Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger is a fictional character created by Wes Craven, and is the main antagonist and a killer from the slasher film series A Nightmare of Elm Street. When he was burned to death in 1968 by the citizens of spring-wood, he was offered the spot as "Dream Killer" from the demons who live in the depths of hell. His biological mother, Amanda Krueger was a nun, who gave birth to Freddy after she was raped hundreds of times while visiting a mental institution. Through his childhood, he was sent from orphanage to orphanage, where he constantly endured humiliation by children, who thought of him as a freak.
He uses this new career of his to his advantage to murder the children of his killers in their dreams. as long as his victims were dreaming, Krueger could inhabit and control their dreams, twisting them to his own ends. He is also capable of entering a victim's mind via state of intoxication, whether the victim is drunk or stoned. Any physical harm done to a person in this dream world would carry over into the real world, though exactly how differs significantly between films, allowing him to easily commit multiple murders. he has everything that a horror character needs and why his character is so successful in the horror genre.
