When the slasher subgenre first took off, the most popular villains were silent killers, like Michael Myers in Halloween or Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th (excluding that first installment where his very chatty mother was the killer). Part of the reason why A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger became so popular was that he talked, and he even had a sense of humor. More of his backstory was revealed as the series went on, and it’s a pretty disturbing one, even if the Nightmare films got campier as they went along. Let’s take a look at the disturbing backstory of Freddy Krueger.
