| “ | 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 out 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. | „ |
| ~ Freddy gleefully recounting his crimes across the series in the opening of Freddy vs. Jason. |
Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger is the titular main antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and the 2003 crossover film Freddy vs. Jason.
He was originally a human serial killer who targeted the children in the neighborhood of Springwood, Ohio. After being burned alive by the parents of his victims, Freddy was given supernatural abilities by a trio of demons. Now, a powerful demon himself, Freddy, returned to the neighborhood to get revenge on the parents who burned him by killing their children.
He was portrayed by Robert Englund, who also played his counterpart in Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General[]
- In general, his presence is heralded by a disturbing atmosphere that is meant to show his psychopathy. His villainy isn't just taken seriously by the narrative but it shows how debased he is as a person and how he has no moral standards to speak of.
- His actions have quite literally caused everyone he has encountered to be severely traumatized as a result, to the point where after he has killed every child and teenager in Springwood, he causes every adult to experience mass psychosis.
- Additionally, the adults of Springwood have gone to great lengths to make people forget about him by erasing public records and sending anyone who dreams of him to Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital, where they are given the dream-inhibiting medication Hypnocil.
- Although he has a genuinely tragic backstory of being an illegitimate child born from the result of his mother being raped by over 1,000 men at an insane asylum and being abused by his alcoholic adoptive father Mr. Underwood, his Freudian Excuse ultimately doesn't hold up at all since it is established that he showed signs of psychopathy even then, and it does not justify his actions, as he killed somebody that treated him kindly and could forgive him for what he had done. In addition, he isn't really affected by his tragedy either.
- As a revenant, he kills his victims in their dreams in severely brutal ways (many relating to their worst fears) and would often taunt their loved ones about how he killed them before taking them as his next victim.
- He not only lacks empathy for human life, but he actively loves killing and relishes the opportunity to terrorize his victims, deliver cruel one-liners, and enjoy the reality that they are helpless in his hands and will be terrified regardless of what he does, all with an infectious glee.
- He absorbs his victims' souls for energy, leaving them in an agonizing state.
- He has a tendency to paint people's deaths as suicides or make others appear as if they're suicidal in general for no reason other than sheer sadomasochistic delight.
- Before killing people, he usually toys with them and has a great time torturing them, which he sometimes drags out just for the sake of making things more hopeless for them.
- Although he becomes more comical in later sequels, none of his comedic moments detract from his crimes, and most of them just show how sadistic and monstrous he actually is.
- In addition to being a child murderer, he is also implied to be a child molester, as shown by a newspaper Mark and Alice read in The Dream Child and evidenced by his perverted behavior towards some of his victims, such as leaning in close to Nancy and sticking out his tongue in a slow, deliberate manner as if making an obvious sexual advance toward her, making Jesse's tongue bigger and placing it between Lisa's breasts while she and Jesse are making out, posing as Tracy's pedophilic, incestuous, abusive father and initiating sex with her, having Joey suck on his enlarged tongue while posing as Marcie, a female nurse, and once while going through a book of reported abducted and missing children, he stared at the image of a little girl and licked her picture in a somewhat perverse way before sticking it back in the book. He also has an eyeless little girl tell Lori that Freddy "loves" children, especially little girls, which strongly suggests pedophilic inclinations.
- His evilness was so strong that the Dream Demons deemed him the most evil, twisted being imaginable, and Amanda describes his birth as a curse on the face of humanity as a whole. He is not played for sympathy in any form whatsoever and is universally despised by every character in the series.
- Even the Dream Demons, who are the ones who gave Freddy power, seem to show some disdain towards him as they refuse to resurrect him after his death in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
- He sees himself as God and thinks that his own power is sufficient for him to gain dominance over the Real World in the same way that he has in the Dream World and seize anything he desires, regardless of any evil he has to commit, be it mass murder, causing pure misery and suffering, or wreaking havoc and destruction.
Background[]
- As a child, he smashed one of his school hamsters to death with a hammer.
- He, as noted above, subverted his tragic backstory of having been an orphaned boy who was abused by his adoptive father and taunted by children for being a rape child by killing his former classmates' children. And all in all, he wasn’t affected by his past anymore when he became an adult.
- He was aligned with Saxons and supported the Norman Conquest of England.
- In the time where a war took place, he committed his first kill on a human by killing someone with a cannon.
- He killed his adoptive father, Mr. Underwood, and explained that secret of pain is that if you stop feeling it, you can start utilizing it. Although Mr. Underwood may have deserved this for his abuse of Freddy, Freddy did not murder him as an act of vengeance or justice, but rather to fulfill both his sadistic and masochistic tendencies.
- He murdered at least 20, mostly by mutilating them with his clawed glove in his boiler room and spreading their corpses around the town, earning him the name the "Springwood Slasher." According to Nancy's mother, everyone was driven to insanity, as they initially didn't know who the killer was.
- In addition to slaughtering children, he also brutally murdered Maxie and Elvis Presley.
- He was the one who caused the Great Crash in the United States, which subsequently led to the worst economic downturn in the nation's history known as the Great Depression, causing unparalleled levels of unemployment, widespread poverty, and a significant decline in the overall quality of life for many Americans.
- It's heavily implied that he came to Munich and assisted Adolf Hitler's rise to power and supported him in becoming the chancellor of Germany.
- He tried to trigger the explosion of the atomic bombs over the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Had he succeeded, he would've been responsible for widespread destruction and massive loss of life in both areas.
- He kidnapped and stole a child during the 1966 World Series, likely murdering them.
- He killed his own wife in front of his daughter by strangling her and cracking her neck when she found out he was the Springwood Slasher, despite her promising she wouldn't tell.
- It is shown that he would’ve also killed his five-year-old daughter Katherine if she told anyone about the murder and told her "I didn't need a glove to kill your bitch of a mother and I don't need one to kill you".
- He made a deal with the Dream Demons to continue his reign of terror in the Dream World upon being burned alive.
- He caused his birth mother Amanda Krueger to commit suicide when she found out about his murders.
A Nightmare on Elm Street[]
- He invades the dreams of Nancy Thompson, Tina Gray, Rod Lane, and Glen Lantz and proceeds to psychologically torment and traumatize them.
- He slashes Tina across the chest with his clawed glove, which does the same amount of damage to her in the real world, and throws her around the room, which kills her.
- He frames Rod Lane for the killing of Tina, which leads to him getting arrested. Or rather, he just doesn't care, which can be just as bad.
- He taunts Nancy by showing her Tina's corpse during class and pulling it along so that Nancy follows and meets her end in a boiler room.
- He pulls Nancy into a deep body of water from her bathtub and attempts to drown her, making her mother hear her terrified screams and gurgles from outside the door.
- He shows Tina's bloodied corpse to Nancy again and has her spit out centipedes and eels to make her feel disgusted.
- He runs after Nancy to her home and then pretends to be Tina, mockingly pleading for her to save her from Freddy. However, he soon stops pretending and goes to kill Nancy upstairs, but she is awakened by her alarm clock.
- He hangs Rod to death with the sheets of his bed, making it look like he has committed suicide.
- Prior to this, he had already notified Nancy that something terrible was about to occur to Rod when he walked into his cell and glanced up at her with a wicked smile.
- Nancy is so traumatized by him that Margaret brings her to a dream therapy clinic, but she has another terrible nightmare there, where Freddy slashes her across the arm several times.
- He pulls Glen into his bed, regurgitating a large fountain of blood that splatters all across the ceiling.
- Before doing this, he sadistically called and told Nancy in her dream, "I'm your boyfriend now," and then turned the bottom half of the phone into a mouth and tongue to lick her across the mouth.
- He tries to kill Nancy and chases her around the house while threatening to kill her slowly and agonizingly.
- He kills Nancy's mother, Marge Thompson, by burning her to death with fire and reducing her to an ashy skeleton before pulling her into her bed and sealing it off.
- When he gets out of the bed after killing Margaret, he makes fun of Nancy for believing she could escape from him and claims that she will die a slow, horrible death.
- After Nancy manages to seemingly defeat him by simply not being afraid anymore, it's revealed Freddy was simply pretending to be defeated and letting her think this was all a dream and everyone was alive. But this itself is also a dream, and he traps her and her friends in Glen's car.
Freddy's Revenge[]
- In Jesse Walsh's nightmare, Freddy poses as a bus driver and drives the bus to the desert before making the ground shift, ultimately stranding the bus on a thin pillar of dirt. He then goes for a fatal slash, only for Jesse to wake up while screaming.
- It's implied that he has been tormenting Jesse for a while, which is why he can never wake up normally and feels so shaken that he feels uncomfortable around anything that looks like bladed claws.
- After Jesse catches him tampering with his furnace, Freddy explains to Jesse that he wants him to be his vessel and carry out murders in the real world. He claims that he has the brains, and Jesse has the body, while he pulls away his skin to show his brain, which terrifies Jesse into waking up.
- He gives Jesse a finger knife glove from the furnace similar to his own and darkly urges him to wear it, despite Jesse's resistance.
- He drives a bird insane, causing it to become violent and kill another bird while attacking anything in sight, before finally combusting.
- He gradually takes possession of Jesse and forces him to attack and kill multiple people:
- He snaps the strings on a tennis racket and tossed multiple different sports gear at Jesse's coach, Schneider.
- He then tied Coach Schneider's wrists with jump ropes and attaches him to a pipe before stripping him naked and brutally whipping his backside with towels.
- He kills Schneider by slashing him across the back multiple times, making the showers spray out blood. While the coach may have deserved it for his treatment of Jesse, Freddy does not kill him out of justice in any way.
- Furthermore, the finger knife glove also turns out to be sentient to Jesse, who hears Freddy's voice in his head telling him to kill for him.
- He very nearly succeeds in making him kill his sister while she is asleep.
- He violently chokes Ron Grady and kills him by stabbing him, which extends his finger knives through the door for people to see. From Grady's perspective, Freddy violently and grotesquely busts out of Jesse's torso to kill him himself. He also laughs and waves at Jesse through a mirror while watching him cry over his dead friend.
- He eventually seizes complete control over Jesse and shifts the latter's body into himself, claiming that Jesse is now gone and that he is the only one left.
- He attacks Lisa in the house and bit into her leg.
- This is horrifying to her to the extent that she hallucinates insects crawling into her bite wound.
- When Lisa repeatedly refers to him as Jesse, Freddy persistently denies this by constantly saying that Jesse is gone and only himself is there.
- Once Lisa hears Jesse's voice begging her to kill him by attacking Freddy, Freddy feels delighted knowing that she will have to kill her boyfriend just as she starts stabbing him, which he smiles at.
- He kills half a dozen teenagers at Lisa's house during a party, creating fire to burn crowds of victims, boiling the swimming pool and lights it on fire, and making the chain link fence burning hot, preventing party goers from climbing to escape.
- When one of the party attendees tries to reason with him and claims he wanted to help him, Freddy attacks him and throws him on a grill, saying, "Help yourself, fucker!”
- As everyone stares on in horror, Freddy raises his arms in triumph as a massive burst of fire shoots up into the air behind him, declaring, "You are all my children now," suggesting that he intends to raise them in a sinister way as his own kids or perhaps something worse.
- In spite of Lisa's efforts to bring Jesse back, Freddy keeps insisting that Jesse isn't there and attempts to attack her out of rage when she persists on trying to free Jesse from Freddy's possession.
- He reveals himself to be alive by the end of the film and impales Kerry through the chest, then makes the school bus drive off of the road. He presumably succeeds in killing everyone.
Dream Warriors[]
- By now, he has successfully killed every child of the Elm Street parents, except the Dream Warriors.
- Using a little girl as bait, he tricks Kristen Parker into going to a house, where she discovers that Freddy is on his way to kill her.
- He terrorizes Kristen by showing her the hung corpses of teenagers and turning the little girl she was carrying into a skeleton.
- Kristen appears to wake up only to find herself in yet another nightmare where Freddy transforms into the sink faucet and uses his finger blades to horribly slit her wrist.
- When it ends, Freddy makes it look like a suicide attempt by having Kristen hold a razor when her mother walks in, causing Kristen to pass out from the shock and blood loss.
- As a result, this causes her to be brought to Westin Hills Asylum for care and for what her mother thinks is attention seeking behavior.
- His actions cause Kristen to become aggressively violent and slowly begin to lose her sanity.
- He traps Kristen again in the Elm Street House, and while doing that, he makes her see disturbing imagery like a melting tricycle with blood coated on its tires and the rotting corpse of a pig presented as food that occasionally makes sudden movements.
- He takes the form of a grotesque worm to suck on and swallow Kristen, and he attempts to kills her and Nancy as they run away.
- It's revealed that he has already been tormenting the other Westin Hills patients, and it's also implied he has caused all of them to suffer from legitimate suicidal depression.
- He cuts open Phillip Anderson's arms and legs, pulling out his tendons and using them to manipulate and control him, like a puppeteer would control a marionette. After taking him out to a window, he cuts the tendon strings with a laugh and causes him to fall to his death as his friends and fellow patients watch.
- Phillip's death deeply shocks the teenagers and everyone believes it was a suicide, until Nancy convinces their doctor, Neil Gordon, that there is more to the story.
- He murders Jennifer Caulfield by taking the form of a TV, growing mechanical arms to grab her and driving her head through the screen, electrocuting her to death. Mere seconds before doing this, he tauntingly calls it "her big break in TV.”
- He captures Joey Crusel during the group hypnosis, restraining his arms and legs with sentient tongues and hangs him above a pit of fire, which puts him in a coma in the real world.
- When the Dream Warriors try to follow to save Joey, Freddy traps them in the room and makes the walls close in on them and burn with heat.
- He also tauntingly goads Nancy into going to the Dream World by writing crimson blood words on Joey's chest in the real world, spelling out "COME AND GET HIM BITCH.”
- He separates the Dream Warriors from each other upon their arrival in the Dream World and personally torments and kills each of them:
- He kills and beheads Kristen's mother, and proceeds to jeer at her by displaying her severed head and jokingly telling her to listen to her mother, as he makes her head talk and insult Kristen, all before trying to kill Kristen herself.
- During his fight with Taryn, he uses her drug addiction against her by turning his fingers into syringes and punctures Taryn's arms, which have become small, moving mouths, making her veins surge to her head from the drug needles and causing her to cry as she dies from a drug overdose.
- He hurls a wheelchair of spikes and needles towards Will and later kills him by impaling him, mocking his wizard master dream powers by saying he doesn't believe in fairytales.
- When Nancy tells him to let Joey go, Freddy responds by saying "her wish is [his] command,” and tries to drop and release Joey to his death in the fiery pit until he is saved by some of the Dream Warriors.
- As he is choking Kincaid, he shows Nancy and Kristen the wailing, agonizing screams of children through his torso, revealing that he absorbs the souls of the people he kills.
- When he realizes someone in the real world is trying to stop him, he manages to manifest as his own skeleton in the real world, impaling and killing Donald with a spike, then beating up and knocking Neil into his grave.
- He makes himself visible through multiple mirrors while laughing and waggling his tongue at the remaining Dream Warriors, and then pulls Nancy, Kristen, and Kincaid through them, but Joey is able to retrieve them.
- He gives the Dream Warriors false hope by making them think that they have won and killed him, and then fatally wounds Nancy by impaling her while manifesting as her father and pretending to give her a hug. He then separates Kincaid and Joey from Nancy and Kristen, then beats down and tries to kill Kristen. Although he disappears due to holy water and a crucifix, it wasn't before he successfully killed Nancy.
The Dream Master[]
- After he is resurrected in a dream, he kills all of the remaining Dream Warriors from the previous film:
- He traps Kincaid on a junkyard planet with junkyard cars that spit fire, move on their own and explode, and kills him by stabbing him through the gut. When Kincaid says that he’ll “see [him] in Hell,” he informs him to "tell 'em Freddy sent ya."
- He drowns Joey in his waterbed and turns it into a blood pool after tricking him into seeing a naked woman beneath his waterbed mattress. He also leaves his corpse there for his mother to see.
- His acts of killing Joey and Kincaid leave Kristen feeling severely ill over losing them and she has to be rushed to a hospital.
- He uses a syringe to spray and squirt blood at Kristen when she is in the hospital bed just to satisfy and fuel his knack for bloodshed.
- He invades Kristen's nightmare and kicks her through the sand as she is sinking which sends her into a boiler room.
- Before killing Kristen, he manipulates and goads her into summoning one of her friends into the dream so that his "fun" can begin anew.
- When Kristen summons Alice into her dream, Freddy throws the former into his furnace in the boiler room while simultaneously showing Alice the absorbed souls of what he refers to as "his children.” In reality, it sets Kristen's bedroom on fire and he leaves her corpse in it.
- He sends a photo to Alice in real life of him hoisting her up and calls it "Greetings from Hell!" before setting the picture on fire.
- Despite having exacted his revenge by killing all of the Elm Street children, rather than be content with his revenge, Freddy chooses to do everything he can to reach out and find more people to sadistically kill.
- Due to Kristen giving her dream power to Alice, Freddy uses her to get to more victims that aren't from Elm Street by making her pull them into the dream world and so he can kill them.
- He traps Alice in her desk chair to prevent her from interfering and forcibly kisses Sheila Kopecky, sucking all of the air and life out of her lungs through her mouth after taunting her, then making it look like she has an asthma attack in class.
- He traps Rick Johnson in a bloodied replica of the bathroom stall where he fell asleep in and made him see the gory and charred body of his sister, Alice, before sending him down an elevator.
- He invisibly attacks Rick in a martial arts dojo and kills him with his levitating bladed glove.
- He traps and sucks Alice inside a movie and makes the audience applause in cruel satisfaction.
- He offers Alice soul pizza, which is made up of the terrified, beseeching souls of individuals on pizza, and eats a meatball containing one of said souls in front of her with the intention of disturbing her.
- As he stalks Debbie and interrupts in the middle of her workout, he breaks her arms at the elbows with a bench press and barbell. He then makes her arms snap off as huge insect legs begin growing from the stumps of her forearms. When she tries to run away, Freddy traps her in a tunnel with a sticky floor which makes her unable to balance with her new appendages, and the glue on the floor peels away her face, revealing a hideous, screeching insectile body. After transmuting her into a cockroach, Freddy crushes her to death in a roach motel, squishing her and causing a huge gout of slime to erupt.
- All the worse, as he probably knows of her phobia of bugs.
- He makes Alice injure Dan by making her car collide with what she thinks is him, but is actually a tree in reality, and then ramming into it.
- He violently spins Alice and Dan around in a lengthy tube as opposition until they land in a church and Dan disappears from the dream.
- He taunts Alice throughout their fight, including laughing at her blows, telling her she doesn't have what it takes, and encourages her to keep trying out of spite and derision, even telling her that he is eternal.
- He nearly kills Alice in the dream world until Alice uses a nursery rhyme against him called "The Dream Master," causing all the souls he's absorbed to be released from him.
The Dream Child[]
- He put Alice in a dream sequence where she almost drowns in the shower. Later, he makes her become his mom, Amanda Krueger, and has her be brutally gang raped by the 100 maniac inmates.
- He puts Alice in a dream sequence where he momentarily impregnates her and is carrying himself in the womb. Later, he turns her into an observer and used Amanda as the pregnant woman to restart his birth and so that he could be brought back.
- After recreating his birth to Alice and returning, he began fondling with her abdomen in a perverse way, and he trapped Amanda's spirit away from Alice, in hopes that he would never find her.
- He takes the form of Dan's bike and forcibly glues him onto it with electricity while painfully turning him into a machine hybrid that speeds faster and faster and eventually, and intentionally, crashes right into traffic.
- He uses Dan's dead body to taunt Alice with "let's make babies", which makes her faint.
- He straps Greta to her chair and forces her to eat her organs which stuffs her mouth with her own insides and has her envision her mother and guests laughing and mocking her.
- He captured Mark inside a drawing and hung him above a rectum tunnel.
- It's revealed that he's been using Alice's unborn baby to attack Alice's friends and feeding him the souls and spirits of his victims inside the womb from the placenta and umbilical cord to make him like himself.
- He grabs Yvonne in a swimming pool and drags Alice into a dirty room filled with water, where he pulls Yvonne out just to upset her.
- He mocks Mark about Greta's death and slices out a chunk of her organ. When Mark uses his Dream powers to become a superhero and shoot Freddy a whole bunch of times, unfortunately, Freddy was only toying with him by pretending to be dead and turns into "Super Freddy," who's immune to the bullets, much to poor Mark's growing horror. In the end, he forcibly turns Mark into a comic character, and he sadistically laughs as he rips him into many pieces.
- He acted like he was Jacob's father to "bond" with him while Alice was watching, then he stopped pretending and tried to kill them both.
- Jacob explains to Alice that Freddy has been hiding within her, which is how he discovered Jacob. Freddy then violently tears out of her body, making a sarcastic comment that they can now get to know each other.
- He was on the brink of murdering Alice and was even making out her wounded body before Jacob intervened by releasing the souls of Dan, Greta, and Mark from Freddy's back, causing him to revert back to being an infant.
- Despite being placed inside Amanda's body and seemingly unborn, Freddy forcefully tears her stomach open to try and get out and loudly yells at her to let him out, indicating that his presence is still ongoing.
Freddy's Dead[]
- By the year 1999, Freddy has killed nearly every child and teenager in Springwood and driven all of the adults mad over their deaths.
- The population of Springwood, according to a billboard, is at least 15,000, meaning that by Freddy's Dead, his kill count could be hundreds to thousands, giving him one of the highest kill counts of any horror movie slasher.
- In John Doe's nightmare, he drops him out of an airplane and sends him plummeting down into his house from the sky, sends his house into the high stratosphere and vows to get him and his soul, ejects him into reality by hitting him with a buss, and tells him to fetch more people for him so that he can kill them.
- He toyed with and tormented his daughter, Katherine Krueger, who now goes by Maggie Burnham, as well as Tracy Swan, Spencer Lewis, and Carlos Rodriguez, in ways like making them relive their tragic and abusive upbringings, sending them a threatening message which reads out "you're fucked", trapping them in a time loop where they repeatedly drive around the same town square and intersection, and trapping them in the Elm Street house.
- He tortures Carlos by disguising himself as his abusive mother and sticking a cotton swab deep into his ear, piercing through his skull, and ripping off his ear. In addition, he taunts Carlos by shouting and creating loud noises behind him, knowing that he can't hear anything.
- He provided Carlos with a hearing aid to help him "hear better", but it actually ends up amplifying his hearing to the extent that even the smallest noise can be detrimental to him.
- He casually tosses a needle down to Carlos, whose heightened sense of hearing causes him to perceive the sound as that of a dropping bomb. Despite this, he is able to catch the needle before it can land.
- Freddy then releases a multitude of sharp needles onto the ground, causing significant harm to Carlos' sensitive eardrums due to his advanced hearing capabilities amplifying the noise to resemble a loud hurricane.
- He pulls out a chalkboard and slashes across it multiple times with his finger knife glove, making Carlos' head explode.
- He sucks Spencer into a television and controls him with a video game controller, then beats him up by making him face Spencer's dad and an avatar of himself.
- When Tracy and John knock the controller out of his hand, Freddy uses the power glove to lock them out of the room and make Spencer fall down the stairs to his death, eventually absorbing his soul.
- He pulled John's house out of the ground and launched it into space before setting his bedroom on fire.
- After John jumps out of the window and falls, he tricks John into pulling a string that activates a parachute, which in reality propels him out of the truck Maggie was driving. He then makes fun of him for thinking he was his father and reveals that he only let him live long enough to bring back his daughter, mentioning that she'll be taking him to a whole new playground before severing John's parachute strings and causing him to plummet to his death onto a pile of needles.
- He gains the ability to erase people from existence and history, as if they never existed, after he kills them.
- He tries to take possession of his daughter so he can use her as a vessel to kill people all around the world.
- He pretends to be Tracy's father and engages in sexual activity with her, followed by her being forced to burn her hands on a stovetop to wake up.
- He counts off the ways people have tried to kill while cutting off his fingers out masochism, and describes himself as "forever", while claiming Doc isn't. Additionally, he also flips off Doc for no reason.
- Freddy almost removes the line between reality and dreams, effectively taking control of both the Dream World and the Real World.
- He created an Elm Street across every town in the world with the sinister intention of mercilessly slaughtering all who he comes across, allowing him to perpetrate widespread terror and devastation on a global scale.
- After appearing as a human again, he tried to deceive Maggie by faking remorse, professing his love for both her and her mother, and insisted that he was trying to be a good person. Thankfully, Maggie doesn't believe him and responded by striking him in the chest.
- He separated Maggie from Doc and Tracy, making a vow to end her life in a manner similar to how he ended her mother's life.
- Soon after, he made the decision to kill Maggie with finger knife glove, going back on his previous decision.
- He urges and encourages Maggie to wear his finger knife glove, emphasizing that it runs in her bloodline. He offers to demonstrate how to use the glove to her until Maggie uses it to impale him.
- While his destiny is quite horrific as he is violently blown up into a bloody mess by a pipe bomb and condemned to Hell for years, causing the Dream Demons to turn their backs on him, this is not portrayed as a pitiful event, but rather as a fitting punishment for his heinous actions, highlighting his truly monstrous nature.
Freddy vs. Jason[]
- He resurrects Jason Voorhees, assuming the guise of the latter's mother Pamela Voorhees to have him kill the people of Springwood and makes him believe the people of Elm Street are bad so that they remember Freddy and he can come back to life to kill as much as he wants again.
- He killed Lori Campbell's mother by arranging what everyone thought was her father murdering her in their bedroom.
- He terrorized and tortured Bobby Davis to the extent that he committed suicide in blood-filled bath tub. This event caused his younger brother, Mark, to be severely traumatized, and he was admitted to the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital.
- He used the guise of a young, eyeless girl to tell Lori to spread his name and let everyone know he's returning.
- Realizing that he wasn't yet powerful enough to kill Blake Mueller with a manifestation of his shadow cutting him, he opted to let Jason have some "fun" by murdering more and more people. This led to Jason being the one to kill Blake instead.
- While turning himself into her father, he urged Lori to go to bed and fall asleep so that he can kill her.
- He reached his hand out of a magazine, put his fingers up into Kia's nostrils, and tore off her nose, causing her to toss the magazine away in terror in the real world.
- In her dream, Freddy tried to kill Gibb by stabbing her in the chest, but Jason stole the kill in the actual world, which enraged Freddy, who claimed that she was his to kill.
- He had Mark witness his dead brother lay in the same blood-filled bathtub, and he rooted Mark to the spot by having metal wires sprout from the floor and pierce his feet. After that, he transformed the blood around him into a mass of eels.
- In front of Lori and Will, he killed Mark by setting him ablaze while scorching the words, "Freddy's back", on his literal back.
- He became Lori's father and compelled her to make out with him, complete with tongue kissing, which is incest.
- Following Lori's act of ripping his ear off and bringing it into the real world, he transformed it into a group of maggots in order to terrify her and her friends.
- When Jason doesn't know when to stop and keeps killing victims Freddy wanted to claim as his own, he saw Jason as a loose end and decided to get him out of the picture, even though it was his fault for not clarifying what the plan was.
- He took control over Bill Freeburg and tranquilized Jason so that he would go the dream world where he can deal with Jason himself.
- He taunts Jason by making him see Pamela in the dream world and deceives him into believing she was enraged and disappointed at the fact that he killed too many people when he was only supposed to kill a few, viewing him as a failure.
- He sadistically and brutally attacked and beat up Jason in the dream world, then telekinetically thrashed him around the boiler room with gestures and dropped a massive boiler on top of him.
- Eventually he learns Jason does have a fear—water. Freddy, upon learning this, floods it all around him, reverting Jason into a shivering child and calling him an "ugly little shit". He then pulled out Pamela's severed head and exclaimed, "now there's a face only a mother could love!"
- He digs into Jason's consciousness and makes him relive the day he drowned out of cruelty and spite. Freddy is using this as his chance to finally kill Jason for good.
- He performed necrophilia on a female camp counselor's corpse by having sex with her and waved her lifeless arm at Lori, who was watching the scene.
- He traps a young Jason underwater during Lori's dream while she attempts to pull him out of the water.
- He reveals to Lori he was the one who killed her mother, whom he refers to as a "whore."
- Lori is unable to flee and is subjected to Freddy cutting at her breasts while he smiles sadistically and perversely. Freddy clearly intended to rape her when he said, "the first time tends to get a little.. messy," as he pulled her skirt up, revealing her bare legs, and slid his finger blade up her thighs while she was helpless to get up and whimpering and writhing on the floor. He would've gone through with the deed had Lori not woke up and brought him to the living world in time.
- He wanted to kill Kia to spite Lori and Will, but before engaging in battle with Jason, he let Jason to kill her instead after she had made fun of him repeatedly.
- He broke a wooden structure to drop rebar through Jason's body and pushed a large metal structure over at him.
- He sliced off Jason's fingers to take his machete, then used it to floor him with his own weapon before stabbing into both his eyes and his heart.

Trivia[]
- An unused ending for Freddy's Dead would have shown the Dream Demons approaching an abused child and encouraging him to act out violently, revealing that they do not just empower evil people; they also tempt others to become evil, with it being implied that they did so with Freddy. If this had been kept in, he wouldn’t qualify as Pure Evil.
- He is currently the icon for Pure Evil Wiki's "Mature Content Warning!" template.
