How Freddy Krueger Became A Joke In 10 Easy Quotes
4. Whats wrong Joey, feeling tongue tied? Part 3 (1987)
Here we have Joey, a horny teenage boy who doesnt talk. Freddy invades his dreams and seduces him by first appearing as a voluptuous nurse. Just as everything seems to be going swimmingly, Freddy uses his tongue to tie Joey to the bed. The mattress underneath gives way to a fiery pit of flaming fire, leaving Freddys newest victim roasting above the flames. Mr. Krueger delivers a quip referencing not only Joeys inability to call for help, but also the literal tongues that are holding him in place. Hes literally tongue-tied. Now, let's step back for a moment before this departure becomes so grand, we cant remember where we came from. We began with This is God and an innocent girl getting brutally ripped open by an invisible intruder. We have arrived at Feeling tongue tied? and a boy is tied to the bed with tongues. Things have clearly gone off on a tangent. Now that Freddy is fun, that is to say, now that a child murderer who was burnt alive and continues to perversely massacre teenagers is fun and enjoyable for the whole family, he can become a hit Halloween costume for all the kiddies! The same kiddies that this character was originally trying to murder, yay! So, we ask why? Why would such a frightening, depraved, repugnant character be made into a clown and so embraced by society? For that answer, we must dig further.
