Freddy's Nightmares (also known as A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Series) is an American horror anthology television series that aired in syndication from October 1988 until March 1990.^[1] A spin-off from the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series, each episode is introduced by Freddy Krueger (played by Robert Englund, as in the films) and features two different stories. Eight episodes throughout the series actually feature Freddy Krueger as the main antagonist. The pilot episode, directed by Tobe Hooper, begins with Krueger's prosecution on child-murdering charges.

The series was produced by New Line Television, the same producers of the film series, and Stone Television. It was originally distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures. After Lorimar-Telepictures was acquired by Warner Bros. Television in 1989, Warner Bros. assumed syndication rights.
