Danny Hassel

Danny Hassel is best known to horror fans as Dan Jordan, the lovable athlete and devoted boyfriend of Alice in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. Dan quickly became a fan favorite as one of the few characters brave enough to stand beside Alice as Freddy Krueger terrorized Springwood.
In The Dream Child, Dan suffers one of the franchise’s most shocking and unforgettable deaths. After falling asleep behind the wheel, Freddy transforms his motorcycle into a nightmarish machine that fuses directly into Dan’s body. Metal and flesh merge together as wires and cables pierce his skin, turning him into a horrifying, skull-faced human motorcycle hybrid before he crashes to his death in the real world. The sequence remains one of the most talked-about practical effects scenes in the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series and cemented Dan Jordan as one of Freddy’s most tragic victims.
