10 More Movie Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won
8. Freddy Krueger - A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
Though it's fair to say that Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) just loves to torment young folk through their dreams, his wider operating goal since the start of the series has been to kill off the children of the parents who banded together and killed him in revenge for murdering 20 local kids.
And in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Freddy finally follows through with his quest, killing the so-called "Last of the Elm Street children" - Kristen Parker (Tuesday Knight), who is burned to death mid-way through the movie.
Kristen herself even hammers the point home by telling Freddy moments before her demise, "I'm the last". While the series of course continued on for many more installments, by the franchise's mid-way point Freddy had effectively accomplished his main mission.
The rest of the souls he claims are just gravy, basically, and no matter how many times he's defeated in the subsequent movies, nobody can take away from him the fact that he killed all of the Elm Street children.
