\"\"<\/a>If you\u2019ve ever seen the series \u201cFreddy\u2019s Nightmares\u201d (Trust me, don\u2019t, it\u2019s awful), then it\u2019s verified in various episodes that Freddy Krueger isn\u2019t the only dream demon out there. In fact he\u2019s one of many, and there are other types of demons that can haunt our dreams and our subconscious. In either case, I was thinking about the slew of horror movie monsters out there introduced since Krueger hit the movies in the eighties and wondered what other boogey men could perhaps be a part of Freddy\u2019s world, or from his lineage. Here are five monsters that I think could be related to Freddy Krueger.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tommy Ray Glatman \u2013 Dreamscape
\n<\/strong>\u201cDreamscape\u201d ironically came out almost around the same time as \u201cNightmare on Elm Street\u201d and featured a more dark fantasy take on the idea of dreams and dreamscapes. Ironically in the film there are two dream travelers with abilities to travel through the subconscious and the evil of the pair is named Tommy Ray. Not only does he get off on sadistically tormenting his victims in their dreams, but one of this main weapons are long claw like nails that he slashes his victims with. I think when Tommy finally died, he found a comfy home in the dream world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Horace Pinkerman \u2013 Shocker
\n<\/strong>Wes Craven\u2019s \u201cShocker\u201d is almost a technological remake of \u201cNightmare\u201d with almost the exact same plot structure. Horace Pinkerman is a psycho who makes a deal with the devil. After being electrocuted his soul leaves his body allowing him to travel through electronics and even people. As someone who has done the same thing before, who\u2019s to say Freddy didn\u2019t like the cut of his jib?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Pseudo-Freddy \u2013 Wes Craven\u2019s New Nightmare
\n<\/strong>The pseudo Freddy is a supernatural entity released after the end of the movie series and managed to alter Nancy\u2019s reality to force her to play the game it wanted. Not only does the pseudo-Freddy build his own underworld but he\u2019s strikingly identical to Freddy, only so much more ruthless and deadlier than we last saw him. He\u2019s right in the area of the first \u201cNightmare\u201d movie, so who\u2019s to say he wouldn\u2019t take to haunting nightmares?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Slenderman \u2013 Creepypasta
\n<\/strong>Slenderman loves children, he loves to kidnap them, he has his own realm that he dominates, he has a house he lurks in, he\u2019s formless, and he can invade the subconscious of those that have been visited by him. Though a lot of his powers and abilities are ambiguous, Slenderman seems like something out of Krueger\u2019s realm, something not as perverse, but very evil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bughuul \u2013 Sinister
\n<\/strong>Bughuul is a boogey man that loves children, visits people through the specters of the children that it\u2019s possessed, and even can visit people in their dreams here and there. Bughuul feels like a monster very much in the realm of Freddy Krueger who\u2019d be right at home in nightmares.<\/p>\n
