  3. ^ A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors & Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare: Freddy’s birth date has not been officially revealed, though it was referenced to be in the 1940’s. During flashbacks in Freddy’s Dead, Freddy looks to be in his mid to late 20’s, which would imply his birth date to be sometime in the early 40’s. Various movie tie-ins have listed his birth date in the late 1930’s, 1946, & 1947. Most fans estimate it to be 1942, due to Freddy would be too young given the physical evidence and a 1946/47 birth date.
