Fan Casting Charles Krueger (Freddy's grandfather in flashbacks) in The Children of Elm Street

A church missionary and a pharmacist far from any trace of violence, the nasty Charles Krueger adopted Freddy after his mother's suicide at the psychiatric hospital where she was a nun. Charles taught Freddy much of his talent for cruelty. Violent, with severe paraphilias and a tendency to alcoholism, Charles presented himself to Springwood society as a good Christian Samaritan, but the truth is that he was always the reason Amanda chose to be a nun ... to run away from him.
