Kicking off the Nightmares series! Featuring Freddy Krueger and your favorite characters from the Nightmare on Elm Street film series! And if you think this issue is terrifying...wait until you read issue #2!

Nightmares on Elm Street is a six-issue comic book limited series set within the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, set chronologically between A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989) and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991). It was written by comic book writer Andy Mangels and published bimonthly throughout 1991 and 1992 by Innovation Publishing. The first two issues revolves mainly around Nancy Thompson's fate following her murder by Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, while issue three through six deals primarily with the return of Alice Johnson and her son Jacob to Springwood. The comics are considered to be canonical to the franchise.

In December 2018, Leslie Johnson said the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street is still in development, but New Line Cinema is more focused on The Conjuring Universe:

"It's still happening. Nothing is percolating just yet. The Conjuring universe is sort of first and foremost on [New Line Cinema's] horror burner. Everybody wants to see Freddy again I think, so I think it's inevitable at some point".

In September 2019, Bloody Disgusting reported that the film rights were reverted to Wes Craven's estate. The site also revealed in November that the estate had begun work on resurrecting Freddy, as they were actively taking pitches for a new Nightmare on Elm Street film. They were reportedly looking for both feature film pitches and concepts for a possible HBO Max series, with Robert Englund reprising his role as Freddy Krueger.
