It begins not with a nightmare, but with a lynch mob. In the spring of 1968, the parents of Springwood, Ohio, discovered that their beloved gardener and resident boogeyman, Freddy Krueger, was a sadistic child murderer. He was arrested, but a technicality set him free. The parents, led by Lieutenant Donald Thompson, took justice into their own hands. They chased Freddy into the boiler room of the old power plant and set it ablaze. Freddy died screaming, laughing even as the fire consumed him.
In the true timeline, the demon Freddy grows weak as people forget him. He resurrects Jason Voorhees (the undead killer of Crystal Lake) to cause fear in Springwood, planning to steal Jason’s terror-energy. But Jason won’t be controlled. The two titans clash in a dream-lake battle. A group of teens (including a final girl named Lori) force Freddy into the real world, where Jason beats him to a pulp. Freddy uses Jason’s mother to trick him, then stabs him. But Jason decapitates Freddy with his own machete. As the teens row away, Freddy’s severed head winks at the camera. And Jason walks out of the lake, carrying the head. The two monsters are now eternal dance partners. a nightmare on elm street all movies

Because every time you fall asleep, in that space between heartbeats, you might hear a faint scratching. A whisper of gravel and burning flesh. And a children’s rhyme, echoing down a dark hallway:
Nancy learned the terrifying truth: if Freddy killed you in your dream, you died in real life. And if you fell asleep, you couldn’t fight back. After her boyfriend Glen was pulled into his bed and exploded in a geyser of blood, Nancy refused to sleep. She rigged coffee, alarms, and a bucket of water to stay awake. But Freddy was patient. In the final confrontation, Nancy realized the only way to beat him was to bring him out of the dream. She pulled him into the real world, doused him with gasoline, and set him ablaze. For a moment, she thought she had won. But as she stepped outside into the dawn, Freddy’s car—a rusty, knife-finned monstrosity—roared past, and his claw ripped through the front door of her house. The nightmare was just beginning.
