Review/plot:
Dr. Strange and Sara Wolfe go watch a horror movie and then debate whether or not fictional violence and horror are a cause of real world violence. Then Dr. Strange thinks that he's waking up to Sara having a bad dream, and he runs to her room to try to wake her up, but he's attacked by "Eddy".
But it turns out that Dr. Strange is really the one having a bad dream. This is an attack from Nightmare.
Strange figures it out and ends the threat.

Comments
Marvel actually did release two issues of a Nightmare on Elm Street comic two years before this was published, written by Steve Gerber. It was solicited for at least five issues and had stories submitted by Buzz Dixon and Peter David before its abrupt cancellation.
One story goes that someone in Marvel had it cancelled after actually reading it and finding out what it was about, although you'd think the Tomb of Dracula and Epic Comics stuff might have been just as bad, I guess Nightmare on Elmstreet was more known and therefore more easily subjected to public scrutiny.
But hey, if it went on any longer, maybe we could have actually had Doctor Strange vs Freddy Krueger. Who knows?
