History Headscratchers / ANightmareOnElmStreet1984

* This made more sense in the first movie, when Freddy made a token attempt, Glen's death aside, of making the deaths look like they had a mundane explanation. As mentioned, like Tina murdered by Rod since he was in the room at the time, Rod hanging himself, Sheila suffering asthma attack... occasionally he still does it in later movies, like making it look like one of the kids sleepwalked their way off a tower and another getting into a car accident. However, the deaths get more and more bizarre as the series goes on to the point it becomes unbelievable that anyone could think these weren't supernatural. I think the adults know what's going on but are just plain in denial because it's so horrific and it's not like they are actually able to do anything about it. It isn't until Hypnocyil comes along that the adults even have a means to prevent Freddy from killing the kids. The whole plot of Freddy Vs. Jason relies upon the adults finally getting off their butts to do something and they're so effective at it Freddy has to bring in Jason to get around their measures.
