It's a Miserable Life

"No More Mr. Nice Guy" is the first episode of the 1st season of Freddy's Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Series.

Plot[]

Freddy Krueger has slain many children and teenagers, and is currently on the loose, but after a police officer catches Freddy trying to kill his daughters, Freddy is arrested. During the trial, the judge unfortunately discovers Freddy was never read his rights, so the judge must let him go, but it does not end there.

Synopsis[]

On this evening's program, the repulsive Freddy Kruger (Robert Englund) explains how he became the bon vivant and fashion plate who we know and hate so well. Freddy's ramblings lead to the evening's drama, all about a fellow who decides that the best way to get ahead is to stomp on everyone in his path.

Notes[]

  • Freddy's transformation into a malevolent spirit was foreshadowed when Lisa Blocker tries to dissuade her father from killing Freddy, warning him that 'it will only make it worse', which proved to be true, as when Lt. Blocker burned Freddy alive, this allowed the latter to become the demonic spirit he is now.
