* '"'[[IHaveYouNowMyPretty Come to Freddy]]''". Cue LecherousLicking.

* Marge is on both ends of the spectrum in a way. On one hand, she's lived the AdultFear of nearly losing your child to a stranger at school who turned out to be a serial killer. Oh the other, she's allowed the trauma of the event and the effort to keep it under wraps to drive her into alcoholism, and the subsequent denial of Nancy's claims that something is wrong reads less like she doesn't believe it, and more that she ''can't'' allow herself to believe it or she doesn't know what else to do if even killing the bastard won't get rid of him. With the end result being that Nancy now has to deal with one of the most active and present parents in her life seemingly ''trying'' to get her killed by doing the exact opposite of every single thing she requests to feel safe.

* "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy."

* There's something distinctly unnerving about the way Freddy's voice shifts from a [[SoftSpokenSadist soft, quiet tone]] to a deep, guttural and demonic voice. At first glance the change is somewhat jarring, but when one considers how Freddy seems to grow stronger throughout the film [[FridgeBrilliance it suddenly makes perfect]], [[FridgeHorror horrifying sense]].

* As tacky as the scene was, at the end when the car hosting the colors of Freddy's sweater whisks the shocked kids in it away while the happy mother waves goodbye, before she is sniped through the window while children are singing the eerie song... [[GainaxEnding That scene just...why.]] The tacky special effects ''amplify'' the, er, nightmarish surreality of the final sequence.

** That one comment the paramedics make when they arrive at Glen's house. "Forget the stretcher, you need a mop!"

* Tina's death in which she's brutally dragged across the ceiling of her bedroom.

** It gets worse. According to WordOfGod, that's not Glen's blood, but the blood of Freddy's previous victims! And in a deleted scene, we see Glen slowly rise out of the hole before toppling over on the mattress, dead. Glen drowned in a fountain of blood.

[[caption-width-right:350:What a terrible way to die.]]

* The most famous two deaths are Tina's death in which she's brutally dragged across the ceiling of her bedroom and when Glen is pulled into his bed and turned into a geyser of blood.
** It gets worse when it comes to Glen's death. According to WordOfGod, that's not Glen's blood, but the blood of Freddy's previous victims! And in a deleted scene, we see Glen slowly rise out of the hole before toppling over on the mattress, dead. Glen drowned in a fountain of blood.
** That one comment the paramedics make when they arrive at Glen's house. "Forget the stretcher, you need a mop!"
* "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy."
* Any scene involving the dream version of Tina's body, highlight being that giant centipede coming out of her mouth.
* Rod's blankets slowly wrapping around his neck, before eventually dragging him up so that he can be hanged in his prison cell.
* As tacky as the scene was, at the end when the car hosting the colors of Freddy's sweater whisks the shocked kids in it away while the happy mother waves goodbye, before she is sniped through the window while children are singing the eerie song... [[GainaxEnding That scene just...why.]] The tacky special effects ''amplify'' the, er, nightmarish surreality of the final sequence.

* The school scene. All of it. Nancy falls asleep in class, then sees Tina in a body bag being dragged by an invisible force and leaving behind a trail of blood, which leads her to Freddy's boiler room, where he chases her and she burns her arm on a pipe and wakes up screaming.

** It gets worse when it comes to Glen's death. According to WordOfGod, the reason why there's a geyser of blood is because that's not Glen's blood, but the blood of Freddy's previous victims! And in a deleted scene, we see Glen slowly rise out of the hole before toppling over on the mattress, dead. Glen drowned in a fountain of blood.
