Question: Why does Freddy use Alice to gain access to 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.

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.
