Description
In the past there were the characters of Frankenstein, Dracula and King Kong - today there's Freddy Krueger. Created by Wes Craven, one of Hollywood's masters of horror, this gruesomely disfigured creature, sporting a razorblade-fingered glove, dirty red and green sweater and brown fedora, has made millions of fans scream in terror since he first emerged from the shadows in 1984.
