Slimy, goo-like images shown, very brief.
In a dream sequence, a character accidentally tears Freddy's face off. His muscles and skull are seen, although it's presented in a slightly cartoonish way.
Freddy causes a teenage boy's bedsheets to come to life and strangle him to death. Very brief.
In a dream sequence, a woman turns into an ashy skeleton.
Freddy smashes his clawed hand through a door's window and pulls a woman through it, where her implied death occurs afterwards. However, it's worth noting that the effect looks hilariously fake.

The film compared to horror films now is pretty mild. There's a cartoonish amount of blood shown, but the film is more just "spooky" than anything. It doesn't ever feel disturbing.
Freddy's appearance is the scariest thing in the movie with his burnt face and his glove with finger knives.
The film's primary sources of terror are from the disturbing imagery found in the dream sequences, as well as the unknown, mysterious figure of Freddy.
The ending is very creepy and unsettling, especially since it comes out of nowhere.
Several jump scares throughout the film.
