A Nightmare On Elm Street films were having a huge cult following and because of it's population a TV series arose in the same vein as Tales from the Crypt. Like the Cryptkeeper Freddy Krueger hosted a different story happening on Elm Street .each week. He shows us a tale of evil and death about the lives of people who live on Elm Street and he wasn't necessarily the one responsible for all of it. However, the pilot episode called "No More Mr. Nice Guy" shows the prequel of when he was a human being and was killing the children at his boiler room and when the parents burned him alive and made him a nightmare killer. In every episode the first half hour centers around a situation and then goes to another subject but it's still taking place in the story alltogether. Many cult actors have guested in the show including Lar Park Lincoln (Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood). The show aired on October 9, 1988 for two seasons. It became widely popular for kids in Elementary School and Junior High and ran every later at night cause of the fact it may scare much younger viewers. I believe the show advised viewer discretion before the show aired in case parents of kids were worried of what their kids were watching. The plug was pulled on March of 1990 but copies of some episodes are still available.
