Are You Ready For Freddy?:

As most of you may know, Freddy Krueger is my favorite horror villain of all time no other villain holds a candle to the wonderful Mr. Krueger. Well in my eyes that is. With that being said I decided to dedicate a post entirely to him. Freddy Krueger was released to the world in Wes Craven's 1984 cult classic A Nightmare on Elm Street staring Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Craven based Krueger on a man that was walking on the sidewalk when Wes was a boy and he looked outside and saw the man just standing there staring up at him. Wes freaks out and runs away from the window so the man wouldn't see him any more. He walks back to the window to check if the man was still standing there and low and behold he was but this time he smiles at Wes and walks away. Dude that would really freak me out if that happened to me, not only is he just staring at you he then smiles at you and walks away. CREEPER!!
Freddy Krueger was produced from the violent rape of a nun Amanda Krueger by one hundred maniacs (a.k.a. Bastard son of a hundred maniacs.) He was constantly teased and tortured by the other kids because of his infamous and brutal conception. It was then he started murdering small animals, and as he grew into adulthood, he turned his masochistic behavior on himself After suffering abuse from his stepfather for many years, he brutally murdered him with a razor. What I loved about his step father is that he's played by Alice Cooper in the sixth installment of the Nightmare franchise, that has always made me laugh.

It was after child services took his daughter away that Krueger became a child killer earning the name "The Springwood Slasher". After he was captured for his string of grizzly murders, he was unexpectedly freed on a technicality. This enraged the parents of Springwood, OH and they took the law into their own hands. They followed Krueger to a building where he took his victims and ignited it with gasoline into a raging inferno. However, no one expected the end result of this act. Freddy's soul was so corrupt that it was decided he could be of use to dream demons imprisoned in hell. When he was promised eternal life in the world of dreams, Freddy could hardly refuse. Ever since that night, Krueger has taken his revenge on the parents of Springwood by stalking their children through their dreams.

Each time he is able to twist what would seem to be a normal dream into his own brutal imagination's delight of terror. Some children have escaped thinking they have defeated him, only to have him rise again sometime later. There is only one documented case of Krueger meeting his match. While in hell, he was able to awaken Jason Voorhees, of Camp Crystal Lake. Freddy was then able to use Jason to strike fear into the kids of Elm Street. This plan backfired when the masked killer could not be shut down. This led to a big confrontation both in the dream and real world. Freddy still lingers in the pits of hell with no indication if or when he will return. What makes Freddy Krueger so scary and terrifying is that he's able to make the dream go his way. Everyone says you have control over what you dream so why can't you just simply dream or wish Krueger away instead of getting killed? With someone like Freddy it takes a lot more then just wishful thinking to get rid of him. He's been in this world for some time that he's thought of ways to get around and to help him spread his rein of terror
Freddy Krueger is such a iconic horror villain that pretty much everyone knows who he is. They even mention him TWICE on the t.v. show The Golden Girls. He has influenced so many lives and so many people not just in the horror industry but with every one in the world. My cousin showed me the music video of the song "Are you ready for Freddy?" by The Fat Boys when we were going through our Nightmare craze renting every video from our local blockbuster. It is seriously the best Nightmare/Freddy Krueger song and music video you will ever come across. It's not only funny but it's hip and catchy, I find myself moving my head to the music and smiling while watching the video. It really is a riot to watch and for you're viewing pleasure I posted it here for you all to enjoy. Your welcome!
