Freddy Might Be Back On Elm St.

Though the first flick was a box-office dud, the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, which followed the bloody exploits of the infamous Freddy Krueger, grew up to become a profitable Hollywood enterprise. Director Wes Craven led his blade-fingered villain through 11 flicks and into the nightmares of youth everywhere.
Now, there may be a 12th installment in the works. New Line is in talks with horror production company Platinum Dunes to relaunch the series, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
