How Freddy Krueger Became A Joke In 10 Easy Quotes

8. €œNice hearing from you, Carlos.€ €“ Part 6 (1991)

Stumbling through the dingy labyrinth of the boiler room is Carlos. Unbeknownst to him, due to the fact that his abusive mother rendered him deaf years ago, Freddy is hot on his trail. Instead of flat out murdering Carlos, Freddy chooses to mock him from afar, which once again moves Freddy€™s motivation from that of a killer to that of a prankster. After giving Carlos a hearing aid from hell that intensifies all the sounds around him to such a degree that causes his head to explode, Freddy catches a piece of his ear and jests €œNice hearing from you, Carlos.€ Ouch. Five sequels and this is what Freddy has become, or rather, what he has mutated into. The transformation is quite staggering, and on some level, it reflects the theme from the original film. To conquer your fear, you have to face it; if it becomes familiar, it loses its power over you. Nancy saw it all coming six movies ago in her final lines, €œI know you too well now Freddy€ I take back every bit of energy I gave you€ You€™re nothing, you€™re sh*t.€
