"Every kid knows who Freddy is. He's like Santa Claus, or King Kong."
Freddy Krueger has haunted the nightmares of children (both in film and
the real world) for over two decades. With his razor-fingered glove and
wisecracking persona, Freddy has become a cultural icon. After a truly
terrifying debut in Wes Cravens 1984 masterpiece A Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy evolved into a comic anti-hero; he's a bad guy you root for more than the hero.
