Biography

October 1918: Amanda Krueger is born in Westin Hills hospital in Springwood, Ohio.

At 18, Amanda Krueger decided to become a nun. Her new name in Christ was "Sister Mary Helena." Her first assignment as a nun was to go to the tower (where the most insane were locked up) in Westin Hills. Only a few days away from Christmas, Amanda was accidentally locked in the tower when the guards were in a hurry to go home to their families. The inmates kept her hidden for several days, brutally raping and beating her hundreds of times. When she was finally found, she was barely alive, and with child.

In September, after a breech birth, Frederick Charles Krueger (aka Freddy Krueger) was born. Amanda decides to raise him, and the convent allows her to stay as a nun. When Freddy reached the age of 10 he started to display eccentric and even sociopathic tendencies (playing alone and hurting small animals). At 11, Freddy became a ward of the state after slicing his mother's leg with a kitchen knife.

At the age of 17, Freddy is sent back to live with his mother so that she can try and help him. Freddy is already showing homicidal tendencies, including killing dogs and cats. Freddy is released from his mother's care after she is raped and beaten by him.

Amanda Krueger followed the trial of her bastard son. Amanda Krueger died around the time that Freddy was released on his technicality. After hearing about what happened in the trial, she lost her mind and hung herself, but no body was ever found. The tower where Amanda Krueger hanged herself is sealed and that wing of the hospital is closed. Though her body remains in the sealed tower, a head stone is placed in the Springwood cemetery for 'Sister Mary Helena'. She would return twice, in spirit form, to help those that were fighting Freddy.
