Does Glen die in Nightmare on Elm Street? As he was dying at the hands of the furious townspeople he was visited by dream demons who offered him eternal life if he continued to collect souls. Craven was unhappy at the continuing franchise and later additions to the back story which changed Krueger from an intimidating and thoroughly evil being into a wise cracking, anti-hero character. He felt the first film could stand alone and the original ending would have been Nancy turning her back on Krueger and telling him he was nothing, showing that evil could be confronted and diminished.

The producers had other ideas though and would not miss the opportunity to start a hugely profitable series of sequels. Craven turned down the offer to direct the first sequel as he was unimpressed with the script. New Line approached him again to direct the third film and although he wouldn't take the directors chair he agreed to write the script, however once he turned it over it was rewritten and this led to an acrimonious dispute.

Despite the bad blood Craven was approached again about the fourth film but his pitch was rejected and he didn't get involved. Eventually after the awful sixth film Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare Craven resolved his differences with New Line who agreed to reward him for the success he had brought them.

An agreement was reached to allow Craven to make New Nightmare which brought a new twist to the franchise suggesting the abstract evil of Freddy was released when they stopped making the films and bringing together some of the original cast to battle him.

There's no other series quite like it, and there's certainly no villain like Freddy Krueger. He's portrayed by Robert Englund in all of the films, until the critically panned remake in which he was played by Jackie Earle Haley. Freddy is a very iconic villain, with a lot of distinguishing and well-known traits. He wears a brown fedora with a red and green striped sweater. He's covered in burns. His signature weapon, a glove with knives on the fingers. And he's a wisecracking, funny, villain that steals the show.

Though he's seen as a bit more of a goofy, lighthearted, kind of villain, his backstory is intense. And what he does, is terrifying. Freddy is somewhat of a dream demon , and he terrorizes teens while they sleep. When he kills them in their dreams, they of course end up also being killed in real life.
