4. Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
Wes Craven co-wrote arguably the best Elm Street sequel. This time around we found Freddy Krueger stalking a bunch of troubled kids at a local hospital ward. Freddy turns a kid into a puppet by slitting his wrists and using his veins and tendons as the string. He turns his infamous claws into syringes and injects a drug addict with an overdose. In other words, the kills are just awesome. The most memorable kill comes courtesy of the adorable Jennifer (Penelope Sudrow), a whacko kid who has dreams of becoming a big-time Hollywood actress. One night while watching television she falls asleep and the TV starts to act strange. As she approaches the TV, Freddy's arms and head pops out and grabs Jennifer and lifts her off of her feet. What proceeds is the greatest improvised line of all time, "Welcome to primetime, bitch," before he smashes her head into the TV, electrocuting her to death.
