~ The Entity to Dylan Porter as he kills his babysitter infront of him |
The Entity is the main antagonist of Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the seventh installment of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.
In a separate continuity where the previous films are fictional, he is an ancient demonic entity who takes on the form of the worst creations of humanity's imagination. He returns in the twentieth century in the form of Freddy Krueger.
Like the character he takes the form of, he is portrayed by Robert Englund, who also portrayed the Phantom of the Opera in the 1989 film.
What Makes Him Pure Evil[]
In General[]
- Since Freddy is a fictional character with the film’s world, The Entity meets the heinous standards of his story.
- While one may assume that he fails the baseline due to only killing four people throughout the movie, in truth, he really doesn’t as it’s stated that he had been doing this for thousands of years. Evidence of this being the paintings Robert Englund painted which showed him ripping innocent people to shreds and tapestries of him pulling people apart during the climax.
- Displays no evidence that he's made of evil.
Wes Craven’s New Nightmare[]
- Possessed the glove prosthetic and used it to gruesomely slaughter two technicians, Charles "Chuck" Wilson and Terrance "Terry" Feinstein, the former by lugging the claws in his neck and the latter by digging in to his chest.
- Cut Chase Porter’s fingers.
- Carved holes on one of the walls in Heather’s house in order to remind her of his presence.
- Harassed Heather on the phone for weeks.
- Slashed Dylan’s beloved plushie Rex.
- Diced Chase vertically in his car while he was driving home, further traumatizing Heather and Dylan and causing the latter to briefly attempt suicide by jumping off a tall structure at a playground in order to “reach God” and reunite with his father.
- Tormented Robert Englund in his dreams and forced him to paint imagery of him tearing into small crowds of innocents.
- Trapped Robert as a hapless fly in a spiderweb in another nightmare and appeared as a spider, causing him to flee town while also preventing him from being able to help Heather and Dylan.
- Left several pages in her mail box, which when put together spelled “Answer the phone”. When Heather did this, he sticked his tongue out through it while telling her that he had touched Dylan. Upon seeing this, Dylan starts convulsing on the floor, forcing Heather to bring him to a hospital.
- Attacked Heather at her own home.
- While at the hospital, he warmed her in a dream that he was getting closer to Dylan.
- Forced Dylan to watch as he impaled his babysitter Julie and began dragging her up the ceiling before breaking her neck in front of Dylan while he was helpless to do anything.
- Pulled Dylan up and down at a highway, nearly getting him run over in the process.
- Destroyed Rex by slashing him apart.
