** [[Film/PulpFiction Waking up an unconscious woman by jabbing an adrenaline-filled needle straight down between her breasts.]] Also, three of the characters are named "Nancy," "Jesse," and "Kris"...the protagonists in the first three original Nightmare movies.
** Multiple moments from the climax are shout outs to ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' (Freddy saying "Why don't you just die?" A female character saying "Welcome to/you're in my world bitch," and [[spoiler: Freddy's claw arm getting chopped off]])

I consider it hilariously implausible that Freddy was changed to a groundskeeper as a fucking Simpsons reference.

* DarkerAndEdgier: This version of Freddy is a lot darker than his original counterpart, being completely humorless and considerably more vicious. Not to mention, he's a pedophile in his version, which somehow [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil manages to be creepier than being a child murderer]].

* PaedoHunt: ''Never'' touch This version of Freddy sexually abused the children of Springwood or you'll end up like Freddy.Elm Street, which causes the parents to murder him when they find out what happened.


Added DiffLines:

* VigilanteInjustice: The parents murdered Freddy after they found out that he had been sexually abusing their children. While Nancy and Quentin call them out for murdering Freddy because they didn't remember what had happened and initially believed Freddy was vengeful over his unjust murder because the parents chose to murder him first rather than take him to court. [[spoiler: Nancy and Quentin do eventually find out that Freddy did in fact molest them and Freddy has no sympathetic motivations for attacking them.]]
