I was looking through the Freddy wiki for just some background information on the man himself and I read something that I thought was incorrect... it might be a bit trivial... and it might not be that important... but I didn't know quite the right way to reword it so I wanted to see if someone could help me... and this is my first time editing a wiki and I didn't want to mess things up... I made bold the part I'm talking about.... correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it Freddy who originally does the tranqulizer dose and then the teens keep him in dreamland (forgive the pun)... like I said I know it's kinda trivial and if it doesn't need to be changed don't worry about it... but if you do change it then cool too... good night!
The television series Freddy's Nightmares and the film Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare also state Freddy is unable to spread his influence outside of Springwood. However, Freddy has managed to move beyond Springwood when he sought out his daughter (who he claims could free him of the town's borders due to being of his bloodline) in Freddy's Dead and when he made his way to Camp Crystal Lake inside the dreams of Jason during Freddy vs. Jason, which indicates that he can be in the dreams of those who are outside of Springwood if they are put to sleep while in Springwood's borders. This was the case with Jason, whom the teens of the film injected high levels of tranquilizer into, in hopes they could move him to Crystal Lake and give him the "home field advantage" in an attempt to use Jason to destroy Freddy. Yet, Freddy then entered his dreams while he was tranquilized. The two were still in conflict within Jason's dreams while Jason's body was being transported back to Camp Crystal lake, and Freddy appeared to lose none of his power during the transportation.

I have my doubts about the inclusion of Freddy v Jason v Ash. After all, comic books have been made about Nightmare on Elm Street and these may not be considered a reliable part of these characters primary fictional biography. Also, some of the mention is of no importance (the personal information about that wikipedia editor). I will clean that portion up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.251.136 ( talk) 22:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
I have tried twice now to edit the entry to reflect propar grammar, and it has been rejected both times. The line I am attempting to fix is "Krueger was accidentally locked inside of the asylum, where she was tortured and raped her for several days.". The word "her" does not belong in that sentence.
I also feel that it should be noted that she was raped by 100 inmates of the asylum, giving further creedence to the "Bastard son of 100 madmen" quote. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.90.45 ( talk) 18:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Taken from the talk page of Largoss:
Largoss. I suggest you read up on the Pedophilia and Child sexual abuse articles, which are topics I am well-versed in, as both articles clearly point out that incorrect use of the term pedophile/pedophilia does not make a person a pedophile. No one can legally be a pedophile, though people can legally be child molesters. But even from a legal standpoint, was Krueger convicted of child molestation? Furthermore, you should also read the archive discussion I linked to ( Talk:Freddy Krueger/Archive 1#Child molestor) about why Krueger possibly being a child molester should not be noted in the lead and why he should not be placed in Category:Fictional pedophiles. The creator of the character, Wes Craven, even states that he scrapped the idea of Krueger being a child molester. Flyer22 ( talk) 16:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
It is established in Freddy's Nightmares that he was a child molester. Plus it says in the article that the term is applie to anyone who molested children by those in law enforcement. Furthermore, he even states to Laurie in Freddy VS. Jason his "love" for children. Largoss ( talk) 16:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Wes has stated that in the original movie that he wanted Freddy to be a being a being of pure evil and that he did not want him to be comedic. The movies have gone away from that and turned him into such. He wasnt originally intended to be a child molester but there have been two instances in the later works that he IS a child molester (night mare 5 and freddy's nightmares respectively). Also it is heavily implied in the begining of Freddy VS Jason. The opening paragraph is suppose to talk of the films as a whole, well if hes been defined as one by two sources, then why is it not included? Largoss ( talk) 20:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Flyer22, worth mentioning, but something of a controversial nature such as this categorization should not be completed • S • C • A • R • C • E • 00:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
But if you're serious about getting this to GA you need to get rid of those citation needed tags that are littered in the article.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 00:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Does this belong in the Cultural references section? While it was an easter egg-style cameo, it was also an official canonical appearance, and I think it belongs in Appearances. Paul 730 20:40, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

A while ago, I put in something about the "1, 2, Freddy's comin' for you" rhyme under the "characterization" portion of the article. I thought it would fit since it's Freddy's calling card and has been sung in every single Nightmare movie at least once. Why was it removed? Smijes08 talk, 3:13, 23 February 2010

All past talk page discussions have been against it, as seen in the banner link above. But in the remake, he is portrayed as one? I haven't seen the remake yet, and am only going by the hidden note listing him in the pedophile category (before my removal of it, that is). Now I know people are always confusing what pedophilia really means -- the sexual preference for prepubescent children -- with other things (such as an attraction to pubertal or post-pubertal teenagers), so I want to know if he is portrayed as a pedophile in the technical sense. If you mean "pedophile" in its common use application -- a child molester or sexual attraction to anyone under 18, then...oh. And if Bignole is now okay with him being categorized as one, then I guess the remake gets Krueger pretty close to the more accurate definition of a pedophile.

Look at the IGN reveal video. Do you think this should be mentioned somewhere on this article? -- FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 22:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
I agree that it looks more like Haley than Englund, at least in some shots. The holes in the cheeks were from Haley's depiction IIRC.
That being said, the official explanation from Ed Boone is that it's not based on any specific actor that it based on but rather the generic look for Freddy; burned skin, hat, sweater, claws, etc. So that's what we have to go by. Now if a published reviewer later comes out and says "This looks more like Haley than Englund" we can say something like, "Critics have noted that the depiction appears to be more so and so than so and so".
Even if it's obvious to us, at the moment saying he looks like Haley would be our own personal observations and would be original research.-- CyberGhostface ( talk) 16:56, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

The 2010 film is both a reboot of the franchise and a remake of the original film, there is no reason why both should not be specified. A reboot does not need to have a follow-up to be a reboot. A single film can establish a new continuity. Why this keeps getting reverted even after we've established this is beyond me. It amazes me that notable, long-time editors can act so unprofessional.-- DesignDeath ( talk) 15:28, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Right now the article says:
"In the 2010 remake of the original film, it is suggested that Freddy is a child molester who had sexually abused the teenage protagonists of the film when they were children. When their parents found out, they trapped him in a building and set it on fire, killing him. However, Freddy is never convicted of a crime; the parents of the children, acted vengefully toward Freddy without reporting the crime to any authorities, nor did they attempt to investigate whether there was any truth to the children's accusations. Thus, it is impossible to determine that Freddy was actually guilty, and it is highly possible that Freddy is acting vengefully toward the children as a result of being wrongfully murdered by the parents of the children."
This isn't true. In the movie the children, now grown, find a secret room Freddy, when he was alive, kept at the school they were small children at and sometimes took them too. Inside the characters find a box of old Polaroids that the audience never gets to see, but from the horrified reactions of the characters we can clearly tell they are pornographic in nature. The movie, if you're paying attention, leaves no doubt as to his guilt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.166.1.214 ( talk) 10:24, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
With absolute respect to the writer(S) of the article I regret that I have nominated the material for swift deletion. To cover a fictional character is pointless and a waste of time. There are already articles about the movies, books, and video games. Why on earth would Freddy Krueger be a useful subject to write about? Our time could be better used on subjects people actually need in their day to day lives. It's not like they teach college courses on the mind of a fictional serial murderer who kills people in their dreams. Are high school kids going on killing sprees because they had been inspired by a nightmare Freddy in some way? The answer is no. Then one would agree that if the answer is no why does the article even exist? Who would actually benefit from this information? The answer... No One! 96.2.110.63 ( talk) 00:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

The blue on red colors used in the infobox are nearly illegible and distracting.

After all, comic books have been made about Nightmare on Elm Street and these may not be considered a reliable part of these characters primary fictional biography. Also, some of the mention is of no importance (the personal information about that wikipedia editor). I will clean that portion up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.251.136 ( talk) 22:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
I have tried twice now to edit the entry to reflect propar grammar, and it has been rejected both times. The line I am attempting to fix is "Krueger was accidentally locked inside of the asylum, where she was tortured and raped her for several days.". The word "her" does not belong in that sentence.
I also feel that it should be noted that she was raped by 100 inmates of the asylum, giving further creedence to the "Bastard son of 100 madmen" quote. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.90.45 ( talk) 18:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Taken from the talk page of Largoss:
Largoss. I suggest you read up on the Pedophilia and Child sexual abuse articles, which are topics I am well-versed in, as both articles clearly point out that incorrect use of the term pedophile/pedophilia does not make a person a pedophile. No one can legally be a pedophile, though people can legally be child molesters. But even from a legal standpoint, was Krueger convicted of child molestation? Furthermore, you should also read the archive discussion I linked to ( Talk:Freddy Krueger/Archive 1#Child molestor) about why Krueger possibly being a child molester should not be noted in the lead and why he should not be placed in Category:Fictional pedophiles. The creator of the character, Wes Craven, even states that he scrapped the idea of Krueger being a child molester. Flyer22 ( talk) 16:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
It is established in Freddy's Nightmares that he was a child molester. Plus it says in the article that the term is applie to anyone who molested children by those in law enforcement. Furthermore, he even states to Laurie in Freddy VS. Jason his "love" for children. Largoss ( talk) 16:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Wes has stated that in the original movie that he wanted Freddy to be a being a being of pure evil and that he did not want him to be comedic. The movies have gone away from that and turned him into such. He wasnt originally intended to be a child molester but there have been two instances in the later works that he IS a child molester (night mare 5 and freddy's nightmares respectively). Also it is heavily implied in the begining of Freddy VS Jason. The opening paragraph is suppose to talk of the films as a whole, well if hes been defined as one by two sources, then why is it not included? Largoss ( talk) 20:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Flyer22, worth mentioning, but something of a controversial nature such as this categorization should not be completed • S • C • A • R • C • E • 00:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
But if you're serious about getting this to GA you need to get rid of those citation needed tags that are littered in the article.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 00:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Does this belong in the Cultural references section? While it was an easter egg-style cameo, it was also an official canonical appearance, and I think it belongs in Appearances. Paul 730 20:40, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Why is Freddy Krueger in the fictional rapists category? I can't seem to recall an occurrence where Freddy did or it was implied. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 19:32, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
A while ago, I put in something about the "1, 2, Freddy's comin' for you" rhyme under the "characterization" portion of the article. I thought it would fit since it's Freddy's calling card and has been sung in every single Nightmare movie at least once. Why was it removed? Smijes08 talk, 3:13, 23 February 2010
Why don't we use {{ infobox character}}? – Scarce ✉ 21:24, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Anyone else find the categorization of this article outrageous?
This made me reminisce about the note left on the featured Homer Simpson article: "Please limit the categories listed for keep in "category overkill", discussed on the talk page please. Do not add any new categories; discuss them on the talk page first." And the only categories for that page are:
I do believe I shall pick at them. ► Scarce ◄ 17:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
All past talk page discussions have been against it, as seen in the banner link above. But in the remake, he is portrayed as one? I haven't seen the remake yet, and am only going by the hidden note listing him in the pedophile category (before my removal of it, that is). Now I know people are always confusing what pedophilia really means -- the sexual preference for prepubescent children -- with other things (such as an attraction to pubertal or post-pubertal teenagers), so I want to know if he is portrayed as a pedophile in the technical sense. If you mean "pedophile" in its common use application -- a child molester or sexual attraction to anyone under 18, then...oh. And if Bignole is now okay with him being categorized as one, then I guess the remake gets Krueger pretty close to the more accurate definition of a pedophile.

i think there should be a mention of this survey as other hoorror characters (such as Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers) both have mentions in their wiki pages on this subject.-- 121.220.97.38 ( talk) 07:15, 29 May 2011 (UTC)Lachie Bennett Lewis

Look at the IGN reveal video. Do you think this should be mentioned somewhere on this article? -- FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 22:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
I agree that it looks more like Haley than Englund, at least in some shots. The holes in the cheeks were from Haley's depiction IIRC.
That being said, the official explanation from Ed Boone is that it's not based on any specific actor that it based on but rather the generic look for Freddy; burned skin, hat, sweater, claws, etc. So that's what we have to go by. Now if a published reviewer later comes out and says "This looks more like Haley than Englund" we can say something like, "Critics have noted that the depiction appears to be more so and so than so and so".
Even if it's obvious to us, at the moment saying he looks like Haley would be our own personal observations and would be original research.-- CyberGhostface ( talk) 16:56, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

The 2010 film is both a reboot of the franchise and a remake of the original film, there is no reason why both should not be specified. A reboot does not need to have a follow-up to be a reboot. A single film can establish a new continuity. Why this keeps getting reverted even after we've established this is beyond me. It amazes me that notable, long-time editors can act so unprofessional.-- DesignDeath ( talk) 15:28, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Right now the article says:
"In the 2010 remake of the original film, it is suggested that Freddy is a child molester who had sexually abused the teenage protagonists of the film when they were children. When their parents found out, they trapped him in a building and set it on fire, killing him. However, Freddy is never convicted of a crime; the parents of the children, acted vengefully toward Freddy without reporting the crime to any authorities, nor did they attempt to investigate whether there was any truth to the children's accusations. Thus, it is impossible to determine that Freddy was actually guilty, and it is highly possible that Freddy is acting vengefully toward the children as a result of being wrongfully murdered by the parents of the children."
This isn't true. In the movie the children, now grown, find a secret room Freddy, when he was alive, kept at the school they were small children at and sometimes took them too. Inside the characters find a box of old Polaroids that the audience never gets to see, but from the horrified reactions of the characters we can clearly tell they are pornographic in nature. The movie, if you're paying attention, leaves no doubt as to his guilt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.166.1.214 ( talk) 10:24, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
With absolute respect to the writer(S) of the article I regret that I have nominated the material for swift deletion. To cover a fictional character is pointless and a waste of time. There are already articles about the movies, books, and video games. Why on earth would Freddy Krueger be a useful subject to write about? Our time could be better used on subjects people actually need in their day to day lives. It's not like they teach college courses on the mind of a fictional serial murderer who kills people in their dreams. Are high school kids going on killing sprees because they had been inspired by a nightmare Freddy in some way? The answer is no. Then one would agree that if the answer is no why does the article even exist? Who would actually benefit from this information? The answer... No One! 96.2.110.63 ( talk) 00:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
I included a section to a fan film about Freddy Krueger, I did this before I logged User DangerousJXD undid my edit. It was removed as Vandalism with a suggestion it may be my work and I am self promoting. I can categorically say it is not my work nor was I involved in anyway.
I apologise for including it in the firstb, I was just trying to add something to what is my favourite film franchise. Dfcfozz ( talk) 22:31, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
The blue on red colors used in the infobox are nearly illegible and distracting. Assuming the purpose here is to provide a legible encyclopedia article, these really need to be changed to something that people can easily read rather than a color combination that is known to be hard to read because the eye can't focus on both the colors at once.
