I don't think they are related, Wes is from Missouri, and Adam is from Canada. They do look a lot alike, and they both play guitar and have similar interests, but I don't think they are related
The Freddy Krueger character is not based on any real-life serial killer, no. Wes Craven got the idea for the character from a homeless man who scared him really badly when he was a kid. The man wore a similar sweater and hat as Freddy. Craven was hanging out in his room, when he noticed that this vagrant on the street below was standing there, staring in the window at him. The man stood there staring at him for a really long time, which would be creepy for anyone, much less a small child.
