Stream ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ Before It Leaves Netflix
Looking to boost your “Summerween” celebrations this summer? Then you may want to stream A Nightmare on Elm Street movies on Netflix. The horror classics are only available for a limited time, however.
6 ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ movies leave Netflix in June 2024
June 2024 offers streamers their final chance to watch the first five A Nightmare on Elm Street movies and the 2010 remake on Netflix. The streaming service will drop the collection on June 30.
That means time is running out to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989), and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
Robert Englund plays Freddy Kruger in the five original films from the ‘80s. Along the way, he crosses paths with Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, Patricia Arquette, and Lisa Wilcox.
Actor Jackie Earle Haley played Freddy in the 2010 reboot. Rooney Mara, Kellen Lutz, and Connie Britton appeared in supporting roles.
More ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ movies could be on the way
While A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Netflix run may be coming to an end, the franchise reportedly could continue on the big screen.
In 2019, rights to the franchise reverted back to the estate of original director Wes Craven. The estate announced plans to continue Freddy Kruger’s story in future films. Pitches for a TV project were also rumored.
Previously, actor Elijah Wood and his producing partner Daniel Noah expressed doing something with the character. The duo revealed they’d been in contact with the rights holders over the years, but nothing materialized from what they claimed would be a different take on Freddy Kruger.
Doctor Sleep writer/director Mike Flanagan also voiced his interest in helming a Nightmare on Elm Street project. In 2019, he tweeted that he had a pitch ready to go.
The Elm Street fan base is definitely eager for more of the dream-invading serial killer. Fan-made trailers for a Nightmare on Elm Street 2025 movie have imagined Millie Bobby Brown and Jenna Ortega as scream queens going against Freddy. Still, no rumors have surfaced about who could play Freddy Kruger next.
Until something official is announced, Netflix remains where to stream A Nightmare on Elm Street. That is, until June 30, 2024.
