Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare — Deleted Scenes
Several scenes were cut from the sixth Elm Street venture. Due to a longer version was needed for television, some of these scenes were reintegrated for the broadcast version of the film. Additionally, Laser Paradise released a limited DVD in Germany containing a different edit of the film that incorporated some deleted material. No home video release contains the deleted scenes in full.
Notable cut scenes:
- Introduction to Maggie: Maggie being awakened and confronted by her (adopted) mother regarding her birthday
- Maggie’s daydream with the dream demons
- Doc lecturing Tracy about breaking her destructive cycle of behavior during her workout
- John’s full dream in the shelter
- Freddy absorbing Carlos’ soul
- Maggie finding Freddy’s old lair behind a wall in the basement of 1428 Elm Street
- Teenage Freddy stabbing his stepfather
Director Rachel Talalay briefly discussed these cut scenes during our exclusive interview. “It’s really unclear to me why there are so many versions floating around,” said Talalay. “I have no idea who makes these decisions. I don’t know why they would cut [those scenes] out. It was probably for a specific length.”
