Freddy, of course, is Freddy Krueger, the most durable of modern horror monsters - a hideously scarred man in a felt fedora, who has knives for fingers.
With her fame as Nancy Thompson in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) resurfacing, lead actress Heather Langenkamp catches the attention of a sinister telephone stalker. But ten years after the release of the original nightmare, escalating violence coincides with the mysterious emergence of an all-too-familiar tormentor haunting the dreams of Heather's son, Dylan.

Robert Englund also has a strange knowledge of it, describing the new Freddy to Nancy, only shortly after disappearing from all contact.
