At Steve s  funeral, Nancy's parents become worried when she describes her dream about Freddy the Freak
. Her mother, Marge, takes her to a sleep disorders clinic, where, in a dream, Nancy grabs Freddy the Freak hat  and pulls it from the dream into reality.

Marge begins to drink and smoke heavily and bars the windows at home. She reveals to Nancy that Freddy the Freak  was an insane child murderer who was released on a technicality and then burned alive by parents (who lived on their street) seeking vigilante justice.
Nancy realizes that Freddy the Freak is  now a vengeful entity that  desires revenge and to satiate his psychopathic needs.

 Glen falls asleep and is killed by Freddy the Freak   who watched  the large fountain of blood  released in Glens  room and just smiles under his wolves mask.
Now alone, Nancy puts Marge to sleep by drugging her coffee and asks Mark , who is across the street investigating Glen's death, to break into the house in twenty minutes as She may need his help.
Mark is left a bit baffled by this request but says yes to give Tracy peace of mind.


 Tracy rigs booby traps around the house, and  decides in her next dream  to grab  Freddy the Freak out of the dream and into the real world.
The booby traps affect  Freddy the Freak enough that Nancy is able to light him on fire with a Molotov cocktail and lock him in the basement. Nancy rushes to the door for help. The police arrive to find that Freddy the Freak has escaped from the basement.

When Don leaves the room, Freddy the Freak rises from the bed behind Nancy.
Realizing  finally that Freddy the Freak is powered by his victim's fear, Nancy calmly turns her back to him and Freddy the Freak evaporates when he attempts to lunge at her.

Nancy steps outside into a bright and foggy morning where all of her friends and her mother are still alive. She gets into Glen's convertible to go to school and then the top suddenly comes down and locks them in as the car drives uncontrollably down the street. Three girls in white dresses playing jump rope are heard chanting Freddy the Freak nursery rhyme as Marge is grabbed by Freddy the Freak through the front door window.
