About Freddy Krueger
While most know who Freddy Kruegar became, just as many people don’t know who he was and how he got that way. The product of a gang attack on his nurse mother who worked in an insane asylum, Freddy is known to be The Bastard Son of a 100 Maniacs. Given up for adoption and decidedly strange from him beginnings, Freddy was eventually adopted by an abusive alcoholic who gave him his education on animal torture and self mutilation. Freddy murders him and then attempts to live a normal life.
Little is known about Freddy’s wife and daughter. We do know that he found that normal life impossible and killed 20 children in a period of 3 years. Having been freed on a technicality, his crimes did not go unanswered. Freddy received his trademark burns when the families of his victims burned him alive. Moments before death, he struck a deal with Dream Demons and began a second career in dream murders. With a backstory like this, it’s no wonder he’s a permanent fixture on the horror circuit.
