* AbusiveParents: Devonne's abusive dad drove her into murder and insanity. Specifically, he murdered her sister by accident. Pushed by how her dad was never punished and her mom never did anything about it, Devonne killed them by turning the gas on the kitchen stove on and leaving the house knowing her mom would light a match for her cigarette.



* BatmanGambit: Devonne's murder attempt on her abusive parents relied on her mother striking a match after leaving the gas on in the kitchen and no one bothering to turn it off. It worked.

''Nightmares on Elm Street'' is a six-issue comic series by Innovation Publishing. It is an {{Interquel}} which bridges the gap between [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet5TheDreamChild the fifth]] and [[Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare sixth]] ''[[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Elm Street]]'' films.

Freddy, who still gives nightmares to the citizens of Springwood, seeks to get back at those who have defeated him in the past and move past the barriers that limit him in the dream world. Biggest obstacle to his plans is Nancy, who has developed dream powers of her own and uses them to help people in their dreams.

The first two issues deal directly with Nancy, and Freddy attempting to get to her by targeting Neil and Nancy's college roommates. The next four issues are a direct sequel to ''Dream Child'', with Alice and Jacob Johnson returning to Springwood for her father's funeral, all the while Krueger is using a disturbed woman named Devonne to kill people in the waking world for him.
