Storyline:" At the time of the film""s release, the fictional book had surpassed 1.5 million copies sold.(Now, more than 30 million copies of the 1936 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel have been sold.) More records were set when the film was first aired on television in two parts in late 1976, and controversy arose when it was restored and released theatrically in 1998.Body Count:10 (mostly committed by either Freddy or the ""possessed"" body of Jesse Walsh).Many of the deaths of unidentified teens occurred in the pool party scene, and were the result of Freddy""s mayhem.The creative team had made other films in the previous five years that were also considered equally controversial (and challenging to the mainstream), including:The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)A Matter of Life and Death (1946)Black Narcissus (1947)TheRed Shoestale was derived - metaphorically - from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen""s disquieting and tragic children""s story of the same name published in 1845.[On the soundtrack, one can faintly detect the sound of a boy""s tricycle going over the rug-covered hardwood floor of a hotel - a foreshadowing of what""s to come.
