Freddy Krueger

who played him best?

Can't replace Englund in my mind. His was the best so far.

Robert Englund. I've seen them all. There had to be a reason he played him every time.

Robert Englund is Da Man...er, homicidal spectral entity.
The thing is, the new Freddy is obviously a traumatized, restless spirit, because of how he died. Whereas I always had the impression that Englund's Freddy rather enjoyed being dead - he's free to do all sorts of evil things with his dream powers.
On top of that, the Hailee Krueger in life was just a garden variety child molester, while the old version was a child murderer, very much fitting into the role of the Bogeyman even when he was still alive.
