Freddy Krueger is a fictional character from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series of films. Created by Wes Craven and portrayed by actor Robert Englund in every film of the series, he is an undead comedic serial killer, who can attack his victims from within their own dreams. In the original script, Freddy Krueger was a child molester, as to Wes Craven this was the worst thing possible. The decision was made to instead make Krueger a child murderer in order to avoid being accused of exploiting a spate of highly publicized child molestations which occurred in California around the time A Nightmare on Elm Street went into production. However, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child suggests this might still be the case in a headline Alice looks at when researching Freddy. Freddy is commonly identified by his burned, disfigured face, red and green (or black and red in picture) striped sweater, brown fedora hat, and trademark metal-clawed brown colored leather glove. Wizard magazine rated him the 14th greatest villain of all time, and he came in 8th on British television channel Sky2's Greatest Villains of All Time and ranked 40th on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains list. |
