The most noted cut scene from A Nightmare on Elm Street 5<\/em> surrounds Greta’s death. Written as a girl who suffers from bulimia to keep her model figure, Greta’s death involved Freddy scooping out her stomach and feeding her the innards\u2014proving “you are what you eat.” Additionally, Dan’s original transformation sequence was more detailed.<\/p>\n

Director Stephen Hopkins discussed the trimming of these scenes in Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy<\/em>. \u201cWe just had to keep cutting and cutting and cutting [those scenes], sending [the film] back and forth to the MPAA\u2014I don\u2019t know, 20 times or something,\u201d said Hopkins. \u201cGreta\u2019s death was deemed to be much too foul. Freddy fed her herself in the end. It\u2019s sort of silly to take it seriously. I think if we had a longer post [production] we could have fought about it [with the MPAA].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just know that scene was much longer and gorier, but it sort of happened super-fast the way [the scene] ended up,\u201d added actress Erika Anderson. \u201cI don\u2019t think it was as good; it didn\u2019t have as much impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Due to MPAA objection, both scenes were trimmed for the theatrical release to achieve an R rating. They were later restored for the Laserdisc and VHS uncensored editions; however, the DVD and Blu-ray releases do not include these scenes because of rumored film master problems.<\/p>\n
