A Nightmare on Elm Street 4

Corrected entry: After Freddy snaps Debby's arms, right before the shot cuts to the truck driving down the road, Debby's neck is way too long and not in proportion to her body.

Correction: This is a dream sequence. Things are allowed to happen in the dreams that are not allowed to happen in real life.

Corrected entry: Check out the headstones around Kristen's headstone after her funeral. The names are all Freddy victims from previous movies.

Correction: The graveyard seems like a logical place to bury the victims, don't you think? Not really trivia.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the souls are coming out of Freddy's chest, in the first close-up on the bottom left of the screen you can see a man's hand holding a black stick to manoeuvre the little arms. It's real fast but noticeable on standard play. (01:20:45)

Trivia: The diner that Alice works at is called the "Crave Inn", probably a nod to Freddy creator Wes Craven.

Question: Why does Freddy use Alice to gain access to new victims?

Answer: As Kristin was being burned to death in the boiler, she passed her ability to pull other people into her dreams to Alice. This enabled Freddy to get new victims.

Answer: He'd killed her friends in the previous movie, remember? When he came back she'd had time to recover and make new friends.

That was Kristen, not Alice. Alice gives the answer to this question herself, while talking to Dan in the diner. She says that Kristen was the last of the children of the people who killed Freddy, and "maybe Freddy can't get to the new kids unless there's someone to bring them to him."
