Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors reveals Freddy's origins, and might be the best of the franchise.
This article contains spoilers for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
There will never be another Wes Craven. A filmmaker with an eclectic palate, this horror maestro had a special touch for creating terrors that have stood the test of time. Ghostface in Scream, the horrible inbred freaks in The Hills Have Eyes, and just whatever Shocker was supposed to be (okay… not all of them were winners). Yet one beast stands tall above all the rest: He wears a dirty brown hat, has a burnt face, and knives for fingers. His name is Freddy Krueger and in life he was a child murderer. But in death, he became something much worse… a horror icon.
Indeed, A Nightmare on Elm Street remains one of the scariest and...

Freddy (Robert Englund exclusively, as of now) Krueger is one of horrors most iconic figures. The hideous past, the hideous face, the easily anticipated, but humorous one-liners, they’ve all helped to create a star that continues to shine today. But the best attribute Freddy possesses is an uncanny ability to manufacture creative and grizzly methods of victim disposal.
Examine a few other long running franchises, and really evaluate the quality of their sequels. The majority lose all fear factor, and loads of appeal to boot. This happens because the lines of creativity gradually disappear. We know that Michael Myers will wield his kitchen knife until the final moment of the final reel on Halloween night. We know that Jason Voorhees will celebrate every Friday The 13th with a machete. Pinhead’s going to pull out the whips and chains, Leatherface will snatch the chainsaw and the cycle will run…...
