchises, there are none as iconic as A Nightmare On Elm Street. The series, which started with the 1984 slasher classic, made Freddy Krueger the face of the horror genre. Nightmare is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and, to celebrate, NECA has debuted two new Freddy Krueger sets that will keep horror fans up at night.
This includes a 12-inch tall Freddy Worm and Freddy TV from Dream Warriors, and both Elm Street Signs . Freddy is sold separately, but NECA has made a handful of this slasher king of the last decade . The original, Freddy’s Revenge, and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare are just to name a few. They released a Tooney Terror verison of the character as well, which is a line of horror icons styled like Saturday morning cartoons.
He was the genre poster-killer for a whole generation of horror fans. Whether it be Craven’s staple atmosphere, the realistic depiction of its horrific dreamscapes, or Heather Langenkamp’s memorable final girl Nancy Thompson, Freddy hasn’t left anyone’s nightmares. The 40th anniversary has only brought more attention to the lack of Nightmare content over the last decade.
