When I originally begun to think about looking into horror movies from a psychological perspective, it was because of Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The story is considered one of the best slasher flicks of all time. The movie revolves around Freddy Krueger, a child murderer who was eventually killed by the town’s parents after the court system released Krueger on a technicality. In an effort to get revenge, Krueger comes back from the dead to kill his killer’s children from within the children’s dreams.
