Nightmare on Elm Street is based on a "real" story. The story goes that Wes Craven was in a coffee shop reading the newspaper when he stumbled upon a story. A boy was afraid to go to sleep because of nightmares. He tried to stay up. He failed. His dad found him the next morning, dead, with four razor-type slashes on his chest. Police officials said that the wounds were not self inflicted, nor was there any sign of a break-in.
