Rubie's Men's Hat (pack of 1)

Product Information

Wes Craven stated that part of the inspiration for Freddy's infamous bladed glove was from his cat, as he watched it claw the side of his couch one night. [25] Wizard magazine rated Freddy the 14th-greatest villain of all time; [13] the British television channel Sky2 listed him 8th, [14] and the American Film Institute ranked him 40th on its " AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains" list. [15] In 2010, Freddy was nominated for the award for Best Villain (formerly Most Vile Villain) at the Scream Awards. In an interview he said, "Part of it was an objective goal to make the character memorable, since it seems that every character that has been successful has had some kind of unique weapon, whether it be a chain saw or a machete, etc. I was also looking for a primal fear which is embedded in the subconscious of people of all cultures. One of those is the fear of teeth being broken, which I used in my first film. Another is the claw of an animal, like a saber-toothed tiger reaching with its tremendous hooks. I transposed this into a human hand. The original script had the blades being fishing knives." [26] The character returned to television in an episode of The Goldbergs titled "Mister Knifey-Hands" with Englund reprising his role in a cameo. [40] Freddy Krueger appears as an OASIS avatar in Ready Player One. [41] He is among the avatars seen on the PVP location Planet Doom where he is shot by Aech. [ citation needed]

For New Nightmare, Lou Carlucci, the effects coordinator, remodeled Freddy's glove for a more "organic look". He says, "I did the original glove on the first Nightmare and we deliberately made that rough and primitive looking, like something that would be constructed in somebody's home workshop. Since this is supposed to be a new look for Freddy, Craven and everybody involved decided that the glove should be different. This hand has more muscle and bone texture to it, the blades are shinier and in one case, are retractable. Everything about this glove has a much cleaner look to it, it's more a natural part of his hand than a glove." The new glove has five claws. [ citation needed]The fedora was Wes's idea. But he'd been talked into maybe trying some other hats. And they had this box of hats, and we're sitting on the floor—kind of uncomfortably, both of these grown men on this futon—and [they're] telling me to put on all of these different hats. I'm sitting there in makeup going, 'Guys, please, the fedora is right.' And they kept putting on like, paperboy hats, and baseball hats, and God, one looked like a pimp hat. It was like, 'What are you thinking, you guys?' I think I said something to Wes like, ‘Look, the fedora was your idea.' And I stood and showed my shadow on the wall with the [fedora] hat, and how strong that silhouette was. And then I took the hat off and showed the baldness, revealing the baldness, and how he could save that for the right time in the movie. And I kind of got my way. [24] Kane Hodder".
