** During the film's climax, Freddy wasn't supposed to go up the stairs and then fall back down them. The stunt man was only supposed to walk to them and signal the director to cut, but he was still comfortable with the burn at that point and improvised some extra action.

** The film was originally supposed to be set in Los Angeles. The script mentions the San Fernando Valley, a cut line has a teenager say "California is the most high and palmy state, man!" in the classroom scene, palm trees are visible in the background of some scenes, and Glen and Nancy go on a date on a footbridge that is unmistakably in Venice Beach. This setting detail was changed for the final cut of the film where the town's name or possible location is never stated at any point to make the setting an EverytownAmerica.[[labelnote:*]]Unless you pay attention to the cars, which all have California license plates.[[/labelnote]] This avoids some MountainsOfIllinois problems with the Thompsons having a basement with a furnace in Southern California. The second movie establishes the town's name as Springwood, which later movies place in Ohio.

* ChannelHop: Several studios declined the film for different reasons. The first studio to show interest was Creator/{{Disney}}, although they wanted Creator/WesCraven to tone down the content to make it suitable for children and preteens. Another studio to show interest was Creator/{{Paramount}}; however the studios passed on the project due to its similarity to ''Film/{{Dreamscape}}'', a film they were producing at the time. Creator/UniversalStudios also passed; Craven, who was in desperate personal and financial straits during this period, later framed their rejection letter on the wall of his office.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In the '80s and '90s, it wasn't particularly common to see a home video release of the X-rated uncut version, which only appeared in certain foreign countries, but the only known DVD release of it was in Turkey, and that's even harder to come across than the uncut videocassette releases in those aforementioned certain countries. The U.S. 1996 Laserdisc release comes closest domestically by including the excised footage as a bonus feature. It also contains a scene, just a few seconds long, without any violence, but a few extra lines by Nancy's mother. Had it been included in the final cut, it would have significantly changed the plot and added details on Freddy's past.[[https://movieweb.com/nightmare-on-elm-street-deleted-scene-nancy-sibling/]]. For what it's worth, the current R-rated version does completely restore the 8 seconds of footage cut from Glen's demise (6 seconds of which had already been restored for the initial VHS release) that wasn't in the theatrical R-rated version, but Tina's death remains censored, and while the actual R-rated version itself hasn't had a known release on home video, it's easy to recreate by simply removing the footage from Glen's death.

** Freddy's sweater in the script was colored red and yellow and his glove had fishing hooks instead of blades. The colour change came about after Wes Craven read in an article that the two most contrasting colours on the human retina were red and green.

** Tina's death scene was also more elaborate in the original script. The scene of Freddy chasing her was supposed to be longer, with ghostly faces peering out the windows of the neighboring homes before retreating and turning off their lights in fear. There were also supposed to be several POV shots from Tina's point of view as Freddy was slashing her (these were filmed but ultimately cut). Finally, towards the end, the script mentions the ceiling on Tina's bedroom turning into an endless plane which Freddy drags her off to, possibly implying he was taking her soul to his realm.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Craven originally wanted to end the film with a HappyEnding. However, Robert Shaye insisted on a [[DownerEnding darker ending]] and prevailed. Aside from opening the door for the very popular sequels to be made, Craven's intended ending could be seen as anti-climactic when judged against the rest of the film. However, Craven's intended ending was the whole point of the film, the story of a teen struggling against overwhelming odds without the help of adults, feeling powerless, and ultimately overcoming and conquering the threat on her own. Changing the ending to render her eternally powerless over Freddy despite all her struggle makes the entire story pointless and completely undermines the film's youth empowerment message. Whether the ending was changed to allow for sequels, or to make the ending more exciting is a point of contention. Craven asserts the former, but Shaye has adamantly insisted on the latter in more than one interview.

* InspirationForTheWork: The basis of the film was inspired by several newspaper articles printed in the Los Angeles Times in the 1970s about Southeast Asian refugees, who, after fleeing to the United States because of war and genocide in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, suffered disturbing nightmares and refused to sleep. Some of the men died in their sleep soon after. Medical authorities called the phenomenon Asian Death Syndrome. The condition afflicted men between the ages of 19 and 57 and was believed to be sudden unexplained death syndrome or Brugada syndrome or both. The 1970s pop song "Dream Weaver" by Music/GaryWright sealed the story for Craven, giving him not only an artistic setting to jump off from, but a synthesizer riff for the movie soundtrack.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In the '80s and '90s, it wasn't particularly common to see a home video release of the X-rated uncut version, which only appeared in certain foreign countries, but the only known DVD release of it was in Turkey, and that's even harder to come across than the uncut videocassette releases in those aforementioned certain countries. The U.S. laser videodisc release comes closest domestically by including the excised footage as a bonus feature.

For what it's worth, the current R-rated version does add 8 seconds of footage to Glen's demise that wasn't in the theatrical R-rated version, but Tina's death remains censored.
