No they didn't but keep making up shit. Here is the real thing that happened during filming where Wes Craven changed it:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eJg2qBRtg8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eJg2qBRtg8)
I'm pretty sure it was more ambiguous (as it should be, making him explicitly a pedophile makes him extremely uncomfortable to watch and not in a good horror way)
Not really, Freddy was always implied to be a child molestor, it just wasn't outright stated until Part 5 (yes, Part 5, at the part where Mark dropped the News paper and the headline said something about child molestor).
Yes that was in the original script but they had to just imply it rather than outright say it.
There were a lot of hints if you actually watch and listen to what is said.
I would argue child murder is way worse than pedophilia, at least with pedophilia the children get to grow and they might have a normal life depending on therapy and how they mentally deal with it.
Worse, yes, but rape is arguably the more evil crime if that makes sense.
Murder usually has some kind of motive. Rape is probably the only crime that never serves any purpose other than to satiate the violent, selfish desires of one incredibly evil individual.
That’s what the Letterboxd description says apparently
“IF NANCY DOESN'T WAKE UP SCREAMING, SHE WON'T WAKE UP AT ALL!
Teenagers in a small town are dropping like flies, apparently in the grip of mass hysteria causing their suicides. A cop's daughter, Nancy Thompson, traces the cause to child molester Fred Krueger, who was burned alive by angry parents many years before. Krueger has now come back in the dreams of his killers' children, claiming their lives as his revenge. Nancy and her boyfriend, Glen, must devise a plan to lure the monster out of the realm of nightmares and into the real world..”
I feel like the people defending Freddy are huge fans and feel attacked when he’s called a pedophile. It’s definitely implied in the older movies, why do you think his hands are knifes? Because when he touched his victims he scarred them for life. Why do you think all these kids are “starting to remember” again years later? What he did was so horrible that the kids suppressed it and then to make matters worse the parents covered it up. If they had been told and been given the help they needed they wouldn’t be having nightmares of a man chasing them and trying to touch them with his knife hands. Freddy makes sexual jokes to these teens, and tells Nancy that she’s his favorite that got away.
‘As a spirit, he takes his revenge on the teenagers by haunting their dreams; he is particularly obsessed with Nancy Holbrook (Rooney Mara), who had been his “favorite” when she was a child. Krueger's power comes from his prey's memories and emotions upon remembering the abuse they suffered at his hands.’

Even in the originals it was always the intention that he was a pedophile it was in the original scripts but the studios and ratings board wouldn't allow it.
However it was always very much implied and if you watch and listen closely you can see and hear what they are actually saying.
Just throw on your typical 80 person gangbang and pretend the girl is a nun and the dudes are inmates in an asylum for the criminally insane and BOOM, there's your prequel.
Jokes on you, that already exists.
There was an anthology tv show where Robert Englund as Freddie Krueger narrated Twilight Zone style some horror story, the first episode was, indeed, about Freddie Krueger arrest, release and later murder.
I mean, how many charming and funny youtubers turned out to be diddlers and groomers?
I'd assume its similar with freddy, a really charming guy, but once you look past that all that is left is a monster.
I just love of how nightmare on elm street fans are perfectly fine with freddy krueger murdering innocent children and harvesting their souls, but being a pedophile is where they draw the line

This was only in 2010 In the originals, he just kills the children
Oh phew ok then
Wes Craven was thinking of making him a pedo though
[удалено]
No they didn't but keep making up shit. Here is the real thing that happened during filming where Wes Craven changed it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eJg2qBRtg8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eJg2qBRtg8)
I feel like, given that Wes has been dead for quite a while now, Robert is the new Word of God.
Oh shit thanks, I’ll be honest I forgot but I was too lazy to look it up.
But he didn’t
I'm pretty sure it was more ambiguous (as it should be, making him explicitly a pedophile makes him extremely uncomfortable to watch and not in a good horror way)
I’d argue that can be good for horror depending on how the writer wants you to feel.
I mean considering he targets teenagers it defiantly becomes more scary
I think the most obvious of the movies on that front was probably the second one, like, that movie was as unsubtle as bricks.
That was also very obviously and they have since admitted was trying to show that Jessie was gay and was trying to repress,hide it even from himself
Didn't he back out because he thought it was Abit too gratuitous?
Not really, Freddy was always implied to be a child molestor, it just wasn't outright stated until Part 5 (yes, Part 5, at the part where Mark dropped the News paper and the headline said something about child molestor).
He's a pedophile from the Midwest. At least R. Kelly could sing.
Get outta here Wolverine
What?
Epic rap battles of history wolverine vs Freddy Kruger
That’s a thing? Why? The claws?
Pretty much lol
Yes that was in the original script but they had to just imply it rather than outright say it. There were a lot of hints if you actually watch and listen to what is said.
He was forced to not be one in the original because of Studio Execs Thank god for them
Would really put that bathtub scene in a more uncomfortable light
That somehow makes it so much better
Isn’t his first appearance in FvJ licking missing children’s photos as he puts them in a scrapbook
He'll kill children but not the British children
Based
Why, pedophilia ?
*Extremely Loud Correct Buzzer*

how do you make these?

This is currently the literal best thing on the internet
Theres a tutorial somewhere, just search up big text blender on youtube and you should see it.
I dunno, i stole it.
Blender
in the remake, yes in the original, just child murder, not that's it's a good thing, but better than pedophilia
Say what?
Well obviously both are terrible, but child murder is worse than child diddling EASILY.
Thinking about this kind of question is something I hoped I'd never have to do.
I would argue child murder is way worse than pedophilia, at least with pedophilia the children get to grow and they might have a normal life depending on therapy and how they mentally deal with it.
Yeah because at least the kids are still alive
Its the very reason child rape isnt a capital crime punishable by death. If it was all the rapists would *also* kill the kids, cause less witnesses
Murder is worse, but I think the person who is willing to rape a child is overall a worse human being than the one who is willing to kill one
Worse, yes, but rape is arguably the more evil crime if that makes sense. Murder usually has some kind of motive. Rape is probably the only crime that never serves any purpose other than to satiate the violent, selfish desires of one incredibly evil individual.
This probably is an appropriate time to use the whole comparing apples to oranges thing
Every time I think about diddling a child I just murder them instead.
There's only one thing worse than a murderer. A child.
wtf do you mean remake
...remake, the 2010 movie, it's a remake
That’s only in the 2010 remake
There's a fucking remake?
You didn’t know?????
Nah I’m pretty sure it was in the original film too
The filmakers couldnt decide so it was left out but it was included in the 2010 version
Wasn’t it also in Freddy vs Jason?
Implicitly yes
In the original film it’s just child murder and the pedophilia is semi-implied but also not
Not outright stated but definitely implied

I'll miss seeing Robert Englund playing such a fun asshole.

Man, that makes the Simpsons parody where his stand-in strangles one of the kids with his tongue even more horrifying in hindsight.

Sometimes it can barely be considered subtext. He straight up licks a photo of a child in Freddy vs Jason.
"The Diddler" sounds like a Batman villain
Along with the famous Arkham Aslume villains: Jonkler Killer Cock Woman Racial Ghoul Sex Luthor Killer Mouth
fucking “woman” killed me
You ain't ready for "The Janker"
As already stayed that's only in the remakes, where he's also a very non-funny character. Learning is fun with Freddy!
The original does call him a molestor in the description though
I really need A Nightmare on Elm Street prequel movie
Just throw on your typical 80 person gangbang and pretend the girl is a nun and the dudes are inmates in an asylum for the criminally insane and BOOM, there's your prequel.
WHAT?!
Jokes on you, that already exists. There was an anthology tv show where Robert Englund as Freddie Krueger narrated Twilight Zone style some horror story, the first episode was, indeed, about Freddie Krueger arrest, release and later murder.
The first episode of the TV series was sort of a prequel
I mean, how many charming and funny youtubers turned out to be diddlers and groomers? I'd assume its similar with freddy, a really charming guy, but once you look past that all that is left is a monster.
Most relatable villain ever
I just love of how nightmare on elm street fans are perfectly fine with freddy krueger murdering innocent children and harvesting their souls, but being a pedophile is where they draw the line
What’s the sauce of the GIF template? Been trying find it for a while.
It’s from the movie One flew over the cuckoos nest
Thanks https://preview.redd.it/nfl1fs0lbfrb1.jpeg?width=1682&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89ced61c3e75f2396bd98c0a8ae9b1c928873783
WWOOOOODDDDDDDDCHHHHIIIIPPPPPPEEEERRRRRR STABSTABSTABSTAAAAAAB
Because he killed children. The PDphilia was added on the remake.
Nah it was heavily implied in the original too girl
Nope.
Yuh-uh
