Personality

Freddy is detached from the stereotypes from killers and others serial killer in the line of Scream and from Jason by his originality. Indeed, in addition to the traditional bloody murders with the bayonet (of the gloves equipped with blades, for him), Freddy can keep silent thus children and teenagers in their dreams and nightmares.

He has several way of being caught there:

He can, as of the deadened victim, to involve it in a strange world with the frightening landscape or simply to intervene in the decoration " réel" , like the room of a child.

Freddy can interact with the decoration to tackle or make fear with the victims, as to transform the lower part of a telephone into mouth, a bed in monster.

The transformations on its body are frequent, thus, it can lengthen its arms or its language ad infinitum, deform it, transform it or make it amalgamate with objects. It even can automutiler to terrorize, like cutting fingers, a hand, tearing off the skin of cranium. It does not feel any pain and cannot die, it is thus free of its imagination. (there is a certain confusion during the series when has to know if Freddy feels the pain. in the episode 6 Freddy reveals that it feels the pain well but that it is not afraid of it because it can control it)

But finally, as few actors corresponded so that Craven sought, the idea was abandoned.

The role of Freddy is held by Robert Englund which interprets the character in each film of the series. Public being accustomed so much to the step, gestural and the expressions that Englund lends to Freddy that many fans consider that Englund is Freddy. Hearing by-there that no other actor could interpret the croquemitaine with as much brilliance than the actor.

The colors of the striped pullover that carries Freddy, green and red, were selected because they wound the eyes.
