Roland Kincaid (1969-1988?) is a fictional character from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series of films.

His strength comes in very useful when his friends are attacked by Freddy.

[edit] Dream Warriors

Roland Kincaid is committed at Westin Hills Psychiatric Home along with the other Elm Street children, who have been having nightmares about Freddy Krueger, the murderous dream stalker. Kincaid is afraid of being sedated, but he is often kept on his own if he loses his temper and causes a fuss.

Although he shares a room with Philip Anderson, he tries to stay awake by singing a song when he is sedated. After Kristen and her friends enter the dream world, they form an alliance called the Dream Warriors, as they attempt to put an end to Freddy's killings.

In the dream, each friend has a unique ability. Roland becomes strong and can bend objects such as chairs. Along with his friends, he is able to defeat Freddy and move on with his life. Or so it seemed...

[edit] The Dream Master

In the sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Freddy returns to kill the remaining Elm Street children. While she is having a bad dream, Kristen Parker brings Joey Crusel, Roland Kincaid and Kincaid's dog into the dream world, which upsets Kincaid because there is no apparent threat. It is clear that Kincaid wants to forget about Freddy and go on living like any other teenager.

While he is asleep one night, Kincaid and his dog awake inside a broken car in the same scrapyard that Neil Gordon vanquished Freddy's skeleton towards the end of the the previous movie.

Kincaid's dog pees on the ground next to where Freddy was buried. Freddy is resurrected to continue his killing spree in the dream world. Before his death, Kincaid attempts to battle Freddy, but Freddy is way too powerful.

Kincaid alerts Kristen that Freddy has returned, but because he is dreaming, Kristen does not know Kincaid is in danger. Since Kincaid is trapped with nowhere to run, he is killed by Freddy when he stabs him through the abdomen. Even to the end he showed courage against Freddy, on account of his last words being "I'll see you in hell..." (although Freddy merely responded with "Tell 'em Freddy sent ya.").
