What color is Freddy Krueger's sweater?

Freddy Krueger still causes fear mixed with a smile for many. In childhood, we were all afraid to watch this film, but we wanted to, despite the prohibitions of adults. Now many people, themselves already being adults, perceive this character somewhat differently. The fear is gone, but the positive mood remains. And his sweater is recognizable all over the world.

The author of the image of a maniac who killed children in their sleep was Wes Craven. There are several interesting points related to the history of the image.

1. The character got its name from the name of the guy with whom the creator of the image had constant conflicts at school, reaching the point of a fight.
2. The very appearance of Freddie was borrowed from another childhood story. Once, then very young Wes, was walking around the city. On the way, he met a homeless man who looked far from the best. The boy was very frightened, and this image remained in his memory for a long time. Already as an adult, he remembered this same homeless man, who served as a kind of prototype for a maniac killer.
3. At first, the screenwriter wanted to make Krueger silent. But in the end, they decided to rework the image, which only benefited the film. Black humor, the desire to constantly "scratch your tongue", argue, make fun of your victims - these are the characteristic features of Freddie.
4. The film was supposed to come out in 1981. At that time, the script was fully prepared for filming.But the lack of funding forced the filmmakers to postpone filming until 1984. It was then that the first series appeared on the screens.
5. No less memorable attribute of the protagonist, in addition to his knives on his hands, was a sweater. But he ended up on Freddie quite by accident due to a combination of circumstances. The authors specially selected the outfit in such a way that it looked insanely ridiculous, but at the same time scary. To do this, they chose a black cloak. But when the filming process began, it turned out that the costume was simply forgotten and it was not brought to the site. The director did not want to waste time, so they quickly began to look for a solution.
6. The full history of the emergence of a red sweater with a dark green stripe is not known for certain. The most popular version says that the director saw this sweater on one of the operators. The guy himself did not particularly like this sweater, but occasionally wore it. The reason for this was the fact that this sweater was knitted for him by a girl. So that she would not be offended, the guy periodically wore it at work.

It was such a wondrous combination of circumstances that made it possible to create one of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema. A lot of horror films were filmed, but few people do not know about a man in a red sweater and knives on his hand.

The model has its own characteristics, although for some people this sweater may seem the most ordinary, no different from other sweaters.

• A characteristic feature of Freddie's sweater is its color. The clothes are made in stripes of red and dark green, close to the marsh color.
• The sweater has a simple cut, long sleeves, round collar.
• All those who have ever watched a film about the lord of nightmares will immediately recognize his characteristic sweater among millions.

• The green stripes are a symbol of the sins that the main character has committed.
• The red stripes are the blood he shed while killing his victims.
• The peculiarity of the sweater is that it is very unpleasant for the perception of human eyes.

• Having a Freddie-style sweater at your disposal, it is not at all necessary to complement the image with makeup, a mitten with knives or a burnt face effect. And without these attributes, you will not be left without attention.
• To create the most effective image, we recommend applying a little make-up, or use a sweater with the effect of cuts, traces of blood. All in the best traditions of a horror movie. Moreover, many stores specializing in Halloween clothing sell specially torn models of sweaters decorated with traces of blood.
• An essential attribute of the film's killer protagonist, which goes perfectly with this terrifying sweater, is a black hat. Two elements, and your image will inspire horror.
