Storyline

It's nearing the 10th Anniversary of the film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and one of the stars, Heather Langenkamp is being scared by a voice on a phone, sounding very similar to the film's villain, Freddy Krueger. When Heather's husband is killed in a car accident and is discovered with slash marks on him, Heather starts to wonder something. Especially when she discovers that Wes Craven is writing another 'Nightmare' film. Soon, she realizes that Freddy has now entered the real world, and the only way to defeat him is to become Nancy Thompson once again. Written by Film_Fan

Trivia

During the scene in the playground where Heather is talking about what happened at the funeral, right as she says, "Seeing Freddy in that grave seemed pretty real," a boy rides by on a bicycle wearing a sweater that is nearly identical to the one Freddy himself wears. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: During the final scene when Dylan is in the furnace, he has to push aside a snake to escape. The snake is exhibiting a rattling sound. The actual snake is an immature albino Suriname boa constrictor, and they do not rattle. Only rattlesnakes give off that sound as a warning. See more »

Crazy Credits

Near the end of the credits reads: "Some parts of this motion picture
were inspired by actual events. Others may be attributed to the
overactive imagination of a five-year-old boy" ... "The names of certain
of the characters portrayed have been changed to protect the innocent.
Certain incidents portrayed have been dramatized. With the exclusion of
those courageous individuals who portrayed themselves, any similarity to
the name, character or history of any person, living or dead, is entirely
coincidnetal and unintentional." See more »
