A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET : TIMELINE

Circa 1940:

Practicing nun Sister Mary Helena (Amanda Krueger) is accidentally locked in the tower for the criminally insane at Our Lady of Sorrows mental institution. She is raped for days by the one hundred patients confined there.

Amanda is found afterward, barley alive and now pregnant. After the incident in the tower, that wing of the hospital is closed and Our Lady of Sorrows changes its name to Westin Hills psychiatric hospital. Frederick Charles Krueger is born months later after a breech birth and given up for adoption.

[Reference: Freddy's birth date has not been officially released. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child both reference it to be sometime in the 1940s. Due to what we're shown in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason, his birth date is most likely in the early 40s.]
