Unlike the original Freddy Krueger, who, over the course of the film series, developed a cheeky and dark humored personality and always cracked puns and jokes when he killed his victims, the remake version of Freddy seemed to be more in line with how Wes Craven had originally envisioned the character; a much more darker, serious, and violent killer. When stalking and pursuing his victims, he is focused, calculating and somewhat cold, though he nevertheless displays some traits of sadism.
