Biography

At 18, Amanda Krueger decided to become a nun. Her new name in Christ was "Sister Mary Helena." Her first assignment as a nun was to go to the tower (where the most insane were locked up) in Westin Hills. Only a few days away from Christmas, Amanda was accidentally locked in the tower when the guards were in a hurry to go home to their families. The inmates kept her hidden for several days, brutally raping and beating her hundreds of times. When she was finally found, she was barely alive, and pregnant.

In September, after a breech birth, Frederick Charles Krueger (aka Freddy Krueger) was born. Shortly after, the infant was given over to the state and adopted by an alcoholic abusive man: Mr. Underwood. A Breech birth (also known as breech presentation) refers to the position of the baby in the uterus such that it will be delivered buttocks first as opposed to the normal head first position. ...

Amanda Krueger followed the trial of her bastard son. Amanda Krueger died around the time that Freddy was released on his technicality. After hearing about what happened in the trial, she lost her mind and hung herself, but no body was ever found. The tower where Amanda Krueger hanged herself is sealed and that wing of the hospital is closed. Though her body remains in the sealed tower, a head stone is placed in the Springwood cemetery for 'Sister Mary Helena'. She would return twice, in spirit form, to help those that were fighting Freddy. Illegitimacy was a term in common use for the condition of being born of parents who were not validly married to one another; the legal term was bastardy. ...

The first time was in "Dream Warriors". Amanda appeared as an old nun going by her name Sister Mary Helena, trying to help doctor Neil Gordon save the last Elm Street children from Freddy. At the end Neil found her grave site and learned Freddy's mother had been helping them.

The second time was in "The Dream Child". Amanda had been brought back to give birth to Freddy again in the dream world, now that he was able to come back. Freddy did come back, but remained afraid of his moher's power and tried to stay away from her. Alice Johnson, the heroine of this film, needed to find Amanda's resting place, but didn't have enough time to do so, so she had a friend try and find Amanda. She did, and Amanda was freed just in time to help Alice defeat Freddy. Now back as a baby, Amanda absorbed Freddy back into her, but he tried escaping her. Eventually, he did, shown in the events of "Freddy's Dead".
