Wes Craven’s classic 1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street is finally arriving on Blu-ray and OnDemand April 13th, and if the Canadian release is of any indication, this transfer should look really, really good. To get you pumped, we got a behind-the-scenes clip featuring the infamous “Bugs” gag. Nancy is having nightmares about a frightening, badly-scarred figure who wears a glove with razor-sharp “finger knives”. She soon discovers that her friends are having similar dreams. When the kids begin to die, Nancy realizes that she must stay awake to survive. Uncovering the secret identity of the dream killer and his connection with the children of Elm Street, the girl plots to draw him out into the real world.
