Since When Is Freddy A Vampire?

[Nightmare_Dreaming]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while now, but didn't get around to it until now. At the end of A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 : Dream Warriors Freddy is killed with Holy Water and a Cross ... WTF? I thought that only worked on vampires?

Well, it didn't really work on him either considering the fact that they made more sequels. But, he's evil, so that was the reasoning behind the holy water working.

FREDDY'S bones were never buried. They were just stashed in the car junkyard. The nun tells us that FREDDY'S spirit won't be able to rest until he is given a proper burial. Until he is buried in hallowed ground as she put it. Thats why the cross and holy water worked. Dr. Gordan put the bones in the grave and used the cross and holy water to make the ground holy thus giving FREDDY the proper burial he needed to be defeated. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

Teenkiller, thanks for the reminder. Now I promised a theory on how Freddy was revived in ANOES4, and rather than start up a whole new thread, I'll put it here.

First of all, let's take a look at "The Dog Theory"
Most are wondering just how the heck flaming dog urine revived Freddy. Now someone speculated that it un-hallowed the ground that Freddy was buried in. Since this happened in Kincaid's dream, it's not likely since Freddy was buried in the "real world." But Freddy seems to have a limited reach outside of dreams. Now this could be possible because of different things.

1) Nancy brought him out of her dream, did she truly defeat him? The ending of ANOES1 makes us wonder. If it was just another dream, then how did it happen considering she took away his power, which was her fear of him?

2) I don't believe that Freddy was truly defeated in ANOES2, as much as he was just "pushed back."


Now myself, I think that the dog was a red herring, and led us away from something.

As we know, Freddy can be killed in the real world, just like anyone else. But his real world death led to his power in the dream world. If Freddy is brought out of a dream, and killed in the real world why can't he just simply revive himself in the dream world? Kincaid told Kristen that she would stir him up again, all Freddy needed was a little fear to feed on.

Freddy feeds on fear, it empowers him, and as long as someone somewhere is afraid of Freddy, he'll be able to return. In a way, he's not real, he is, in a sense a nightmare himself.


Well, how's that?

You know, sometimes people can dig just a little TOO deep into movies.

i never thought of him as vampire nor want too...

That would have actually made a cool dream... Someone dreams of being in Draculas Castle.... Then instead of Dracula, Freddy comes out in Draculas cape, bites the girl on the neck, and then says "Hows that for a bite on the neck, Bitch".... A nice homage to the old 30's movies....


That could have also been a very bad idea... It does sound corny...

I dont know... I mean back in the day they had Freddy riding a broom doing a witch cackle... This guy could have done anything, especially in Freddys dead... That movie was too kiddie IMO. The Nintendo kill, etc...

thats actually a cool idea man,seriously,i dig it.

Oh well, I said I'd deliver a theory on ANOES 4 and I did.

The Freddy/Dracula idea sounded cool, maybe we'll see that happen if they make more movies after F v.s J.
