As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You have been warned.

  • During Kincaid's nightmare, the zoom out to an entire planetwide junkyard following Freddy's resurrection.
    • Followed by Kincaid telling Freddy he'll see him in hell. Although Freddy took him down, to the very end Kincaid was a badass.
      Kincaid: See you in hell.
      Freddy: Tell 'em Freddy sent you!
  • After Sheila's death, Dan and an unnamed Jerk Jock are discussing the recent happenings at the school. That's when the Jock notices Rick, and not only brings up Kristen's death but insults Alice, which pisses Dan off enough to promptly shut him up in Rick and Alice's defense. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
    "Jock": 93 days 'til summer vacation, man.
    Dan: What's the matter, you tired?
    "Jock": No, I'm getting worried. Let's just see if we can make it until summer. It's like open season around here. Pretty weird stuff. (notices Rick) Speaking of "weird", you gotta feel for that guy. Dead girlfriend, basket-case for a sister—
    Dan: (grabs "Jock" by the shirt and shoves him against the lockers) Why don't you learn to shut up, asshole?!
  • Give Rick credit: despite fighting an invisible Freddy, he manages to fight back and actually kicks his butt, with Freddy only winning with a cheap shot.
  • Alice's Lock-and-Load Montage. Watch it here.
    Alice: Fuckin' A.
  • Freddy's death scene, with dozens of his previous victims' souls ripping their way out of his body and tearing him to pieces in the process. Also Visual Effects of Awesome; it was done with real actors inside a giant Freddy torso, and still looks good 25 years later. Better yet, it's foreshadowed in the movie poster. What initially looks like him ecstatic to rise from his grave and continue his reign of terror is in fact the face he makes upon realizing he's fucked.
