    • Trivia
      Freddy's sweater was knitted by Judy Graham, the same woman who knitted Freddy's sweater in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
    • Goofs
      (at around 18 mins) When Nancy and Quentin are talking in the school, between shots Quentin's jumper moves so that 'Joy Division' is fully visible on his T-shirt, however when the camera moves back to the position it was before, the jumper has moved back, so that you can only see 'Y Divis'.

    Seriously not that bad

    People are so whiney I swear.

    If this was the original nightmare it would be rated far higher. People are just mad cause it's a "remake". I thought it was a very good adaption. Freddy was menacing. The acting, story and effects were also very good.
