FREDDY KRUEGER!

The Dream Master himself will be fighting against MK mainstays like Liu Kang, Scorpion and Sub-Zero.  Modeled after the 2010 Jackie Earl Hayley version, Freddy now sports a bladed glove on each hand and his fatalities that include taking his opponent into hell and throwing them into Freddy's furnace.  Freddy will be available for download on August 9th.
