I also found myself alone with Freddie Krueger in his off at the Midway theater one afternoon in the early 80’s.Somehow the conversation worked its way around to his hernia. Before I realized what was happening he had his pants unzipped and grabbed my hand so I could feel his lump through his white briefs. I remember pulling away, cursing at him and wanting to punch him in the face . However, I couldn’t do it even as he dared me to do something.

He never attempted something like this with me again but the inappropriate comments and questions never did stop. He would ask how often I got laid/jerked off, what positions I liked and if I could have more than one orgasm at a time.

Other co-workers repeated similar comments being made toward them. I never heard first hand of anyone being physically abused. Older employees, especially projectionists used to tell Freddie Krueger stories and jokes regularly.

How did UA not know of his behavior?

His wife worked as his secretary for a while, until she had their son. How did she not know? Or hear the rumors?

As Division Manager his territory covered the 5 boroughs and maybe 15 to 20 theaters. He had access to many young teenage males. It must have seemed like one big playground to him.

No one ever drew the courage to punch him out like I wish I had?

Shame on you Freddie.
