From chunky cable knit cardigans to pair with cream trousers to fluffy fabrics paired with black jeans for a versatile fit, we’ve got the styles you’re going to love. Since those two colors so often evoke images of Christmas, the sight of them in such a terrifying context is definitely unsettling. But director Wes Craven wasn’t trying to be subversive when he chose to clothe his villain in holiday hues—he was trying to make us uncomfortable in a much more subliminal way. The same phenomenon happens with yellow and blue, so we’d probably be just as unnerved if Freddy Krueger was dressed like the IKEA logo of our nightmares. Perhaps his dreamworld drawers are bursting with identical sweaters to ensure he has a clean one for each murder spree; or maybe he owns a single sweater, which he only throws on when there’s slashing on his schedule.Either way, if the classic killer shows up in your neighborhood, you can bet he’s decked out in red and green.
