He is evil because all the parents on Elm Street burned him alive in his basement and so he made a deal with dream demons and now he kills the children of the parents who burned him.

Freddy's being evil comes from him being the child of all those psychopaths that raped his mother. He is called "the b*stard son of 100 maniacs" in Nightmare 3 where we learn of his conception. We also get a sense into how he became so evil in Freddy's Dead as he was picked on and tormented as a kid at school and at the hands of his abusive step father.

All that, combined with genetics and heredity, pretty much ensured he would be what he eventually became. This is Robert Englund's Freddy.

The Jackie Earl Haley version doesn't go into much reason this far. We just know he worked as a grounds worker at a preschool and he was more of a sexual predator there. He didn't kill anyone before he died that we know of. Maybe if they make a sequel, they will go into more detail about the new Freddy and his backstory.
