Main Characters

    Lori 

Lori Campbell

"Welcome to my world, bitch!"

Played by: Monica Keena

  • Action Girl: Becomes one in the third act.
  • Attempted Rape: Downplayed. Freddy tries to kiss her while disguised as her father and lifts her skirt before he's dragged into the real world, both of which are clearly non-consensual and sexual harassment. It's possible he intended to rape her before killing her.
  • Badass Normal: Who else can say they cut Freddy Krueger's head off?
  • Calling the Old Man Out: While her suspicions about her mother's death were proven wrong, she still rightfully calls out her father covering it up and sending her boyfriend to an asylum.
  • Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Lori is the first lead female for the Elm Street series since Nancy to live in the home Freddy once lived in. She has no connection to past heroines, nor does she have any special supernatural abilities or is related to Freddy, further contrasting those who have faced Freddy before.
  • Decoy Protagonist: In the sequel comic Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash, she and Will return to Crystal Lake to make sure Freddy and Jason are both dead, only to be killed by Jason.
  • Dude Magnet: Aside from her boyfriend, there's Blake, who she considers an idiot, Linderman, who she doesn't hate but doesn't reciprocate, and Freddy, who tries to kiss her..
  • Final Girl: Well, the only girl to not die, as her boyfriend survives with her. Also, the final Final Girl of the original continuity.
  • Go-Go Enslavement: Freddy puts her in a white nightgown with exposed cleavage and no undergarments judging by the shape in her final nightmare. This gives the encounter disturbing implications.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Has short blonde hair and the only people who she's not nice to are people who are genuinely bad.
  • Lust Object: While both Will and Linderman are genuinely in love with her, Blake is clearly far more interested in her for sexual reasons, while Freddy decided to force a kiss on her.
  • Revenge Before Reason: Even though Freddy is hellbent on killing her, Lori chooses to remain at Crystal Lake to see Jason kill him.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: The only person she has any desire for romance is her missing ex-boyfriend, Will.
  • Virgin in a White Dress: The second half of the movie has her in a white long-sleeved shirt and her last nightmare has her in a white nightgown, which highlights her Final Girl innocence and increases the horror when Freddy attacks.
  • You Killed My Father: Well, her mother to be exact. This is why she's so eager to get payback against Freddy.

    Will 

Will Rollins

Played by: Jason Ritter

  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Believes that Lori's father murdered her mother and is covering it up. In any other movie, he would actually be right. As this is a crossover of two supernatural slasher films, he's not even close.

    Kia 

Kia Waterson

Played by: Kelly Rowland

  • Death by Irony: She's killed by Jason after complimenting his machete.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: She knows damn well and good how taking shots at Freddy Krueger's reputation, claw glove, and penis size is going to end. She does it anyway.
  • Kiss of Life: Averted. She very nearly had to give Jason CPR as he was drowning in a nightmare. She obviously didn't want to essentially kiss a zombie.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: Calls Freddy a "faggot in a Christmas sweater." This line was actually ad-libbed by Kelly Rowland, much to the shock of Ronny Yu.
  • Sassy Black Woman: She's brave enough to mouth off to Freddy Krueger of all people.

    Linderman 

Charlie Linderman

Played by: Chris Marquette

  • Dies Wide Open: His eyes are still open as all the blood in his body drains out.
  • Hopeless Suitor: To Lori. It's clear he has a thing for her, but she still has her heart set on Will.
  • Last-Name Basis: Everyone calls him Linderman. The only time someone, this case Kia, calls him by his first name is in a deleted scene.

    Freeburg 

Bill Freeburg

Played by: Kyle Labine

  • Demonic Possession: Freddy possesses him to send Jason to sleep with tranquilizers.
  • Expy: Of Jay from The View Askewniverse, in appearance and attitude.
  • The Stoner: Even as they're dealing with two paranormal serial killers, and is in the presence of a police officer, he still takes time to do drugs.

    Gibb 

Gibb

Played by: Katharine Isabelle

    Blake 

Blake

Played by: David Kopp

    Trey 

Trey

Played by: Jesse Hutch

    Mark 

Mark Davis

Played by: Brendan Fletcher

  • Batman Gambit: Jumps and shrieks like a monkey at a security guard knowing it'll get him tranquilized in order to steal the guard's keys and security card.
  • Couldn't Find a Pen: When he refuses to pass along Freddy's message, Krueger just burns it out on Mark's body.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tells Lori and her friends about Freddy Krueger. At school, with lots of students listening. This gives Freddy enough power to finally come back. Though, to be fair, that would probably eventually happen anyway.

    Deputy Stubbs 

Deputy Scott Stubbs

Played by: Lochlyn Munro

  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Unlike the sheriff, he actively tries to help the teens deal with Freddy and Jason, and is quick to realize the first spate of murders aren't Freddy's Modus Operandi.
  • Token Good Cop: Arguably Deconstructed. He is the only member of the sheriff's department who puts much effort into finding the killer and prorecting innocent suspects, while his coworkers are fine with trying to cover up everything that happens. However, the other cops have the Well-Intentioned Extremist goal of crushing belief in undead serial killer Freddy Krueger so he can't return to life, and Stubbs's actions have Nice Job Breaking It, Hero results.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Assumes that the murders are being committed by a Jason copycat. To his credit, that had happened before in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning.

    Dr. Cambell 

Dr. Cambell

Played by: Tom Butler

  • Unscrupulous Hero: Had Will falsely committed to Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital and used the patients as Guinea Pigs to perfect the Hypnocil drug. But as the alternative was to allow Freddy to run free and kill his daughter and other kids it's not like he had much choice.
  • Papa Wolf: Deconstructed. Everything he did was to protect his daughter from Freddy but when the truth comes out of the extent he went to, it destroys Lorrie's faith in him and nearly leads to her death.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: He basically disappears from the plot after the halfway point and his fate is never revealed in the sequel comics.
