* FridgeHorror:
** Remember how Freddy was originally conceived as a serial killer who preyed on children and a sexual predator as well? What did Freddy really mean when he said he "touched" Dylan?
** If one goes with the idea that the Entity possessed Robert to become Freddy, there is a good possibility that [[spoiler:Heather killed Robert when defeating the Entity]].
*** Averted. [[WordofGod Robert Englund himself]] was asked this question by a fan of the film, which he explained that there was a scene written in the script that wasn't filmed that involved him having a nightmare about Freddy as a spider, it being an homage to ''Film/TheFly1958'' and how he was wrecking his career that it caused Robert to leave Los Angeles for a while, averting that the film version of Englund was KilledOffForReal. The fan posted a video about this question and of Englund's response [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2db-G48tJ74 here]].

* CompleteMonster: "[[AncientEvil The Entity]]" is an ancient, demonic being that has tormented mankind for centuries in many forms, its only goal being the brutal slaying of innocent people. Able to be trapped inside "stories" for a time, the Entity was once the [[WickedWitch Witch]] of ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'', and in the present is the form of [[Characters/ANightmareOnElmStreetFreddyKrueger Freddy Krueger]] himself. Yearning to escape the ''Nightmare on Elm Street'' story, the Entity reaches out and begins butchering people around Heather Langenkamp, from the crew of the films to Heather's beloved husband Chase. All the while [[MindRape mentally tormenting]] Heather and her 5-year-old son Dylan on a nightly basis with [[NightmareWeaver violent dreams]], the Entity [[ForcedToWatch forces Dylan to watch]] as it butchers his surrogate aunt Julie. The Entity plans to torturously kill both Heather and eat Dylan alive so it can finally enter reality and begin a full-fledged murder spree on humankind.

* MagnificentBastard: The fictionalized version of Creator/WesCraven himself is a film director and [[TheStoryteller storyteller]] with a singular purpose: to imprison the monstrous demon known as [[OurDemonsAreDifferent the Entity]] that takes the form of his creation [[Characters/ANightmareOnElmStreetFreddyKrueger Freddy Krueger]]. Understanding the nightmarish glee the Entity takes in slaughter, Wes also knows that the films are losing their capacity to contain the monster. Writing a new film script as "Freddy" begins to escape to the real world, Wes then delivers it to heroine Creator/HeatherLangenkamp and arranges events so she will be forced to take on the role of Nancy, Freddy's greatest nemesis. Writing the events of the film and setting up the confrontation, Wes endangers Heather and her son Dylan while also ensuring Heather is strong enough to defeat "Freddy" and imprison the Entity with his newest film.
