A Diabolic Monster from the Celestial Codex.

Historical Data

While there are several types of demons notorious for entering the dreams of sleeping mortals (see Nightmare, q.v.), the Dreamstalker is almost certainly inspired by the modern horror character Freddy Krueger, from director/writer Wes Craven’s 1980’s movie series, The Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy is an undead serial child killer who haunts the dreams of the young men and women of Elm Street. Using his famous clawed gloves and a wide assortment of psychotic techniques, Freddy kills and maims his way through an entire generation of Elm Street teenagers before finally being put to rest by his own errant daughter, Kathryn. In his final death we learn that his powers are indeed infernally-spawned by “dream demons.”
