Freddy Krueger True Power?

Hey everyone! Since so many people love my deep analyzing research of characters like Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th so why not make a new set for other slashers and horror monsters? And what's better to start with a Rival of Jason himself! Robert Englund's own Freddy Krueger! This thread will primarily focus on the POWERS not the characters origins.


Its revealed in their 1st appearance in the A Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise was in  Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare where it's introduced that they are the true reason behind the power of Freddy Krueger.

Conceptually they are by all means Non-Corporeal entities, they don't have a physical form and stay in a "Astral" or in other terms "Spiritual" state of being.

It's honestly safe to assume they can't use their power without a willing host as shown in the film:

Dream Demon 1: "Freddy... We know what you want.

Freddy Krueger: I WANT IT ALL!"

Dream Demon 1: "Of course, you do."

Dream Demon 2: "Then open up."

Dream Demon 3: "And you shall be...FOREVER!"

So things I can confirm:

1. They are by all means dimensional travelers from the physical and conscious planes.

2. They need a HOST to interact with the real world or else they don't exist.
