Quotes:

  • Freddy Kruger: I said, where's the f**king bourbon?
     
  • Kristen Parker: One, two, freddy's coming for you. Three, Four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never... never...
    Nancy Thompson: Never sleep again. Where did you learn that rhyme?
     
  • [While fighting with Dr. Simms]
    Kristen Parker: You stupid bitch, you're killing us-YOU'RE KILLING US!
     
  • Freddy Kruger: Welcome to prime time, bitch!
     
  • Kristen Parker: The man in my dreams... he's real, isn't he?
    Nancy Thompson: He's real!
     

Trivia:

  • The movie that on TV that Jennifer watches before she dies is Critters.
     
  • Freddy Krueger's famous line, "Welcome to prime time, bitch" was actually an improvised line by Robert Englund. The original line was, "You're on TV now, girl"
     
  • When the clay puppet face turns into Freddy's, special-effects man Doug Beswick used stop-motion animation. Filming began with a clay Freddy face that was made plainer in each frame. The result was then run backwards, and that is what appears in the final cut of the film.
     
  • The scene in which Neil Gordon (Craig Wasson) is thrown into the grave and partially buried by the skeleton of Freddy is a tribute to Body Double, in which Wasson's character is similarly buried alive.
     

Credits Fun:

  • The Grips from Hell
     
  • Quote before the opening credits start reads:

    "Sleep. Those little slices of Death. How I loathe them"
    -Edgar Allan Poe-
