List of A Nightmare on Elm Street characters

A Nightmare on Elm Street series, created by Wes Craven, focuses on several characters who are faced with surviving the attacks of Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a child murderer, who gains the ability to stalk and kill people in their dreams, killing them in reality, after his own death at the hands of a vengeful mob.

The series includes nine films: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989) and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991), in which Freddy is seemingly killed. A demonic interpretation followed in Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) where Freddy Krueger attempted to break free from the films into the real world. Nearly a decade later, Freddy was involved in a crossover with Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th franchise in Freddy vs. Jason (2003). The series was rebooted in 2010 with A Nightmare on Elm Street, a loose remake of the original film with veteran Krueger actor Robert Englund replaced with Jackie Earle Haley and the character changed from child killer to child molester. The franchise also encompasses a television series, a video game, merchandising and numerous works of literature about Freddy Krueger and his exploits including further crossovers with Jason Voorhees and Ash Williams of the Evil Dead franchise.
