Quotes:

  • Donald: What's happening?
    Garcia: Well, if it were any more quiet, we could hear owls farting.
     
  • Children: One, two, Freddy's coming for you! / Three, four, better lock your door! / Five, six, grab your crucifix! / Seven, eight, better stay up late! / Nine, ten, never sleep again!
     
  • Doctor: Did Nancy have any severe childhood illnesses? Scarlet fever, high temperatures, concussions?
    Marge: No, nothing, Doctor.
    Nancy: Huh, he means have you ever dropped me on my head!
     
  • Doctor: Don't worry, you're not gonna turn into Bride of Frankenstein!
     
  • Freddy Kruger: I'm gonna kill you slow.
     

Trivia:

  • In the final scene, the top to the convertible came down faster and harder than expected. The expression from the actors is real.
