When Kris was 5 years old, she attended Badhalm Preschool with her classmates Nancy Holbrook , Quentin Smith, Jesse Braun, Dean Russell, Marcus Yeon and several other children. All of them lived very happy lives and got along with the school gardener Freddy Krueger. One day however Krueger took Kris to his secret "magic cave" where he physically and sexually abused her along with all the other children. The kids finally told their parents what happened to them and in time, all of the children forgot about Krueger, what he did to them, the preschool and each other.
One night years later, Kris came to the Springwood Diner to talk with her boyfriend Dean about him not getting enough sleep. When she got up to leave, she saw Dean cutting his throat and screamed in terror. Although it was actually Freddy Krueger who killed him, Kris had no idea what exactly happened to him.
At Dean's funeral, Kris saw a photograph of her and Dean as children, but could not recall ever knowing him before high school. Kris soon began to dream about the burned man herself and refused to go to sleep for fear that she would die in her dreams.But later Jesse Braun, Kris's ex-boyfriend climbed through Kris's bedroom window to tell her that he is having the same dreams as her. Kris asked him to stay with her for the night and they both fell asleep in Kris's bed.
