Freddy's Nightmares (Unreleased 1980's TV show)

Due to the immense success of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, a tie-in TV show was released in 1988 and ran until 1990. The show was well known for its dark storylines and sometimes very graphic violence.

Each episode was introduced by Fred Krueger, played by Robert Englund, and had him as the main villain of the show in a few episodes, including No More Mr. Nice Guy and Sister's Keeper, which were one long story.

The first season of the show was given a DVD release in the UK but since there was a lack of interest, they never released the other seasons in the UK or any of them in North America. Episodes uploaded to Youtube get taken down very quickly, and the only recordings of most of the episodes are off old VHS tapes, obviously taken straight off the TV (many have the commercials left in). Most of the 44 episodes have become pretty much impossible to find, and unlike the 1990's Friday the 13th TV show, it hasn't had many releases. Only short clips of the show have survived New Line's purge of Youtube and other video sites, and the relative obscurity of the show in recent years (it was aired before Elvira's show, so it was on pretty late) hasn't helped much.

No American TV stations run the show anymore and only one network in Sweden is known to still air it.
