History Film / FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare

->'''Freddy:''' Time to start all over again.\\

* MoodWhiplash: This is the most comedic movie in the series but has some of the series' darkest moments. The movie that has Freddy riding a broomstick and playing a videogame also features flashbacks to his life before becoming famous as a child murderer and has him strangling his wife in front of their child after she found out.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Like the second film, its place in the series' continuity is somewhat nebulous. When ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' rolled around it showed Springwood as mostly normal and having dealt with Freddy by "forgetting" about him, a scenario that seems to flow on from the fifth film more than it does this one. For this reason, some fans treat ''Freddy Vs. Jason'' as an {{Interquel}} set before ''Freddy's Dead''.

In "ten years from now", Freddy has managed to kill every child in Springwood, sans one whom he has left alive to aid in his plan to break out from there, so that he can continue killing where-ever he chooses to.

'''Freddy:''' Hehehe... Every town – has an Elm Street! Haaahahaha!

* OnlyOneName: With the exception of Maggie Burroughs, [[spoiler: Freddy's long-lost daughter whose real name is Katherine Krueger]], none of the other featured protagonists in the film have a surname.

* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: In spite of Tracy's attempts to tell him she knows a better way to get to the dream world to help Spencer, John persists in provoking her to knock him out, to the point where he slaps her. [[BullyingADragon Bad idea]].

* [[spoiler: MenAreTheExpendableGender: With the exception of the death of Freddy's wife in a flashback, all of the victims in this film are men.]]

* LighterAndSofter: While ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet5TheDreamChild'' at least tried to go back to a more serious horror roots of the first few Elm Street movies, this movie is completely campy and silly and almost feels like a parody of the Elm Street movies.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Originally, Maggie told the audience when to put on their 3D glasses by looking into the camera and saying "Now!" But that version of the scene got cut.

* TheCameo: Creator/JohnnyDepp, Roseanne Barr, Tom Arnold and Music/AliceCooper all have appearances.

* CurbstompBattle:[[spoiler: The final battle between Maggie and Freddy is pretty much one-sided with Maggie completely dominating Freddy]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: The victims Freddy goes after have significantly-harsher past histories (child abuse, incest and [[spoiler: being the daughter of a serial killer]]) than those from previous films. Despite this (and the tagline on the film poster, seen above), this film is also [[LighterAndSofter by far the most comedic in the series, and the death scenes are pretty light on gore]].

* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:John Doe]].

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Maggie.

* FinalGirl: Maggie Burroughs/[[spoiler: Katherine Krueger]]. (Her actual name is Maggie Burnham. She is identified as this in the screenplay, Fangoria's Movie Magazine about the film at the time, and it can be seen on a bottle of prescription sleeping pills in the film.)

* MoodWhiplash: This is the most comedic movie in the series but has some of the series' darkest moments. The movie that has Freddy riding a broomstick and playing a videogame also has him strangling his wife in front of their child because she found out he's a child murderer.

* SceneryPorn

-->'''Freddy:''' "I'll get you, my pretty! And your little soul, too!"

* StartOfDarkness: The barrage of flashbacks at the end serve this purpose.

* LukeIAmYourFather: The film reveals that [[spoiler:Freddy had a daughter named Maggie.]]
** [[spoiler:Well, he had named her Katherine.]]
