Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, better stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again."

You thought the nightmares were over.... You were wrong, only this time Freddy isn't alone.

The sleepy little town of Springwood is about to witness their nightmares all over again. 1428 Elm Street is now home to Dr Edward Roberts and his 17 year old Daughter Bethany. Past stories of the Springwood slasher have long since died out, but its not over Freddy's got one last trick up those old tattered sleeves.

Freddy plans on taking what is his, dragging Bethany through the darkest parts of hell to break her. If he succeeds sweet Bethany will be reborn something dark and unnatural but heavenly beautiful. 

Who is she? That beautiful girl that haunts your dreams with the angelic smile. She is the daughter of Frederick Charles Krueger, a new generation of nightmares dressed like a daydream only this time waking up won't save you.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
