A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master is a 1988 American fantasy slasher film directed by Renny Harlin from a screenplay by Brian Helgeland and Scott Pierce. It is the sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) and the fourth installment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film follows Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) reappearing in the dreams of Kristen Parker, Joey Crusel, and Roland Kincaid, where he uses Kristen's best friend, Alice Johnson, to gain access to new victims in order to continue his killing spree.
Following the release of Dream Warriors, series creator Wes Craven pitched his own idea for a fourth film. However, it was turned down in favor of another sequel. The Dream Master is often popularly referred to as "the MTV Nightmare" of the franchise.
