Trivia:
|
- 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.
- 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"
- The movie that on TV that Jennifer watches before she dies is Critters.
- 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.
