Freddy's portrayal in this movie was actually pretty terrifying. The pool party massacre was insane. I wish the later movie had stuck with this Freddy as opposed to the joke he would become.

When it comes to this movie, some like to equate "serious" with "vicious" or "terrifying." This was Freddy at his most
serious
, sure, but he was far more
vicious
and/or
terrifying
in parts one and three. Next to
Freddy vs. Jason
, I'd argue that this is him at his least effective as a predator. Whenever Jesse absolutely decided that he wouldn't do his bidding, that was basically it for Krueger.

Yes I agree he was really vicious in this movie, and the later movies he became a comedian and cracked jokes before killing his victims. They should have made just the first two movies and not the movies when he became a joke.

This is probably my favorite portrayal from Robert Englund! OK, maybe it's tied with the original, but while he had some good moments in part three (His movements and his scenes in the underworld lair), he was more effective in one and two.
Really wish they'd make one final movie with Robert playing it like he did in this one and the original, with better makeup and a darker tone! -

Yeah, I'd say this was him at his scariest. The sequels he was just more a bully with supernatural powers. In this and the first one he was much more demonic and sinister. I don't count New Nightmare since it wasn't really Freddy to begin with.

I think he's pretty nasty in this one as well. They even based a fairground ride on it when I was a kid and it still exists (or has been replicated) recently.

Though I get the rants that his other ones had a comedic tone which I liked. I wouldve preferred just a bit less comic and more of this. Since this was the best I ever saw him. Too bad the writers couldnt see that. But to me this was the terrifying yet psychological and scary. He still couldve done the others ones but also some more of this. Too bad they missed on this since he is the most terrifying scarier of all time.
