We may have only seen it for the briefest of scenes, but Freddy Krueger‘s classic car from the original A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most memorable cars from the horror genre. The 1968 Cadillac Convertible boasts Freddy’s trademark stripes on the top, putting the Springwood Slasher’s touch on an already awesome vehicle. Now, the time has come where fans will be able to display the car at home in the form of a diecast replica from Jada Toys, and better yet, a miniature Freddy Krueger action figure is also included!
In A Nightmare on Elm Street, Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) manages to defeat Freddy by no longer showing any fear for him, taking away his power. It seems that we’re gearing up for a happy ending until the film’s final moments when Heather hops into her boyfriend Glen’s (Johnny Depp) convertible along with their friends. Soon after, the top closes, revealing Freddy’s stripes and trapping the teenagers inside. Apparently, this is yet another nightmare Nancy has found herself in, but that car is undoubtedly pretty damn cool.
The Cadillac is 1/24 scale and a part of the company’s Hollywood Rides line. Some of the other franchises to be given their own diecast replica cars from Jada Toys include Deadpool, Knight Rider, Spider-Man, and The Fast and the Furious. We might be biased as big horror fans here at Horror Geek Life, but we would suggest Freddy’s Cadillac is the most badass of them all. Priced at $22.99, the replica car can now be pre-ordered with an expected shipping date for June or July. You can take a look at Freddy’s 1958 Cadillac in the photos below, courtesy of Jada Toys.
