7	Much-maligned as it is, even this film has a few genuinely horrific tricks up its sleeve.

10	----
11	* Freddy still has some legitimately straight-faced, creepy moments, such as his standing in a windswept cellar doorway and gloating "''every'' town has an Elm Street", revealing his OmnicidalManiac ambitions, and later threatening his long-lost daughter with the line "I didn't need a glove to kill your bitch of a mother, and I don't need one to kill you". Despite the jokes, Creator/RobertEnglund could always make Freddy terrifying again at the drop of a dusty old fedora.
12	** Even though present day Freddy is super hammy and funny, in Maggie's childhood memory Englund plays him completely straight and very menacing. It also establishes Freddy not as a creepy loner but as a seemingly ordinary family man, which makes him even more disturbing.
13	--->'''Loretta Krueger:''' Fred, please... I won't tell...\
14	'''Fred Krueger:''' We need to talk, Loretta...
15	** It's shown that Freddy had a work room in the basement that his family was forbidden from entering. What's shown to be inside are newspaper clippings about mutilated children, handcuffs, a plate of cookies and a variety of blood-encrusted prototype gloves. It's the furthest the series goes in exploring Freddy's life as a serial killer, and it's deeply disturbing. As funny as Freddy can be, he's a sadist who's hobby was abducting, torturing, mutilating and killing small children.
16	* The scene with the map is actually pretty disturbing. Mainly due to the fact we don't even know it's Carlos' dream until he starts unfolding the map and it just keeps going...and going and going till it's practically covering the van, with the words "You're Fucked!" scribbled in blood.
17	* Tracy meets Freddy in her dream, appearing as her father, who molested her and it is implied she killed in self-defense. He proceeds to feel her up, try to make her kiss him, and triggers her to the point that she bashes his face in with a kettle, which ''does absolutely nothing to faze him.'' And then he gets back up, revealing his face bent up and scrunched.
18	-->'''Freddy:''' No huggy for daddy? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! What's with kids today, huh? No respect!
19	* There is a brief, genuinely creepy moment in one of the otherwise very silly scene where Freddy Krueger takes away the nearly-deaf Carlos' hearing aid... and absolutely no sound plays as Freddy Krueger walks behind the confused Carlos, shouting at him, flailing about... being deaf, KNOWING that he's there, but having nothing BUT your sight to spot him is actually pretty creepy.
20	* The state of Springwood. All of the young people besides John are dead, and no one can enter or leave the city limits unless Freddy wants them to. He has complete control over the entire town, the remaining adults of which are all insane, going about their day in a StepfordSmiler manner, occasionally showing disconcerting moments of lucidity, like when the schoolteacher recognizes Maggie, or when a husband drags his fawning wife away from Carlos, Tracy and Spencer.
21	-->'''Wife:''' I want my children back!\
22	'''Husband:''' You know they bring HIM!
