Freddy Krueger and the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise are the new targets of cancel culture. After four decades, people are now deciding he’s a bad guy (*eye roll). So, let’s talk about it. Why is Freddy on the chopping block? Because thanks to a video game, a conversation began with people calling out the fictional character (as in, he’s not real) for being a pedophile. Unraveling the Elm Street Lore Wes Craven originally envisioned a darker backstory before changing the final script for the first film. The theatrical 1984 film explicitly presents the villain as a child killer, not a creep. Decades later, the 2010 reboot changed the character’s lore, turning him into a pedo. Let’s be honest, the movie crap to begin with, but controversy fuels ticket sales. What’s more, neither Wes Craven nor Robert Englund were involved with that movie. Samuel Bayer directed it, and Jackie Earle Haley played Freddy, and we all know how that went.
