Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child’s best death scene was cut to pieces by the MPAA, depriving viewers of the chance to see Dan become one with his bike in a brutal fashion. The Nightmare On Elm Street series began adding supernatural flair to the slasher formula in 1984 when Wes Craven’s original movie was released. However, dream demon Freddy Krueger had spent two movies offing teen victims before the series truly started taking advantage of its unique premise.

In fairness to Craven’s original, A Nightmare On Elm Street featured some memorably inventive and - in the case of Johnny Depp's Glen - undeniably gory deaths. However, it was 1987’s Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors that saw the series lean into the idea that Freddy could distort the dreams of individual victims and turns their demises into a specific, personal hell. Unfortunately for viewers, shortly after the franchise started taking this route, movie censors cracked down on screen violence.
