Nightmare On Elm Street: Everyone Freddy Krueger Ever Killed
Freddy Krueger has claimed many victims in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and here's an accounting of everyone Freddy has killed.

As has become horror movie legend, Freddy was eventually hunted down by the parents of his victims and burned alive in an act of vigilante justice. Sadly, this only gave Freddy more power, due to his striking of a deal with some ancient dream demons, as revealed by Freddy's Dead.
