- It took upwards of 3 hours to get Robert Englund fully into the Freddy makeup
- More than 500 gallons of fake blood was used
- The role of Nancy was highly sought; Heather Langenkamp beat out over 200 actors for the part including Demi Moore, Jennifer Grey, Courteney Cox and Tracy Golde (from Growing Pains, not the porn-star)
- In some sense of irony, the first time Robert Englund tried on the Freddy glove, he cut himself
- The words "Elm Street" are not actually said during the film
- New Line Cinema was on the verge of bankruptcy, until the success of this film
- Freddy is on the screen less than 7 minutes
- From some deleted scenes there was indication that Nancy and her friends were not all "only children"; they had brothers and sisters who were previously killed by Freddy
