[[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It\|As you can tell]], Wes Craven returns to the franchise for the third time, writing and directing this meta picture; unlike the other films, this one is set in the real world, where Freddy is nothing more than a fictional horror icon. After Craven starts developing ideas for a new installment in the terminated franchise, [[Ultimate Evil\|an ancient evil]], [[Sealed Evil in a Can\|imprisoned]] in the film series since the first and released by Freddy's death in the sixth, decides it doesn't like the idea of being trapped again and sets out to stop the production; its main targets are Heather Langenkamp (who the entity views as "Nancy" and the only one who can stop it) and her young son. The arguable precursor to ''[[Scream (film)\|Scream]]'' (also by Craven), ''New Nightmare'' received a degree of praise for its study of the [[No Fourth Wall\|nature of reality]]. '''''[[Freddy vs. Jason]]''''' (2003) Line 60 ⟶ 62: ---- {{Franchisetropes}} * [[Eighties Hair]]: Especially Nancy.▼ * [[3D Movie]]: ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare''. * [[Abandoned Hospital]]: A large portion of Westin Hills, until it gets renovated sometime before ''Freddy vs. Jason''. Line 151 ⟶ 152: * [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Freddy vowed revenge on the parents who burned him by killing their kids just because they killed him so he couldn't hurt them in the first place. Who are we kidding? Freddy would've done what he's done even if he wasn't set ablaze. The only thing that burning Freddy did was free him from his mortal existence so he could become a nightmare god. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero\|Way to go, parents]]. ** Also done in the remake, except this time, he goes after the kids [[The Stool Pigeon\|because they were the ones who told their parents what he was doing]]. * [[Double Standard]]: In the remake, it is made very clear that all of the kids were molested by Freddy. "You're gonna pay for what you did to my son!" and other lines. But the film only shows Freddy taunting and flirting with the girls, and at no point did Quentin seem to blink at the realization of "hey, ''I'' was raped too!" But if you think about it, there is a reason for his attitude towards Quentin, compared to the others. Nancy was always Freddy's 'favoritie', so when he learned about Nancy and Quentin's feelings for each other, he got [[~~:Category:~~Yandere\|a little jealous]]. More than likely Freddy only raped the girls and that it was just assumed that he raped Quentin and other boys. * Pedophiles in [[Real Life]] sometimes exchange kiddie porn with one another in secret. Possibly Freddy took dirty pictures of the boys to trade for similar photos of girls. Line 159 ⟶ 160: * [[Dream Within a Dream]]: Freddy loves screwing with people this way. * [[Driven to Suicide]]: Freddy's mother, after hearing about her son's release. ▲* [[Eighties Hair]]: Especially Nancy. * [[Everyone Went to School Together]]: Played straight in the remake when {{spoiler\|you find out all the victims went to the same preschool that Freddy worked at in life}}. ** Also justified. {{spoiler\|Freddy only went after those particular kids ''because'' they went to school together.}} Line 235 ⟶ 237: * [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Nancy gets her [[Skunk Stripe]] when she brings Freddy's hat from the dream world. * [[Losing Your Head]]: Mrs. Parker in Kristen's dream in ''Dream Warriors''. * [[Lucid Dream]]: The whole movie series centers around this and Freddy Krueger, who can enter his victims' dreams and manipulate them. ** ''A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors'' centers around a psychiatrist's efforts to help a bunch of teens learning how to use their dreaming to fight him. * [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare'' reveals that {{spoiler\|Freddy had a daughter named Katherine, who thankfully looks nothing like him.}} * [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: Joey in ''Dream Warriors''. Line 354 ⟶ 358: {{quote\|'''John Doe''': I know why you let me go. '''Freddy''': Oh. Do you think ''I'm'' your daddy? Mm-mm! Wrong!}} * [[~~:Category:Yandere\|~~Yandere]]: Played straight by Freddy himself in the remake towards Nancy. While he intends to kill all the children for {{spoiler\|telling their parents he molested them}} he saves Nancy for [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil\|something worse]], because as her mother admitted, she's ''his favorite one of all''. * [[You Need to Get Laid]]: Spencer's response to Tracy's bitchiness in ''Freddy's Dead''. * [[Your Head Asplode]]: Carlos in ''Freddy's Dead''.
