A Real Life Freddy

There’s lots of little horror legends in all of our little towns. My friends have this big desire to prove that there really is a ghost hitcher on the haunted highway. Another story I always here (and I have tried to find proof) is that there used to be a guy named Freddy who would hide out in the woods near this little abandoned cemetary. Supposedly he would kidnap girls and rip them to shreds, slice and dice his victims in the woods, so therefore he got the trademark comparison of Freddy Krueger. Apparently the cops finally caught up to him and shot him a dozen times in those same woods yet they never found his body. He had to have died but noone has ever found him. So like jackasses kids are, teenagers like to drive by this little area late at night. It’s on a long, long, curvy desolate road with no houses and no lights. All you have is your headlights and you can’t drive fast. The roads are too curvy and it’s a one way. Sometimes people trying to take a short cut will go through and there could easily be an accident. So what’s even worse is when these stories are true…

True Story: Meet Jason Moore, 37, and now in jail. Jason had been a long time Freddy Krueger Freak Fanatic. He even went as far to create four replicas of the infamous glove. Can you imagine this guy in his basement making a glove out of knives? Creeeepy. Anyhow, Jason one night, invites his friend John Skamarski to sleep over. What he does next is attack his friend by slashing him on his neck, face, and hands with the glove and a 10 inch bread knife. That is some scary shit. John survived, called the cops, and now Moore is claiming he doesn’t even remember the attack.

“A lot of skill has gone into creating that glove. I have seen some horrific weapons in my life and that is probably the most horrific I have seen.”
