The best two entries in the “Nightmare on Elm Street” series are the ones directed by Wes Craven. This sequel rose above the pack for two reasons. First, it offers a more terrifying view of the often comical villain Freddy Krueger. Second, it shook up the series’ formula in a big way, by breaking the fourth wall and having Freddy invade the real world set of one of his movies. Consider this a prototype for 1996’s “Scream.”
