** The alternate ending turns the creepiness up to eleven for the ending scene by having Freddy change back to his human form. Instead of making him look less scary, it serves as a reminder to the audience (and Nancy) that Freddy was just as much of a monster when he was alive.

* Freddy's face [[spoiler: melting from being burnt alive and his screams while running towards Quentin.]]

* Freddy's ultimate goal in the film [[spoiler: isn't to kill the kids from the preschool - well, not ALL of them. He intentionally makes sure that Nancy [[{{Squick}} (his favorite)]] stays awake long enough that by the time she does fall asleep, [[DudeShesLikeInAComa she's unlikely to ever wake up again,]] and will stay alive and trapped in the dream world with him forever.]]

* This film adds the concept of "micronaps," times when, after being awake too long, your brain enters a brief REM-type state to try and rest itself. You can be walking around normally, and suddenly Freddy can get to you, because ''technically'' you're dreaming. Suddenly, unlike in the earlier films, it's not about "finding a way to deal with Freddy before we just can't stay awake any longer," it's about "finding a way to deal with Freddy because I could have a fatal micronap ''at any moment''." It also helps to explain the blurred lines between reality and dreams present in the earlier films, especially the original.

* Really Freddy in general in this reboot. His face is more frightening thanks to better effects and he lost a lot of the humor and campiness he picked up over the years. Also the fact he is portrayed as a child molester rather than a child murderer is somehow even ''more'' creepy.

* "Did you know that the brain can still function for seven minutes after the heart stops beating? [[ColdBloodedTorture We still have six minutes to play..."]]

* The remake makes Freddy Krueger even ''worse''. ColdBloodedTorture and AttemptedRape both show up, the latter combined with DudeShesLikeInAComa... [[ItMakesSenseInContext sort of.]]
