The house made famous by the 1984 horror movie ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ has sold in Los Angeles after being on the market for less than three months.
In the supernatural slasher film written and directed by Wes Craven, the house was depicted as being in Springwood, Ohio, but the actual street address is 1428 North Genesee Avenue in LA. The photo above is published on seeing-stars.com.
