What a Nightmare! The incredible life of a VERY unlucky parrot named 'Freddy Krueger' who was kidnapped from a zoo, bitten by a snake and had his face disfigured in a police shootout at a drugs den. Freddy Krueger: Piece by piece. Freddy Krueger was a concoction borne of many influences. Here’s a look at the ingredients that Craven mixed together to conjure an original horror monster: FREDDY’S NAME. A bully: A kid named Krueger used to beat Craven up when he was younger. (Childhood trauma is always a helpful muse.).

A seemingly invincible parrot named Freddy Krueger miraculously showed up near its cage, bloody and disfigured, after being stolen two days earlier.

Freddy, a turquoise-fronted Amazon parrot, was missing for two days after three armed men raided a Brazilian zoo, overpowered its security guard and made off with two parrots and a cylinder of gas, according to The Guardian. On April 14, zoo staffers found the disfigured bird on a tree next to his cage, the only clues to his escape the tiny drops of blood splattered near his home.

This is just the latest ordeal for a hardened parrot that has witnessed drug deals, police shootouts and snake bites.

Freddy's story starts four years ago, when he arrived at a zoo in the Brazilian town of Cascavel as a nameless bird bearing the scars of his troubled past life. Before he took up his domestic life of captivity, Freddy was a pet for a drug dealer in Brazil, according to The Guardian.

Freddy was severely injured in the shootout when police raided his owner's compound, taking a bullet to the beak which left him blind and disfigured, according to Brazil’s Folha de São Paulo newspaper. The police then brought him to the zoo, and they named him Freddy Krueger after his disfigured face reminded them of the villain of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' franchise.

After living in peace for four years, Freddy was bitten by a snake this month when the reptile broke into his enclosure. Thankfully, the snake wasn't venomous, but the attack left him bloodied and injured.

While recovering from his injuries, Freddy was stolen from the zoo before fighting his way back home days later.

“He’s a bit of a wild one,” said the zoo's vet, Ilair Dettoni.

Freddy is currently enjoying a well-deserved rest at the zoo while the gas cylinder and the second parrot remain at large.

.Robert Englund debuted as in the original back in 1984, a role he went on to reprise in multiple sequels, a TV series,. In his new TV series on the Travel Channel, the performer dives deep into a number of bizarre events throughout history that rival the horrifying events depicted in his films. The line between fact and fiction has been so blurred in pop culture that rumors previously circled the internet claiming that Englund's character was based on a real-life serial killer. Ahead of the debut of True Terror on the Travel Channel on March 18th, Englund discussed his on-screen persona permeating the world of urban legends.' Freddy’s an amalgamation of filmmaker Wes Craven’s experiences,' Englund recently shared with ComicBook.com. 'I think that there was a bully in his school named Fred Krueger.

And I think when Wes chose the name for his bogeyman, he liked a Germanic aspect. Frederick Krueger, very tectonic.

And I think that part of that is that Fred — that there’s always been a bit of — a dark side of the Grimm’s fairy tale to the fable of Freddy Krueger, the 'Nightmare on Elm Street.' He continued, 'The other part is that there was a point in time when Johnny Carson was doing Freddy Krueger jokes and Freddy Krueger was on the cover of MAD Magazine and Freddy Krueger was in the Sunday funnies, in some of the more bizarre strips. And he was the subject of just about hundreds of rap lyrics in the '90s and the early 2000s. Wes doesn’t own him anymore, and I don’t own him anymore, and New Line Cinema no longer owns him anymore.

He’s just part of the American vernacular. I think that’s where it gets confusing for some people, especially a younger generation comes along, and they see an old DVD lying around or they watch it on a Halloween marathon. And they think that maybe it was based on something true like Ted Bundy,.' Marked a major shift for the slasher world, as it focused on a killer who would wreak havoc in his victim's dreams and cause real-world injuries, as opposed to merely being a deadly individual.

Craven had previously admitted that the concept was inspired by reality, as he had read a story about a boy who had nightmares after escaping the Cambodian Killing Fields and would go days on end without sleeping out of fear of those nightmares. The boy ultimately died in his sleep, inspiring the idea of a dream having the power to kill someone. Englund noted that the concept of 'Elm Street' was meant to represent the universality of the concept.' The whole concept of Nightmare on Elm Street is very symbolic,' the actor pointed out. 'I think basically it’s loss of innocence in America. The one clue that nobody ever picks up on, Freddy has the line, 'Every town has an Elm Street.'

Well, every town also has a Broadway and a Main Street and an Oak Street. But, Elm Street’s also the street that JFK was assassinated on in Dallas. And that’s the beginning of our loss of innocence and our distrust of government and our group American paranoia. And Wes was turning that around and making that and, in particular, young women, because we always have a woman survivor, the survivor girl, as they say in Holly-weird. But, I think it’s an amalgamation of all of those things that (creates the) nightmare, the legend.'
