His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- He attacked various kids through their dreams with intent to kill them, with it being made clear that any harm he does to them in the dreams happens to them in real life.
- He slashed Bart with a rake, causing massive scratches across his belly, and attacked Lisa with hedge clippers, causing bits of her hair to fall off.
- When Martin fell asleep in class, he strangled him to death.
- Martin's body then traumatized the rest of the class and the kindergarteners.
- Willie's threat of killing kids in their sleep ended up prompting the Simpsons kids to avoid falling asleep before they realize they won't be able to stay awake forever, showing he managed to make the kids too scared to go to bed.
- When Bart fell asleep in an effort to confront Willie, he once again attempted to kill him by running him over as a drivable lawn mower.
- He attempted to suffocate Bart and Lisa by dragging them down into a sandbox.
- After his unexplained revival, he immediately confronted the Simpsons with intent on vengeance, only failing because his gun was still on the bus.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is not taken seriously at all with him being a parody of Freddy Krueger. He himself also has comedic moments, such as everyone literally ignoring him being set on fire which is only played comedically, his defeat of exploding as a spider, and him chasing the school bus to get his gun back.
- He is genuinely tragic, he once was a normal person like his mainstream counterpart, but one day he got set on fire, but everyone ignored his pleas of help, motivating his downfall to villainy.
Trivia[]
- In typical "Treehouse of Horror" fashion of parodying pop culture, the "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace" segment parodies the Nightmare on Elm Street, with Groundskeeper Willie filling a similar role to that of Freddy Krueger, who is Pure Evil.
