Christina "Tina" Gray[1] (named Kristina "Kris" Fowles[2] in the 2010 reboot) is a fictional character in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

A high school student whose death is the catalyst for the events of the series, Gray is the false protagonist of the 1984 original film.

She also appears in the novels, Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), Freddy vs. Jason (2003), 2010 reboot, merchandise based on the films, and a claymation version of the character is shown in the documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010).

[3] Tina awakens from a terrifying nightmare in which a disfigured man wearing a blade-fixed glove attacks her in a boiler room.

Although Tina doesn't physically appear in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985), she is referenced when Jesse Walsh and Lisa Webber discovered Nancy Thompson's diary and began to read some of the pages.

[4] In the Bollywood slasher film Mahakaal, which is heavily inspired by A Nightmare on Elm Street, the character of Seema (Kunickaa Sadanand) is analogous to Tina Gray, with the same role and fate.

Kris is shown going to the Springwood Diner to meet with her ex-boyfriend, Dean Russell, who falls asleep at the table and is murdered in his dream by Freddy although in the real world it appears that he is cutting his own throat.

[7] In Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy: The Making of Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street,[8] Amanda Wyss noted the parallels between Tina and Marion Crane from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho stating: Parallels with Nancy and Tina have also been made for Kristen Parker acting as a false protagonist to Alice Johnson in the third sequel The Dream Master.

Robert Englund wrote a script called Freddy's Funhouse for a third film of the series (which ended up being A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors) in which the main protagonist would have been Tina's older sister, who was in college at the time of Tina's murder, and who returns to Elm Street to investigate the circumstances of her sister's death after suffering a series of disturbing nightmares about it.
