When you're virtually omnipotent in the dream world the way Freddy Krueger is, you can take an almost limitless host of different forms and appearances. This is part of what makes Fred such a memorable slasher. Here's a look back at some of the most famous (and infamous) incarnations of Elm Street's favorite psycho...
"Snake Freddy" devours Patricia Arquette in Dream Warriors.
In a twisted ode to Lewis Carroll, Krueger appears as a stoner caterpillar in Freddy vs. Jason.
It's a bird, it's a plane... no, it's Super Freddy, from The Dream Child.
"Welcome to prime time, bitch!" So says the rather crass Krueger in Part 3.
Freddy's charred skeleton battles the swarthy John Saxon, also from Part 3.
The very creepy marionette Freddy from Dream Warriors--damn, that movie has some good ones...
Cool, dude! Freddy on the beach in The Dream Master.
A cross-dressing Krueger, also from Part 4.
The notorious Power-Glove Krueger from Freddy's Dead--which leads to...
Video-Game Freddy! Probably not the franchise's finest moment.
And finally, also from Part 6, Wicked Witch Freddy. "I'll get you, my pretty! And your little soul, too!" Ugh.
