Millions have seen the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, but do we actually know Freddy Krueger's not real?

This point has left Jude Lennon questioning his sanity when he starts having nightmares after watching the movies. He's living his own version of them; being chased by a clawed hand, waking up with night sweats, and having his sheet rip into four pieces which twist themselves around him like silent assassins. But if Freddy Krueger is just a fictional character in fictional movies, why does he feel as though something more real, more alive, more evil, is out to cause more hell than anyone could imagine?

After a telepathic conversation with the man behind "Freddy", warning him that Freddy is indeed real, Jude sets out to find the truth once and for all, only to find out it's not the bed this particular demon resides in...

And remember...don't...fall...asleep...
