	Movies - Freddy's Nightmares

Freddy's Nightmares was a late-night television anthology series from 1988. A spin-off from the Nightmare on Elm Street
movies, each story was introduced by Freddy Krueger (played, as in the movies, by Robert Englund). This format was essentially the same as that employed by Alfred Hitchcock Presents, or Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone. The pilot episode was directed by Tobe Hooper.

Reviews of the series are generally mixed, but while many people considered the series to be both scary and entertaining, it was nevertheless cancelled after a relatively short period of time. The series' demise may have been played in part due to complaints concerning the violence in the series, which was featured in many other syndicated shows at the time such as War of the Worlds and Friday the 13th: The Series, both of which, like Freddy's Nightmares, were cancelled in 1990.

The series was released on home video through Warner Home Video in the early 1990's. Those videos are now out of print. In 2006, AOL has teamed up with distributor Warner Bros. Television to bring Freddy's Nightmares to its new In2TV broadband service, however, it is only available to the US and Canada.

In 2003, Volume 1 (the first 3 episodes) was released on Region 2 DVD in Ireland and the UK, by Warner Home Video. Volume 2 (and presumably the rest of the series) was also planned for release later that year, however, sales were so poor, that Warner cancelled the release of Volume 2.
