Chapter 1: His Name…
…was Frederick Charles Krueger. The Bastard Child of a hundred maniacs; born from the fires of hell, and the womb of a worshiper of God, Amanda Krueger. Born in 1907 and decided to become a nun, choosing "Mary Helena" as her name in Christ. Her first assignment as a nun was to care for the inmates in Westin Hills hospital, including the infamous tower (where the most insane patients were locked up). Only a few days away from the 1940s Christmas, Amanda was accidentally locked in the tower when the guards were in a hurry to go home to their families. She was left alone with the inmates for several days, and she was brutally raped and beaten many times during this ordeal. When she was finally found, she was barely alive — and pregnant. Nine months later, Amanda gave birth to the boy. Shortly after, the infant was given over to the state and adopted by Mr. Underwood, an abusive alcoholic.
In 1966, Freddy was finally arrested for the murders of 20 neighborhood children, after a young Kathryn finally confessed regarding he mother's disappearance. After Krueger's arrest, Kathryn was placed in the care of adoption services. Her new identity and whereabouts remain a mystery.
In 1968, Freddy Krueger's trial began and was soon cut short when it was discovered that the search warrant to obtain evidence was not signed correctly. All evidence for the trail was deemed inadmissible and Krueger was released. Later that night, a group of grieving and outraged parents formed a mob and tracked Freddy back to his liar in the boiler room. The mob encircled the lair, pouring gasoline around the boiler room and igniting it. In addition, Molotov cocktails were thrown through the lair's windows setting its interior ablaze. The mob stood motionless until Krueger perished in the flames.
The parents involved with Krueger's death agreed to keep the incident secret and help erase his existence. Krueger's remains were taken to Penny Bros. Auto Salvage and hid in the trunk of an old red Cadillac.
Amanda Krueger, who had been following Freddy's trial, heard of his release and hanged herself in the tower where she was raped. Afterward, her body was sealed in the condemned tower and a memorial stone was placed in the Springwood cemetery for Amanda, her name in Christ: Sister Mary Helen.
However, years after Krueger's death; mysterious deaths were reported in the teenage population of Springwood. The first and majority of victims were children of the parents who were involved with Krueger's death, but stranger was the victims reportedly died in their sleep. Those affected reported a man trying to kill them in their nightmares. This man wore a red and green sweater, old brown fedora, was horribly burned, and wore a glove on his right hand with four metal knives on the fingers; many children also claimed to know his name: Fred Krueger. Most parents dismissed the idea that Krueger had returned to take his revenge, believing that the deaths were the result of suicide.
In 1981, one girl dared to go against what the parents of Springwood were saying, that there was a man in their dreams killing them; her name was Nancy Thompson, daughter of Donald and Marge Thompson who were there when Krueger burned. Using her intelligence and her bravery, she dared look death in the face and turn calling it nothing. Although she won the battle, Freddy won the war; killing her friends and forcing her to leave Springwood.
It would only be 6 years later when the 2 would face again; at Freddy's birthplace, now a psychiatric hospital were the last of the Elm Street children–the last remaining children of the vigilantes who killed Freddy, remained. Nancy taught them about Freddy and how each of them has their own dream powers; they became the Dream Warriors. They faced Freddy and defeated him, but came at a great cost, with half the group dead, including Nancy.
The surviving Dream Warriors tried to get back to their normal lives; however, Freddy returns more powerful than before, and kills the Dream Warriors one by one, until they are all killed. But not before being witnessed by their new friend, Alice Johnson. Realizing she has the power to absorb the dream powers of her friends and control her dreams, she quickly turns from the shy, daydreamer to the Dream Master. Facing Krueger in a climactic battle, she eventually uses her Dream Master Powers to release the souls of Freddy's victims, thus making him powerless and killing him.
A year after, Alice returned to a normal life with her boyfriend, with her newfound confidence and her graduation, her life seems to be at its best, until her boyfriend is killed in a car accident and she finds out she is pregnant. When dreaming one night, she accidentally dreams about Krueger's birth and resurrects him. With the help of Amanda Krueger's spirit, a mysterious boy called Jacob and her friends, she discovers Krueger is using the dreams of her unborn son to attack the children again. Also, that her unborn son is really Jacob; after another battle which Freddy seems to win, Jacob uses his powers and takes away Freddy's powers, and Amanda traps Freddy inside her and both of them in the tower.
16 years have passed in Springwood, and there has been no children dying in their sleeps, no talk of a burned man with knives for fingers. Alice and Jacob have been living their lives as normal as possible, but they will soon discover that as the Dream Master and Dream Child, they will never have normal lives. And that the spirit of Freddy Krueger won't be put to rest so easily.
