Freddy Kruger was a child murderer who had gotten off on a technicality ("somebody forgot to sign a search warrant in the right place" as Nancy's mom says in the original Nightmare on Elm Street). So a mob of angry parents burned him alive in his boiler room hideout, out of revenge, and (ironically) also to keep him from killing any more kids.
