While Wes Craven is considered the creator of Freddy Krueger, he did not direct all of the movies. He was involved in the first five films, both directing and producing. His involvement in the franchise continued with "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" (1994), which was more of a meta-narrative on the series.

It's important to note that the production companies, directors, and producers involved varied with each sequel, and some films were more successful than others.
