If ever there was a television series with a clickbait title it’s this one. The Real Murders on Elm Street seems like it would tell the true story that inspired Wes Craven to write A Nightmare on Elm Street. But this show isn’t about hellish collective dreams; it’s not fantasy.
Still, it’s worth a watch. It is an interesting highly-produced true-crime series for fans who like their mysteries re-enacted, blood-spattered, and detailed. Plus, who knew that so much crime happens on Elm Streets across America? Even the Menendez brothers lived on an Elm Street.
The first episode premiered September 9 on the ID Channel (Investigation Discovery) which can be accessed through MAX. It will release another episode every Monday until October 14.
The first episode, titled, Killer in the Walls, is exactly what it sounds like: “When a husband discovers his wife and two children brutally murdered, police begin to suspect the killer is someone they’ve arrested before; one year prior, a disturbed teenager terrorized a family for months by hiding in a most unlikely place.”

About The Real Murders on Elm Street:
“This true-crime series is about small suburban towns across America that have been torn apart by murder. At the heart of the series is the central question of how in a single night, these quaint residential Elm Streets can descend from peace and tranquility into horror, senseless death and tragedy. Each episode examines a murder investigation that occurred on one of the thousands of Elm Streets across America, with each set of circumstances proving horror can happen everywhere.”
