While Freddy became more and more comedic as his films went on - that is until Wes Craven sought to make him scary again with New Nightmare - fans never truly lost sight of the fact that even when dropping one-liners, Freddy is one bad dude. Freddy is to the 1980s and 1990s what Dracula and Frankenstein were to the 1930s, a defining movie monster that still strikes fear into audiences today. A child murderer - and implied molester - turned dream prowler, Freddy is well-known even to those who don't follow horror films, and would rather get a root canal than take in a slasher flick. A Nightmare on Elm Street villain Freddy Krueger is iconic, as is his red and green sweater, and it turns out that color combo was no accident.
