    Returns on a Digitally Remastered Infinifilm™ DVD Available September 26, 2006, From New Line Home Entertainment

    LOS ANGELES, CA (June 19, 2006) – One, two, Freddy’s coming for you! As one of the most frightening horror film slashers of all time, Freddy Krueger established his legacy in eight feature films, a television show and an innumerable body count. Now, the film that started it all, A Nightmare on Elm Street, is available in an all-new, special edition infinifilm™ DVD, available on September 26, 2006, from New Line Home Entertainment. Go back to the beginning, where the horror began for the children of Elm Street as they fight to never sleep again in fear of being murdered in their dreams. Stay awake to experience chilling infinifilm™ Beyond-the-Movie™ bonus features including an “All-Access Pass” to behind-the-scenes documentaries, feature-length audio essays with director Wes Craven (Red Eye, Scream trilogy) and Robert Englund, and interactive features including video clips from the cast and crew. Starring Robert Englund (A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, Freddy Vs. Jason) in the legendary role of Freddy Krueger, Johnny Depp (the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) in his first feature film role, and the star of the Nightmare series, Heather Langenkamp, the A Nightmare on Elm Street infinifilm™ DVD will be available at a $26.99 SRP, and the order due date is August 22, 2006.
    Nancy Thompson (Langenkamp) is suffering from violent nightmares about a badly burned man wearing a glove made of knives. She quickly learns that this man – child molester Freddy Krueger – is also terrorizing the dreams of her friends and boyfriend, Glen (Depp). As they begin to die one by one in their sleep, Nancy learns, that years prior, the parents of Elm Street burned Krueger alive – and now Freddy is back to claim their children’s lives as revenge! As the teenagers of Elm Street fight to stay awake, Nancy must save their lives and her own by bringing Freddy out of their dreams and back into the real world to destroy him forever.
