here's some 10 facts about a nightmare on elm street part 1
10- freddy's loook was originally intended to have parts of his skull showing puss coming out of his eyes teeth showing from his jaw but the special effects artist said it was too hard to do and would require a robot and would look extremely dumb with live actors ( later proven wrong by the film child's play which chucky the killer doll was a robot)
9-john F kennedy was assinated on Elm Street in Dallas
8- the name freddy krueger came from a bully that wes knew as a child
7- freddy was originally intended to be a silent killer
6-the original look for freddy was based off a hobo
5-the script was made in 1981 and no one accepted it until 1984
4-johnny depp wa soriginally chosen becuase the producers daughter thought he was "dreamy"
3-the red and gren sweater was chosen becuase wes claimed it would be difficult on the eyes
2- the claw idea came from wes cravens cat who had retarctible claws
1-the dying in dreams was inspired by a newspaper article wes read in a cafee in 1980 and taht people died in their sleep under mysterious circumstances thus gave the idea of a boogeyman invadidng peoples dreams and killing them
EDIT: the original look as mentioned in number 10 can be seen on the original poster of nightmare on elm st where freddy and nancy can be seen and the " biomechanical claw blades" can be seen as well also wes only wnated this to be a stand alone film thus the reason why he did not participate in nightmare 2 but however did participate in 3 which he wanted to be the "final" one but there were disagreements and he left nightmare on elm street. EDIT: freddy's look was inspire dby a disfigured hobo wes encountered as a child (thanks darkness!)
