Film. In A Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy is introduced as a serial child killer, Fred Krueger, from the fictitious town of Springwood, Ohio, who kills his victims with a bladed leather glove he crafted in a boiler room where he used to take his 20 victims.

In a post-ending scene, Afton is shown forever trapped within the suit, implying that, just like the children, his soul is bound to the puppet. However, the rabbit animatronic is severely damaged in a janitor's storage room, rendering him immobile as the ghost of Golden Freddy, now out of the suit, locks him in alone.
