Springwood power plant boiler room

 is one of the more pivotal locations featured in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. This was the lair of serial killer Freddy Krueger and has appeared in several films in the series.

History
While he was still a living human, Freddy Krueger used to work in the boiler room. As a place that afforded him great privacy, he would bring his victims to the boiler room where he would slaughter them with signature weapon - a custom-made leather glove with four straight razors sewn into the fingers. Krueger was arreste for his crimes, but due to a clerical error, he was let out on a technicality. The citizens of Springwood were outraged over what they felt was a miscarriage of justice, so they tracked Krueger down and trapped him inside the boiler room. They set the entire place on fire and watched it burn to the ground with Freddy still trapped inside. Although Freddy Krueger died that day, his sould would live on as a vengeful dream demon.
