Two Black and White Photos

These photos are both from the book The Nightmare On Elm Street Companion. The first is a behind the scenes shot of Robert Englund in full Freddy costume and makeup with director/writer Wes Craven in the rotatable room set used for Tina's death scene. The second is a closeup of Robert Englund wearing a stunt glove. There was only one "hero" glove built for A Nightmare On Elm Street, and stunt gloves like the one pictured were used for filming scenes when the full copper and steel hero glove could have been damaged or when it would be dangerous to use around the actors.
