“	Welcome to my world, b*tch!	„
	~ 0:00 Freddy's catchphrase

Frederick Charles Krueger (best known as Freddy Krueger) is a monster of pure evil and one of Jack the Clown's underlings. He served as one of the three sub-icons for Halloween Horror Nights: Carnival of Carnage and was the main icon of Live Your Worst Nightmare. He originated from the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series.

Storyline

Orlando

Jack’s Carnival of Carnage

A man who is steeped deep into darkness internally, was burned alive by the parents of the children he murdered. This would come back to literally haunt them, as Freddy resided in a realm of sleep. He would use its warping powers to kill children in their dreams which would kill them in real life. As part of Adaru’s plot, Ringmaster Jack chose him a one of the main attractions for his traveling carnival.

Hollywood

A man who was given freedom to murder children in their sleep ironically due to retribution by grieving parents. He once was a part of the Carnival helmed by a mental patient. The following year, he himself dragged Universal Studios Hollywood into some sort of ”living dream” status where he and his nightmare minions went loose on the backlot. The mysterious dark energy allowed him to come back in following years.

Domains

• Hell’s Furnace
• The Carnival of Carnage
• Universal Studios Hollywood (only in 2008 where he trapped it in living dream status)

Uses in the Events

Universal Orlando

• Freddy was shown in most promotional materials for Jack's Carnival and had a house of his own named A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dreamwalkers in 2007. His makeup and sweater from the TV ad were shown in the museum in the Secrets of the Sideshow tour. Clips from his films could be found on the lagoon globes.

• Halloween Horror Nights 25 reunited him with Jack and Jason once more, where Jack had The Sensational Slasher and The Masked Master of the Machete square off in the circus house.

Universal Studios Hollywood

• 2008 saw his biggest use in the parks as he served as the main icon for the event that year, appearing in all the print and online adverts or at least mentioned. Alongside his house, he appeared in the main scarezone at the gate (in statue sunglass form) and took over the Terror Tram.
• 2010 used the remake version.
• 2016 brought a Freddy vs Jason house there and he was present with the marketing alongside Michael Myers and Leatherface. 2017 both had a Titans of Terror maze and tram with Freddy present.

Trivia

• A Nightmare on Elm Street: Never Sleep Again saw the only use of remake Freddy at Halloween Horror Nights, whereas every other one is based on the original.
• In Hollywood, John Murdy played the voice of Freddy Krueger every time Freddy officially appeared at that event.
• Speaking of voices, the first time Freddy officially appeared in Orlando in 2007, the voice for Freddy used a normal voice that actually sounds similar to Robert Englund’s natural voice. This is opposed to every other use of the character in the parks (including 2015 in Orlando) which use the familiar deep voice.
• Many incarnations use a red and black color scheme as opposed to red and green.
