Now I have a story that I’d like to tell…..Gotta love D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Wes Craven’s horror masterpiece Nightmare on Elm Street was released in 1984. The story behind Craven’s inspiration for the film is mind-blowing. We will chat about the making of the film, and share some interesting facts about the cast as well. I guarantee you will recognize at least one of Freddy Krueger’s victims who became a huge star. This movie “jump” started his career.
