Is it just me...
 

...or am I the only one who doesn't think Freddy Krueger is cool?

Not the countless kids who post under that name, but the actual character...

I love horror movies, of course, but the "Nightmare" series were always so...blah to me. And besides that, as I mentioned, the guy just isn't...cool...

Granted, some of his "kills" were pretty neat, but the guy himself, his "style" is so...lame! Since when were vests and fedoras cool? C'mon, gimme a break!

Yeah, I know I'm gonna get hell for this, but that's just part of the fun...

Lay it on me!

I never really thought of him solely as a character but appreciated the series for its orginality and quality through substance

ITS JUST YOU! Freddy Krueger is a cool and amazing character in the Nightmare movies!

Yep...I think it's just you...:D

AMEN!

honestly
 

ive always liked the series. that bitch in the body bag always gave me the creeps. but really i only thought freddy looked scary in new nightmare. kind of an uber, more industrial freddy, lost the hat, gained some giant boots and a nice trench coat. i thought he looked dope as fuck like that. but yeah really before that he did kinda looked like a jackass. like "oh shit that dude with bad acne and a sweater is coming for us!!!"

Hey! Lets not forget his sick twisted and evil mind! His right-bladed-gloved-hand and his evil sinse of humor! Freddy is E.V.I.L. He is the boogeyman!

Freddy Krueger is probably the most original horror icon in the business.

What do you mean by that. . .

Look at all of the other famous killers. Michael wears a white mask, Jason wears a white mask... it's pretty much all the same. Freddy is a very original character. The only villain even close to Freddy is Chucky.
