Fun Animated Video Highlights the 34-Year Evolution of Freddy Krueger
From creepy to comedic to… downright awful.
For better or worse, our favorite franchise villains evolved a whole lot over the years. Jason Voorhees went from a misshapen boy to a metallic space monster, while Michael Myers went from a normal-sized creep to a bearded hobo in a pro wrestler’s body.
Watching that evolution is always fascinating, and YouTube channel Tell It Animated recently began chronicling the progression of the genre’s most iconic villains with a series of fun animated videos that quickly run through all their different looks. The channel’s latest “Evolution of” video highlights the many iterations of Freddy Krueger!
The videos, written/designed/animated by Aaron Lecours, also serve as quick and to-the-point rundowns of franchise storylines, brushing you up in mere minutes.
Enjoy. And let the channel know which icon you want to see next!

‘Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition’ Announced for Switch 2, Launches Digitally on June 23 [Trailer]
Nintendo Switch 2 owners will be getting their own version of Devil May Cry 5 later this month when Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition launches digitally on June 23. A physical edition of the game will follow on August 28. Players who grab the pre-order or buy the digital version of Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition by July 7 will be eligible for a discount.
First launching on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam way back in 2019, Devil May Cry 5 has become (so far) the best-selling entry in the series. The game will arrive on the Switch 2 in the feature-packed Devil Hunter Edition, with pre-orders available now. The game is essentially the equivalent of Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, and comes packed with Vergil as a playable character, in addition to bonus content including costume colours, taunts, and battle tracks. Devil Hunter Edition sports a smooth 60 frames-per-second across both TV and handheld modes.
The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.
