Long time Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em> fan and tattoo artist Ant O\u2019Donnell<\/strong> crafted and submitted photos of his Elm Street<\/em>-inspired character displays he fashioned for his collection of NECA horror figures. Featured on other horror websites like Bloody-Disgusting<\/a> and receiving attention from NECA<\/a> has been a perk for this self-identified horror fan since childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am definitely a horror fan and find Freddy to be the most interesting and intelligently created character in film,\u201d stated O\u2019Donnell as to why his displays have an Elm Street<\/em> bent. \u201cI think the whole concept from the legendary Wes Craven was a genuine act of utter genius.\u201d Materials to create these intricate displays range but are relatively inexpensive given their craftmanship. \u201cI will say that [the materials are] nothing you can\u2019t pick up on Amazon, eBay or Home Depot,\u201d explained O\u2019Donnell. \u201cThese builds end up costing around \u00a350 and take two to three months to complete. In all honesty, the more expensive elements are the actual figures themselves!\u201d<\/p>\n

The first featured display is a fa\u00e7ade featuring the deteriorated and \u201chaunted\u201d iteration of 1428 Elm Street, along with Freddy Krueger\u2019s killer glove adorning the piece from above. Turning it around gives way to specialized rooms showcasing our favorite horror villains at work including the Cenobites, Freddy, Jason Voorhees, and Leatherface, while Chucky and Ghostface stalk its halls!<\/p>\n

The second display is an upscaled coffee table detailed in a theme of Freddy\u2019s boiler room, presenting a variety of scenes in red LED lighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am split as to my favorite figures,\u201d elaborated O\u2019Donnell. \u201cIf I have to pick a Freddy, I would have to say NECA\u2019s Ultimate A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy\u2019s Revenge<\/em> figure. Each of the head sculpts make him look angry and more scary than those where he\u2019s smiling. I do like the humor element of Freddy\u2019s character\u2014that\u2019s a huge part of why he\u2019s the main man\u2014but I preferred how he pulled humor off up to Dream Warriors<\/em>, as he was still scary rather than the Bugs Bunny-type in Freddy\u2019s Dead<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

With these creations under his belt, O\u2019Donnell has more on the way. \u201cI definitely have plans including a silicone Freddy Krueger mask, a mashup between the Cenobites and one of my Freddy figures holding the Lament Configuration puzzle box from the Hellraiser<\/em> films, a mashup of the cabin from Evil Dead<\/em> with a Jason Voorhees element, and quite possibly another Freddy,\u201d O\u2019Donnell confirmed. \u201cI also have always wanted to build a scene of the Taryn vs. Freddy fight from Dream Warriors<\/em> and think that one would look cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
