Line 256:
* [[Nice Hat]]: The fedora, of course.
** Nancy has one at the funeral scene in ''Dream Warriors''.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: Freddy Krueger is a combination of [[Fighting a Shadow]] and in some movies The Proxy. He ''can'' be pulled out of the dream world, and then either made to disappear [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|in a puff of logic]], blown up with a pipe bomb shoved into his stomach, or, if the [[Final Girl]] is a [http://www.khurak.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/monica-keena3.jpg hot little blonde from Brooklyn] who's [[Took a Level
* [[Nightmare Dreams]]: Freddy's modus operandi.
* [[No Time to Explain]]: Nancy has a dream that she's seeing {{spoiler|her friend Rod}} being killed in the jail cell he's in. She wakes up and gets Glen (Johnny Depp) to accompany her to the police station. They join up at Nancy's house and run to the police station. Nancy waits until they're entering the police station to tell Glen that she doesn't have any time to explain. What could they have been discussing the rest of the way there that was more important than the fact that {{spoiler|Rod Lane}} was being killed?
Line 325:
* [[Strictly Formula]]: ''[[Freddy's Nightmares]]'' (the first season, at least) usually went like this. That awesome opening. A cheesy intro with Freddy. Character doing something fairly mundane. Weird, inexplicable shit happens. It turns out its all just a dream, hallucination or the character is dying. Cheesy epilogue with Freddy. Fin.
* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]: Subverted with Nancy and Don in ''Dream Warriors'' (they both die right at the end and both die [[Blatant Lies|finally]] killing Freddy, played straight with Kincaid, Joey and Kristen in ''The Dream Master'' and Dan ''The Dream Child'').
* [[Supernatural
* [[Take That]]: Freddy is named after a bully that tormented Wes Craven as a kid.
* [["Take That!" Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Freddy's daughter}} does this after {{spoiler|stuffing a pipe bomb in his gut at the end of ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare''.}}
Line 336:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Multiple examples.
** Dylan in "New Nightmare". The sheer amount of danger he gets into in that film makes his continued survival frankly baffling to witness. He at one point tries to escape Freddy by ''climbing into a lit furnace''.
* [[Took a Level
** Lampshaded in nearly every film. Mark turns into his superhero creation, Rick shows master karate skills, Taryn dreams she's a punk biker chick...and none of this does anything to stop Freddy.
* [[Torture Cellar]]: The boiler room.
