Freddy Krueger, one of the most feared villains from the horror movie genre, was the murdering demon in the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movies. He appeared as a man with a burnt face who wore a fedora, a trench coat, and a striped sweater; and let’s not forget his glove with a blade on each finger. Freddy was played by the actor Robert Englund.

In the 60’s, Frederick Krueger murdered some of his neighbors and their kids on his home street of Elm Street, town of Springwood. The neighbors that survived took revenge on Krueger and burnt him alive. But after his death, demons gave him the power to continue his reign of blood. He had the power to make dreams into reality (die in the nightmare he created = die in real life) and he is powered by people’s fear of him. Freddy vendetta is against the descendants but will kill for sport as well or anyone who tries to get in his way. He attacks a person in their dreams making him impossible to escape from.

The fact that Freddy can kill you in you dreams makes him a scary monster and one of our favorite villains. Also, unlike others from the genre, he seems intelligent and manipulative. Other killers from horror movies just wait in the dark and stab people with little or no thought to it. Though this might be scary, Freddy usually has a plan of attack. Remember he needs to get people to believe in him before he is powerful enough to attack. The idea the Krueger has a plan to get you makes him even more frightening.

I was suprised to see him infront of Liquid Snake and the Borg at first. I thought thoughs two would be considered cooler villains. But Krueger is generally more well known and a favorite in the horror movies. Dispite what I think (which is inverse) the people have spoken, Krueger is a better and cooler villain the Liquid and the Borg.
