Earlier this month, Freddy Krueger himself Robert Englund shot a video to assure us that the COVID-19 nightmare will end eventually. As the pandemic continues, several of Englund's NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET franchise co-stars have teamed up for their own public service announcement, #StopTheNightmare.

The PSA video is embedded below, and most of it is carried by ELM STREET heroines Heather Langenkamp and Lisa Wilcox, reciting a pandemic-themed variation on the "Freddy's coming for you" rhyme. Then, once that rhyme is complete, several more ELM STREET actors show up.
