Actually, Wes Craven's original idea for Freddy was for him to be a child rapist and murderer but Robert Englund refuse to have anything to do with a character who raped children so he scrapped the idea and just made him a murderer. In the remake, they went ahead with Cravens original idea which is what has pissed a lot of people off. I myself prefer the original obviously but I don't think the movie is quite as bad as people make it out to be. I can appreciate the fact that Freddy was a serious entity rather than a comedian. and while the original Freddy's look is the most classic, the newer Freddy did look more like an actual burn victim.
