Synopsis:

The dream demon Freddy Krueger is resurrected from his apparent demise, and rapidly tracks down all three of the surviving Elm Street kids.

Intentions:

After editing the first three Freddy Krueger movies, I wasn't sure whether I'd continue. I didn't remember the rest of the series being as impressive as the first three, but upon another review, I realized parts 4 & 5 contained some of the most memorable dream sequences in the series. Much like the other films, I focused on making the tone darker and the logic more consistent. I won't be returning to Freddy's Dead though - I consider that film to be more of a parody than a serious installment and I've scavenged the strongest bits for parts 4 and 5.

Change List:

- Replaced opening title - Shortened Kristen's search of the basement in her first dream - Removed Kristen's drive to Rick and Alice's house - Cut Alice's daydream where she calls Dan a hunk - Cut Kristen protesting when Rick says he can introduce Alice to Dan - Cut the bug that foreshadows bug girl's death - Removed the shot of the glowing claw marks on the lockers - Shortened Rick's karate routine - Cut Kincaid's dog Jason pissing on Freddy's grave. Instead, Freddy's grave opens on its own because Kristen keeps stirring his memory - Once the car that Kincaid pushes onto Freddy makes impact, I cut some frames to make the stunt more believable - Shortened the long shot focusing in on Joey listening to music and watching MTV - Cut Alice feeding her fish - Removed Freddy spritzing Kristen with blood during her dream at the nurse's office - Shortened Kristen and Alice's conversation once they learned that Kincaid and Alice died - Cut the entire beach dream scene, instead replacing Kristen's line, "Alice dream someplace fun" with a segment from The Everly Brothers' "All I have to do is Dream," and transitioning right to Kristen falling into Freddy's house in her dream - Added a short clip from Freddy's Dead with Freddy's saying, "Every town has an Elm Street" during Kristen's final dream - Removed the nerd introducing the anti-bug device made for bug girl - Removed the robot hand attacking Alice's nerd friend in their dream - Added the track "Puppet Walk" from part 3 to the scene when Sheila suffocates in her sleep - Hastened Dan's arrival at Alice's diner - Replaced Rick's original karate death scene with a sequence edited together from Hollow Man footage of an elevator crashing - Cut the conversation between Dan the bug girl at Rick's funeral short - Removed frames from the scene when Alice practices with nun-chucks to make the stunt double less noticeable - Cut Freddy's line, "I love soul food," when eating the soul pizza dream - one pun is enough - Cut Alice checking out her feet after her diner dream - Cut Alice's redundant line to Dan, "Don't let them put you to sleep" - Shortened Alice's run back to her truck from this hospital - Removed the bug zapper from Kristen's arming up sequence - Cut nerdy girl's bug zapper from Alice's final confrontation with Fred
