The name is a reference to the horror movie character Freddy Krueger due to the lobster's Halloween-like calico coloration.
The owners aren't sure if they will sell the lobster or donate it to the University of New England.
Calico lobsters are very rare, occurring about once in every 30 million lobsters.
