Kristin Parker (1969-1988?) is a fictional character from the A Nightmare on Elm Street films. She was portrayed by Patricia Arquette in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and by the singer-actress Tuesday Knight in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Knight plays herself in 1994's Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Kristen has the ablitity to pull people into her dreams by calling out their names. She survived in the third movie, however, Freddy came back. Kristen was the first to notice, but no one believed her. Freddy kills the other survivors from the third movie, and then killed Kristen when her mother snuck sleeping pills into her drink (She refused to go to sleep). She non-intentionally calls out to her friend Alice, and Freddy throws Kristen into a furnace and dies, but not before she passes her power on to Alice.
[edit] Notes
- Patricia Arquette did not reprise the role of Kristen Parker in Nightmare 4 because,according to Rachel Talalay (Nightmare 4 Producer), Patricia was not approached by New Line to reprise the role. [1]

Kristen Parker is "Elm Street's last brat." The reason that Freddy did not want to kill her was because without her he would have no more victims since she was the last of the original Elm Street children. He needed to use her to call on one of her friends which he finally succeeded in doing during one of the pivotal scenes in "[[A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.]" Once her "job" was completed in the eyes of Freddy, he had no trouble finishing her off.
