Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy in the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot from 2010. In the 2010 remake of the original film, Freddy's backstory is that he was a groundskeeper at Springwood Badham Preschool who tortured and sexually abused the teenage protagonists of the film when they were children.
The film also reveals that when Freddy reached adulthood, he married a woman named Loretta whom he fathered a daughter named Katherine. After the birth of his daughter, he tried to lead a normal life, but his murderous nature eventually overcame him and he murdered 20 children on Elm Street between 1963 and 1966.
Despite the fact that he sometimes uses it to kill his victims, Freddy appears to be afraid of fire (as it was by fire that he died his mortal death). If fire is used against him in a dream, he can be pulled into the waking world.
Consequently, fire is one of the few things he fears. In his dream world, Freddy is invincible. However, when Freddy is pulled into the real world, he is the most vulnerable and can be killed.

Is Freddy good or bad?
Summary. Freddy Fazbear is not truly evil, as his actions are motivated by revenge against his killer, and perhaps issues of mistaken identities. Different versions of Freddy have different motivations, with some being redeemable despite their malicious actions, such as Funtime Freddy contributing to Burntrap's defeat.
Seemingly a nice and innocent animatronic entertainer for children, he is actually possessed by the soul of a child named Gabriel and actively tries to kill the security guards of at least two Freddy Fazbear's Pizza locations, which he mistakes for his murderer.
Freddy was designed as an animatronic entertainer for children. He laughs in order to have a fun and friendly appearance for the little kiddies. It's just a recording of course, since he's a robot. Now he's gone haywire the laugh recording is being played when laughter isn't really warranted, which brings us to…
Jason ultimately defeats Freddy despite appearing to die in the process, stabbing him with Freddy's own claws before falling into Crystal Lake, though if he did this to continue battling Freddy or for some reason save Lori for saving him earlier is unknown.
The parents burned Freddy because he'd slipped through the justice system on a legal technicality and they wanted him to pay for his crimes. He was a serial child murderer that the justice system failed to put away, so the neighborhood parents formed a lynch mob and killed him.
Freddy was raised by an abusive adoptive father named Mr. Underwood, who Freddy ultimately killed as a teenager. After Freddy was later accused of murdering dozens of children but got off on a technicality, Amanda committed suicide.
Years later, Fred Krueger, now an adult, was responsible for the deaths of several children in Springwood. He was eventually captured and arrested, and the trial made local news. When Amanda heard about her son's actions, she returned to the tower room where it all began and took her own life by hanging herself.
The mob douses the building with gasoline and sets it on fire, burning Krueger alive. While his body dies, his spirit lives on in the dreams of a group of teenagers living in his old neighborhood, whom he preys on by entering their dreams and killing them.
One night, after sleeping with her boyfriend, Tina is attacked in a dream during a sleepover and murdered by Freddy Krueger, her body dragged up the wall and across the ceiling. Her boyfriend Rod is suspected and arrested. Freddy uses images of the dead Tina to torment Nancy when she falls asleep.
Her birth name was Katherine Krueger, but her name was changed to Maggie Burroughs when her father was arrested and subsequently murdered. Doc discovers that Freddy's power comes from dream demons who continually revive him and that Freddy can be killed if he is pulled into the real world.
Freddy tries to kill Gibb in a nightmare, but Jason kills her first in the real world along with others at the rave, angering Freddy, who realizes that Jason's killing spree will deny him victims.
Does intelligence really matter in this epic match-up of two of the most notorious killers of horror yesteryear? Certainly, it does. Freddy Krueger will out-wit Michael Meyers, brains over brawn. He is a cunning manipulator and antagonist, playing on Michael's emotions and luring him into a world of confusion.
When anyone thinks of Jason, the image of the iconic hockey mask instantly comes to mind. However, for the fans, the face behind the mask is always a highlight. Usually saved until the climactic final act, Jason's face is revealed, and over the course of eleven movies, each unmasked Jason is unique to each film.
Personality… psychopathic and twisted. Freddy is driven only by his desire to kill. An insatiable sadist, Freddy delights in terrifying his targets before killing them, and will often spend weeks twisting the dreams of his quarry before moving in for the fatal blow.
Freddy Fazbear: The original incarnation of Freddy who appeared in the first Five Nights at Freddy's game. He is a brown bear animatronic who is possessed by the ghost of a murdered child named Gabriel, who is also one of the Missing Children.
Freddy Krueger is the main antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. He is a legendary serial killer and was a child murderer in life and in death, a malovolent ghost who killed his victims in their dreams.
The reason most animatronics are fooled by the mask is obviously because they think it is a animatronic but would it not be suspicious to see the same 'animatronic' in the office doing work. This shows animatronics don't have very good AI except Foxy and the Puppet.
Freddy (also Freddi and Freddie) is a diminutive used by both men and women whose names contain the Germanic element -fred, notable examples of such being Frederick, Frederica, and Alfred.
