SLEEP AT YOUR OWN RISK. Freddy Krueger's terror-inducing reign began when he clawed his way into the dreams of Elm Street's unsuspecting teenagers. Once a child murderer in the real world, Freddy's malevolence took on a new, nightmarish form after the parents of Springwood avenged their children, only to unknowingly unleash a darker evil that haunted dreams in the 1980s and beyond.
In this video, I'll be journeying through the NIGHTMARE-filled timeline of Freddy Krueger, from his birth, to his troubled childhood, to his full blown criminal years. I'll be providing a comprehensive breakdown and analysis of his character, as well as shedding light on the behind-the-scenes elements that contributed to his ghastly creation.
Brace yourself as we dissect every dream, every kill, and every eerie lullaby-preparing you for the ultimate analysis of Freddy's tormented legacy!

I honestly believe that Freddy died for good in Freddy vs Jason. The last blink was Englund’s farewell to the character and to the audience. He even said in an interview that that was Freddy’s last action.

[@kidbeac]

Robert Englund often tends to explain various things in the films, which in a way is cool and shows his interest in the character. But in reality, it has been said several times that it was just to make the outcome of the fight less clear.

[@ericwhite1942]

[@UmbrellaPharmaceuticals]

I don't think that he did because he never truly "dies". Think of him as kind of like a Greek god, rather than dying, his presence fades but he lingers.

The pool party scene comes on, there's a shot in that scene with a wagon full of beers and they start popping and exploding on their own.

New Nightmare was legitimately creepy too. It's funny how between movies, so many don't know who he is. So much for people remembering.

[@Sawrattan]

There is a lot of creepiness in there but the one that really gets me is Wes Craven's script predicting the conversation ahead.

[@davidjsaul]

It's not actually supposed to be Freddy in NN though, it's some kind of demon masquerading as him because of Heather Langerkamp's fears. Good film though, especially after Freddy's Dead!

[@LaktostheIntolerant]

Honestly, Freddy's rules changing from movie to movie makes sense, as he's a local legend powered by the fear of his victims and thus, can only do what they BELIEVE he can do. For example, Nancy believed he could be pulled into the real world, so he could be. He was able to enter the real world through Jesse because his understanding was formed by Nancy's diary, etc.

[@edsandstars]

this makes so much sense, thank you!

[@WinteringHeart]

Wow, this is an excellent explanation. I wonder if the writers had this in mind when writing the films.

[@Selena-gz9ts]

Dreams change as we experience more of the world

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Good theory, much like how he tailors the dreams, the dreams are just variations he made based on his victim’s worldviews and understandings. Although some inconsistencies are definitely bad writing. Although if you write those more fantasy based stories it’s hard to keep track of the rules.

[@christopher4249]

That’s a neat theory but ultimately that can’t solely be the case because even before haunting his teenage victims in their dreams in the very first nightmare movie freddy was making his way back to life through dreams to a certain degree through the dreamscape if you want to call it that. So he could start his ultimate revenge killing spree rampage on the first group of children of elm street such as Nancy, Glen, Tina and rod. And then keep in mind in nightmare on elm street part 3 the Dream Warriors it was revealed to us that the elm street children in general had no recollection of Freddy and who he was since he had been killed so many years ago, to the point where the once infamous serial killer wasn’t even mentioned or brought up towards them at all in the slightest, so if that was the case then what fear was Freddy feeding off of then if they didn’t know him at all to be begin with. See My view point is that Freddy can logically haunt peoples Dreams as long as the Dream demons exist and if humanity’s act of dreaming is still in motion Freddy will always be able to kill his victims “with belief or even without it as well”…

[@KrystynaE1967]

I met Robert Englund a very long time ago and he was such a nice person. A true gentleman. Will remember for the rest of my life.

[@robd1859]

You probably should have asked him to hire you. Because I hear it's pretty hard to get in them movies and make a lot of money. But some people get lucky enough to get hired and get them Multi million dollar jobs. It must be pretty cool, though. To work on a movie for 2 months, and then cash a check for 20 million dollars.

I met him in 2017 at a convention, and I agree, he is a nice person. I told him that he's the only one who scares me, when he's dressed as Freddy. I went to a Haunted Woods once, and this guy who was dressed as Freddy jumped out. Scared my grandma, but not me, and the guy was bummed out that I didn't jump. I told him, "You ain't Robert Englund, so you're not scary." I told this to Robert and he laughed and said, "I'm so glad that I can scare you." We also talked about how horrible the reboot was. He said, "Jackie Earl Hayley, is a great actor." I replied, "He really is, but the script sucks." I'm so glad I got to meet Robert.

[@amyschildgamerlive4519]

Idk the whole segment on Jesse was theory based on speculation. Despite many of the individuals involved later coming out as gay at the time they have gone on record as having stated that gay subtext was unintentional. That includes the script writer (who came out as gay) as well as Jesse's actor (who also came out as gay).... though to be fair they have stated they still took pride in their work and liked that people saw stuff they hadn't.

In 84, my mom rented me a Star Trek film, but Nightmare on Elm Street was in the box. Being a typical boomer mom, she put it in the VCR, and watched it with me, saying it was the first film to really scare her in years. She loved it. It was a lucky thing. That film for me is very nearly perfect.

[@Heliosphan15]

It’s nice to see all of this laid out in order because his backstory seems so complicated, and his soul is doomed right from the get-go. Son of a nun who was raped, becomes a murderous father, the dream people, etc. He had no chance of NOT being evil.

The ping ball part in Freddy vs Jason is one that will forever be burned in my mind. Growing up, was never into horror. So when anyone is watching something horror related, I would leave to another room. But I remember walking out one day to my family watching Freddy vs Jason and saw that Air Yeet scene. I was surprised to how I thought it was funny and not scary. It became my first horror movie I watched, and it all changed from there. Although not praised by critics, it still holds a special place in my heart.

[@SDAWG-69]

My dad was watching halloween and it was kinda cheesy but great

Not sure if it was pointed out in the comments but at 56:58 that is not just some random PSA host but Johnny Depp. Which for it being the “Final Nightmare” was a nice nod to the first movie.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

​@Thirdeye387 In the late 80s early 90s. My dad volunteered for an organization that built a haunted house every Halloween. So as a small child I'd go with him in the evening when they were building it. One year they built a boiler room and themed it with Freddy. That year a window was busted in the building they were renting and the glass guy couldn't make it until the next day. So my Dad and I brought sleeping bags to spend the night inside the haunted house. I was about eight years old. The only bathroom was located at the back of the building. Which required you to walk through the boiler room. Even knowing it was all fake it was STILL creepy AF to walk back there by myself. With a flashlight to use the restroom.

[@jennifermckinley8477]

Mine to

[@TheRussian13]

I still feel that Freddy's "-this... is God" line is severely underrated. It's an amazingly improvised line that not only mocks Tina's plea, but it also hints to Freddy's god complex with his powers. He remains convinced he's invincible even when Nancy figures out how to defeat him. Freddy has been surprised and injured throughout the series, but he still trys to come out on top.

[@PGbutalsofourteenplus]

I thought it meant he was saying (literally) his face if HE himself is god.Or was telling Tina god is evil or his burned face represented what is or how he felt about GOD

[@christopher4249]

But i mean Freddy must be a godly being in my eyes because of the fact that even when humanity turned against him and the children would defeat him he would still came back to life right? Which is very similar to the ideology of god.

Thank you for this video! People have criticized the remake for "making" freddy a child molester and i try to tell them he's always been a child molester, it just wasn't as overt in the original series.

[@matthewmartin4394]

@spooniejusticewarrior As a lifelong, dedicated Fred Head here's my opinion.

[@matthewmartin4394]

Sorry, accidentally sent that prematurely. Anyways, I think you're totally correct that the original vision of Wes Craven, was of the taker of innocence in both capacities...he r@%$d & killed the kids. The problem is that the horrendous remake, reduced him to a simple chester molester. He had NEVER EVEN taken a life b4 the parents burned him. This really weakened the mythos in my view. Fred Krueger never spilled actual innocent blood until post mortem. Also it was a CGI mess that couldn't hold a candle to the original.

[@mollygrace3068]

Yes! I was just talking about Freddy to my daughter last week or so and I told HER he was a child molester. I remember catching that impression from the first movie, and I watched that as a kid in the 80’s.

[@ivanborgia3580]

The original Is superior, but I liked the remake with Earl Haley: It was very dark, dramatic, scary, freaking and mysterious. Id say that It made some Pieces and scenes even better than the First installment. Last, many years ago, I need to tell I had a dream (or a Nightmare) where I was chased by Freddy, and atmosphere location and events looked like the last movie. This movie loses interest and fashion at the last 30 minutes, becoming predictable, boring, doped with special effect, too much long and a bit pathetic (anyway much less pathetic than the Nightmare 2s ending)

[@spooniejusticewarrior]

@@ivanborgia3580 i agree. I think the remake gets too much hate. Did you know Jackie Earl Haley auditioned with Johnny Depp for the original movie? As we know, Johnny Depp got cast, but Earl Haley di not, but then went on to play freddy in the remake 20 years later.

[@GabeR115]

Taking 90 minutes to explain Krueger is why I own the box set of all Nightmare films. He has an immense amount of depth for a horror villain and it’s definitely what makes him stand out among them. Usually I like simple rules but dreams are the furthest thing from simple so it makes sense his rules are confusing

To me these movies scream Nostalgia reminds me of what it was like to be a kid and be afraid of the cheesiest things. Took me a while but I found a VHS set complete obviously it's missing more modern ones like Jason versus Freddy and so on but still one of my favorite movie sets. I think watching them on a VHS gives it this this creepy vintage look that I don't know how to explain but it's so enjoyable

But I had to get rid of the rage so I used self harmed as a outlet in my early teen this is how I accidently built up a pain tolerance. Once I did I took joy in knowing I took something from my abuser. I moved out when I was 18 my step father who was my abuser died 16 years ago. I've dealt with my demons and I have never even been in a physical fight in my life with anyone outside of my step father who I knocked on his ass when I was about 15 and that ended him hitting me.

[@montyhux9757]

I always interpret the ending of FvJ to be both of them walking out of an extinguished lake of fire in hell or purgatory of some sort. Meaning they both died in the real world. Which answers why Freddy is able to wink whilst decapitated. And because it’s technically the last part of Freddy Krueger’s timeline, it gives me a better feeling of satisfaction to see Jason walking him back into the afterlife after their big showdown. Obviously, Jason comes back at some point because Jason X is the final part of Jason’s timeline, but for me this is Freddy’s official ending. For him to finally die doesn’t let all the fighting that Nancy, Alice, etc. be for nothing. They all sort of get to live vicariously through Laurie in that moment and they all win. Plus I think that all horror franchises deserve definitive endings at some point, and to me, this is the most definitive and satisfying interpretation of the ending of FvJ.

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Alice Johnson is one underrated final girl just like the two movies she is in (Nightmare 4 and 5). She is the one true survivor that lived through two movies. Being the Dream Master and the mother of the Dream Child, you could even say she is the definitive final girl of this franchise. I love the Christian and devil symbolisms in the Nightmare films it really adds a mythological depth to the character and the lore. Freddy is definitely not the only dream demon in history. It’s creepy to think there might be many previous dream demons throughout history.

[@bodystorm]

Not really. Alice was kept alive by Freddy in both movies for more victims in Part 4 and to grow via her unborn child in part 5. I mean in part 5 she was weirdly alive after Freddy ripping out of her at the end. Different rules kept her alive. She really wasn't stalked the same way as the other kids.

[@the_petty_crocker]

@@bodystorm I disagree. Alice was one of the strongest of them all. She protected her mind so completely - without Hypnocil - that it was closed to Freddy, who still needed her. He had killed all of the Elm Street children and it was only through Alice that he could continue. He was done. He only managed to bring himself back through co-opting the dreams of a fetus. Alice literally pulled herself apart to be rid of him once and for all. I hate how they retconned that in 6. Alice won.

[@jtrillguzman9641]

​@@the_petty_crocker yea but Nancy is the best out of all cuz she didn't need dream power like everyone else cuz her power was she was never afraid of Freddy Alice had help in part 4 with all the power of her friends and in part 5 Freddy would of killed her if her friend yvonne didnt help her n released Amanda Krueger

[@moonfighter4872]

​@ah1016 Alice also wins in comics. Her and Nancy are amazing. Nancy is a legit dream warrior in comics too. Alice is def final girl as they always confirm she survived etc.

[@ivanborgia3580]

Nancy>alice because, like someone said above, she (Nancy) Is the real dreammaster, she fight him alone struggling against her fears (drunken mother, separated parents, forgiving annoying friends like tina and Rod), She looked right in the eye and said: you are nothing, you exist as I say you exist, you are a ghost of my mind. Its time to end it. He disappeared. Fighting Freddy physically, means fearing him, giving Life and energy. Using super or magical powers against him Is Just a temporary solution. Nancy didnt get chased for years because She won her fears. In Nightmare 3, She get killed because surrounded by weak and scared boys, which dream to be stronger, but they arent, so Freddy alone could have slaught them all. The psichiatric save them. Alice master a part of Nancy's strategy, and a part of luciddream, but in first place, she looks unbeatable because she is chosen to be freddys waitress. Anyway, i dont see why freddy could be defeated by looking in the mirror, when he often used mirrors to hunt (not as his tongue, but often). Its more likely that he cheated to steal her child Later. In the end, Alice is a supersayanblue, Nancy has Ultraistinct

[@CreativeStoryteller35]

Funny story. I actually wrote a sequal to Freddy vs. Jason, where Michael and Jamie Lloyd got involved. Freddy came back to life when Jamie touched Freddy’s head, transferring the evil that Michael put in her at the end of H4 into Freddy. (No, it's not related to Thorn.) I thought it was a creative way of bringing back Freddy Krueger after Jason decapitated him.

20:39 I think Nancy was actually still dreaming when she thought she'd pulled Freddy into the real world. That explains things like Marge's body sinking into the bed and Nancy getting trapped in the car at the end.

[@neonicon8500]

Either that, or it was the mom dreaming and her nightmare is that Freddy got her daughter but he ended up getting her. Because it is weird how Freddy definitely had them at the end, yet she pops back up in 3. So either Nancy was dreaming, the mom was, or they just retconned it in order to bring Nancy back. Very confusing third act concerning all that

[@alexisf5006]

Don’t get me wrong I love the Elm Street/Freddie films. However, having seen the movies out of order and spaced out made them feel silly and disconnected franchise cash grabs BUT hearing the backstory and connections in order made me appreciate the films and its mythology on a whole new level! Well done, I enjoyed this.

[@joshsimpson6856]

I loved the entire Nightmare franchise. I wastoo young to see itwhen it first came out, but my mom's cousin let us watch it anyway. I do have one thing to say about nightmares. I had this nightmare almost 40 years ago (Yes I'm old). In real life I had moved into this house that had a stand up shower in the basement. A neighbor who was my age told me that the previous woman who had lived there was one of those loner types and everyone called her a witch, and this depressed her to the point where she went into the attic and hanged herself with a wire coat hanger. By the time they found her body, the hanger had cut almost through her neck leaving her head attached by a flap of skin in the back. The things that 10 year olds used to dream up (pun intended) back then. In my nightmare, we had rented the basement out to two guys who were trying to find jobs in the town where I lived. I was supposed to bring their supper down to them but could not find them in the basement. In the real world, one of the windows in the basement was boarded over with it of course being outside on the other side of the boards. In my dream, for some reason I removed the boards only to see another room with one of the guys sitting on a pile of wood withhis decapitated head in his lap. I turned around to run out of the basement only to find that where the doorway was empty before, there was a pile of wood in my way with an old witch on the other side with her head falling off backwards while swinging an axe towards me. I ducked and grabbed a piece of wood and hit her with it, and then woke up as I was running away in my dream. As crazy as it sounds, and despite the fact that I have had much worse nightmares since then, I still get goosebumps when I think about that nightmare. In a strange way, it made me have a kind of crush on the neighbor girl who told me the witch story. We moved away and I had not seen her in years, but when we moved back into that town, I was in high school, and ended up getting a job working with her. I told her that story and she remembered telling me about the "witch" trying to scare me. I told her that that particular point in my life made me a lifelong horror fan. Still, to this day, it is by far my favorite genre of shows and movies.

[@cambricjimenez4882]

I love the cast picture in the New Nightmare segment. I think it is cool Heather and Robert have stayed pretty tight all these years. Also New Nightmare is super underrated because I dont think people really knew what to make of meta-horror back then.

As a little kid I was so scared of Freddy and the whole Nightmare universe. Later on it didn’t take to be a brain surgeon to find out that all my troubled/broken home childhood with a terrible father figure was reacting to these flicks and Frederick as the violent father. Anyway, this is an excellent work and very thoroughly put together history of the nightmare realm. Must have taken a long time to make this video! Congratulations on that, keep up the great job!!!

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

Interesting - I didn't know that there were supposed to be kids 6 years before Nancy and co. I'm sure Glen had the same dreams as Nancy, Rod, and Tina that first night. He gave "a look" when Nancy and Tina were talking at Tina's house.

[@Khaivet]

yes at the beginning when Tina is telling them about her dreams, Nancy, Glenn and Rod make comments implying they all had the same dream.

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Yeah me too I thought Nightmare 1 is the very first killing spree as Freddy in that film seems in a 'figuring out' phase where he is discovering his powers and see what's the best approach to torment the kids. He definitely have encountered difficulties with Nancy proving to be a worthy foe and I'd say he even struggled with Tina at first. He became a lot more competent and powerful in 3 and 4 and 5 is where he is having his last stand with Alice's baby. As for the previous victims they were only seen from Freddy's Dead which you really can take the good bits as canon and discard the rest imo...

[@I.____.....__...__]

The line about "six years ago" was from Dream Warriors, she was referring to the first movie. If you mean the in-memorium wall that listed causalities in 1975, 7 years after they torched Freddy and 11 years before the first movie, there's nothing that specifically says it happened in their sleep, they could just be regular accidents and health problems and stuff. Zac does mention SUNDS, but he's making assumptions not backed by the content of the movie.

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

@I.____.....__...__ no, I meant the memorial wall. Since the classroom in Freddy's Dead is dedicated to Krueger's killings, it's an inference, but I'd say it's a warranted one. The first movie is set in '81 according to the internal timeline.

[@Mexman75]

Freddy has always been the scariest horror character because as a kid I suffered from night terrors. Even after I got over them mostly I still suffered from very vivid and graphic nightmares with the worst part being if I woke up and went back to bed I would actually pick the dream back up. Apparently this is rare but my mom has the same thing. And yes I did have a nightmare with Freddy once after watching Freddy vs Jason. He was chasing me and I woke up as he was about to kill me, but I went back to sleep and I was back in the dream with him and he said “welcome back”. On the plus side this works for good dreams as well.

[@APackOfHungryGhosts]

I mean, isn't that what they'd do in a real small town cemetery when so many people died unexpectedly in a short time frame? If the families didn't have pre-bought plots, and the victims are kids so that is unlikely, the cemetery would just bury them all in a new row.

[@AngryOvaries]

​@@APackOfHungryGhostsDepends on the family. In small towns families have their own private cemetery as well. Some have pre bought plots for their entire family including grandchildren to ensure they are all buried together. Small town folks tend to think these through generations into the future. Some would wind up in the manner you spoke of but ALL of them?😂

​@@APackOfHungryGhostsI don't think they lived in that small of a town. Was it ever implied outside of the families knowing each other? Which was very common in most neighborhoods back in the day.

[@Mangolite]

I have vivid memories of being absolutely terrified after watching "A Nightmare on Elm Street" at a close friend's house in my early days as a refugee kid in America. As I grew into adulthood, I discovered an unsettling connection between my people, the Hmong, and the inspiration behind Freddy Krueger. This connection was rooted in a series of unexplained deaths that occurred at night among relatively healthy young men who had fled the horrors of the Secret War in Laos during the Southeast Asia conflict, commonly known as the Vietnam War.

I like Freddy becasue he's got personality, the same with Pinhead and Chucky. Jason, Michael, and Leatherface are bland, faceless, nothings, they may as well be Bruce from Jaws or the truck from Duel (not the truck from Jeepers Creepers, the creeper did have a bit of personality). This is why some movies can be rebooted since the actor is behind a mask, while others don't work without the original actor.
