It’s the spookiest time of the year with ghouls and goblins about. One of horror’s biggest loudmouths was Freddy Krueger and there’s only one St. Louis Blues player that springs to mind who can match that.
The modern-day slasher film, often associated with the holiday Halloween, really came to prominence in the 1970’s with John Carpenter’s Halloween. Things took another step with Friday the 13th and then Wes Craven took it even further with Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
