It's time for a new episode of our video series The Horror Movie That Almost Was, and in this one we're digging into the treatment actor John Saxon wrote for a prequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street (get the Elm Street collection HERE). Saxon played Donald Thompson in the first Elm Street movie and part 3, Dream Warriors, and on the day Dream Warriors reached theatres he turned in a treatment for a story that would take place 15 years before the events of the original film.
To hear all about the prequel Saxon envisioned, check out the video embedded above!
