The American Film Institute (AFI) revealed the top 50 heroes and top 50 villains of all time in AFI's 100 Years… 100 Heroes & Villains. This is an amazing compliment for the character.

Freddy Krueger made #40.


The jurors were asked to consider the following criteria while making their selections:

*Feature-Length Fiction Film: The film must be in narrative format, typically more than 60 minutes in length.

*American Film: The film must be in the English language with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States.

*Hero: For voting purposes, a "hero" was defined as a character(s) who prevails in extreme circumstances and dramatizes a sense of morality, courage and purpose. Though they may be ambiguous or flawed, they often sacrifice themselves to show humanity at its best.

*Villain: For voting purposes, a "villain" was defined as a character(s) whose wickedness of mind, selfishness of character and will to power are sometimes masked by beauty and nobility, while others may rage unmasked. They can be horribly evil or grandiosely funny, but are ultimately tragic.

*Cultural Impact: Characters who have a made a mark on American society in matters of style and substance.

*Legacy: Characters who elicit strong reactions across time, enriching America's film heritage while continuing to inspire contemporary artists and audiences.

Fan Will Sanders submitted a great story about his family enjoying the Nightmare re-release and also included some fun pictures. See below:

“The picture with Robert Englund is at the FX Show Convention in Orlando, FL. last January. Robert Englund is a truly great actor and person. The picture has me Will Sanders and my son Jakob. We are really big fans of Nightmare, as well as the horror genre.

I am a theater manager that devotes my whole life to films, and last September we got an email from New Line stating that the original Nightmare on Elm Street would be showing in Sarasota for two nights only. It is about 60 miles from where we live, but was well worth the trip to see the original. We got my Freddy Glove out and my wife Harmoni, my son Jakob and I took off for the show. It was great! Everyone clapped and applauded as the lights lowered and as the title came up. We all clapped when we saw introducing Johnny Depp and Robert Englund’s name on the screen. Seeing the film the big screen was just as scary as renting it when I was a kid. The collection of Freddy Kills was also great.

I just wanted to share our experience with fellow fans.”
