A Nightmare on Elm Street

"Oh, God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space were...

Teacher:

[during one of Nancy's classes]
What is seen is not always What is real. According to Shakespeare, there was something operating in nature, perhaps inside human nature itself, that was rotten. A "canker", as he put it. Now, of course, Hamlet's response to this and to his mother's lies was to continually probe and dig. Just like the gravediggers, always trying to get beneath the surface. The same is true in a different way in Julius Caesar. John, will you go ahead, please? John, Kid in Classroom:
[John stands in front of the class and reads from his textbook]
"In the most high and palmy state of Rome, a little ere the mightiest Julius fell. The grave stood tenantless and the sheeted dead did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets." [Nancy dozes off] John, Kid in Classroom:
"As stars with trains of fire and dues of blood disaster's in the sun and the most air upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands..." [his voice drowns out, Nancy opens her eyes to a voice out in the hallway and she looks over to see that it's Tina standing inside a bloody body bag calling her name, John's voice returns and in a more sinister tone] John, Kid in Classroom:
"Oh, God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space were it not that I have bad dreams."

Teenagers in a small town are dropping like flies, apparently in the grip of mass hysteria causing their suicides. A cop's daughter, Nancy Thompson, traces the cause to child molester Fred Krueger, who was burned alive by angry parents many years before. Krueger has now come back in the dreams of his killers' children, claiming their lives as his revenge. Nancy and her boyfriend, Glen, must devise a plan to lure the monster out of the realm of nightmares and into the real world...
