Freddy Krueger

Real Name: Freddy Krueger
Date of Birth: February, 1942
Place of Birth: Springwood, OH.
Race: Caucasian Sex: Male
Height: 5' 8" (approx) Weight: 160lbs (est)

Current Location: Who the hell knows? I mean who can really tell? Like so many other classified psychos Mr. Krueger has been apparently destroyed and sent to hell so many times that it makes us all a little cynical, and hard to believe that the old dudes dead. His final apparent appearance was to be 'Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare', but Monsieur Krueger (or a close spiritual descendant) was spotted not only in Wes Cravens truly original 'New Nightmare' but also in a shameless cameo appearance at the end of 'Jason Goes To Hell' and of course 2003's rip-roaring 'Freddy vs Jason' team-up.

Reference movies:
A Nightmare on Elm Street, A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors, A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4: Dream Master, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Freddy Vs. Jason

DREAM ON FREDDY

Freddy Krueger. They say your childhood can affect the remainder of your live in this mortal coil. I mean how would any of us feel being born to a schizo who dies giving birth. Being raised by murderers and rapists, it's hardly the Brady Bunch is it? Freddy lived in the suburban community of Springwood. Hundreds of carefree children laughing and playing in the streets unaware of how things would all soon suddenly change. And well, to make a long story short, Freddy began a murder spree on little old Springwood. A little kidnapping here, some methodical butchering there. But this was no walkover community. The towns' people came back with a vengeance and took the law into their own hands. A dab of gasoline and a burning match soon put Freddy's slice and dice days to rest. To rest in peace? Hardly!

Now Krueger can be found haunting the dreams of innocent young kiddies. You might think a few nightmares now and again can't hurt, well guess again people...it was only the beginning.

There's many a psychotic deranged maniac who like to throw in the odd quip before a maiming. The dudes who like to shout "Heads up" before brutally slicing it off. Well Freddy Krueger is the king of the pre-death-gags. He's almost become a somewhat comic book character now. In the early days he was a scary, creepy frightening figure in the world of horror. And the man kept these wonderful qualities for the first 3 great Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Unfortunately parts 4, 5 and 6 were absolutely cak. Freddy, like I said, had become more of a comic book hero than that terrifying guy we all used to know and love. The downfall of the series meant the downfall of Fred. As each script got worse and worse, Freddy's appeal lacked that razor sharp edge he once had. Surely there would be no way back?

But there’s only one man on this planet that could pull the Freddy franchise from the ashes and give it a wicked twist. The series' originator, Wes Craven. Before the days of the classic Craven self-referential genre flicks such as Scream, Scream 2 and oh yeah Scream 3 we had Wes Cravens' New Nightmare. A decade after the original Nightmare on Elm Street hit the theatres Wes 'the man' Craven penned a terrific script to resurrect Freddy from the grave. But this was no ordinary Freddy feature, far from it. Robert Englund, the man behind Krueger stars in this film...and get this...as himself. Wes Craven stars in this film...also...as himself. And beauty queen Heather Langenkamp (Nightmares original Nancy) also appears...you guessed it...as herself. Freddy references, reality and real life are thrown together in this fantastically unique horror movie. Recommended to any true Horror fan, and most definitely to any Elm Street fans.

Freddy Krueger is an institute in horror. A much loved character popular to this day as he was over 15 years ago. But I don't think we've seen the last of Freddy. With talk of a new Freddy vs. Jason sequel in the pipeline I don't think it will be too long before we see Robert Englund back doing what he does best.
