The iconic baddie Freddy Krueger kills teenagers via their dreams in Wes Craven's franchise-launching film. Craven told Vulture that the idea stemmed from an article he read in the Los Angeles Times about a family of Cambodian refugees with a young son who reported awful nightmares.
''He told his parents he was afraid that if he slept, the thing chasing him would get him, so he tried to stay awake for days at a time.'' said Craven.
''When he finally fell asleep, his parents thought the crisis was over. Then they heard screams in the middle of the night. By the time they got to him, he was dead. He died in the middle of a nightmare. Here was a youngster having a vision of a horror that everyone older was denying. That became the central line of Nightmare on Elm Street.''

Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece is about a man who is driven to insanity by supernatural forces while staying at a remote hotel in the Rockies. The movie derives from Stephen King's book of the same name, which was inspired by the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, where plenty of guests have reported seeing ghosts.
The Stanley wasn't actually used in the movie, however, because Kubrick didn't think it looked scary enough.
