Weston Hills Asylum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, the Weston Hills Asylum is where it all began. When Amanda Krueger (Freddy Krueger's mother) was accidentally locked up by two of the guards in one of the rooms of the asylum, she was raped numerous times by the mental patients that were kept there. Days later, she was found barely alive, and brought to a hospital. She was impregnated by the hundred patients and gave birth to one child, Freddy Krueger. Shortly after his birth, Freddy was put up for adoption and taken in by an abusive alcoholic (who was also partially responsible for the influenced evil of Freddy).

After Freddy was burned to death by the parents of Springwood for killing their kids, Amanda Krueger hanged herself.

Amanda Krueger was often found in the Asylum in many people's dreams, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (which was also where Amanda Krueger was first introduced), and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child.

In Freddy vs. Jason, Mark Davis and Will Rollins, two teenagers of Springwood who knew about the existence of Freddy Krueger, were placed in the Asylum and required to take Hypnocil, a drug that supresses dreams, which kept them safe from Freddy Krueger, until they escaped, and stopped taking the drug (which also led to Mark Davis' death).
