Freddy Krueger
FREDDY KRUEGER — CANONICAL BUILD
Overview
Freddy Krueger is built around the red-and-green horizontal-striped sweater and the clawed glove. Add a battered brown fedora, dark trousers, work boots and full burn-scar makeup or a burn prosthetic mask. The sweater should look worn and slightly oversized; the glove is the hero prop and deserves the budget.
