Murderers of Horror: Freddy Krueger vs Candyman

[storyteller]

Battle of the bladed hands and other worldly powers. Both work with avatars which has some similarities to possession in the early iterations. Candyman seems like he HAS to operate in the real world via his avatar (he comes through them not to them if that makes sense); Freddy NEEDS his victim asleep to physically harm them in the real world. I think the biggest gap though is that Freddy kinda got dragged into reality and was beatable once he got there. Candyman never slipped up like that early on.

I find it kinda funny that their always framing someone else too since both rely on being believed in as a source of power. The stalemate is that Candyman ain't sleeping and Freddy would be a fool to call Candyman out and empower him. But on neutral ground we've seen Freddy can be beaten, Candyman was ever only an ephemeral presence on the real side of things. So edge to Candyman...

I also like to picture Candyman attaching to different avatars and doing his dirty work through them. He'd have Helen dragging Freddy back to reality right in time for the bonfire.

Voted Candyman. I don't see how Freddy would drag another vengeful spirit to his turf. Candyman bodies him in the mortal plane. Flawless victory.

Candyman is an exo phantom meaning he is bound to to same rules as his victims once he is summon. So he could get killed simply by someone calling his name and the person can have a machine gun or shot gun ready for him and they can just shred him apart. But the thing is Candyman creeps up on his victims so it is hard to do. Also if we are going to add what the up and coming sequel adds to the story with the hive situation Candyman can also summon multiple beings as a way to defeat Freddie. Freddie feeds off of fear and Candyman feeds off just of being believed in. Candyman also since is a Phantom does not have a conscious so Freddie could not even get inside his head. Candyman wins this battle.

I gotta go with Freddy on the strength dude is a dream monster. There are ways to avoid Candyman. Don't say his name three times in a mirror and you're good. But there's no way to avoid Freddy. How can you not go to sleep? There's not enough caffeine or no doz in the world for that.

If, and only if, Freddy can make Candyman take a nap/sleep, Freddy wins.

In reality, Candyman, no question.

Now, in a neutral world where they are at their peaks, Freddy. This is why:

Freddy was dogshyt when he was alive. He was evil before anything and had his method of kidnap, torture and murder. In death, evil brought him back and gave him greater powers.

Candyman was an educated lover/artist. Death made him evil and he only goes for those who mock him. Take away the hook and bees and you take away his best abilities to kill.
