** The first time is in Season 1, when he learns that Giroux is going to be replaced by a guy named Martial Boulet as the principal. According to Vincent, some people say that Boulet is "like Freddy Krueger but without the human side."
** The second time is upon seeing Dominique's [[GagHaircut atrocious new haircut]] during a Season 5 episode, where he jokingly wonders if Freddy was the one who cut her hair.

* ''Series/StrangerThings'':
** In episode 1x07 the boys say to meet at the corner of "Elm and Cherry". Which would mean there is an Elm Street in Hawkins (or possibly Elm Road or such). It is probably not a coincidence that moments later the boys pass by two young girls singing a rhyme.
** In Season 4, a few characters are killed onscreen in a similar way to Tina in ''A Nightmare on Elm Street''. Ironically, Creator/RobertEnglund's character is compared with [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] even though he was convicted of the first two such murders.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' has monsters named Nightmares instead of the "usual" Witches, but what makes it clear that the series is being referenced is the sequence where Hitomi gets dragged into the alternate reality: she sinks into her bed much like what happens to Glen in the first ''Nightmare'' movie, with what seem to be red silly strings taking the place of the blood geyser in the movie.

* ''ComicBook/DylanDog'' has Mana Cerace the boogeyman who is a quite blatant {{expy}} of Krueger. As a comic based upon references to horror films and literature, there are several other nods to the franchise.
