Freddy Kruger's (Robert Englund) glove from Ronny Yu's action-horror film Freddy Vs. Jason. Freddy wore his glove throughout the film, from the moment he rebuilt it during the opening montage to the final fight with Jason (Ken Kirzinger).

The glove was originally designed and created by Jim Doyle, the mechanical special effects designer of Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street. When he asked Craven for guidance on the design, the director said, "It's kind of like real long fingernails. I want the glove to look like something that someone could make who has the skills of a boilermaker, because this guy worked in a boiler room." The design has stood the test of time, and remains one of horror cinema's most iconic weapons.

This glove is made of tan-coloured leather with soot and light stage-blood markings. The tips and palm of the glove have been cut off, and a blade assembly has been fitted, comprising tarnished copper finger caps with a single pivot point, riveted to a back plate that is fixed to the glove's rear. Made for use in the film's fight scenes, the claws are made of resin, painted to resemble steel, and secured to the tips of the fingers with glue and wire, which provides a strong hold, but allows for simple replacement in the event of breakages.

The glove shows production-applied distress, including scratches on the metal fingers and back plate, to give it a battle-worn appearance. Small dots have been drilled in the glove to create the illusion of weld splatter from its creation during the opening montage. It shows some unintentional wear, however, including repairs to the ring-finger claw, a replaced rivet in the little finger's claw mount and fraying to the stitching throughout. The glove comes on a custom-built display stand and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from New Line Cinema. Dimensions (glove): 36 cm x 18 cm x 5 cm (14" x 7" x 2"); (displayed) 30 cm x 18 cm x 47 cm (12" x 7" x 18 1/2")
