It Turns Out Freddy Krueger's Worst Enemy Never Made It to the Big Screen
The most formidable adversary Freddy Krueger faced never made it to the big screen. To me, this simple fact says a lot considering everyone who Freddy has had to fight off. Some like to give the honor of "best Freddy enemy" to his first opponent, Nancy, but he killed her in Dream Warriors. I'm tempted to say Jason Voorhees, but Freddy's not even Jason's best rival.
In my eyes, the toughest foe that Freddy Krueger ever had to fight wasn't on the big screen, but in the comics - specifically Freddy Krueger's A Nightmare on Elm Street by Steve Gerber, Rich Buckler, Tony DeZuniga, Alfredo Alcala, and Janice Chiang. Surprisingly, this two-part series was released under the Marvel banner. Alas, Freddy doesn't fight the Avengers, but he fights a far more lethal threat to his well-being: a Dream-Stalker.
The thrilling two-part series explains exactly what makes the Dream-Stalker concept so special in Nightmare lore.
