    • Trivia
      In the opening sequence, the bus driver is Robert Englund without the "Freddy" make-up.
    • Goofs
      There is an instance in which the same scene is used twice: after the gym fight when Grady and Jesse are holding the push-ups pose in the field, as punishment (at around 10 mins). This is the same scene used for when Jesse insults Schneider in the locker room (at around 28 minutes). The same people pass behind the fence.

      [the kid approaches Freddy Krueger around the pool, standing up for the other frightened kids]

      Do-Gooder: [holding his hands up, walking to Freddy] Just tell us what you want, all right? I'm here to help you.

      Freddy Krueger: Help yourself, fucker!

      [as Freddy slices his shoulder and throws him against the flaming barbecue pit]

    Possessed by Freddy Krueger
    When the Walsh's move to the Elm Street, the teenager Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton) has a creepy nightmare with a burned man wearing a glove with blades called Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) that tells him that Jesse has the body and he has the brain. Jesse becomes close to Lisa Webber (Kim Myers), who also has a crush on him, and befriends his school mate Ron Grady (Robert Rusler), who tells him that his house had remained closed for five years since the former dweller Nancy Thompson that went to a mental institution after witnessing the death of her boyfriend on the other side of the street and her mother in the living room. Lisa finds the diary of Nancy hidden in a locker while Jesse is possessed by Freddy Krueger that uses him to kill his victims.

    This sequel to the classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is underrated in IMDb. The story about possession is more romantic with the love of Lisa for Jesse, has plot holes but is also entertaining, with the use of great special effects. This movie is also the debut of Kim Myers, who has an impressive resemblance with Meryl Streep, in the cinema in a lead role. Again there is an open conclusion to give a sequel to the saga of Freddy Krueger. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "A Hora do Pesadelo 2 – A Vingança de Freddy " ("The Hour of the Nightmare 2 – The Revenge of Freddy")
