OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
A Nightmare on Elm Street Makes Sleep the Threat Rule
The premise works because the ordinary need for sleep becomes an enemy access point. Horror pressure arrives through a rule the body cannot permanently refuse.
Why it works
The teen survival plan turns coffee, school, bedrooms, wounds, and exhaustion into one rule system. Freddy is frightening because evidence from dreams keeps changing what waking space means.
