4. Never sleep again

One horror film character that fans have grown to love (or hate) is Nightmare on Elm Street’s disfigured and menacing, Freddy Kruger. The character, who was a serial killer of children when he was alive, struck a deal with the devil to be resurrected when was set ablaze by angry townsfolk, giving rise to the horribly disfigured monster that haunts the dreams of hapless victims. In addition to his hideous appearance, Kruger’s hand contraption of sharp, metal claws complete the murderous character’s on-screen presence.
