What happens to Freddy’s body when he dies in reality?


This is a subject they have yet to touch on in any of the movies. Since the project is based on this movie, I feel that this isn’t a clear-cut answer. Freddy’s head and body sink to the bottom of Crystal Lake, or so we are told to believe. To be clear, based on this one movie, I had to add more strange searches to my Google searches.


Science… I think.


Aa human head will sink and rise once the brain decomposes. Apparently, a headless body will also float unless it is weighted down. Don’t quote me on this, but it seems the movie got one thing right. The head would sink, but the body would float. I doubt the gloved hand through the chest would be enough weight to make the body sink. So, based on that, wouldn’t Freddy’s headless corpse be floating in Crystal Lake for someone to find.


Imagine stumbling along that, and when you identify the body, you find out that this person initially died in 1968 per A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3. First off, Freddy looks old and rough for only being 26 at the time of his death at the start of the film. In the same movie mentioned above, he was born in 1942. You would have no explanation as to how a well-preserved burnt headless body existed.


Why is this relevant? A theory.


The town covers up not only the deaths but also disposes of Freddy’s corpses’ when he dies in reality. That, to me, shows how corrupt the town really is. If you cover up the murders, that is one thing, but when sometimes he meets his match in reality, the body has to be present, simply because it’s present time. Burn his body again, blame the deaths on suicide, and Freddy is slowly forgotten.


What about prior deaths where his body vanished? Theory 2


Simply put, he was never taken out of the dream world. It was an illusion he put on to fool his victims. Give the victim a false sense of hope; that’s how Nancy died, that’s how her mom died, that’s how everyone died. Freddy fucked with them mentally to believe they had the upper hand when he always had the upper hand.


If he wasn’t pulled out of the dream world, there would be no bodies. FVJ is the first movie where he was successfully drawn out of the dream world and killed. Since Freddy cannot die due to fear, we get that smirk at the end of the film because Freddy didn’t die.


Theory 2 seems more plausible for Freddy, and yes, I am looking into this a bit too deeply, but these are the questions that need to be asked.


It’s the what-ifs that keep the project going.
