DeBord + Spectacle

As long as necessity is socially dreamed, dreaming will remain a social necessity. The spectacle is the bad dream of a modern society in chains and ultimately expresses nothing more than its wish for sleep. The spectacle is the guardian of that sleep.

How the picture relates to the spectacle is Freddy Kruger is basically the bad dream of modern society. He is chained to only the dream world where he has the power to make dreams a nightmare. His wish for sleep is the torturing of those who live on elm street because the people of that neighborhood decided to take conviction into their own hands
