EPISODE 4: FREDDY'S TRICKS & AND TREATS- ***

Writers- Alan L. Katz & Gil Adler (Tales from the Crypt)

Director- Ken Wiederhorn (Return of the Living Dead 2)

This episode is most notable for starring Emmy winner Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order: SVU; this is one of the Freddy episodes and it has him tormenting Marsha (Hargitay) who is a young medical student; the 2nd half has Zack (Darren Dalton) recording Marsha's dreams, but rather than help he's out to exploit her and further his career. This episode was a bit of a letdown seeing as it's a Freddy episode; Mariska Hargitay is one of my favorite actresses, but here she's early in her career and not given a whole lot to work with; decent episode, but could have been better; Shiri Appleby appears as young Marsha.
