- TriviaAs a child, Robert Englund was anxious to see a Western movie at a friend's birthday party, but he and his friends ended up watching The Bad Seed (1956) due to a mix-up at the theater. He said that for years, he was frightened of girls with pigtails. In the episode Photo Finish (1989), he gets to face-off with Patty McCormack, the lead actress of the film that frightened him so much.

Not as bad as they say. . .
I remember the Freddy's Nightmares series very well (and recently looked into some videos that were released years ago). True, they did sell out after the third movie and turned Freddy into a cartoonish character, but the cartoonish character was perfect for the small screen. The first episode, "No More Mr. Nice Guy," mistells the story in every way (you'd think Tobe Hooper would've watched the first movie before he shot the episode), but after the show took off, the stories became more entertaining. The sequel to "Mr. Nice Guy," "Sister's Keeper," was one of my favorite episodes (though I haven't seen it in years). Some shows had little-known guest stars (such as Brad Pitt) and some featured old favorites (such as Tony Dow). Most Elm Street fans say this show was a huge disappointment (and in a way it was), but it gave Freddy another medium to wreak havok in, so I applaud their efforts.
