After watching her mom get killed and pulled into the mirror by Freddy Krueger, Nancy gets blamed for her mom's murder at the hands of the dream demon and is sentenced to a insane asylum where is believed she killed her mother as a result of not letting go of her repressed memories combined with developing schizophrenia even though she doesn't have schizophrenia. Although she tries to clear her name saying that her dreams weren't repressed memories and talking about Freddy and how he's able to kill people in their dreams resulting in them dying in the real world but no one believes her and she is sent away and locked up in the Springwood mental asylum where her mental state began getting worse and worse. She starts the jump rope girls song and decorating her cell with drawings of Freddy and his finger knife glove and has shaved off all of her hair, the staff try to rid her of her so called repressed memories and schizophrenic delusions to no avail as it makes her more mentally unstable and the staff have no choice but to just leave her alone as it's most likely she'll never mentally recover.

In his free time, Freddy tells stories (all 44 episodes of the show) to dead souls in hell as he is in hell after being killed in Freddy's Dead. This is what Freddy did in his free time there until he was able to leave Hell.

This can explain the continuity errors present in the show as Freddy is changing the true story around to make it the way he would’ve liked it to go down (in the episodes where Freddy is present in the storyline). Therefore the tv show is canon to the films.

I was watching Freddy's Dead the other night when I noticed that in Doc's office there were certificates and degrees hanging on his wall. In one scene, a name is mostly legible: Robert K.(?) Anthony. Unless someone else is sharing his office, o think it's safe to assume that the plaques belong to Doc.

I got this idea after seeing the "Atop The Fourth Wall" reviews for the A Nightmare on Elm Street: Paranoid comic series.

During that series, we briefly get what appears to be a scene of the main character - Claire - confronting Freddy in the Dream World before managing to grab him and wake up; dragging Freddy back into the real world (with Claire been at Westin Hills at the time with her Dad and Boyfriend).

However, rather than repeating the failed approach from the past and trying to kill him, she calls for her Dad and her boyfriend to grab Freddy and lock him up in a cell - which they succeed in doing.

While this situation offered some interesting ideas that could be played with, the comic sadly squanders it by revealing that Claire waking up and capturing Freddy didn't happen and she's still in the Dream World.

However, this got me thinking; there could be a way to stop Freddy this way if they succeeded in pulling him out of the Dream World.

If they succeeded in doing so (which admittedly would be very dangerous as Freddy has proven) and were able to restrain Freddy, what if they then gave him enough Hypnocil to put him into a dreamless coma - as was shown in Freddy vs. Jason where there was a room of people who were comatose from overdosing on the experimental drug?

With Freddy alive but comatose, and with the Hypnocil-induced coma also cutting him off from the Dream World since the drug stops you from dreaming, it gives the people in the real world time to sort things out again so that Freddy is forgotten about, thus preventing people been afraid of him if they can't remember him.

Heck, in this situation the Dream Demons who gave Freddy his powers might decide to strip him of those powers since Freddy can no longer do his job; effectively having a "To hell with this - we're off!" moment and leaving their former 'agent' to age and eventually rot.

(A similarity would be what happened in Nightmare Warriors when Freddy used the Necronomicon to grant himself reality-altering power and hoard it all for himself, with the angry Dream Demons declaring him of been "unworthy" and stripping him of both his Dream and Necronomicon powers).

Granted, this plan could still potentially backfire (in horror franchises, something usually does), but this could at least keep him down for a while if handled right.

Curious to see what you guys think of this.

Hellooo!

It's spooky season, the time where we eat too many sweets (candy, I'm from the UK) and either get bored during a horror flick that disappoints, or sleep with the lights on a week later thinking an axe-wielding killer is lurking round the corner.

This Halloween, Fandom is highlighting the Villains that make up some iconic horror franchises. We celebrated the Final Girls a while ago, now it's time for the Villains to take center stage.

We need YOUR help! We really want to drill down into what makes a good villain. Who is the best villain? What makes them scary? Why do we sleep at night with the lights on? (or is that just me?)

I would love it if you could share some of your insights with me, so I could quote you in the blog. If you don't know where to start, I'd love to hear more about:

• What makes a good villain?

• What’s the appeal to editing wikis about “bad guys”?

• If you were a villain, what do you think your origin story would be?

• Has there been an instance where you were really rooting for the villain to win over the heroes? What was it and why?

• What is your favourite villain-themed fun fact?

Any questions, let me know and I can't wait to hear back from all of you!

There are two reasons why I want to become an administrator of this wiki:

1) So that I can deal with any sock-puppet who tries to vandalize the wiki by posting proxy images of Freddy Krueger.

2) I want to update the theme designer of this wiki by adding both a png logo and a background image to make the wiki much more colorful and more beautiful than ever.

Hey all! Fandom observed Women's History Month in March by embracing equity through the lens of women, femme-identifying and non-binary people building the “tables” in industries where they often do not have a seat. We've had various programming from a playlist (listen to it here if you haven't already!) to interviews for women gamers (see here).

With March being over, so did Women's History Month come to an end. That said though, I am going to take liberty to still advertise one last thing in April, as it involved the horror community!

On the final day of Women's History Month, Fandom released a Final Girls Feature! The absolute highlights are:

• A Final Girls-inspired playlist with over 100 songs all performed by women and femme-identifying people! From well-known horror soundtracks to bobs giving off that Final Girl "don't mess with me" vibe, the entire playlist itself tells the story of the evolution of a Final Girl: from normal teenager to full-fledged powerhouse seeking to take down the killer by any means necessary (and some close calls with death along the way).

• Final Girls: The Trading Cards: a completely unique and newly created Final Girls deck featuring 24 heroines who defied all odds of survival and came out victorious!

Check out this absolute amazing card about Nancy and head over to the blog to find 23 other horror queens!

• A dedicated Final Girls Wiki, intended to serve as a home for these amazing women where you can read more about them all in one place. your favorite one has a page!

So head over to the blog and let Mandy and Mike, the two Fandom staff members who are the masterminds behind the trading cards and playlist, know what you think about it all by leaving a comment!

Eyo! I'm Lostris, a Fandom WIki Representatives working with entertainment communities. Per good tradition, Halloween is the time of year to celebrate the dark side of entertainment, and that's exactly why I'm here!

Rather than just me telling people in a horror-themed blog at the end of the month about why celebrating Halloween is fun and watching horror movies is a whole mood, we'd like the users of our horror communities to be the ones to tell others. You're the experts after all!

As such, I would love it if you could share some of your experiences and insights with me, so I could -- with your permission of course -- quote you in the blog. If you don't know where to start, I'd love to hear more about:

• Why do you love horror?

• Why do you work on horror wikis?

• Do you like being scared by horror stories?

• Why should anyone give horror stories a try?

• What do you like about your/the horror community?

• What is your favorite horror movie that you wish everyone would watch?

You don't have to answer all. Any and all opinions you have are fine.

Can't wait to hear back from all of you!

The 2010 reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, isn't considered a canon film in the Slasher film series, but Freddy vs. Jason, a crossover film that uses elements from the Friday the 13th films, is a part of the series?
