Trivia
According to Alice Cooper in Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010), he stated that he gets asked to be in films all the time but they always want him in make-up as his onstage persona. He agreed to be in this film not only because he was a fan of the series, but also if he could play his character as Freddy's father as himself without his usual Alice Cooper look.

Goofs
(at around 28 mins) When John Doe and Maggie go to the school, Maggie finds a scrap book filled with articles related to Fred Krueger. In a close up of the book, an article is titled "Krueger Sought: Boy, 7, Missing" but the text that follows discusses baseball (Yankees, Kansas City, and the Mets) on the left side and military action in Vietnam on the right side.

Quotes
Oprah Noodlemantra: All right. Once again. This is your brain.
[Cracks egg]
Oprah Noodlemantra: This is your brain on drugs. Questions?
[Freddy hits him with the frying pan]
Freddy Krueger: Yeah! What are you on? Looks like a frying pan and some eggs to me.

Crazy credits
The end credits feature clips from all six Nightmare films and the last scene gives Freddy's birth and death date.

7/10

They tried burning, they tried burrying, they even tried holy water but now they wanna try dynamite n stabbing.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs which I used to own. Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own. This film takes place years after the events of the previous one. After killing every child and teenager in the town, Freddy confronts the last survivor from Elm street in dreams but spares his life. The boy is taken to a youth shelter by a cop where the boy meets other teens n becomes a patient of a psychiatrist. This one shows Freddy's life story n for the first time we have a good opening sequence. Here the setting is good initially of that of a desolated town without any kids n the van trapped in the time loop. But then the whole shelter home stuff gets silly. Freddy's humor is back too. The scene where he dances behind the kid with the ear prob is darkly funny. But the tormenting of the kid by Freddy is too much. We have a young Breckin Meyer n Johnny Depp in a cameo appearance.
