Tänkte bara fråga om det kanske är någon som vet hur Craven fick idéen till Nightmare on Elm Street?
Om han baserade det på något eller om han kom på historien själv?
Skulle vara kul att veta :P
Står en hel del om det på wikipedia:
"[size=12=12]A Nightmare on Elm Street contains many biographical elements, taking inspiration from director Wes Craven's childhood[size=0=0].[/size] The basis of the film was inspired by several newspaper articles printed in the LA Times in the 1970s on a group of Cambodian refugees, who, after fleeing to America from Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime, were suffering disturbing nightmares, after which they refused to sleep. Some of the men died in their sleep soon after. Medical authorities called the phenomenon Asian Death Syndrome"[/size]
[size=12=12]"By Craven's account, the name had come from Craven's childhood. He had been bullied at school by a child named Fred Krueger, and named his villain accordingly. In addition, Craven had done the same in his earlier film The Last House on the Left (1972), where the rapist's name was shortened to "Krug".[/size]
