Freddy Krueger — Movies

As the sequels multiplied, Freddy changed. He began to talk. He developed a pitch-black sense of humor. By the time Dream Warriors and The Dream Master arrived, Freddy had become an anti-hero. The audience was no longer just screaming at him; they were laughing with him. He became the macabre host of the movie, delivering pun-laden one-liners while dispatching his victims in ironic ways (e.g., turning a video game addict into a 2D sprite).
