- Kincaid's junkyard death offers a brief Hope Spot where it seems like he's crushed Freddy, only for all the old cars to suddenly blare to life and explode around him before he gets trapped in an enclosure. As Kincaid tries to scream for Kristen's help and that Freddy's returned, the camera zooms out to reveal the entire planet is one huge junkyard and after this zoom out, cuts back to Freddy instantly reappearing and stabbing Kincaid.
- Alice's first meeting with Freddy involves her watching as Kristen burns to death, before her soul gets sucked into Freddy. Alice can only watch in pure horror as Kristen's terrified face forms on Freddy's chest alongside his other victims.
- Despite the Lighter and Softer nature of this movie compared to the others, this is also the one where Freddy completes his vicious revenge against the Elm Street children. Instead of being content with his victory, he finds and uses a loophole to keep killing and devolves for the rest of the series into an increasingly more simple, monstrous being who wants more and more fresh souls, his demonic appetite, personality and ambitions only worsening, eventually becoming an outright Omnicidal Maniac.
- Freddy gives off very lecherous vibes, especially the tongue flapping, when he invites Sheila to "suck face." It's especially creepy since Sheila is just an innocent teenage girl.
- Freddy's pizza. It has the tiny screaming heads of his victims, begging for release, as "toppings". Freddy casually impales one with a finger claw and pops it in his mouth, as it's still screaming for help. Even worse? It's Alice's brother Rick, whom he had just killed, and he does this in front of Alice purely to taunt her since he can't kill her.
- Holy shit, is Debbie's death this and some. It involves her turning into a cockroach in what is clearly a very Painful Transformation before being crushed in a roach motel. As if that wasn't bad enough, right before he crushes her, you can also see a close-up of an actual cockroach also trapped next to her in the motel and struggling to get free. Anyone with a phobia of those can identify what a Primal Fear it truly is. Out of the entire franchise, Debbie's death was truly one of the longest and most elaborate that Freddy has ever inflicted.
- Debbie doesn't even look like a normal roach after her transformation, but some mutated parody of one. It doesn't help that her bottom half is still human. What also doesn't help are Debbie's screams of anguish as she writhes around in pain...Freddy: You can check in, but you can't check out!
