Fear Flashbacks! – A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER cleans up at the box office back in 1988

Hard to imagine, but it was 36 long years ago today that Freddy Krueger slashed through the competition to sit atop the box office mountain yet again with A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER.

The L.A. Daily News dropped this article in late August 1988 to give the details of Freddy’s debut weekend haul of $12.8 million. That was up almost 50% from the $8.8 million he pocketed with the previous installment, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS, which opened 18 months earlier back in February 1987.

Let’s hope Mr. Krueger treated himself to a nice pedicure and facial.
