Marge Thompson: You want to know who Fred Krueger was? He was a filthy child murderer who killed at least twenty kids in the neighborhood. Kids we all knew. It drove us crazy when we didn't know who it was, but it was even worse after they caught him.
Nancy Thompson: Didn't they put him away?
Marge Thompson: The lawyers got fat and the judge got famous, but somebody forgot to sign the search warrant in the right place. Krueger was free just like that!
Nancy Thompson: What did you do, Mother?
Marge Thompson: A bunch of us parents tracked him down after they let him out. We found him in an old abandoned boiler room where he used to take his kids.
Nancy Thompson: Go on.
Marge Thompson: We took gasoline, poured it all around the place, made a trail of it out the door, then lit the whole thing up and watched it burn. He can't get you now. He's dead honey, because Mommy killed him. I even took his knives. So it's OK now. You can sleep.

Visible crew/equipment: When Rod is being strangled by the sheet in the jail cell, watch as it goes around his neck and you can see the wire in the sheet that pulls it. (00:42:20)
Trivia: When Johnny Depp is asleep in his room (just before he gets killed) with the T.V. on. The television says, "It is now 12 midnight and this is station KRGR leaving the air." KRGR is Krueger without the vowels. (01:08:10)
Question: Why did Freddy's voice change? At the start of the film when he was chasing Tina, he said, "This is god," but throughout the rest of the film (and the series of the films) his voice went deeper. You have to kind of listen carefully throughout the film to know what I'm talking about.
