Craven’s first mainstream success, besides his involvement in the movie Deep Throat, came in the form of his movie Nightmare on Elm Street. A movie about a mass murderer, played by Robert Englund, who killed children in the basement of his home, and was set on fire in that same basement by neighborhood parents. This fire-scared murderer returns as a super villain to torment and murder the next generation. Later in the movie, Englund’s Character is once again set on fire in a basement. No fire trucks show up to respond to either basement fire. Wes Craven and Robert Englund completed this movie years before the bodies of those children were discovered in the basement of Franklins house on Craven Street in England.
