Freddy's Nightmares on AOL Televison

'Freddy’s Nightmares' might have only lasted two seasons, but for fans of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' franchise it's a must-see. An 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' for the slasher set, 'Nightmares' premiered in 1988. Each hour-long episode was hosted by Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) and told the tale of a different denizen on Elm Street being terrorized in some appropriately gruesome manner. Although fans felt the show succeeded in being both frightening and fun, its graphic violence may have led to its early cancellation. Of course, it could also have been the instantly dated special effects that included strange purple lighting whenever someone was about to get 'offed.'

Only five episodes made it to home video in the US, although 12 were released in Britain. In 1990 the show was nominated for Best Genre TV Series at the Saturn Awards (given by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films).

Now you can view 10 episodes of 'Freddy’s Nightmares' at AOL Televison online for free.
