[edit] Plot Synopsis

This plot synopsis needs extensive work. As detailed as it is, it's overly detailed concerning trivial scenes (like the details and links concerning Spencer's death) while ignoring important plot points in the story. It says that Freddy's return is unexplained, when Freddy actually explained it halfway through the film. It doesn't mention the dream demons at all, which are a major story element, and it says that Freddy's motive for releasing John Doe is to lure fresh victims to Springwood, which isn't even true: it's clearly stated to be luring Maggie back so the barrier can be broken. The plot description refers to several elements as "unexplained" when they actually were explained by the dialogue, and the article gives the impression of script holes where there were none. 74.227.184.15 02:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Then trim the scenes, and correct any events, but extranous details should not be added. This is a simple movie, and does not need an extensive plot. Halloween (1978 film) doesn't have an extensive plot, and it is featured. You don't have to add 2k characters just to correct something.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Point taken. I've tried to clarify a few plot elements, but without being too extraneous this time.74.227.184.15 03:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I've gone through and reworded some things and removed some peacock terms, which I don't believe were your doing anyway. I removed the details of Spencer and Carlos' deaths, as the preceding sentence already established that they were killed, so how they died became extraneous. Though, I clarified that they fell asleep before they died.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song?

Wasn't there a song called "Freddy's dead" ? I think it was made in the 80's or 70's. -Yancyfry 21:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion about cast

I'm holding a discussion at Talk:A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)#Cast in regards to the cast list for the film series as a whole (and the comics if need be).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
