These Are The Absolutely Bloodiest “A Nightmare On Elm Street” Deaths That Made You Afraid To Go To Sleep October 10, 2017

a nightmare on elm street deaths

Any true horror fan knows Wes Craven. And if you know him, you know his most famous villain: the nightmare-stalking burn victim with knives for fingers, Freddy Krueger. So we rounded up the most epic A Nightmare on Elm Street deaths of all time. Because we just love tendon marionettes and fused motorcycle people. Sweet dreams…

There’s nothing quite like knives through the chest to interrupt a nice, quiet bus ride home. Kerry’s death was simple, classic horror, before Freddy got too “out there” with his kills. Think of it as the “Elm Street” version of the classic “Alien” chest burster.

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors." HOW SHE BITES IT: Stabbed and gutted.

Nancy was the main protagonist in the first “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movie, and she later returned for “New Nightmare.” In between, though, she did her best to help other Freddy victims locked in a psychiatric hospital. But try as she might, she would never be a match for the gloved killer.

THE MOVIE: "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." HOW THEY BITE IT: “Prop” glove to the throat.

“New Nightmare” may not be canon, but it’s still f---ing awesome in that it was Wes Craven being meta before he made his meta masterpiece “Scream.” Chuck and Terry were the first to die – for real – and set up the idea that literally no one was safe from Freddy on camera or in the real world.

Spencer Lewis

THE MOVIE: "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare." HOW HE BITES IT: Sucked into a video game and thrown into a pit at the bottom of the stairs.

At some point in the franchise, Freddy’s kills became more and more… creative? Spencer’s was one of those that went straight into ridiculous territory. It was also rife with product puns (“Now I’m playin’ with power!”), but remains epic for its laugh factor alone.

Jennifer Caulfield

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors." HOW SHE BITES IT: Head bashed into TV screen.

Poor Jennifer. The girl just wanted to watch some trashy TV and wound up being the star of her own horror talk show. Ever the king of one-liners, Freddy gives us, "This is it, Jennifer: your big break in TV!” before actually breaking her.

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master." HOW SHE BITES IT: Arms broken off and transformed into a cockroach, then smashed inside a roach motel.

Debbie’s death makes less sense than Spencer’s video-game fiasco, going from everyone’s worst weightlifting nightmare (her elbows break off under the weight of the barbell) to everyone’s other worst nightmare (cockroaches). But, sure. We’re gonna go with it, because nightmares.

Mark Davis

THE MOVIE: "Freddy vs. Jason." HOW HE BITES IT: Set on fire before being slashed across the face.

In a movie where two of the most epic slasher villains go after teens and each other, Mark winds up being the only actual Freddy victim. As much as we may hate pools of blood changing into snakes, we would hate being used as a torched human Post-It more.

Sheila Kopecky

THE MOVIE: "The A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master." HOW SHE BITES IT: Literally sucked into oblivion when Freddy kisses her.

“Wanna suck face?” will 100 percent go down as a top Freddy Krueger one-liner, and Sheila’s death will 100 percent go down as the most disgusting death in “Nightmare” history. Seriously, we would rather be turned into smushed cockroach than ever have to make out with Freddy.

Dan Jordan

[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id="RTK_K67O" mobile_id="RTK_5yk0"]

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child." HOW HE BITES IT: Body fused with motorcycle and crashed into oncoming truck.

Dan definitely felt the need for speed, so much so that he actually became some sort of motorcycle cyborg. His death was like if James Cameron had decided there wasn’t enough in the “Terminator” budget for both Arnold Schwarzenegger and his bike, and just threw his hands up and said, "Screw it."

Greta Gibson

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child." HOW SHE BITES IT: Force-fed her own internal organs and suffocated.

In some cultures, intestine is a delicacy. In the “Nightmare on Elm Street” universe, it’s considered torture. To each their own, we guess.

Julie

THE MOVIE: "Wes Craven's A New Nightmare." HOW SHE BITES IT: Glove in the back, dragged up the wall to the ceiling, neck snapped.

Julie was just trying to be a good babysitter. She didn’t even have anything to do with Freddy Krueger aside from being hired to watch his great nemesis’ kid. And what did she get for her trouble? A bloody trip to Deathsville, that’s what. 0/10 would not recommend this nanny service.

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors." HOW HE BITES IT: Turned into a human marionette and pushed out a window.

Just the thought of having tendons pulled from our arms and legs and used as puppet strings is enough to make us want to vomit. Seeing it on screen nearly pushed us over the edge... Get it? Because Phillip was pushed from the edge of the hospital? Good night!

Tina Gray

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street." HOW SHE BITES IT: Slashed, dragged across the wall and ceiling, and dropped.

Tina has the distinction of being the very first teen to die in “Elm Street,” so you can bet her death is a memorable one. From Freddy’s creepy outstretched arms in the alley to her excruciatingly bloody rag-doll treatment, it’ll forever be considered a top slasher death.

Glen Lantz

THE MOVIE: "A Nightmare on Elm Street." HOW HE BITES IT: Pulled into mattress, causing a blood geyser to drench the room.

Glen met his demise in one of the bloodiest scenes to ever grace ‘80s horror. Although we never actually see his death, the fountain of blood that replaces his sleeping body and douses the walls is enough to leave a lasting impression on fans. Nope. Def not sleeping.
