Mortal Kombat IX
I debated including this, since they used Jackie Earl Haley’s likeness instead of Englund’s but I figured why not? We got to play as Freddy Krueger in a Mortal Kombat game and perform fatalities with him. It was a lot of fun.
These are just the major mentions/cameos/references to Freddy Krueger over the past few decades. It is no secret that Krueger and Craven have been huge influences on pop culture over the years. No film character has ever had quite the same impact that Freddy Krueger has had. What are some references that we missed? Let us know in the comments below!
