Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What is the name of the American horror character known for wearing a sweater similar to the one shown? "
...
As any horror fan knows, Freddy Krueger is almost always seen wearing a red and green striped sweater in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" ("NES") film franchise (1984-2010). It’s an outfit that has been rarely altered since its first appearance, most notably the addition of stripes to the sleeves after the original film featured plain red sleeves for the arms. Nevertheless, the style has remained the same – and as stated, there’s an interesting reason for why that is.
That reason was because of Wes Earl Craven (August 2, 1939 – August 30, 2015). He was an American film director, specifically concerning writing and directing the first "NES" film, co-writing and producing the third, chose the red and green stripes for Freddy Krueger’s sweater because of a magazine article in Scientific American. The article explained that a red and green pairing is actually more difficult for humans to perceive properly. As such, whenever he’s wearing his sweater, it’s actually creating a subconscious discomfort for the movie viewer.
Additionally based on the darkened green that seems almost eerily black in some shots and a brighter green in others, it’s created a unique look for the character that has remained relevant for decades now. It just goes to show how much of a mastermind Wes Craven was when designing Freddy Krueger, one of the horror genre’s most iconic villains.
