Written and directed by the legendary Wes Craven, you can’t go wrong with the original Freddy film.

It’s practically a perfect horror film, having its unique and compelling story brought to life through amazing performances from its stars.

There’s so much to love about this poster as even the tagline is fantastic. Across the world, many horror movie fans proudly have this one displayed on their walls.
