Krueger

“ My children. From the very beginning, it was the children who gave me my power. The Springwood Slasher, that's what they called me. My reign of terror was legendary. Dozens of children would fall by my blades. Then the parents of Springwood came for me. Taking justice into their own hands. When I was alive, I might have been a little naughty, but after they killed me, I became something much, much worse. The stuff nightmares are made of. The children still feared me and their fear gave me the power to invade their dreams. And that's when the fun REALLY began. „ ~ The story of Freddy Krueger being told by Freddy himself in Freddy vs Jason Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger is the main antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and the 2003 crossover film Freddy vs. Jason.
