Tram[]

As the trams were making their way to the Marelot, a video displaying the story of Freddy Krueger played:

"And now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep, and if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take."

"Since the dawn of civilization, man has been plagues by nightmares. In medieval times, nightmares were believed to be the dark vocation of Incubi, demon-like creatures that preyed on sleeping souls.

Today the source of nightmares is still shrouded in mystery, though the characteristics are well documented. Many people experience re-occuring nightmares like the sensation of drowning, running from some unknown threat, being late for class, or even envisioning one's own death. One urban legend holds that if you die in your sleep, you die in real life.

That was the premise of A Nightmare on Elm Street, the ultimate cinematic expression of nightmares. A Nightmare on Elm Street introduced the world to a new kind of horror: Freddy Krueger, a supernatural serial killer, who preys on sleeping victims, killing them in their dreams.

What is less known is that the story was inspired by true events. Starting in the late 1970s, seemingly healthy young adults started dying in their sleep. The medical community was unable to determine the cause of death. But there was one common thread: all of the victims died while in the thrills of a nightmare. Since that time, over 100 such cases have been reported. The cause of death remains a mystery.”

Guests were then dropped to a dream version of the Backlot where Freddy Krueger and his minions were loose.
