"Before making New Nightmare, Wes Craven watched all of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films. By the time he was finished, he claimed that he could not follow the storyline at all. He further regards the sequels to be weak compared to his original masterpiece." A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) | New Nightmare (1994) dir. Wes Craven

My ridiculous headcanon is that Freddy Krueger is the same kind of demon as the Kandarian Demon summoned by the Necronomicon ex Mortis in Evil Dead. Bizarrely, the lynchpin to this idea is an Easter egg in Jason Goes to Hell: the Final Friday

“He throws me up against the wall,” explained Langenkamp, “and if you’ll notice, right next to my head it says LUST. Nancy and Freddy’s relationship has always had a sexual component and, to me, that is just the embodiment of our battle.”

Hello!! Random question about NN Freddy: If I remember correctly, there’s a scene in the movie where someone says the Entity taking on Freddy’s form has probably taken on the form of other characters in the past. Do you have a headcanon for other forms that Entity has taken on?

Holy SHIT I love this question thank you so much. Please excuse the length I have a lot of thoughts.

SO.

Given that the Entity is said to feed on fear and “the death of innocence”, I think he’s been the villain of the story about 95% of the time. He’s cruel and vain and sadistic, and I think he enjoys it.

With all the religious imagery and themes associated with the ANOES franchise and in New Nightmare itself, I think the Entity played the role of the serpent in the Bible. I mean, it’s one of the most widely known loss of innocence stories. Plus, I feel like it’s a bit implied in the movie itself. The Entity summons a snake to prevent Dylan from escaping, and he transforms into a demonic horned creature before his defeat. I also think he’s occupied the villain/monster role in a variety of other regional myths and legends – including Greek and Roman, judging by the architecture in his hell world.

But going into pure headcanon territory, I headcanon that he was the dragon that killed Beowulf, Kronos in Greek mythology, and Dracula in the original Bram Stoker novel. He found a home in quite a few German expressionist films, including Nosferatu, before being attracted to American horror cinema with 1931’s Dracula. I also headcanon that he occupied the roles of the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz and the alien from Alien (I hc the latter because of Freddy's propensity for using his tongue, considering what the xenomorph does with its own oral appendage).

And then, of course, in the early 1980s Wes Craven started crafting a certain little slasher flick…. and, well, we know the rest.
