Star Trek may not seem to have much in common with A Nightmare on Elm Street, but several cast and crew members have worked on both iconic franchises. Star Trek began with the premiere of Star Trek: The Original Series in 1966 and has become a pop culture juggernaut with numerous films and television show spin-offs. Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) have become household names and some of the most recognizable figures in science fiction, just as Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger is one of the most iconic characters in horror.
