SEASON 1, EPISODE 18
THE ART OF DEATH


A student artist (Carey Scott) becomes horrified when he discovers his own
artwork becomes more and more life-like, revealing his true inner feelings toward
some fellow students, thanks to the help of Freddy Krueger. Things really begin
to take a turn for the worse when everything he draws mysteriously comes true,
with terrifying results. In addition to that, one of the artist's victims goes through
hell when she has to re-live her past entrapment and confront her worst fears.
