RSS Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 For all intents and purposes he should be cinema's most terrifying figure. He is a sadistic, grotesque pedophile, whose power is only limited by his twisted psychopathic imagination. So why is it that Freddy Krueger is played for laughs?

Chops Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I agree wholeheartedly with you. I always found it ridiculous that a character such as Kruger was being played in a way to get laughs from the audience. He was pedophile when he was alive and should be despised as such. I think you hit the nail on the head with your remark about the branding of the character leading to the comedic value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
