At 18, Amanda Krueger decided to become a nun. Her name in Christ was to be
known as "Sister Mary Helena." Her first assignment as a nun was to go to the
tower (where the most insane were locked up) in Westin Hills. Only a few days
away from Christmas, Amanda was accidently locked in the tower when the guards
were in a hurry to go home to their families. The inmates kept her hidden
for several days, brutally raping and beating her. When she was finally found,
she was barely alive, and pregnant.
In September After a breech birth, Fred Charles Krueger was born. Amanda decides
to raise him, and the convent allows her to stay as a nun. When Freddy reached
the age of 10 he started to display eccentric and even sociopathic tendencies.
(playing alone and hurting small animals) At 11, Freddy became a ward of the
state after slicing his mother's leg with a kitchen knife. He found his
first beat up fedora(hat) outside of a grocery store when he was 17.
When he was 18 he went to work as a janitor at Springwood High. He also
met and began to date Loretta Johnson, a waitress at a nearby diner. 3
months later he married Loretta Johnson. 5 years into the marriage they had
a daughter named Katherine. Freddy or also known as the Springwood Slasher
was estimated to have killed 20-30 children while he was alive. When his
wife uncovered his secret he strangled her to death and his daughter
was taken to an adoption home. Freddy then fled the law.
When Freddy was finally captured in trial it was revealed that the arrest
warrant for Freddy was not signed in the proper place so he was released.
The parents swore revenge. That night, a mob of angry parents including
Lt. Thompson and his wife Marge, Richard Lane and his wife, Walter Lantz,
and Doug Parker, among others, collared Freddy in his boiler room and burnt
him to death. But the parents were too late to save the life of 6 year
old Melissa Roberts, Freddy's last victim. Amanda Krueger died around
the same time. After hearing about what happened in the trial, she
lost her mind and hung herself allegedly, but no body was ever found.
After that Freddy was back and he began stalking people in their dreams and killing them.

Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again!"

Facts about Freddy
The television sitcom "Just the ten of us" had three Nightmare cast members in it.
Heather Langenkamp, JoAnn Willette, and Brooke Theiss all played in this series.
The street they filmed Nightmare On Elm Street on is called Lancaster Road, and
is located in a small, Californian town.
Springwood is an actual town. It's very small, but with a rich industry community.
It looks very similar to the town in the movie.
A stuntman who was very tall was intended for the role of Freddy Krueger
before Robert Englund came along.
They used Bisquick Pancake Mix in the stairs when Nancy's feet sink into them.
A slew of celebrities show up in Freddy's Dead. Here are a few examples: Johnny Depp (the guy in the drugs commercial), Alice Cooper (Freddy's foster dad),
Bob Shaye (New Line Chairman plays the ticket vendor at the bus stop.)
Five-hundred gallons of cow blood were used in the scene of Glenn's Demise
in the original nightmare.
The claws on Freddy's glove are each six inches long.
The idea to name the Krueger character Freddy came from a child hood bully
of Wes Cravens.Ê The idea for the movie came to him after reading some news
articles about depriving themselves of sleep due to having bad dreams.
They would end up falling asleep and having such bad dreams that they died
in their sleep.
The pool scene in Nightmare 2 was a mistake. They didn't realize that
Freddy's true power lies in the dream world, and they decided to bring Freddy
into the real world.
Freddy's full name is Fred Charles Krueger
Freddy was born in February, 1942 in Westin Hills Asylum.
Freddy's real address is 1667 Elm Street, as revealed in Freddy's Dead.
The park where Dylan tries to reach god is in Merced, California.
Tuesday Knight also makes a cameo in the New Nightmare during the funeral scene.
She is the blond seen talking to Nick Corri (Rod) after the earthquake.
There are movie references to A Nightmare On Elm Street in other movies as
well as other movie references in the Nightmare On Elm Street Series.
I have listed some of them below.
Before Freddy shows his face as the surgeon, the Dr's tag reads: "Dr. Voorhees M.D."
In the original Nightmare, the words "Evil Dead" are visible on the TV
in the background. There is also a poster of the Evil Dead visible as well.
In the movie Critters 2, one of the bounty hunters transforms into Freddy
after looking at a cardboard cut out of Freddy from Nightmare 2.
The janitor in Scream was wearing a red and green sweater, a dirty brown hat,
and his name is Fred. The janitor is played by Wed Craven.
There is a Nightmare On Elm Street Homage in the Evil Dead 2.
Freddy's glove can be see hung above the door to the tool shed.
There are some continuity glitches in the Nightmare Movies as well.
The basement door opens in different directions, depending on the scene.
The part in Nancy's hair swaps sides while talking to her father after Tina's death.
The colors in Freddy's sweater are contrasted frequently through the movie.
When Nancy leaves the house, she is wearing short sleeves. But when she
checks her watch, you can see a sleeve shortly above her wrist.
The gray streak in Nancy's hair is on the left side of her head in part one.
But, in part three it's on the right.
In the original Nightmare, Nancy burns the outer side of her arm on the pipe
to wake herself up. But outside the school when she examines it, it is on
the upper part of her forearm.
When Freddy is pulled into the real world by Nancy, he gets hit with a
burglar device, and falls from the top of the stairs. You can see that the
stunt man falls onto a mattress to break his fall.
In Dream Warriors, before Freddy comes up behind Taryn, you can see Freddy's
sweater laying at the bottom of the screen when the homeless man comes towards her.
In Dream Master, when Freddy raises his hand in the church, only three
claws are visible instead of four.
Also in Dream Master, Alice can be seen walking past a tree holding tickets
that she will be given in the next scene.
In the original Nightmare, before Glenn gets sucked into the bed, the TV station
signs off as KRGR (Krueger).
When Freddy goes to smash the gerbil in Freddy's dead, you can see that
he put it in his left hand and snuck it under the table.
