Each episode contains two stories, of which the second story almost always revolves around characters who had a supporting role in the first story.

The only thing the stories have in common is that they, like the movies, all play in the fictional town of Springwood, Ohio. ==Background[ Edit] == The pilot episode was directed by Tobe Hooper. The series was produced by New Line Television and originally distributed by Lorimar Television.

Plans for a series on A Nightmare on Elm Street already existed since the first movie, but given the nature of the films this seemed impossible. Freddy would according to the producers probably within a few episodes have killed all key players and then the series could go no further. It was therefore decided to create an anthology series with each episode a different story and other characters. ==Cast<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Could the producers because of the low budget no known actors and actresses hiring for the series.
