Freddy's Nightmares, the official A Nightmare on Elm StreetTV show, is now available to stream online. Freddy's Nightmares acted as an anthology series, running for two seasons between 1988-1990. Much like the Cryptkeeper in Tales From the Crypt, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) acted as the host, introducing every episode.

Select episodes were released on VHS and in the special features of certain DVD/Blu-ray collections. Because of this, horror fans have had to rely on bootleg versions of the series to view it in its entirety.
