Trivia: When Nancy is drowning in the blood, the blood breaks through the floor to pour into the bedroom downstairs. This is a tribute to the original's famous bed-death scene where Johnny Depp is slaughtered by Freddy, causing the room to be drenched in his blood. (01:23:30)
Trivia: When Nancy is looking for information on the other kids in her class, she comes across a classmate who posts video blogs of his experiences with Freddy. This is Aaron Yoo, who played Chewie in Friday the 13th's remake.
Trivia: Star Rooney Mara reportedly hated the script and only took the lead because she needed a career boost. She said the experience making the film was awful, though she has not divulged exactly why. Her experience making the film and its very poor reception even nearly made her quit the industry before David Fincher cast her in his films "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which garnered her critical acclaim and revitalized her career.
Trivia: Original series star Robert Englund was very supportive of the film during production, but admitted after it came out that he disliked how it turned out, feeling Krueger's makeup design was poor and that the characters weren't likeable or empathetic enough.
Trivia: Prior to production, there were rumors that Billy Bob Thornton would play the new Freddy Krueger. Original Freddy actor Robert Englund was very instrumental in reporting and talking about this rumor, and would publicly speak about it, even implying it was a done-deal on several occasions. This caused some minor confusion when Thornton was not cast, and it turns out that Englund was talking about it so much (especially in implying Thorton was in the film) in an attempt to pressure the studio into casting Thornton, as he felt Thornton would be the perfect actor for a modern Freddy.
Trivia: The script was rewritten no less than 15 times. The final draft is a mixture of four of them.
Answer: It is not consistently portrayed throughout the series where victims will end up when attacked by Freddy. Some victims are shown running from Freddy down hallways and their dead bodies are found in their bed, others are shown "sleepwalking", and end up being found relative to where they were in the dream world. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason for this inconsistency.
