This is the only time we get to see Freddy's trial.
This is the first time in the Elm Street canon that we see unburned Freddy (not including Robert Englund's makeup-less cameos in Part 2 and Part 4)
The title is referenced by the song from heavy metal singer Alice Cooper. He will appear as Freddy's father in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" (1991).
In the orginal A Nightmare On Elm Street, Freddy targets the children of the lynch mob that burned him alive. In this episode he targets the members of the lynch mob that burned him alive.
