Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street)

Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger is a character and the main antagonist from the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series. He first appeared in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) as a burnt serial killer who uses a gloved hand with razors to kill his victims in their dreams. He is portrayed by Robert Englund.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Even though he‘s the villain, he’s actually quite likable and steals the show throughout the franchise.
 * 2) Unlike Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers who are very serious horror movie killers, Freddy has a dark and twisted sense of humor when it comes to killing his victims, much like IT.
 * 3) Speaking of Jason Voorhees he's fought him in the 2003 crossover slasher film Freddy vs Jason, but sadly Freddy Krueger was defeated to the hockey mask wearing and machete wielding Jason Voorhees.
 * 4) Robert Englund gives an amazing, unforgettable performance as him.
 * 5) He’s got many tricks up his sleeve, especially when it comes to invading his victims’ dreams.
 * 6) His design is very creepy in the right way to make him threatening and menacing.
 * 7) He has become one of the most unforgettable, iconic horror movie villains in cinema history.
 * 8) The idea of a child murderer who kills people in their dreams is pretty original.
 * 9) He has many unforgettable lines of dialogue.
 * 10) No matter how badly his plans fail, he never gives up, which is entertaining and scary at the same time.
 * 11) His iconic theme song is eerie and sinister, while still somewhat catchy.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) While the first movie managed to balance horror and comedy, the sequels delved more and more into straight up comedy.
