This slasher franchise got progressively more goofy over the course of the ’80s and ’90s, but the original “Nightmare on Elm Street” retains the power to chill and unnerve. On one hand, it’s got some great, gory death scenes (especially that Johnny Depp blood geyser). On the other, it’s a film all about the terror of knowing that you’re not safe in your own dreams. What’s more creepy than that?
