Ashley J "Ash" Williams is one of action/horror's most iconic protagonists. Armed with his "boomstick" (A 12-gauge, double-barreled Remington-S-Mart's top of the line. Found in the sporting goods department, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retailing for about $199.95, it's got a walnut stock, colbalt blue steel and a hair trigger.), chainsaw (sometimes mounted in place of his right hand), and sometimes a Winchester Model 1894 rifle, Ash is able to kill deadites just as fast as he is able to spout tough guy one-liners ("Yo she-bitch, let's dance"). He is delightfully dimwitted, and is probably totally incapable of doing anything competent other than fighting deadites. He also can be somewhat cowardly when faced with a new challenge, and be downright arrogant amongst strangers. But when push comes to shove, his resolve overcomes any fear or selfishness he has.
Frederick Charles Krueger is the product of the violent rape of the nun Amanda Krueger by one hundred maniacs (a.k.a. "The bastard son of a hundred maniacs). Called Freddy, he was constantly ridiculed for his infamous and brutal conception. It was then he started murdering small animals, and as he grew into adulthood, he turned his masochistic behavior on himself. After suffering abuse from his stepfather for many years, he brutally murdered him with a razor. It was after child services took his daughter away that Krueger became a child killer earning the name "The Springwood Slasher". After he was captured for his string of grizzly murders, he was unexpectedly freed on a technicality. The enraged parents of Springwood, OH then took the law into their own hands. They followed Krueger to a building where he took his victims and ignited it with gasoline into a raging inferno. However, no one expected the end result of this act.
Freddy's soul was so corrupt that it was decided he could be of use to dream demons imprisoned in hell. When he was promised eternal life in the world of dreams, Freddy could hardly refuse. Ever since that night, Krueger has taken his revenge on the parents of Springwood by stalking their children through their dreams. Each time he is able to twist what would seem to be a normal dream into his own brutal imagination's delight of terror. Some children have escaped thinking they have defeated him, only to have him rise again sometime later.
