Plot
After having sex with her boyfriend, a woman is shocked when he transforms into Freddy Krueger, who she mistakes for Edward James Olmos. Freddy seduces the woman with his glove, which has vibrators affixed to the fingers.
At the second annual Elm Street High School reunion, three women discuss how all their classmates have mysteriously died. The sex ed professor appears and corrects them, explaining that their classmates fell into orgasm-induced "pleasure comas" while they slept. The professor theorizes it is the work of Freddy, a sex toy salesman who sold overpriced and shoddy merchandise. Angered by Freddy's defective products, the townspeople set him on fire, with the professor throwing the first match ("That guy sold me a crappy toy. Told me it was a Fleshlight. It turned out just to be a flashlight"). Freddy burnt from the waist up, and as he died he swore he would get his revenge on his killers through their children. The professor is dumbfounded by the girls failing to remember this (they witnessed Freddy's burning, and attended the block party celebrating the event) and warns them not to fall asleep.
At home, Betty tries to keep herself awake by watching the porno Dead Man Fucking, but the video turns into one showing Freddy having sex with a female guard in a prison cell. When Freddy finishes with the guard he attacks Betty, but she wakes up. At the school, Betty tells the others about her nightmare, and the professor admits he once had a dream about Freddy ("It's not gay") where he saw Freddy's glove long enough to allow him to create a replica of it. Thinking the copy can help them find Freddy's weakness, the professor gives the glove to Kami. Kami masturbates into unconsciousness with the glove, and is rendered comatose by Freddy.
While the professor takes Kami to a hospital and Betty goes home, Denise stays behind ("If I learned anything from horror movies, it's that the psychotic fictional horror villain never goes for the hot girl in a room that's dark when she's all alone and most vulnerable"). Hearing noises coming from her old textbook, Denise flips through the book, and sees herself and the professor having sex in them. Denise is transported into the book, and when she and the professor finish fornicating, the professor turns into Freddy, and he puts Denise into a coma.
Fed up with living in fear, Betty goes to sleep, and confronts Freddy in her dream. The two have sex, and when Freddy tries to put her into a coma afterward, Betty reveals she stole his glove's batteries ("Now all you have to turn those girls on is that burnt face, and that 1980s sweater"). With Freddy robbed of his power, Betty wakes up, wonders if it was all just a dream, and discovers her underwear is soaked through.

Sensible."[8] Another article in WhatCulture by Simon Gallagher criticized the writing of the film's script, "it manages to actually entertain without a story, proving that the adaptation could have scored a win without trying so hard to be mainstream."[24] Kristen Sollee of Bustle recommended the film, along with Dracula Sucks and The Texas Vibrator Massacre, on a list of "6 NSFW Horror-Themed Films".[9] Sollee commented of the film's genre, "Given how central sex is to the horror genre, it's only fitting that horror become central to the porn genre."[9] Sollee wrote that the film was, a "spoof that brings all your Freddy Kruger fantasies to life".[9] The film received a positive reception from BuzzFeed, and Dread Central.[17][20][25] Steve Barton of Dread Central commented, "You know, we usually don't cover things like this, but sometimes stuff comes our way that's just too goofy to ignore."[26] Rafael Calderon of the Spanish language review site Cineralia placed A Wet Dream on Elm Street among, "The 5 best horror movie porn parodies".[27] Cameron Terry wrote for BlackBook that the film was "amazingly titled".[28]
