Beschreibung

Horror-Anthologieserie, in der – ähnlich wie bei „Geschichten aus der Gruft“ – jede Woche eine Horror-Kurzgeschichte präsentiert wurde. Der aus der Horrorspielfilmreihe „A Nightmare on Elm Street“ (“Nightmare – Mörderische Träume“) bekannte Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) führte als Präsentator in jede Folge kurz ein, spielte aber – außer in der Pilotfolge – in den einzelnen Geschichten nicht selber mit. Die Serie, die – ganz wie die Filmreihe – auf ein jugendliches Publikum zugeschnitten war, wurde in Deutschland nie im Fernsehen gezeigt. Einige Folgen wurden aber auf VHS veröffentlicht und in den Handel und Videotheken gebracht.
